Some operators expressed the opinion that there may be somo further reaction pending tho report on the crop by the Government to bo Issued next week. Tho cotton market was very unsettled early. New York opened 9 to 14 points lower, while New Orleans was 8 points higher to 8 points lower on first sales, but later sold off sharply with Now York. Later both markets had a quick upturn on tho National Glnners" figure, suggesting n Government report of nbout 70.

Covering became more nctlve toward the middle of the morning. Tho effect of bearish Southern spot advices muv have been modified to some extent by tho ap pearance of New Oi leans bujlng orders nround the ring and the moderate volume of selling which appeared to originate In Southern sources.
