ed all the loss during the current
week and established a new high rec
ord for the season as the week
closed at 21.03. or 221 points, above
the close of the preceding Saturday.
The sharp upturn of the week was
due mainly to alarm over the many
reports of the spread and activity of
the boil weevil. The initial improve
ment came with reports of rapid de-
terioration in Texas. from which
State the reports had until quite re-
Gently been favorable. Later there
We're many reports of serious weevil
damage in the southern half of the
central and eastern portions of the
belt. This fear of weevil activity
was added to by the daily showers
reported from the Eastern and Cen
trail belts.
The final squirt to the market be-
gan Friday. when it was announced
that the Government would release
another boil weevil report Saturday
morning, and prices advanced prac-
tically 70 points on that day.
