Cotton futures opened stronger, reports from
Liverpool and stronger receipts at ports causing
fresh buyers to cover contracts, but notices of
delivery on March contracts came out very
very freely, encouraging bears to make an
attack on values, under which prices receded
10 points. Then it TRANSFERRED that Hentz &
Co were stopping March notices, this they did
to the extent OF 25, 900 bales for the day. when
there was a practical recovery, forced by
stronger or more active southern markets. But
in the last hour the market was dull dropping
