The Suns cotton review says: Futures
opened little hating, but the corner idea got
hold of the market, and options for May, June
and July became quite buoyant. August re-
sponded partially rising to 12c and winning a
large number of bets for bulls Next crop was
weak and neglected, although crop accounts
are by no means first rate. and the weather to-
day, though clear, was quite cool Bulls are
quite sure July options will bring 1890 on a
bulge Cotton on spot was fairly active for
home consumption, and prices advanced Lice. "
