business done on the opening. The mar
ket ruled very steady after the selling
that occurred yesterday afternoon on the
close 1t is our opinion that the boil
weevil talk and the fact that the cotton
crop is actually late is offsetting to a
great extent the good weather map that
was posted this morning. ThereS seems to
be less desire TO- sell and II is noticeable
that the trade are beginning TO put in
limited orderg to buy the new crop months
on every dip. The market has ruled rather
steady in view OF the very bearish feel
ing that exists on the floor and through
out the trade. II II our opinion that these
declines Will only be temporary and will
ford a good opportunity to buy cotton.
