Inc cotton market during the major
part OF h week just closed was dis

tically all 1t had lost when the off

market having gone through Il state Of
liquidation for several DAYS, when there
was more attention to certain beaTish
features than for some time, was in'
good shape technically for the upturn

as low as 32.95c OF Friday, the lowest
level In some time, and the close was

predictions of Accent cotton, as the
official statisticians calculate that the
indicated yield is IL. ole, 900 bales, or
only 10000 greater than was Indicated
month previous. The statement ac-
campaigning the report said that the
chiet reason for the sharp loss in con-
dition was the activity of the boil wee
VII and the fact hat so much acreage
had been abandoned since June 25, this
latter feature being taken into account
IN reaching conclusions as to percent
age, although no effort was made to es-
innate the area abandoned. It was be-
ileVed by many in the trade that this
helped to explain why there was such
an unusual discrepancy between the Of
tlclal and the private guesses, for the
current idea has been that no account
be taken of acreage thrown out in fig
uring condition, that being left for later
calculation as to probable Yield. How
ever, 1t Is said that the official statls2
ticians usually allow for / per cent
abandonment in their figuring of indi-
Gated yield.
The loss during the month was 80
per cent, which compares with a ten
year average of AZ for July. Added
gravity to the crop outlook, from the
bullish standpoint, lay in the fact that
the crop is late and the period for wee
wi activity is just at hand in many
sections, while there is nothing to check
MIN elsewhere. August is as a rule a
crucial period for the crop, and one
result of the report is that chances of
Detterment are minimized by the low
condition.
Reactionary Period Dull. i
The market during it's reactionary pe-
ROO was commonplace and there
seemed a. general disposition to feel
that for the time being the hullish facI
tors had been pretty thoroughly dis
counted. The settling of the marine
workers strike, as well as that of the
coal miners, in Great Britain, while ia
Yorable in their tendency and poten-
