Severe storms make their appearance
in (he Southwest early in the week ano
cold weather with rain or snow his been
prevalent since Monday , all over thi
South. This led to an expectation ol
very light receipts for the week and tbt
market wai held very steady in conse-1
fpience, until Thursday. One noticeable
feature had been the abwnce if specu's
live activity. Butersjud either exhaust
ed their purchasing; power or were scepti
cal regarding "the movement of cotton,
the receipts were of moderate volume,
but the total for tbe week equals those
tor the corresponding period last year. -The
fear' that the movement would
expand ngaia with. the return ot favorable
weatlierajr toew holders to sellacd
this pre-ssgre vihldh" xtended fell upon a
market' poody , supported resulting in
material, weakness .during the past few
days. ; Io a nutshell, the weight ol cotton
constantly marketed Baa proved a burden
oo heavy for holders to bear. Home have
told because discouraged tod tome bare
old because of exhaustion of margins. The
decline for ht wetit It 88 to 89 points,
