The Suns cotton review saws: Futures
opened higher on a decided improvement in the
Liverpool market, but higher figures from there
were attributed to covering on contracts for the
christmas holidays, and leading bulls
placed little reliance upon it. In fact, some of
the outsiders took advantage of it TO close ac-
counts and get out. Then receipts at the ports
promised to exceed the estimates and the in
Uerlor movement proved to be large; an element
OF weakness that caused a slight decline from
tne opening figures, and the close was dull.
