Green q Co.. in their report on cotton flu
lures, say: The market has been irregular,
the decline of points undergoing a partial
recovery, with some showing of steadluess at
the close. On the whole, however, the cur
rent feeling appeared to mainly favor the
bear side, and while quite number of con =
tracts have been put forward from January
there has also been considerable splitting out
well as the selling of of new short deals"
