Natural Gas Futures Advance Before U.S. Inventory Report .

Natural gas in New York rose for a fourth day before

a government report tomorrow that may show a

smaller-than-average U.S. inventory increase, as

cold weather spurred demand for the heating fuel.

Supplies probably rose 24 billion cubic feet in the week ended

Oct. 31, according to the median of 14 analyst estimates

compiled by Bloomberg.

Natural gas for December delivery gained 3 cents, or 0.4

percent, to settle at $7.249 per million British thermal

units at 2:50 p.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Gas closed above the 50-day moving average for the second

consecutive day. Prices yesterday broke above the average

for the first time since July 10 and closed above $7 per

million Btu for the first time in a month.

Gas inventories will total about 3.4 trillion cubic feet to start

the cold-weather season in the U.S., when demand peaks for

the fuel. Supplies in last week's Energy Department report

were 2.9 percent above the five-year average.

Stockpiles typically rise from April until early November, when

cold weather sends demand higher.
