The Posts cotton report SAYS: Future de-
llYeries az the first call showed a slight de-
cline, but were at the second call 6- lO017- lOOc
dearer Tor the near months than yesterdays
closing, and 4-lOOc higher for the more distant
months. They advanced subsequently 4-IOO0
S-lOOc, lost again 5-l00d4- loco, and sold at the
third call as follows: December 10 Sc Janu-
airy 10 Csc, February 10 7O0l0 7lc. March 10 soc.
May II O5c. and July II 29c. The advance, be-
side a continued demand for covering is also
TO be accounted for by the continued prOdI-
glous exports from Southern ports; since last
Friday the shipments already amounted yes
terday to l6641S bales, against Y, 423 bales last
year. and stocks at all the ports are thereby
reduced to $4,000 bales, against I.Cl5,754 bales
last year. Futures closed steady, with De-
cemDer and January 5-lOO.g6-lO0c and the bal
ance z-lOOg3- lO0c higher than yesterday"
