The sans cotton review says: Cotton fu-
lures were dull, variable and unsettled, closing
without decided change Neither party showed
any confidence and business was not OF any
significance. The crop movement continues
small and the south needs rain. keeping bears
from selling and high prices keep bulls from
buying. Cotton on spot was more active for
homo consumption
