report a satisfactory state Of trade, with
good demand for cotton.
We were also favored with the first of
a series of private reports estimating the
condition Of the crop ms we'll as the

crop Of less than eleven million bales
which is entirely inadequate to meet
world requirements taking into considera-
ton the depleted supplies. The market
action, however. WAS not very good
A moderate bulge was again met by
profit taking sales and this will probably
continue until technical conditions have
been improved.
Ultimately, We expect a higher level OF
values.
