Deelded. New Orleans, May 22.--The trend of prices it the cotton market this week was anything but decided and fluctua tions were narrow, the range for the week being only 42 to 55 points. On the close prices nyere 15 points down to nine points up, compared with tle close of the preceding week. July traded -as high as 12.71, fell off to 12.16 and closed at 12.2i. .In the spot (le partment, middling gained 13 points In the net results, closing at 11.75. A year ago middling closed at 10.25. The even balance of the trading fac tors of the week accounted for the, narrow price changes. The weather over the belt was at once favorible land unfavorable, there were favorable and unfavorable reports in foreign news and the same thing might be said about reports from textile cell tors of this country, although, on the whole, the trade was inclined to look upon business among the mills as making at least slight improvement. Iales of 180,000 pieces of print cloths in the Fall River market for the week, rere regarded as encouraging but much of their effect was lost because of the claimis of a much Iarger -busI ness doing which was not cofirlmcd in tile o!llcial return:s at the close of the week. The weather reports of the week in dieated that over a considerable .or tion of the belt the absence of rainfall and seasonably high temperatures were favorable for crop work and de velopment but there was luch com plaint of poor stands, slow growth of plants and practically every state in the belt reported m11uch )1-antlng yet to be accomplished. Toward the end of the week, large sections of Texas and Oklahoma commenced to complain of drouth.
