NEW YORK, Dec. 2a-The Suns cotton review
says: Futures opened dull and weak. quickly
advanced 405 points, then became quiet, pres
emily declined closing dull at about last nights
prices. The early advance was due to the de-
mand to cover contracts over the approaching
holidays, many bears not caring to leave open
contracts behind them at current low prices:
But business became dull when this demand
was met and IN the last half hour most of the
early advance was lost from pure inanition.
The interior movement continued 20 show
marked falling OF The aggregate at the big
four towns was only II, 100 bales against Is, 100
bales last year. Spot cotton was dull"
