Green & Co. S report on cotton futures says:
ut was sluggish sort of market, with little of
positive interest to suggest. few early bids
increased values point or two, ut were not
followed up by any orders of importance, and
discovering absence of demand, the local ele
ment jumped on the position. and succeeded in
forcing rates off some S1l0 points from the
highest given with tame tone during greater
portion of the season. After the supply had
been unloaded there was partial reaction. but
the close found matters generally slow. Port
receipts showed up a little full in comparison
with some of the current estimates for the
week, but as balance may be found in good
line of reports from Liverpool, especially
through private sources
