Green n Co.. in their report on cotton flu
lures, say: Business has been conducted as
| If all hands we're more or less apprehensive,
! and very irregular tone prevailed. Gen
| orally, however. the tendency was toward an
easier position, and after several fluctuations
| final rates were 405 points under last even
| ing, with the tone only about steady.
southern markets were slow and little
| tame, port receipts full, and interior towns
went in excess OF estimates. Liverpool, too,
| was weak and Disappointing. while the con-
| tinued unfavorabe condition Of sterling eX-
change seriously impedes the action OF eX-
pOrters and has led to the cancellation of
| many pending negotiations, some indication
| OF d desire to sell long cotton could be noted,
but it did not reach the point of action"
