The Sun's cotton review says: Futures
opened at o. points decline, closing quiet and
steady at a decline of points on near and 8
points on late months from yesterdays closing
prices. The weakness OF the market to-day
was due 10 the decline in Liverpool, the weak
ness of spot cotton here and at t1e south, aud
a & neral absence of speculative interest
though the business done was rather larger
than yesterday. 1t was said that cotton is
offered to arrive from southern markets at
much below current quotations Smaller re-
ceipts at some of the interior towns gave some
| appearance of strength to later dealings. bat
| caused no material advances. But no decided
movement in either direction can be looked for
! until after the holidays Next week and the
week after the Liverpool market will be closed
| for half Of each week. Spot cotton was dali
| and weak"
