The Sans cotton review says: Futures
opened at 1919 points advance. presently de-
clined, closing steady at 1904 points advance
from Saturdays closing prices. Liverpool
took our market quite by surprise this morn
ing, reporting an advance averaging 6-64d.
Bears climbed for their cotton with activity
and spirit that has seldom been exceeded The
scare about the crop which the bulls have been
fostering for some time took shape in a letter
enarging upon the bad weather at the south,
lateness of the planting season, high price Of
corn, and predicting that the acreage for the
next crop will be greatly reduced. Although
the scare was about the next crop, the greatest
advance was in this, because in il crop specula-
ton is most active and short interest was
greatest. Highest prices were made early in
the day, from which, although dealings were
active, prices made an irregular decline. Spot
cotton was 40 lower and moderately active
