New Orleans, after Its holiday of
the day before, lost 14 points on cot
ton contracts Wednesday, as compar
ed with the close for Monday. T his
considerably surpassed the small re
action which was due to balance the
weakness of Tuesday at New York,
which Wednesday managed to break
even, except for 2 points loss in the
distant positions. It was rumored
that the national ginners figures
would be 10,800,000. The opening
was 5 to 9 points higher at New
York on cables, and only 2 points low
er to 1 point higher at New Orleans,
this being due to the absorption of
the decline In New York on the day
before. These prices were advanced
3 to 7 points during the morning, but
in the afternoon Values worked low-
The close was at the worst for
the session. Spots were unchanged
in both markets.
Liverpool opened 1-2 to. 2 1-2 points
higher, being due 1 to 2 lower. At
the early afternoon call the net
gains were further Increased. The
close was steady, 3 to 6 1-2 points
above the final for the day before.
The market Is due 7 points down this
morning. Spot prices were unchang
ed, the sales being the generous total
of 10,000 bales, the same figures as
for the two days before.
In the local spot market the salds
were confined to small lots of
lower grades, which sold on a basis
of about 11 3-8 cents for good mid
dling. The demand for the better
grades was at concessions which hol
ders were unwilling to mrike. Quo
tations are unchanged from Tues
day.
