Laurens St. Phione 446 Willard Batteries COTTON ADVANCED $20.00 THE BALE Record for the Past Week And In(. cations are Favbrnblo for Further Rise. Now Orleans, Sept. 11.-The price of cotton moved over a range of nearly four cents it pound, or $20 a bale last week, fluctuations -being violent in the extreme on several sessions and h(eld in ceck only 'by the rules of the cot ton exchange, limiting price changes to 200 points In any one session. On Wedesday all months -bulged the full 200 1poInts allowed, on the iirst sales on the opening call, something never before witnessed. At the highest lev els of the week prices were 400 Ioiits over last week's close and at the low est they were unchanged to 15 poilits u-p, contpared with the same close. The range carried the market over 38.5 to '400 points. October traded ias high as 21.-19 and 'May as high as 22.10. On the close October stood at 20.25 and May at 19.15, 'the near m1ioith. being im1uch; stronger than the distant in the last couple- of sessions of the week. The close showed net gains of 135 to 27t points on the list. In the spot depart ient middling gained :1.25 points in 'tle net resuilts, cloing at 20.25 aganst 29.25 a year ago. in the ear'ly sesloins of the week the tendency of Liverpool to make sensa tiol advances was the chief sti mu lating inlitence, but later on the heavy lains In Texas and the '11ppearane of a hurricane ii the tropical waters were the main factors. On tile closing session pronounced strength was displayed as the riesult of the disastrous storni in Texas and the increasing evidence that the hur ricane Was moving toward the Yuca tan channel from whieh locality it would he the usual menace to thei cotton region. The storm in Texas had marked effect on values because it follcr."'ed several days of local rains, the effect of which was held to -be disastrous because of the great quantity of cotton open In the west. A great deal of attention was -paid diuring the week to the 'buying flurries In the cotton goods markets of the country and advances in prices there were reacted favorably on values in the cotton market. The textile situa tion -was brought into increased prom Inence because mIll takings for the week of American cotton were 232,000 'bales against 141.000 this week last year, and 16'7,000 two years ago. Tle Increased exports of yarens from Great BrItain iwere received very fav oi'ably. liritishi boai'd of ti'ade re tiirns showed exports of yarns (Iuring August of 15,200,000 pottnds against 12,900,000 during the same month last year. -Reports of a generally betteri spct i11(iitry in the markets of the in-I terior had not a little o (to with the else in contracts. * * *, * * * ** * * * * * * ** * N.tN h'E NEWVS* * * * *9* e* * * * * 9e* * Narnie, Sept.
