be realized for the first time this
week, that should conditions become
at all general throughout the spin
ming world, that such a large crop
was thought absolutely necessary at
the beginning of the season, may
after all, not be required to satisfy
the spinners. Trading this week has
been much lighter than during the

ment is still inclined TO be bullish.
recent crop developments have dis
couraged bullish aggressiveness.
While those who are bullishly in
clined, still feel confident of their
position, they seem content for the
time being to await some further set
back to the crop before renewing
their efforts to force the market
higher. Much will repend, however,
upon how general and how heavy
the rains now falling in the belt
prove to be, and upon this will large
ly hinge the course of prices for
the immediate future.
