First Trades Down, Then
Rallies At End of First
Hour
NEW ORLEANS, April 2.—W—
The cotton market opened slightly
easier in sympathy with lower Liver
pool cables. First trades showed
losses of 5 to 9 points, and prices
continued to ease off under selling
promoted by favorable weather. May
traded down to 19.70. July 19.78 and
October 19.71, or 13 to 14 points be
low yesterday’s close.
Towards the end of the first hour
indications of unsettled weather
checked the decline and prices ral
lied 3 to 4 points from the lows.
Following the slight rally the mar
ket turned easy under renewed sell
ing on the favorable weather and on
a private acreage estimate forecast
of an increase of 4.7 per cent. May
sold off to 19.65. July to 19.73 and
October 19.65. or 18 to 20 points be
low yesterday's close.
Towards noon expectation of a
bullish weevil report and the
steadier stock market induced |
shorts to cover and prices rallied 5 ]
to 6 points from the lows.

NEW YORK. April 2.—tTi—Cot
ton opened steady at a decline of 2
to 7 points, with active months
showing net losses of about 10 to 13 j
points by the end of the first hour j
under further liquidation combined ]
with some Memphis and Wall Street ]
selling. Easier ruling of later cables
from Liverpool and a more favor
able view of the weather seemed re
sponsible for part of the pressure
which sent Mav off to 20.47 and new
l Octover tc 19.87.
A private report estimating nrob
able increase in acreage at 4.7 per
cent, and the area to be planted at
49.137.000 acres, led to a little more
selling. May declined to 20.40 and
new October to 19.81, making net
declines of about 18 to 22 points on
the more active positions.
Business tapered off at the lower
level, however, and the market was
quiet later, with prices steadier on
covering. At midday, active months
showed rallies of 7 to 8 points from
the lowest. The market was about
10 to 15 points net lower.
Futures closed steady, 2 to G

SMASH GREEN
BEAN RECORD
Eighteen Cars Loaded In
Valley Monday; Price
Holds At $2.00
A new record in green bean ship*
ments from the Valley was estab
lished by loadings Monday when 13
cars, 5 freight and 13 express, moved
out. Shippers stated this was the
heaviest daily loading of green
beans in the history of the truck
industry in the Valley.
The major part was loaded at San
Benito and Brownsville, few b
moving from the upper section W
the Valley. In addition to tim
straight cars a large volume w|t;
shipped in mixed cars.
Cabbage loadings were reduced to
29 cars, the lowest in recent weeks.
The price sagged last week to $6 per
ton. and many shippers are refusing
to take cabbage at any price. Total
U. S. shipments Monday was 41 cars,
and it is possible that the reduction
in the movement will restore the
market to some extent.
Potato loadings totaled 25 cars,
the price holding around *2.00 per
hundred to the grower. The bean
price also is holding around $2.00
per hamper, with shippers predict
ing a steady price throughout the
week.

in heavy volume frem the Mercedes
section, with 49 cars of these com
modities moving out Monday. The
price is holding level with a good de
mand.
