Sunday. Cables were about as expected.
The market wag -dull in the early trading
and business was chiefly of an evening
Sip nature. 6calper generally took the
short side because- they were Impressed
with bearish comment . concerning the
demand for spot cotton and "-the ctent
of offerings of new crop grades. At the
end of the first half-hour of ' business
prices--were - 6 to points under Satur
day's dose. V- -V-- . '
At a level 7 points down on all the
trading months, the 'market , : became
steady and started to react on buying,
wh'ch appeared to come mainly from
shorts. Absence of rains in Texas and
the forecast of fair weather all ever the
western half of . the toeM stimulated the
buying. The market made no great -display
of buying, however, and was held
down hy reports from spot people that
Texas ' was offering the new crop very
freely -at concession's. At noon prices
were 55 ' to J points under - - Saturday's
