The trop- cal storm that has !»een careening around n the gulf finally decided to make sti * for the heart of the cotton belt via ... — Orleans, hut the trade viewed this with apathy. Considerable rain and probable damage to open cotton was reported over the belt, hut this stirred up very little bullish enthusiasm. A cold ware waa clear ly defined In the northwest, and waa at ent at last esme to the conclusion that the so-called "chronic bolls" were short of the market, nnd were refusing to take loasea on their shorts. Liverpool was bet ter than expected, owing to bidding by cal operators, according to private enl... grams, and this, together with the bad weather, caused n slightly higher opening, but after the Initial ffhrry prices showed •ciaeaiy lower. At no time tet have a good undertone, due tutor* or les* to Hhe fact demand waa decidedly less did the market have and this was that the spot . urgent than It has been, and some fae doubtful If this will stimulate spot hay ing. Buyers, ns n whole, have made np thHr minds that prices are too high by, their waiting Attitude.
