The sans cotton review says: Futures
opened slightly lower, rec oyered early decline
then became quite buoyant, closing firm at COZ
points off, in sympathy with the decline at
Liverpool; but it soon became apparent that
our Cotton Exchange had pretty well dis
counted yesterday the decline at Liverpool this
morning, and sellers were very scarce. The
| downward tendency of values was, therefore,
soon checked. The sellers of last evening and
| this morning found this out ven they at
tempted to get back their cotton, The market
rose on them just easy as could be. Nothing
seemed TO favor the bulls-not the foreign ad-
vices, not the state OF trade, not the statistical
position, not the weather south--yet prices ad-
vanced just as they have declined when every
thing seemed to be against the bears This
takes us back to an old truism: You can't
win unless you bet, and then you are apt to
lose Futures at New Orleans advanced and
It was said that there were buying orders from
that city. Spot cotton was very dull"
