and commission houses were heav\ buy
ers and through their aggressiveness
prices rallied back toward the earlj
prices.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
I NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 17.—Liverpool
was verj' poor during the first hour,
with futures as much as 8 points lower
than due, but rallied somewhat toward
the close, probably on covering before
Sunday, or intentional support to reg
ulate the decline. Spots were 9 points
I lower.
I Our market declined in the early
trading to 11.26 for October, but. being
Saturday, the disposition was rather to
even up. and covering by shorts rallied
prices to 11.37 for October.
.Market prospects for next week de
pend on weather developments and new
crop movement. What is most feared
is that new crop offerings in the cen
tral and eastern states will come in
competition with Texas offerings, which
are filling the limited demand.
