 kets owing largely, it is believed, to
 the buy-a-bale movement and holding of | cotton in the interior by growers. Soms five or six of the southern markets arc
 now publishing daily spot quotations, but these markets are generally considered | as refiecting purely immediate condi- | tions in the various localities and as con sequently affording little basis for for ward business. Trading, therefore, has continued along hand-to-mouth lines, and there has been continued agitation for | an early reopening of the exchanges in order to fix Q price for future delivery
 and afford hedging facilities at an estabr | lished level of values. | Every effort is evidently being made l to clear up the remaining interest in old contracts here. and prepare for an early
 resumption of business, and it was stated | by prominent member of the exchange 1 today that when the market is reopened l it will be under the provisions of the
 new contract as created by recent leg. l islation.
 | committee is drawing up new rules and bylaws to meet the new conditions The liquidation of the straddle interest
 under the plan has proceeded slowly, re- sulting so far in sales of about 1700 bales
 and 1t is reported that a syndicate plan | is being formulated which may result
 In taking over the entire remaining in.
 terest fin a block, and thus hasten the
 reopening of the exchange. Crop advices have been generally ia. vorable and there has been little modifi.
 cation of estimates since the last gov.
 ernment bureau.
