IO-dsys cotton market was exception
ally dull and destitute Of feature. Scarce
~ any orders were AT hand from outside
sources, and the local contingent, while
having the market almost entirely TO
themselves, scarcely had any disposition
TO make ventures. Opening dull at UNI
changed prices there was subsequently n
decline of 2a3 points, with no particular
reason to explain the weakness beyond
the fact that spectators furnished no
support and cables were disappointing
The movement OF cotton al the ports fell
below calculations, and the outlook as
TO interior receipts failed also TO Justify
the claims OF the bear element. AT the
same time, crop accounts were conflict
Ing The entire scope Of tO-day's market
was only a matter Of points, with the
feeling finally quiet al a net decline Of Ia
3 points. The government report, issued
this afternoon, made no marked impress
sion on the market.
