COTTON TAKES
 IRREGULAR PATH
Rises And Falls On Con- flicting Reports Of
 Gulf Storm

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.4Cenflicting reports regarding the progress of the gulf disturbance contributed to the ir- regular swing of cotton prices today, Early in the season, following advices that the storm seemed to be diminish. ing and might not reach Texas, there was an advance that elevated October contracts to 2S.4Sc, 56 points above the previous close. On subsequent reports stating that the storm was moving northward, sellingA pressure developed and prices worked off again, October at the close was 20 points under the top. The general market was easy in tone and 32 to g points net higher on the active positions.
 The market opened steady at net advance of 7 to s points. Wire houses seemed to be the best at the opening, but selling pressure soon developed in line with severe break in the New Orleans market, based on the part pri, yate reports to the effect that the South Texas basis was weakening. The Of feringS broke October contracts at 7.55c, from which they subsequently rallied almost 100 points. While very little rain occurred in any part of the southwest, news regarding the progress of the crop was conflicting as ever, and afforded little incentive for aggressive operations on either side of the market. The trade appeared to be inclined to even up and await weather develop ments over Sunday, especially in re- gard to the tropical disturbance.
