The suns cotton review says: Futures
made some advance at the opening on much
better report from Liverpool and greater move
ment of crop. but speculation lacked spirit.
The close, however, was q lite steady on the re-

and if the port receipts do not again increase
(Which is not at all likely further improve
ment is looked for"
