speculative interest widespread and the stu.
alton generally favorable TO the staple The
opening this morning was quiet and firm,
with prices unchanged to 8 points higher on
good investment buying, covering by shorts
and active support from local bulls following
bad weather reports, rulnors that spot cotton
and manufactured goods were again higher
with offerings scarce ard smaller port re-
ceipts than expected.
Disappointing English cables, heavy selling
checked further bull progress after the call
and led to light liquidation. Liverpool sold
large blocks of August at 6.29. and New Or
leans unloaded several considerable lots of
the summer months at TIE opening figures.
