The Swn's cotton review says: Futures
1884 20 s,O..S tsuNonce, cIusIug steaay az
| 9Dl2 points in advance from yesterdays
| closing prices. Liverpool came to the rescue of
| our bulls again to-day. 1t seemed to be gen
| orally conceded that the advance here and at
| New Orleans was due to buying orders from
| Liverpool, where overloaded bulls are said to
! be putting forth strenuous efforts TO make a
| market that will let them out whole. Some of
| our shorts were badly scared, and were brisk
| buyers to cover contracts. Dealings of 81 900
| bales in two hours reflected an unusually active
market. Weather reports from the south gen
| orally advise late planting season. Memphis,
Helena and Little Rock reported snow and
| sleet In Alabama bottom lands were generally
1 overfiowed Columbus. Miss, says the plant
| ing season is more backward than ever known,
| but Mobile says that greatly increased guam
| tlty of fertilizers will be used. 1t Is not i'm
| probable that the acreage may be reduced in
some sections to make place for more profit
| able crops. Spot cotton was 116c dearer''
