THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, THURSDAY. AUGUST 22. 1912. COTTON PRICE UP ONBOLLSUPPORT. I Aggressiveness of Big Inter ests Has Stimulating Effect i on the Market. I j NEW YORK. Aug. 21. Despite weak- ' ness abroad and a very favorable weather map irregularity prevailed upon the cutton market todJiy at i the opening with first prices rang Jig from unchanged to 2 points higher 3 to 9 points lower than the final figures of Tuesday. After the call a heavy buying wave prevailed headed by b g profession als and brokers who usually represent ; large spot interests Mitchell was cred ited with buying 30.000 bales of Decem ber and January on the call. Prices at ‘ once made an upward movement with October and December being the most! active positions. October rallied from ' 11.06 to 11.26; December was carried from ; 11.20 to 11.39. There was an unexpected . demand for the late months which ral- t lied them above last night’s close. During the late 'orenoon trading some | of the early buyers turned sellers, which i was believed to be profit-taking. hut later during the afternoon session re- j newed buying prevailed, and the buying of some spot interest caused the ring crowd to cover some shorts ami prices quicklv regained the high levels of the day. with August and December leading the advance. Net gains of 10 to 18 points over the opening were recorded through out the list. Some unfavorable reports from Texas were issued, but very little attention has been paid to them. Os- , ferings were liberal and seemed to be | coming from all sides. McElroys was said i to he a heavy buyer today, which was re- ! ported to be for New Orleans account. At the close the market was steady ! with prices showing a net gain of 6 to 8i points ov?r the final quotations of Tues day. Semi-weeklv interior movement: 1912. 1911. 1910.

Aug 21.—Liverpool came in uoor with futures 2 to 3 points lower than due; spots 7 points lower: sales onlv 5,009. This weakness was a surprise to many as. owing to the hampered ship ping facilities. Liverpool might hold up better than our markets, which will feel the greatest pressure under the existing conditions. The difference between our market and Liverpool may widen consid erably yet. A cable was received saying: ‘ < onsid erabb more doing in Manchester.'' The following reports of new bales support the contention that the lateness of the crop has been unduly exaggerated: "Laurel and Hattiesburg. Miss., have bales " Hacklev. La.: "Cotton opening very rapidly this vicinitv : crop is a few days earlier than last year. ' First trades here wore at a few points del-line, but strong support by certain bull operators in New York advanced the market 10 points soon after the opening Some one circulated a report of a storm in Oklahoma for which there was abso lutely no foundation.

Crop is a few days earlier than last year Gwathmey and Mitchell reported heavy buyers in New York. Also better ad vices from Liverpool caused spurt. The New Orleans Times-Democrat Tuesday’s cotton market left contract values near the 11c mark, with near de liveries showing the greatest declines. The explanation given by the low price people, in effect, was as follows: “Ocean ; freight rates are very high, and there is ’ no more room available out of Galveston for August and September and not much chance io augment the tonnage pro vided until later in the season. The Tex as movement, particularly because of the drouthy conditions in the south and south western portions of the state should in crease rapidly from now on. and with ocean tonnage scarce and high, offerings arc freer, the basis is lower and there is I some reason to expect a touch of con ! gestion at Galveston before very long. • All of which suggests a ver> wide parity between New Orleans and Liverpool The | high price man admits the scarcity of ocean freight room, the presence of in , creasing movement and of more sellers ,of the actual, but can not find proof of lar enormous crop-—more than 11,000,000 ; bales, say nor sufficient evidence of wan ing trade to worry the believer in a very large requirement." 1 Estimated receipts Thursdav: 1912. 1911.
