The average maximum and minimum tem peratures over the cotton belt during the twenty-four hours ended at 8 o'clock this morning were 88 to *9 degrees. Even sap py cotton plants ought to do well with such temperatures. As the season grows older, complaints from the belt will undoubtedly Increase, ns farmers find cotton on their hands to market. The complaint they send in will be welcomed by many onei and will Increase the interest In the side and will make the market less of a one-sided affair. At the momeut, stronj nnd experienced operators In New YorL nre working for higher prices, which, of course, Is an argument for the purchase of cotton.
