UNUSUAL STRENGTH IN COTTON MARKET DURING PAST WEEK
Prices Sent to Highest Point Registered Since Early Last Winter Passing the
 18-Cent Mark
By Ashocinteh PrcsA

New Orleans, September 4.-The cotton market this last week was more active and stronger than it has been for many months previous. and prices were sent to new high levels for the season and to the highest point registered since early last win ter, October rising at it's best to 17.56c and May to IS 22c January touched 1Sc and the later months crossed that mark. The opening ses- sion saw the lowest levels of the week, and the closing session the highest New high levels for the season were made daily At the highest trading months were 221 to 2S5 points over the close of the pre- ceding week, and al the lowest they were to points under. On the close the market showed net gains of 214 to 227 points. October closed at r .49c and May at IS. 10c. In the spot department middling gained PIP points in the net results, closing t 17c. A year ago middling closed at 2S.T5c.
 The one great factor back of the advance was the governments re- port on the condition of the crop on August 25. Prior to this report there was heavy buying on anticipations that it would be bullish, and there was even heavier buying after it was issued because 1t was more bull ish than expected, the percentage of 49.3 being the lowest condition re- port ever issued by the government. This condition pointed to a crop of but 7,037,000 bales, and some of the buying of the last two seasons of the week was due to the claim that the crop had deteriorated since August 25, and that the chances were for another bullish report in September which would put the indicated crop figures below the 1000, ,o00-bale level.
 Supplementing the crop report as a bullish factor were accounts from the cotton goods centers of this country, telling of an increasing de- mand and very strong prices. Some of the strength on the close was de- rived from reports that many mills and wholesalers were withdrawing lines of cotton goods from the mar ket, and that in many of the other instances they were refusing to sell large quantities of goods at the prices prevailing. Manchester sent over more hopeful reviews of trade there, and at the end of the week Hester placed world mill takings of American cotton at 232,000 bales, against 138,o 900 the same week last year and 215,o0o the same week two years ago.
 This week the market will not open until Tuesday because of Labor Day. A review of the circulars is- sued at the end of last week indi- cate general opinion that the trade in the near future will not be able to get very far away from consid- eration of weather conditions, and their effect on the crop. There were many predictions of FOG cotton in the event of continued severe crop deterioration.

Preliminary figures for July indicate that the net revenue for that month will approx innate s15. ,o00 This will almost equal the average of the three years ending June 30, l9l7. which was the most prosperous period Of American railroad history.

 In the Pacific coast lumber trade there is a similar diversion of trai- fife, for during the first half of 1921 there were s3.ooo.ooo feet of lumber shipped by water to the Atlantic coast, as against only a million and a half in 1920. The railroads are en- deavoring to meet this competition by reducing transcontinental rates but no reduction has as yet been made in rates to and from inland points where there are no competing steamships to carry the freight, Even Henry E d has been finally for

ceeded its authority and requested that
