After selling off a few points there was enough covering to steady prices a little. Pit traders regard the uinntet ns considerably oversold. Sen timent on the whole, however, very bearish.

The weather 1 map was considered favorable, with no rail of cotiacqueneo being reported, while tein pemturea were seasonable. Hontlmeut wai bearish, but many favor a sbnrp upward faction from these levels. There Is a disposition among spot people to hold off purchases, and It Is believed that not over I 100.000 bales have been sold to date, where hist year at this time three or four times that amount had been sold. Later prices began to rally, and the near options re covered nltotif 20 points, selling considerably above the close of Inst night. This Is the fust substantial rally the mnrket has pcrleoccd for some days, and with sue suld out condition confronting the market «*e look for a further substantial rally. 'Vo think, however.
