&. l.. Green h Co.'S report on cotton fu-
lures says: ut was a hesitating, nervous mar-
ket throughout with neither side aggr essive,
and general tie ndency to seek safety. The
bulls unloaded because they could see no en-
couragement In longer delay, and great
many bears covered through the simple be-
lief that the very excess of the depression
prevailing indicated that the downward tend
ency must be nearing its end. Absolutely
nothing OF character tocounteract the weak
feeling was introduced, however, and the an
nounCement OF the failure of a prominent
bull concern just before the close brought
business almost TO q stand and wound the
market M in a very uncertain condition"
