total than suggested by the last returns.
There are reports OF Texas. Of gins still
handling a few bales here and there, mostly
cotton that was held In the seed. Although opin-
Ion is largely bearish. there Is no aggressive
pressrfre just yet as better strike news is ex-
pected from England this week. which the bull
forces may follow up with a demonstration Of
power. with the exception Of Georgia and the
Carolinas. where heavier rains occurred yester-
day weather conditions over Sunday were fav
orable. The map this morning shows no pre-
cipitati0ns OF consequence west Of Mississippi.
Indications are for unsettled weather generally.
