The Suns cotton review says: Cotton
futures were variable and somewhat irregular
early options being easier and later deliveries
stronger. The feature OF business was large
lidui ation of January options, sales for this
month amounting TO about one-haif OF the
business for the year. Exchanges OF early Tor
late months were large and the dlfferences De-
tween them widened somewhat. This e&chang-
ing is usually an element of weakness, for IL
continues long, but it gave the market a more
rational appearance than it has had IN some
months and the close was steady. Cotton on
spot was weak and unsettled, and high grades
could he bought below quotations. -
