NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, October Highly favor.
able spot accounts lifted the price of cot
ton today. following small declines on the
opening under the effect of unfavorabe
political news OF overnight II was gen
orally considered that the initial decline
would have been wider but for the un-
favorable weather over great part of
the belt. Nearly all southern spot mar
kets reported a better demand and large
trading was done in the local market aft
err hours yesterday. The local spot sales
in the south today added up to 57,57f
bales. which was considered remarkably
large for a Saturday, since most markets
observe a half holiday at the week end
From declines under the close of yester-
day of 3 to I points there was an adj
vance to levels 10 to Fl points over On
the close much realizing came from the
long side and last prices were at net
gains Of but to 13 points December
sold down to 2o.90cf rose to 21.1Sc. and
closed at 21.02e. October's strength was
pronounced as the result of a possible
squeeze OF shorts in that month. the shorts
appearing to most people to be in an UNI
favorable position as regards tenders o.
toher was the strong month at the end
of the day, closing 13 up at 2103c. 1t
traded at 21,f0c at it's best.
A great deal of rain fell in the belt
overnight. except that only scattered
showers were noted in Texas. At many
points the rainfall amounted to from two
to three inches. These conditions were
regarded ms highly damaging for open cot :
ton and Increased bullish sentiment to a
considerable extent.

High and Lou in Oils
Have Varied Greatly


New York. october 7.-Standard Oil
issues were the greatest features of
the curb market this week, the ad-
sances in that group being indicated
by the fact that on 100 shares of STAN
dard Oil of New York there was a
difference of $1,000 between the low
price of the week and the high price
made yesterday. Nearly quarter of
a million shares of Standard Oil of

week. Gulf Oil was also traded in

In the industrial list nest import
ance was attached to Durant Motor
which moved up from A to new high

also made new high record, advance

There was excited trading in Stan
dard Oil issues again today. Standard
Oil CT New York advanced 9 points TO
the new high of $40. Vacuum Oil also
made a new high record. advancing to
$40. and Indiana rose to the new high
of 1874. Part of the trading on these
movements consists OF purchases "un-

EARLY ADVANCES
IN COTTON WERE
MET BY SELLING

New York. October There was
a continuation of the recent buying
movement in cotton today, but early
selling and were followed by re-
actions under realizing for over the
weekend. December contracts sold
up to 21.S3c, or 20 points net higher
and 157 points above the low price
touched on the reactions of late last
month, and closed at 2162c. with the
general market closing easy at net
advances of 1 to 10 points.
The market opened steady at
decline OF points to an advance of
points There were quite a good
many overnight selling orders around
the ring, which included southern
hedging as well as realizing by re-
| cent buyers. but they were readily
absorbed. The uncertainty of affairs
in the near east and rather bearish
week lend statistics, appeared to be
overshadowed by bullish adyices from
the goods market and the more en-
couraging nature of reports from the
southern spot market. At any rate
the market showed considerable
strength, selling about 15 to 70
points net higher during the middle
! of the morning, with October touch
ing 21.40c and January 21.66c. These
prices seemed high enough to bring
in more profit taking. while there
also appeared to be little more
southern hedging late in the morning
and the close showed reactions of 10
or 20 points from the best. The dis
position to take profits for over the
week-end was attributed partly to
nervousness over near east affairs
but there was also some talk of
reaction on a belief that tho market
had worked into an easier technical
position and that further advances
we're increased
The early buying probably found
some announcement in the reports OF
showers or rains east of the Missls-
sippi river, which were thought like
~ to hurt the grade of cotton or
delay picking in some sections.

STEEL DEMAND
HASLESSENED IN
METAL MARKET

New York, October demand for
steel has lessened materially follow
ing the recent active railroad buying
in advance Of the October l rise IN
rails, and buyers generally are show
ing more disposition to await new
developments. Rail ambargoes and
congested traffic are interfering
with the movement of both raw ma
terials and finished products and are
causing delays in deliveries. Pig iron
is quieter also. While prices are tr-
regular. the tone is easier. Foreign
iron continues to arrive in consider
able volume despite the new tariff.
Copper continues quiet. Export de-
mand is unimproved and home con-
sumption has also shown some falling
off. New price shading is reported
from the Ia cent level.

Private Wire News


Birmingham, October Especially
the absence of Liverpool and any par

rather narrow, but firm during the short
session today The initial figures were
to 10 points above yesterdays close and
advanced 20 points further in the first
hour on buying OF good character and a
bullish weather report for the entire cot
ton region. In the last hour there was
considerable Weekend profit taking. many
fearing the over holiday news from the
near east might not look so good Monday
morning. This caused slight reaction.
However, the finals averaged about
points net gain for the day. Spots were
generally unchanged with reports that de-
mand continued good and sales heavy.
southern spot markets sold yesterday
d4,090 bales, of which Texas sold $1,000.
The cotton goods market In Worth street
continues brisk, making seasons record

markahle strength throughout the week
in face Of the diseuuragng situation in the

expect a great Improvement in exports.
We continue of the opinion that prices
will eventually sell much higher and adj
