II.—There wai only moderate trade at the opening of the local cotton market, mainly for pro fessional account. The weather map Indicated favorable condition In the belt generally, except In the vicinity of Macon and Montgomery, where there was too much rain. This checked sell ing and contributed to the steadiness that prevailed after the call, The professions! element still hits control of the cotton market. They hold possession through necessity; they, cannot turn lot and tin through necessity; they cannot turn loose and tno public absolutely refuses to come to their assistance. As n result business Is rery dull ‘with trade light. Fluctuations during the morning covered a range of some 2 to 4 points.
