In Mississippi, the weather has been favorable during the week, on the whole, complaints coming from comparatively few places. Cotton Is opening fn«t, and Is be ing rapidly picked, which is resulting lu a fair movement. In Alabama. It Is claimed that the crop still shows deterioration, nnd rains have Interfered with picking nnd moving of the cron In some sections. The crop Is late, and farmers nre holding to a great extent, but the movement shows signs of lucrens- 0, ?hn Georgia crop Is also beginning to move more freely, although It In undoubt edly late. Farmers are marketing slowly. It would seem from our reports that tho farmers In Texns nnd In Mississippi nre not Inclined to hold, whereas Just the op posite may be said of the eastern belt. Everything points to n greatly Increased movement III the near future. The light movement thus far this season seems to l»e due to the lateness of the crop nnd the disposition of farmers to hold In the cotton region east of the Mississippi more than to anything else.—Ware k Lelnnd.
