The Sans cotton review says: 1.-THE market
made slight but general advance, with Liver
pool coming stronger, movements of the crop
falling off, and stocks at the interior towns
much smaller than last year. There were few
Sellers and only a moderate demand was
CURED to cause the advance. Still it was seen
that constant stimuant is needed to maintain
values, and the bulls were careful not to over
load"
