 The opening was strong at an advance of 1Q29 points in response to higher cables. covering of shorts, fresh buying for long account and reports of heavy rains in the southwest. There was very heavy realizing at the advance, how ever, the covering of Saturday had great ly reduced the short interest and the market eased off after the opening un- der scattered liquidation and selling for turn. After settling to within F to 13 points of Saturdays close there was d sharp rally on a private crop report placing the crop at Il, 10000 but offerings again increased and the close was at the lowest of the session There was very little indication of support from the bull leaders during the days trading.
 Receipts at the ports today, GS. .60l against 62,224 last week and 54.0st last year. For the week. S75,OO0 against 346051 last week, and 319,SS4 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, 15.697, against SS42 last year and al Houston. 19,256 bales against 1705T last year.

Ware o LeIand,s Market Letter.

Cotton was nervous today, Bears strug- gled hard to make headway against bull ish features which persisted in pling up but prices held their own well, even more or less selling by leading bulls failed to cause material reaction, and an ex- tremely bearish manifesto from Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton association, only provoked dersive laugh ter, even from the bears themselves Deep down In every speculators~ heart there turks fear of what may happen through the strong demand and a suspicion that after all the crop may have been dam aged to dangerous extent by storms and cold. Liverpool was wildly bullish. It was due about 15 up. but stood 27 up short iy before our opening. The only reason given for this in private cables was that buying was heavy and general. and thst there was no sellers. The weather map was unfavorable, but in spite of these two strongly bullish features the bears al- lowed rise of only 10 points on the opening.
 Later in the morning detailed weather reports showing excessive rains over Sun day in Texas and a forecast predicting great deal of rain over t'he belt tonight and tomorrow caused short covering. and December was sent to 1l.36, or 16 points above the level of yesterdays close.
 Above 11.90 for December short selling started again. and the prices was brought down into the 20s again.
 The weather over the western belt was bad over Sunday.
 Yesterday morning Galveston reported e.44 inches of rain and Houston reported 4.90 inches.
 Other points in Texas Reported excess sive rainfall and the report this morning showed continued heavy rain.
 Telegrams from Texas told of damage to open cotton.
 Spots were in good demand and moder- teenths.
 Liverpool good middlng. October de- livery. brought 8 on December.
