Suns cotton report: Cotton advanced l
70 points for near months, hut later re-
acted and declined 10 points; next crop
months opened unchanged % points
lower, closing 10 3 points lower. with
the tone easy Sales were lii20D bales.
TO-day's features: The summer months
showed an advancing tendency at first to-
day under the stimulus of active local
buying, as well as some purchasing for
European account. But Liverpool was dull
and easier. and the crop accounts were
favorable and those factors led TO liberal
liquidations. Rains where needed were re-
ported I'm Texas and the Mississippi VAL
ley. Out-Of-town holders were realizing
I'm the summer months. The receipts at
the ports were large while the exports on
the other hand were very small. Rumors
OF large sales for eNport failed 10 inuu-
ence the market, Spot cotton IN TINS
country was duh, and prices at some
southern points were easier.
