WARE A LFLAND’S DAILY COTTON LETTER* New Orleans. Sept. 26.-nad weather tad little effect on prices today. The trop- cal storm that has been careening around n the gulf finally decided to make straight for the hesrt of the cotton belt via New Orleans, hot the trade viewed this with apathy. Considerable rain and probable damage to open cotton was reported over the l»elt ( but this stlrre4i up very little bullish enthnslssm. A cold wave was dear ly defined In the .northwest, and was ap parently headed for the cotton region, to follow In the wske of the rains, but oven this did not stimulate huvlng. and the tal ent nt Isst came to the conclusion that the so-cnlled "chronic bulls" were short of the market, and were refusing to take losses on their shorts. Liverpool wsi * ter than expected, owing to bidding L„ ... cnl operators, according to private stable- grams, and this, together with the bad weather, caused n slightly higher opening, but after the Inltlsl tlhrry prices showed no huoynnrv and with any aggressiveness on the part of the l»ears would probably have gone deddedly lower. At. no time did the market have a good undertone, and this was due more or lees to the fart thnt the spot demand was decidedly less urgent than It has t>een. and some fac tors were willing to admit that they foun( It bard to sell cotton. Tho movement wll nroliahly show some shrinkage In the near future, owing to the bad weather that has been experienced In the belt, bnt It In doubtful If this will stimulate spot buy. Ing. Buyers, ns a whole, have made up their minds that prices are too high by, st least, a half cent, and ft will take strong developments to mors them from their waiting attltnde. QIBERT & CLAY’S DAILY COTTON LETTER New Orleans, Bepf. M.—The Improve- msnt In options was attributed by cnldea to speculative buying of near months and selling of distant positions. Closing prices ware 102 points higher than yeaterday's levels. Spot sales continue light, only 5. 000 (Miles having been sold, but at an nd vance In quotations of < points. The pres ence of the storm off the gulf coast and the exceedingly wet and unfavorable weath er over the belt thnt the man recorded this morning caused aborts to display consid erable nervousness, resulting In n further Improvement from opening prices, quietness and easier tone of the spot t ket, however, lessened to a large degree what otherwise might have been called n bullish situation, but lacking fresh and healthful snpport, prices soon lost the Ini tial advance.
