NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS.—Unfavorable
foreign news and a poor Liver
pool market put the price of coL
ton 11 to'17 points leaver around
the opening of the cotton market
Wednesday but almost immediate
ly a new demand of importance
Altered the market and upward
reactions ensued. At the end ‘ot
the first half hour of tradipg
prices were 10 to 19 points higher
than the close of yesterday.
March, fatcr trading down to 26.80
cents a pound, rose tn 27.08.
For a while the tone wae eoft
under the rumor over private wires
that Russia was mobilizing aganlst
Poland. Prices felt oft to abont the
lowest levols but a little later the
market itrengthened on the rumor
that Bavaria wai breaking away
from Germany. This was construed
bulilshly. At 1:30 o’clock March
stood at 27.00 with tbt more active
months at bet gains; of 6 to 8
points.
