NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
COTTON MARKET

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 25.-while the cotton market was rather tame affair during the greater part of the session today, the late trading brought heavy buying and decided strength on which prices bulged to new high levels for the the 3Oc mark to 30.15c. Active months were carried 34 to 45 points higher than the last prices of yesterday. The close was very steady at net gains on the day of 34 to 40 points, last sales of Decem- ber ranging from 3009c to So12c pound.
 from Liverpool to local houses were mainly responsible. They stated that the cotton conference at Manchester had ad- tourned after deciding to ask the British government for aid in buying cotton and in extending the market for textile. This, it was felt was likely to result in a greatly improved British demand for American cotton. Prospects of continued cold weather in the belt with some snow in the northwest had something to do with the late demand, did also re ports from Georgia that both Memphis and Texas points were trying to buy cot
 In the early trading prices were 20 to weather in the belt. Ginning figures to October IS of 6.400,579 bales were con- sidered small. but just about met ex- pectations and did not have much intlu- ence although some brokers thought that some of the buying toward the close might be traced to this report. Follow ing the initial gains much selling from morning it had prices l to 6 points under yesterdays close with December to 29.6Sc. In the afternoon real strength was as sumed.

COTTON MARKET .CONTINUESSTRONG

NEW YORK. Oct. 25.-The cotton
 market showed continued strength and activity today with prices mak- ing new high records for the sea- son on very unfavorable weather re- ports from the south and the prompt stopping of the final october notices. December sold up to 30.6Sc, CT 5S points net higher and closed at 30,5Sc. The general market closed steady at a net advance of 2S to 75 points.
 The feature at the opening was a jump in the price of october to 31.3Oc or 80 points above the closing quota tions of yesterday. The general mar ket opened firm at an advance tf 75 points on October and of II to 20 points on later months owing to rela- lively steady cables and the unfavor- able weather map. The initial de- mand for October was supplied above the 31c level and the price dropped back to 30.75c shortly after the call Later months reacted in sympathy, but October SC on firmed up again, the last sale just before midday being at 31.20c or at a premium of 105 points over December In all, notices representing about 13,OOO bales were issued during the morn ing but the cotton was evidently wanted. The near month strength probably promoted buying of later months on the unfavorable weather news and offerings were ctm- paratively light during the afternoon when January sold up to 30.09c and March to 30.12c, making net advances of 42 to 5S points off from the best under realizing. The census report showing 6,400,579 bales ginned to October IS, against 6,67S,321 last year, was almost exactly in line with the forecast and was not an impor- tant factor in the price movement. The late afternoon advance was en- couraged by more favorable reports from the cotton goods trade, includ- ing a report that one of the mills which recently closed down was re- opening in some departments. Aside from the strength Cf the near month, the main factor on the advance, how ever, was the unfavorable weather and belief that little or no top crop could be expected. Exports today, 21,9Se, making 1,465,45S so far this season. Port receipts, 45,729. United States port stocks, 746,601.

HIGH-GRADE RAILS MSTRONG GDEMAND

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Bond trad CTS were kept busy today filling or ders for the higher grade railroad ! mortgages of the 1 per cent issues. More than a score of these bonds, several of them not listed on the New York stock exchange, accordingly ad- Vanced from small fractions to near ly ? points. The buying was reported to have come from Holland, where many of the older railroad As are also listed.
 This greatly increased demand for railroad securities, however, did not extend to the general run of rail- road bonds, and there was wide spreadF selling of Missouri Pacific, and st. Paul bonds particularly, all of which touched new lows for the year.
 Buying and selling were about evenly divided in the industrial and public utility groups, the former in- clining upward slightly, while the latter moved to lower ground. Price movements in the industrials were influenced for the most part by stock prices.
 Active United states government bonds continued to be bought in; seyeral blocks of the tax-exempt 3hs moving above par for the first time in two months.
