say of cotton: This was the dullest
day the cotton market has seen for a
Iong time. Liverpool sent scant encour-
Ssgement for the bulls, yet during the
forenoon there was a show of frmness.
IN the afternoon il became apparent that
me movement for the week would be
much heavier than expected, and prices
welded somewhat but there was little
lradlng, and the extreme fluctuations were
within range of only points. May open
cd at 7.6Oc, rallied to 76Sc, declined to
t9gc and closed 1891 soc, with the tone
pUet and steady. The fact is that while
mere seems to be no inducement to buy,

quick turn. The danger of a squeeze
Is too manifest to everybody. and yet no
squeeze may occur, but the Feeling is
growing that the fall months, even at
the lower prices, are safer to sell"
