Green & Co.. in their report on cotton fu-
lures, say: "The frightened shorts having
about covered their entire line yesterday, the
market took a set back to-day. assisted by
the tameness OF Liverpool, and the chances OF
political crisis In England. Recently made
longs closed out. ventures were made on the
short side, and the market went Oh some t(gS
points but as some of the early sellers
wanted their cotton back, there was some
what steadier feeling at the close. IL Is al
best. however, holiday market, with all
hands more or less anxious to keep on the safe
SIDE"
