Georgia came in as a competitor of the early sellers of Texas, making a big splash with a very few bales. Liverpool sent European weather advices that might have served bullish correspondents in Texas. High ocean freight rates and the sold-up con dition of freight agents’ books again played a part in the day’s gossip. Profes sional crop reporters kepi the mills and the wires busy telling their principals I how bad the Texas crop condition is. i The spot markets continue toward lower ) levels, but contracts are still well below a parity.
