G. l.. Green n Co.'S report on cotton flu
lures say; AFTER unusually numerous tiuc-
tuatiOns, 709lC points at time, the close is
firm at 5(96 points above Saturday evening.
A decidedly feverish tone prevails through
out, and the perpleXities OF operators have
changed them about from one side to the
other until the complications are too great
for any clear calculation, and the indications
are extremely doubtful. 1t is, however,
noticeable that beyond covering the demand
comes principally from outside sources"
