few points, but the sensat ionally light est
mate for to-morrow's receipts at Houston call
ing for only about 400 to 900 bales, against
over 5000 bales last year, restricted aggressive
selling. and the general undertone of the mar
ket was firm. Trading here was fairly active
on the advance and wire houses had few or.
ders, tho most of the transactions appeared tt
be for professional or trade account.
