The market open ed a trifle better but the undertone was Tery good. 4 Thf weather In the k Sontk was entirely too. cool, a temperature, of 00 degrees being reported at many sta. Uonf. The Texas crop It not doing well and there Is the best reason tor believing that the damage by boU weevil Is not yet clearly realised by the general trade. In fact there Is no dodbt whatever" that Texas cannot make' a" remarkable , crop this season. ; Furthermore . the prop , Is so late that anything Uke an early frost would send prices skyward. People are appreciating this fact and fear to sell. It would require but little to . bring f about a panto In the bear ranks and this could be done without ; the tllghtesf effort, since receipts are so very smalL and will probably keep to until the close of Oc tober at least. There It little doubt what ever that the September movement will fall below 650,000 balet as compared with 1,10,000 last: September, nobody will care to sell cotton before the frost period at least. A raid on the market led. to a sharp decUna daring, the-morning es pecially In September which lost 88 points and then recovered 15.
