Hubbard. Price & Co.. in their cotton circular
to-day, say: The cotton market to-day has
lacked the snap and activity of Saturday
Liverpool advicts, showing advance of to
points iE futures, were in strumental in lifting
prices here some 3 to points al the opening
but this quickly lost under the influence of
realizing sales to take profits and short interest
being apparently well covered, the market
seemed to be without any fulcrum upon which
10 apply the leverage which bulls would like to
exert"
