COTTON MARKET /.

Washington, Oct D. (UP) -
Heavy rains have delayed the cot

of damage to open, cotton in many
localities east Of the Mississippi
river, the weather bureau said to-
day in its weekly weather and crop
bulletin.
The earlier half of the week was
favorable the bulletin said. But
rains fell In the latter part of the
report period. Picking was re-
ported as generally we'll advanced
with practically all cotton open,
although In Arkansas many green
bolls in lowland are still develop
ing.
Absence of heavy rain in the
western cotton belt permitted a
rapid advance in picking and GIN
ming. while in aklahoma late bolls
were opening rapidly and in Texas
picking was practically completed,
