The SHn's cotton review SAYS: Future
declined two or three points, and so remained
throughout the day, closing dull. IL is again
today short story with cotton. The early
decline was due 20 a weak account from Liver
pool, where the bulls are evidently discouraged
by the large movement of our crop and bettar
weather at the south. But it was noticed that
as the price for August delivery approached &c
buying was quite equal to selling. There were
enough buying orde $ at &c to prevent that
price being ale, and Q Ole was the lowest
hgure the new crop was neglected aud
generaly speculation lacked spirit. Spot cot
ton was quiet and 1-l6c lower"
