The cotton market yesterday was featureless and tbe feI erish anxiety which Is, usual for several days before the publication of the Goy- ernment report was followed today by com narative lis tlessness. While the condition given for the Tex IS crop was as low as could be expected for the other States it was more Favorable than was anticipated. It Is probable that inc future course of the market will de- pend largely upon the construction placed upon the bu esu by consumers.
