The Sans cotton review says: Futures
opened at 20a points decline closing steady az
l@D2 points decline from Saturdays closing
prices. The market to-day was what we have
had SO many times of late, an early decline fol-
lowed by partial reCovery, with very feverish
tone at all times. Liverpool declined, but par
TALLY recovered. That market and Lancashire
spinners seem to have reached the conclusion
that we have large surplus Of cotton which
they can have for whatever prices they choose
to pay for it. 'Mebby they can, and then egin
mebby they can't as the senior Vanderbilt
was wont to observe. The sequel will tell.
Crop movement was pretty full, but not ex-
cessive and soon after the second call a slight
improvement in values took place. 1t was said
that Broad street was buying but whether to
cover contracts, or with view to better prices,
was a mooted point respecting which no def
mite conclusion was reached. After last call,
the market was dull and fiat for time, but at
the close speculation was more spirited. Spot
cotton was 1-16c lower, with fair business"
