cal year up to May 20, s79,7S0.77, &C

Price changes were wide in cotton last

OF ITO to 1SS points.
The weekly weather report from the
Department OF Agriculture was unfa-

wet and abnormnlly cold weather at
the end of the week was damaging to
the crop. Crop news. however. had lit

wholly absorbed from the middle of

This week the market plainly must
be almost altogether under the inhu-

Next Wednesday, will end the Sep
TENDER condition period. which is the
final period of tho growing season.
