The cotton review of the sun says: Futures
were 4 to points higher, owing TO excessive
rains at the south, excessive shedding of bolls
In South Carolina, and the tendency towards
drought in Texas, together with better de-
mand from the shorts. There were no Liver
| pool advices, there still being holiday there.
New Orleans was higher. Cotton on spot was
