The Suns cotton review says: Futures
opened little sluggish, but the hardening of
| the Liverpool market caused an advance Of 20l3
points. Then came the report of the overland
| movement for Fee 1ruary showing a great excess
over February, 1885, and bringing the outturn
of the crop to within about 81, 900 bales Of last
season. Active selling followed, under which
| more distant options declined or points from
| tn best prices of the morning. May deliveries
fell quickly from 10 1Sc to l011c. There was
some disposition to increase crop estimates,
| although interior receipts were quite small. The
close was at some recovery
