NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, oct l6-HeaVy
realizing of profits on long contracts on
what was generally termed an over
bought market caused moderately wide
reactions in the price of cotton today,
following upturns in the early session,
when the buying movement Of last week
was still much in evidence.
Offerings from the older longs, at hrSt
merely a dribble, gradually swelled and
after nntd-session more than supplied
the demand. When December touched
22.2o sellers increased and from then on
the market was under more or less pres
sure until the close. At its lowest the
trading position 20 to "a points under
the final prices Of Saturday with De-
cember off to 21.75. The close was at
net declines on the day of IL to Is
points, with December at 21.so.
Scattered rains over the belt, heavy
in some localities, the forecast Of more
rain to come, warning Of another storm
in the Caribbean sea and better cables
than due were the supporting features
Of tho early session.
Around noon a new demand met the
recessions but it was soon filled and in
the late trading the lowest levels were
reached under what looked like selling
out by important holders OF long con-
tracts.
