WEATHER NEWS|S
 MAIN INFLUENCE ONCOTTON MARKET
Heavy Rainfall in Texas Trading Feature of Week. Statistics Favorable and
 UnfavorabIe
By Associated Press

New Orleans. April 9-Weather news was the main motive power back of fluctuations in the cotton market this week and it resulted in upturns in the early sessions of the week and again on the close. In between, news was more favorable and the market sagged. Influences were so well balanced that fluctu- ations were within limits of 32 to 90 points, May trading as high as 16.91c and as low as 16.51c. On the close. prices were 10 to 39 points higher than the close of the previous week, the last price on May being 16.75c. In the spot department the close was net unchanged with middIing at 16.63c, which compared with lie as the closing price of middling a year ago.
 The extremely heavy rainfall in Texas was the most prominent trad Ing feature of the week. Official reports noted rains of as much as 7lO inches within 24 hours and nu- merous points reported from to 6 inches. Overflowed rivers and creeks and badly washed fields were widely reported and in the more southern portions of the state it was claimed that great deal of re- planting would have to be done. At the end of the week there were private reports of further heavy rains which, with what looked like a cold wave back of them, caused a great deal of uneasiness.
 Effect Unbalanced
 The effect of these heavy rains in Texas was balanced. to some extent, by the breaking of the drought in northern and western sections of the state. Private reports were that the soil had been soaked to such an ex- tent as to assure an adequate re- serve supply of moisture for the coming season. Damage in the west was further balanced by the more favorable conditions in the eastern belt where in southern Georgia. much young cotton was said to be up to good stand, with chopping pro gressing in some localities. Planting was reported finished in Florida and extending into both South and North Carolina.
 The statistics of the week were both favorable and unfavorable. Ex- ports to foreign countries amounted to 179,743 bales against 61,2OS this week last year and 131 200 this week two years ago. On the other hand the mills of the world took only 132,000 bales of American cotton against 172,000 this week last year and 194,00O this week two years ago. The movement of the crop into sight for the week was only 97,752 bales against 145,644 this week last year and 145.6S3 two years ago, but be- cause of the plus correction of 51 .651 bales in the New Orleans stock the visible supply of American in creased 17,709 bales against de- crease this week last year of 26.OS3 and decrease this week two years ago of 73,467. The visible of Amer ican is now S,Ss1,524 bales against 4,l56,335 year ago and 4.315,04s two years ago.
