weather map showed light rains in the
eastern half OF the cotton belt and pri-

cepted as final proof that the storm was
no longer menacing the cotton region.
The market had no buying power and at
the end of the first half hour of business,
was Is to Is points down.
On the decline in the early trading
shorts were good buyers of covers and
this finally gave the market considerable
strength, the most active months recover
ing until they were unchanged to points
under Yesterdays close. This recovery
was not sustained as selling apparently
by buyers of yesterday started in and the
market sagged again, this time going
lower than ever. Late in the morning
the trading months were Il to IS points
under the closing level of yesterday. The
close was steady at a net loss of IS TO 10
points
