The New OrleIr Times-Democlat SAYS:
The attitude OF tine bulls. as well as the
bears. seems TO be more one of eXpecta-
ton than of action, operators appearing
generally TO prefer to await further crop
Developments before moving on their
present basis. Although the showing of
cotton in sight appears heavy, and there
seems to be a greater desire to canvass the
situation abroad more closely, the ma
joIitv OF the crop estimates are gradually
narrowing, and consumption is progres =
ing actively at home as well rs abroad.
But taking a general view OF the situation,
the opinions with regard to the or ,p-, a.
well as the future OF prices, appear widely
divergent, even IN the same camp. In
tact, the market could be best described as
being on a sea-saw, with heavy siding
weights attached, ready to slip from one
end or the other, according TO ci.C um-
stances"
