Green & Co.. In their report cotton fu -
| lures says: Business was local In character,
and consisted in the main of an effort to even
up for the close of the week. Longs were
either more plenty or most anxious, and the
excess of contract offerings were sufficient to
carry rates up some 4(95 points, with little
| showing OF steadiness at the close, but not
much demand from the South. Reports were
| slow and without much feature, except Il
| trifie more pressure to realize was shown at
one or two points, and abroad there appeared
to be nothing very encouraging"
