Greene 81 Co.'s cotton future report says:
ut has been an active, feyerlsh and excited
day. remarkable for the frequency and
sharpness of the fluctuations, the price often
changing 50D6 points in less than rs many
minutes. On the whole, the tendency was
downward, though q decline OF 100 points
was partly reduced, leaving final rates 1(gS
points under last evening, and the tone about
steady. While Liverpool gained somewhat,
the Improvement was somewhat less than
anticipated, and this, with the interior
movement slightly exceeding estim ates,
created a desire to secure profits, and free
realizing from many quarters brought de-
pressing weight Of supplies. Offerings, how
ever, seemed to meet good waiting de-
mand."
