ket opened quiet and steady, with prices
i point higher to points lower, and sank
) to q points further under quite active
selling OF long cotton, pressure from Tue
bear side and disappointing late cables
from the English markets. The weaker
ruling OF sentiment was intensified by
very hopeful weather reports from me
Atlantic States, where complaints OF
drought have been appearing recently.
The depression was short-liVed, now

connections Toward midday, however,
another weak spot came TO light, ana
with good weather predictions as mo,
tive early buyers hastily unloaueC, ana
short selling became something OF a !ea-
ture. During the greater part of the bal
ance of the day the market was almost
liteless, and pendulauons favored nellher
faction specially. The crop reports We're
mixed to such a degree that lew tradefs
cared to come out openly on the pull OF
bear side while public spectators posi-
lively refused TO venture into tne mar
China situation increased the uncertainty
all around The spot markets OF TINS
country and Europe held reasohaplE liIlli
on light receipts, but We're destitute OF
tnarket broke under liquidation. At the
close the market ruled steady in tone,
with prices net TO points lower.
