The Sua'S cotton review says: Cotton fu-
lures declined sharply under weak Liverpool
accounts. The decline at which the market
opened brought in stop orders, which precipi-
tated a still lower range of values Many lead
ing hu.lS also turned bears, and hammered the
market with much vigor The small crop move
ment caused at one time an effort to check the
Decline but with little success. Cotton on spot
was firm but quiet"
