The Sans cotton review says: Futures
opened at pretty smart advance. Liverpool
came unexpectedly strong. Then came the
announcement of the closing of that market
tide holidays, aud it was seen that the improve
ment in futures there probably due to a
demand TO cover contracts over these holidays
Hence there was with us a good deal of selling
to realize, under which most of the early ad-
vance was lost. August was the only active
month. Weather reports from the south con-
tlnue very favorable, and next crop was neg
lected, though showing no decided weakness.
Cotton on spot was dull and prices were barely
maintained"
