The SGaS review of todays cotton market
is as follows Cotton futures opened buoyant
on much stronger report from Liverpool, with
reduced stocks at the ports, New Orleans
weakening on Friday a very small figure, but
when May reached 10 l0c leading broker for
the bears began free selling, and there was
quick decline to 10 Csc, and the whole range de
clined. Interest on March options wholly sub
sided aud distant deliveries showed most
strength. Receipts at ports for the coming
week promise to be from 5000 to 10000 bales,
Galveston's arrivals being swollen by free ship
ments from Houston. Cotton on spot was quiet
and unchanged; middling l0lSc, Cuffs 10I4c;
receipts at the ports this day $500 bales. The
