Th** simple fact --r Ho* matt* that the crop Is doing very well atul Is re ceiving so much moisture thnt drouth, the only development to be feared nt this sen- s«n. Is very far nwny. It Is now the time jvhen Southern marketers of cotton begin to hedge their cotton with sale futures, and It Is difficult to see liow the market ran stand this selling at 10c a pound. It looks very much aa though there was too much cotton In prospect to en courage buying, ami either one of two thing* must hnppen.
