! The Suns cOHOn review says: Cotton
| futures opened one to three points lower. and
declined little further, owing TO the decline
| in LIVERPOOL and pretty good receipts at the
ports, but rallied when it was found that buyers
were more numerous than sellers, spite of
| the rather W Ak closing in Liverpool Receipts
at the ports We're 1000 bales larger than on this
/ dav last year, and dull and lover southern
markets. Buying here was reported good for
! long account, both from domestic and foreign
| sources, while shorts acted timidly aud were
| DISPOSED to cover. Cotton on spot was quiet"
