Very little speculative interest WIS
manifested on the Cotton Exchange. Inc
| first call developed q steady feeling, with
| first sales at unchanged prices 10 points
| lower the slight decline being due more
| to an absence OF buyers than TO pre-
| dominance Of sellers. After steadylhs 10
| last nights final figures, on light covering
| by shorts the market became speculative
| w fat, and for the rest OF the day eN-
| hibited no animation whatever. LAYER
pool cables were summed up as renectihg
n stupidity dull market Tor futures, WIN
| fluctuations too narrow TO be worthy or
| consideration. while crop ana WeaIner re-
norris were about at a stand-off. The rev
| orders that came 10 hand were IN nearly
all instances at limits prohibiting their
| execution The market closed quiet, with
Cotton futures opened steady at the de-
cline. August &.SS; September, S.g; DC
