\*w Orleans, La., An*. 12.— It
H-as an advancing market in cotton
this week, the close showing net
gains of 135 to 142 points. High
est prices were made in the early
sessions, after which there were re
actions, but in the late tradiim the
■Mrkct came back strongly. At the
■mighrst the trading positions were
144 to 160 ponits over the dose of
the preceding week; at the lowest
they still were 17 to 36 points over.
In the spot detriment prices gam
ed 100 points in the net results.
uRwimg at «.uu cent* a
pound against 21.13 on the close of
this week last year.
The main reason for the advance
was the droughty conditions prevail
ing in Texas and Oklahoma, al
though excessive moisture in por
bnns of the eastern belt and conse
quent increase in insect damage also
hel)>ed values. Reactions of the
middle part of the week were due
to scattered showers in Texas and
Oklahoma, but when, at the end of
the week, it was seen that they were
not continuing, there was a re
sumption of the buying movement
Complaints of premature opening
of boll* on a very extensive scale
came from Texas, and this, bv some
traders, was considered the most
unfavorable of the week
Some of the strength on the ck»
mg session of this last week was
due to the forecast of fair weather
: tor every Stale in the western belt
fm over Sunday, and it is general
ly considered that if the market this
coming week opens on continued
drouth it will he forced to still high
er levels. Rains would have the
effect of checking the advance, but
many circulars on the week-end
warned the trade that if a rainy
spell should set in over the western
cotton belt it would take only a very
few day* to bring in cron cumulaints
I of the worst character, and more
over, it was |>ointed oat that rain*
I in the southern half of Texas would
do a world of damage in the grade
of open cotton, besides preventing
the gathering of the crop.

HANDS OFF IN FIGHT
Washington. Aug. 12—.A predic
tion that mere will be no co-opera
tion between House Democrats and
the Republicans belonging to the
LaFoUette wing of the party in or
ganising the next House was made
today by Representative Garrett, of
Tennessee. Democratic floor leader
in the last congress.
While in. legislative matter* the
I Democrat* may “ co-operate " with
the LaFoUette Republicans, he said,
they will not, in his judgment, per
mit any factional division in the Re
publican party to place them in con
trol of the House and make them
responsible for legislative action
The death of President Harding
did not change the general political
situation. Representative Garrett de
clared, because President Coolidge
has announced his Intention to car
ry ‘Hit the imlieies of his predeces
sor.
These gentlemen were enthusiastic
in their appreciation of the success
of the association, and expressed
themselves as willing to stand be
hind it financially far the
