The premium on March increased to so points.

easier tone in the latter positions, owing TO
weakened technical conditions the result of
the recent covering movement. Trading became
quiet towards the second hour, showing holiday
effects. The very severe weather again over
the north Atlantic territory influenced feellng.
The cold wave passed eastward, and while
freezing tempera lures were established over the
nOrther nhalf Of the cotton belt, the southern
half escaped its force. Light precipitation was
general over the southern half of the belt. In

A large rain formation is coming over Texas
