weather map favorable, the cotton mar
ket opened steady today at a decline
of 5 points to an advance of IS points
with December selling around 81. Csc,
and January 1890 during the early
trading. General business continued
quiet, but there was scattered buying
on low private condition figures and
a more favorable view of the labor sit

Still another of the private crop re-
ports appeared later In the morning
making the condition 634, against 70.5
last month, but being within range OF
previous reports, had no special in
