The Suns cotton review says: Futures
opened at SOD, points decline, closing barely
steady. at partially point decline from yester-
days closing market. The market was fever
ishly variable, nervous in temper, and uncertain
in it's action. The bulls at times showed con-
siderable courage then they would do nothing.
To illustrate: A broker came on change and
offered May at 21c; nobody would buy; but in
less than two minutes he took the same option
at 23c. The early decline was due to weak
Liverpool report; quick rally followed on a de-
mand to cover contracts, and some further inn
provement was the effect of comparatively
light crop movement foreshadowed for the day.
In the last half hour there was renewed dull
ness and depression, and not much of market
anyway. Spot cotton was quiet
