acted on futures which were about 20 points
lower than due. but quoted Spots higher.

silence on developments i'll the situation,

news and developments in cotton itself to
offset the influence of politics the mar
ket after an opening decline of to 10
points, rallied soon above Saturdays closing
figures. Principal among these equipments
was the change in weather conditions with
the map showing a further rain disturbance
going through the belt. They caused gen

over the belt today, except clearing in west
Texas. Temperatures are low over the
northeastern quarter and a cool wave is
likely 10 come the belt towards Thurs
day. Complains of too much rain are
creasing and there is fear Of cultivation
being retarded.
The government weekly report on Wednes-
day may be unfavorable on account of con-
tinued wet weather, and the census con-
sumption report on the same day is also
expected to show bullish items.
