 Bond-Crop estimates are being reduced and a feeling prevails that cotton will command high prices this season.
 Jay-An unsettled tone prevailed throughout yesterdays market and prices drifted around in response to the orders as they appeared.
 Carpenter-If the storm fails to ma terialize there may be some liquidation by longs before the bureau. Any decline, however, will be only temporary.
 Hutton-We doubt if any decline of con- sequence will occur.
 Jenks Gwynne-We believe that with the passing of the present unfavorable weather conditions selling will be of l greater volume.
 c. I. Hudson-Advise sales only on very l hard spot.
 Standardization of severe storm | tended to promote a firm close yesterday. l The lateness of crop. danger of frost and l the nearness of the government report 1 tend to prevent extreme decline, while | lessening of peace hopes and the increas- ing movement initiate against advances. | Sales on sharp rallies or purchases on | breaks should be profitable.
