The SUMS cotton review says: "The market
opened dull and soon declined slightly from the
absence of demand, although Liverpool was re-
ported dearer but receipts at the ports we're
pretty full, diScouraging speculation for rise
After the second call, however (when an ad-
vance in spot cotton was quoted), the early de-
cline was recovered. Stocks in this market are
much depressed by free exports. Speculation
was slow at the recovery; hardly any dealings
except in June and August. The close was
dull -
