slightly improved, then came a semi-panic, I'M
der which prices rapidly declined, closing
barely steady at l50ls points decline from
yesterdays final prices. The market though
| showing some firmness. was hundrum enough
till after l O'Clock. There was q slight advance
| but this was regarded as proceeding wholly
from covering OF contracts and the unwilling
ness Of some TO go home short Soon after
O'Clock the crop estimate was placed on the
bulletin, putting the total at $3.50, 900 bales;
then trouble began. Prices receded decorously
and rether slowly for the first 10 points, but
when outsiders got news some panic set in,
which caused quick drop of another 10 points
or more. The leading bears attacked the sum-
'Tner months with much vigor. The Cotton Ex-
change adjourned tnl Monday in a fever of ex-
element and apprehension. There was nothing
or Importance In the reports from other
markets. Spot was weak and unsettled"
