NEW ORLEANS COTTON
BY Associated preaa

New Orleans, October 9.--Unfavorable
weather In the belt, bullish reports CON
corning the progress OF picking and gin
ming and accounts of a large business do
ing at mill centers and dry goods markets
of the country, sent the price of cotton
to higher levels today. After advances
of 40 to a. points much liquidation of
long contracts was felt and prices sagged
in the late trading, the market finally
closing 10 to FL points over last week $
CLOSE. December traded as high az 21.45c
and closed at 21.22c.
Foreign political news was both with
and against values. On the opening ia
vorable opinion was held of the news OF
over Sunday. and it helped to put prices
up but later in the session much of the
liquidation from the long side was to be
traced to various unfsvorahle rumors. sew
eral of them making 1t appear that clash
was imminent between opposing forces at
tho Dardanelles. The market closed on
cable messages over private wires OF this
character.
Private official reports made 1t appear
that great deal of rain fell in the cotton
region over the weekend and the pro-
nounced drop in temperatures caused
worry lest a spell of frost should develop.
Bagging wholesalers here said that points
in Mississippi were cancellins carload or
ders for bagging on the ground that GIN
ming was practically finished. Spot mar
kets were somewhat quieter, but buyers
got much encouragement from Fall River
messages telling of large business in
cloths there at advanced prices. Better
accounts were also received from mill CEN
tiers in the south.

moves by the Turks and Of higher

construed as bullish on wheat and
bearish on corn. Wheat finished easy.

December $1.07A to 9s and May
s10SA to $1.09; corn closed shade
lower TO u C up; oats off shade to

Except for brief time at the out
set. when the upturn a. Liverpool
and the news from the near east
were the chief factors, the wheat
market was for the most part in
cIined to sag. In addition to the big
arrivals of wheat at Winnipeg, the
stock at Fort william, Ontario, had
increased 100000 bushels for he
week. Bears made much, too, of an
unexpected increase of 6,bO0,090
bushels in the amount of wheat on
ocean passage, despite the fact that
world shipments were 100000
bushels less.
Evening up to prepare for any
surprise in the government crop re-
port kept the wheat market from
going very far in a downward direc-
tion and was even led to slight raj
lies as the days trading drew to an
end. Several prominent commission
houses were persistent sellers in the
late dealings, the May delivery IN
particular being attacked but the
market failed to respond to this
pressure.
Corn derived strength from general
expectance that the government re-
port would prove more builish than
turned out to be the case. There
was also a falling off in the visible
supply total Oats we're influenced

a lift to the provision market. after
