The SUMS cotton review says: Futures
were dull and dropping under weak foreign ad-
vices and pretty full crop movement, together
with SO apprehension that the strike at Fall
River will be indefinitely prolonged In fact
the bulls had apparently not peg left, except
small visible supply of American cotton, and
even this disparity may be rem we'd by pro-
Ionged smaller takings by American spinners.
The close was steady on rapid reduction of
stocks at the interior towns
