Hubbard Price & Co.. in their cotton circular
to-day. say: "On the failure of the Liverpool
market to respond to the firmer tone prevalent
here yesterday, prices for contracts opened at
a decline of from to points, but this was
quickly recovered and futures have shown a de-
cided resistance TO any decline, and as the day
wore on considerable strength was displayed
and the close was within a fraction of last
night prices. Receipts at both ports and in
terror towns for the week are rather under
even the most conservative estimates, and bears
show marked disposition TO protect their out
standing contracts pending the resumption OF
the heavy movement recorded last week"
