Much better feeling prevailed in the
cotton market this morning and first
prices were to IS points higher,
It was found that spot markets had
not followed the decline in futures to
the extent expected, and tho technical
position was stronger, as result Of
recent heavy selling.
There was much rebuying today. sup
plementcd by a return Of trade buying
on an active scale and much smaller
offerings from commission houses.
The chief bearish factor was the
splendid weather map, showing further

points above the close of Saturday.
The receipts at the ports for the day
are estimated at 10000 bales, compared
with 1882 bales a week ago and 1915
bales a year ago
