Green & Co. in their report on cotton flu
lures saws: "Not much has come out OF to-
days market. Liverpool advces offered little
or no encouragement. Port receipts were
quite free, with Southern markets tame and
noticeable absence OF buying orders at all
points. Most of the business IL consequence
was LEGAL. and incluued enough long cotton
to break of rates some 4g5 points, a. which
the close was slow, though the decline seemed
to attract some attention from shorts. ana
some fair recovery took place during the
day"
