Market Easy on Opening
Due to Cables And
Weather Report
NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 5—
i The cotton market opened easy due
partly to unfavorable cables but
mainly to showers in Texas and Ok
lahoma. First trades showed losses
of 12 to 16 points and prices con
tinued to ease until October sold at
18.85, December 19.14, and January
19.22 or 17 to 18 points under j’es
terday's close.
Liquidation by speculative buyers
! added to the decline and at the end
of the first hour the market was
still easy and at the lews.
The market rallied rather sharply
in the second hour on good trade
buying and on reports Wall street
operators had again entered the
market on belief western rams were
not general enough to relieve the
drought. All early decline was recov
1 ered, October trading up to 19.04,
! and December 19.32, or 18 to 10
points up from the early lows.
Later the market weakened again
on renewed liquidation probably
i based on the detailed weather re
port showing more general rains
i than indicated in earlier reports. At
: mid-session the market had receded
17 to 10 points from the top;

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK. Sept 5.—The
cotton market opened barelv steady
at a decline of 4 to 15 points and
soon showed net losses of 14 to 17
points under selling inspired by re
latively easy cables and reports of
rains in the southwest. Offerings
were absorbed and covering and
j trade buying on the decline to 19 22
i for December and 19.48 for March
and after the first rush of selling
subsided, the market became less
active and somewhat steadier. At
the end of the first half hour lor
December was selling around 19.27,

selling and the market was much
less active, with prices a little more
