NEW YORK. Sept. THE market
made a sharp rally in the early trad
ing today from the decline OF yester-
day and Tuesday. with the general
contract list going back, to between
40 and As points. above yesterdays
closing quotations This was due to
another hot and dry weather map for
the western half of the cotton belt.
with no rainfall apparently having
occurred in Texas or Oklahoma to
relieve the long drought there.
On this mornings rise in contracts
here, the October option went up to
21.o3. December 21.07. January 21.13.
and March 21.2o. This advance was
made the basis. however. for a fresh
profit-taking movement. and as the
recent southern hedge selling contin-
ued. the market suffered a setback in
the late trading which sent prices of
to within II to Is points of their
closing quotations, from which there
was a rally late in the afternoon to a
net advance OF 20 to 25 points by
about 2:3o o'clock over yesterdays
