The Suns cotton review says: Futures
opened steady and further improved presently
declined, closing easy at 1 point decline from
Saturdays closing prices. Liverpool took our
market quite by surprise this morning in re-
porting an advance OF 1-64d or 2-64d. and
more active spot market. We responded to It
in a moderate way, and for a time the deal
showed much strength, notwithstanding
pointers as to large port receipts for the day
But after the last call the market weakened.
Orders to sell were received from the south
Washington, and it was speedily rumored that
the report will come tomorrow from the De-
partment of Agriculture making an estimate
that the quantity of cotton remaining on the
plantations is much greater than one year ago
Under this influence the early advance was
lost. Large interior receipts especially Mem
phis, contributed to the depression. All de,
ponds upon the markets for spot cotton, and
how they will be maintained, and reports from
the south are now scanned with unusual close
ness Spot cotton was dull
