The cotton market opened steady, with
prices / point lower TO points higher
From the start speculation wa3 OF the
scalping order, and at no time during
the forepart Of the session did the trading
reach any semblance of old-time activity.
The bulk OF the small business done was
OF a local scalping order, and for the
winding up OF accounts by bulls and
bears, who feared TO take chances over
Sunday There were very few orders In
evidence from abroad or the South. The
Liverpool cables were about up to expec-
tations. rejecting slightly lower prices In
the future department, and no change In
spot cotton. Crop reports were favorable,
and weather conditions almost perfect.
