evident that we are to have a scalpers' mar
ket since traders are not disposed to follow
new crop months below 9.26. There is
some little disappointment in failure of new
bales to follow one another more rapidly.
1t is week since first two new bales have
been marketed, the fruit of which was not
of ordinary cotton but of stubble or volun-
teer kind and we have yet to receive the
first new bale of this years planted. The

increase in boil weevils. which are doing
