The Suns cotton review says: Cotton
futures were a little firmer in the morning hour
in response to stronger report from Liverpool,
but speculation was sluggish and prices
weakened. In the last hour, however, there
was renewed strength on small port receipts,
and a rapid reduction of stocks 10 southern
markets through free exports 1t was remarked
tina. the operation OF the certificate system, in
conjunction with our small stocks gave
strength to values. Cotton on spot was very
dull, no sales being reported. -"
