AT WEEK'S CLOSE
Rise Of 128 to Ht Points
From Lowest To Highest
In New Orleans Market
New Orleans, La, Aug. 1. The low
prices of last week ia the eottoa market
were made oa the opening teasioa aad
the high price oa the closing session
From the lowest to th highest there
was a rise of 128 to It points. The
close was at net gaits ef 127 to 136
points.. At the lowest levels the active
months were four points under to Ave
points over the close of the preceding
week and at the highest they were If
to 144 point ever. October traded down
to 11.64. rose to 13.f, ao4 closed at
13.02- la, the spot demartment prices
gained 123 points on middling, which
closed at 1!.5, against 3Q.75 a year ago.
The opening session of th week
brought a bulge of over a cent a pound
because of the bullish showing of the
government's figures oa the growing
crop and much more faforable annual
statistics than eipecTed. The advance
was kept going by the hot and dry
weather in the belt, especially in the
western portions, and complaints that
it was causing severe deterioration. Ho?
winds were complained of at times In
the western belt, but during the last
half of the week large areas east of the
Mississippi river received showers. Ei
trcrtiely hot weather continued to the
end of the week in the west and the
closing session brought official weather
returns showing temperatures of 100
nnd above at many points Texa's re
ported temperatures up to 106 degrees
and Oklahoma up to 109.
The foundation for the week's sd
vanco- was laid m iuq (uvciuuitiii
port of 64.7 per cent of normal as the
condition of f tie crop on July 25th. This
was f he lowest percentage of .condition
ever returned 011 that dste, and was
fully three, points under general etpee,
tatioii. It indicated a, croja of 'ut
lo.l.iNMI bales, and if these figures ure
reali7.d it will mean that the South
has grown the smallest crop in 26 nit
sons. ..
The outstanding feature of the annual
statistics was the carry over of 0,lil,
(KM bales, which, while the largest
carrv over on record, was far under ev
