 SUNS COTTON REVIEW. | New York, Oct. 28.-The Suns cotton re- view says: Spot cotton here was unchanged. sales of 12OOO bales; futures there advanced to points. Futures here advanced to s points, lost the improvement and declined 2 to points, but rallied slightly, closing un- 1O0 bales.
 Influenced by bullish Liverpool news prices here advanced early in the day. Liy- erpool was higher. both for futures and spots. with better business doing on the ceipts at the ports and interior towns show ed a considerable falling off as compared with week ago..
 cipal towns were 9S. GOO bales, against IA, 000 bales last week and 9S,000 bales last year. But in the absence of local support prices lost the improvement and slowly declined. New Orleans sold here this faternoon, but the trading was in the main of a local char acter. Notices for about 35.000 bales were issued. but were quickly stopped. The worst feature of the market. however, was the duineSS or the speculation.
