To-day's features: Such burst or actly
| ity as attended the opening In cotton thl
| morning has not been witnessed for som
| months past. Everybody wanted 10 puy
and prices advanced rapidly. the teelinl
was decidedly bulllsh. Scores of damag
reports had been received over Sunday
and New Orleans sent buying orders. A
the advance many operators took proinit !.
| and German houses also sold heavily; III, n II
| Improvement was lost, and a sharp dechn
| followed.
The Weather Bureau reported good rain
| I'm sections of the South during the pas
forty-eisht hours, and though they wer
| by no means general. yet they cause
many to sell. The heaviest rainfall wa
| i'm Georgia and South Carolina, while Il
| the sections where moisture was mos
badly needed the precipitation was Yer
| light; In fact, Texas was as dry and no
as ever. But damage reports continued I
| be received, and though many pelleve
they were grossly exaggerated, tney ~
duced renewed buying for New oriean
| and local account. and prices rallied an
| recovered most OF the loss
| Spot cotton here was more active, an
| the southern spot markets were steadS
and higher In some cases. Many operator
| believe that the crop Is in q critical condl
! ton, and that good general rains must D
had soon TO maintain the recent excellen
| crop prospects.
