The Suns cotton review saws: 'Cotton
futures opened 304 points off. Liverpool dis
appointed our bulls, showing some decline in
stead of the advance that was expected and
Bombay figures were large. Then came some
advance, the effect of some manipulation in
winding up Dec ,mber contracts. The chief
party IN interest very magnanimously accepted
March options in lieu of Dec .Blber. This infu-
ence ended, prices soon receded to about lowest
figures of the day From no other cause APP
parently, than that some of the bulls are get
ting tired and are inclined to unload, December
contracts brought as high as 10 1Sc, and closed
at 10 lac. Cotton on spot was dull

shade above Saturdays closing prices being
advanced about &c, then declined &c ruled
