Narrow Changes
in Price of Cotton

New Orleans, May 22.-The trend
Of prices in the cotton market TINS
week was anything but decided ana
fluctuations were narrow, the range
for the week being only AZ to 90
points. On the close prices were 10
points down to 9 points up, COM
pared with the close of the preced-
ing week. July traded as high as
1271c, fell off to 12.16c and closed
at 12.25c. In the spot department
middling gained 13 points in the net
results. closing at 11.75c. A year
ago middling closed at 4O.25c.
The even balance of the, trading
factors of the week accounted for the
narrow price charges. The weather
over the belt was at once favorable

pieces of print cloths in the Fan
