NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The Sums cotton review
says: Futures opened 500 points lower,
quickly recovered 506 points, presently de-
clined. further declined, partially recovered,
closing steady at about opening prices. Bulls
were called upon TO wade still more deeply in
the murky waters u adversely. The early de-
cline was not more than was expected-hardly
SO InuC0, IN TACT, ana some reduction in the
receipts at the ports and interior towns last
week doth falling before last year, led to buy
ing to cover contracts, which carried up May
contracts from &c TO 8 90. Then IL was said
that New Orleans estimated receipts there to-
morrow at q, 600 20 $1,000 bales, and the early
advance was soon lost. Calls for additional
margins we're not responded to in many cases.
and led to continued selling, which forced q
further decline and brought In stop orders
under which January sold down to a1c, or
more than &c below the highest figure In Octo-
Der. An active business was done in exchanging
the early for the late months, and IS points
we're paid between January and July. The de-
preston in January was said TO be due largely
TO the expiring OF certificates and the necessity
OF reinspection at some expense. Port receipts
for the current week were estimated $50 bales.
