VICK A CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER New Orleans, La., Sept. 18.—Liver pool again shows resistance to fur ther declines. Cables report heavy short covering for New York account nnd more disposition by spinners to cover first noeds. Our market opened firm, but scalpers selling, based on the usual expectation of pressure by Now York, soon r Aimed a loss of 10 points. However, certain houses who were most active In the recent bear move tuent could be seen covering on all drops, which harmonizes with the new*; from Liverpool that leading short In terests are covering. Probably the un derlying Idea is that more resistance is expected from spot quarters and a higher selling basis may be establish ed over the storm and frost period. Weather records show extensive rains In the western belt, heavy in localities of central Texas, which report damage by wind and ruin. Indications point to generally cloudy weather and show er* in the belt during the next thirty- six hours. A cold wave has formed In the northwest, nnd the map shows dis tinct developments of a tropical dis turbance over southern Florida, Pen sacola papers reporting severe weather in the gulf. Trading In futures con tinued very quiet. Buying by shorts repeatedly caused small upturns. Par ties arriving from different parts of the belt say farmers are firmer in their demands and little Is being offered. New York, Sept. 18.—The cotton mar ket ruled strong with some demand from foreign sources and some cover ing in this market. Liverpool cables ruled higher, and although weather forecasts were favorable, reports ot storms In the belt caused some South ern buying, which assisted the covering of short contracts. After the early bulge the market lost 4 to 6 points on realising. Southern spot markets showed some easiness with reports of I M »or demand from spinner*. Port re- "Iptg show Increases. New crop mov ing in volume. Reports from private sources state that the biggest part of the crop will be ginned by the middle of October. The storm predictions held prices steady around noon. We be lieve short covering Is at present hold ing prices and believe we will see lower prices In the near future. ADVANCE BROUGHT ABOUT BY COVERING AND PROFIT TAKING.
