the call or covering. but after selling
up 10 I7.72 for December and 1888
for March prices eased off slightly
under realizing or liquidation, with
the market showing net losses OF
about 6 to 10 points at the end OF the
first half hour. Business was COM
paratively Nquiet. and the trade
seemed to be waiting for further
weather developments or more con-
elusive crop reports from the South.
A private report issued this morning
placed the condition at 65.S ana the
indicated crop at 14.S03 600 bales, but
the figures were without any apparent
effect on the market.
Another private report was issued
later in the morning estimating the
condition of the crop at 6S.S and the
indicated Weld at l5,50O.OUO Dales.
These figures, combined with a more
favorable weather outlook, held buying
In check, but offerings were light ana
