THE local feeling being SO bearish. they
started to depress the market the 'prelim-
mary ginners' report. 1t sold of some few
points and rallied easily. but was very nervous
during the rest Of the session. The spot mar
ket in the South is again firm. with better
demand. AS there are many ways of figuring
the gtnners report 1t keeps the average trader
very much confused as to an opinion on the
market
While the proposed reduction in acreage
would indicate prospective smaller yield OF
cotton for next season, agreement of this
kind cannot be regarded indicative of final
resufte- For this reason the ginners' report
and the indicated large Yield for this season
EtI be the practical influence in the market
Eptnners and traders realize that there is an
enorraous quantity OF cotton now held back
Which eventually must be offered for sale. and
the knowledge naturally initiates against the
development of any bullish feeling Some
further decline IL not improbable. and we
