Receipts were light yesterday. as they in- vAriabiy are on Monday the first business day of the week being an off day" in the Montgomery market.
 At the beginning of business yesterday morning there was some cotton on Court Square and buyers offered 1o%e rather freely Later in the morning the market eased off to 10 1-16c. and later still nothing better than 10 cents was offered. This was in response to easing off of the future markets. which opened >295 points lower than Saturdays close and ruled still lower. aropping away from 10 10 points lower than the opening prices

 The conclusion is irresistible that either the movement of growers to hold their cot ton from the market is bearing fruit or that there fs not near so much cotton to he marketed. In either case the situation must ultimately rebound to the credit of the man who has cotton to sell
 Whether the f1-cent propaganda will re- suit successfully or not depends as much on crop conditions the fidelity of the farmers One may not escape the convic- ffon that small farmers who came to Mont gomery have 10 cents in their mind and many of them are willing to let their prod- uct go at that figure.
 The stock on hand in Montxomery speaks of q determination to hold cotton at home. The stock at present Is 2.00o bales short of the stock at this time last year. The two Montgomery congresses are running full time. but shippers declare that the staple Is not moving as rapidly as they had hoped. An extra number of workmen has been recently engaged and this situa- ton may be relieved soon.
