NEW ORLEANS COTTON
CLOSES AT KET GAIN
Fluctuations Carry Prices Above and
Below Monday’s - Level. But Close is
Above.
Xew Orleans. Oct. o.—Fluctuations
in cotton today carried the price
moderately above and moderately be
low the level of yesterday's close but in
the late trading private reports of much
raiiuin some sections of Texas and the
storm warning for the Louisiana coast
prov<*d the strongest influence of the
day and prices hardened until they
reached the highest of the session, De
cember rising to 27.10 cents a pound
whoro the list showed net. gains of 24
to .‘{l points. The close was at. net gains
on the day of 11 to IS points with clos
ing sales of the December position rang
ing from 20.07 to 20.00.
On the opening the weather map was
regarded favorably as there was litrle
rain in the belt but enough uneasiness
was felt over the low barometer in the
Gulf 'of Mexico to bring about advances
of 2 to 11 points. Sessiug on unfavor
able reports from the cloth market al
most immediately put prices 4 to 8
points under the close of yesterday and
this sort of price change prevailed for
a considerable period, the market not
getting much of anywhere-
Around noon the softest spot on the
day was reached and considerable sell
ing appeared to be caused by easiness in
the stock market. It carried December
off to 26-5 S an the list to net declines of
18 to 26 points. A little later the storm
warning was the main influence and
still later Texas rains were a support.
Some private telegrams from Texas pre
dicted further serious damage to open
cotton by wet weather. Late in the day
short, contracts were covered because of
expectations of an unfavorable weath
er map tomorrow morning.
