The Snt's cotton review says: Futures
were without decided change, fiuctuating not
more than one point all day Ellison's circular
Offset the decline at Liverpool The Financial
Chronicle has an article on the probable out
turn OF the current crop, which nearly sustained
the late bureau report, and points to an in
crease over last season of about 400. 00O bales.
Many operators think Liverpool shows signs of
WEAKNESS under the heavy load she Is carry
ing, while others look for rise after the holt
days. Cotton on spot was 1-16c dearer, and
more active for home consumption"
