The Suns cotton review says: Futures
were quite depressed. Liverpool was firm.
Inc movement of the crop was large, and the
scare about the damage by frost pretty effec-
tually dispelled; nevertheless, there has been
frost IN many places, and it has done damaSe;
frost in the coming week. The corner on OctO-
Der contracts collapsed, and many are begin
ming to look for another twist in November op-
lions. Cotton on spot was dull"
