At tho opening nthls' morning the cotton market was fever ish and Initial prlcies were 4 to 7 points higher. This, however, was not a full re tponse to the strength in Liverpool, duo to the fact that the Gulf storm has apparcnt- My struck the southern Texas coast, which presumably will mean rain over tho drout-nt area ot Texas. For this reason thero was a good deal of selling, under which prices fere about 2 to 3 points under last Right's close. Spot houses bought a little around the opening, but thero was no general de mand pending the outcome of tho tropical rtorm. Tho western belt forecast strengthened the imnresslon that (ha Oulf storm would ;brlrn: good rains to Texas, and the market coia on to a net loss of somo J- to u 'points. New Orleans wires said that fear el the hurrlcano wu nvnr. and houses with New Orleans connections wera sellerB around tho local ring, while thero was prob- oiy some reselling by people who naa bought on tho more threatening storm news t the earlier week.
