The Sans cotton review SAYS: Futures
opened lower, further declined. quickly rallied
aud further improved closing steady at 1a5
points advance from Wednesdays cloSina,
prices We had quite market to-day. not-
outstanding the absence of news from other
points. The European markets were closed
and the storm cut us from communication with
the south. Opening was weak and there was a
further decline, due, it is said, to the free issue
or notices for delivery ON January contracts,
and to the freedom with which these notices
were thrown upon the market, the latter fact
being ascribed to relatively high figures at
which quotations for lower grades of spot cot
ton were maintained. Subsequently notices for
January delivery were taken up; the crop
movement began TO show up conn aratiYelY
small; then came the demand TO cover con
tracts, causing not only recovery OF the early
decline, but some further advance, especially
for distant mouths. Spot cotton was dun"
