{. Mum. Son & Co. say of cotton: The
orening was weak at to points decline on
lower cables, ensed off points further under
liquidation, but recovered and closed at about
the opening prices on some buying by Liver
pool Prices are undoubtedly low, consider
ing the increase in consumption, and on the
Isis OF present and prospective supply and
demand they are entitled to an advance; but
the waiting policy OF both sides, owing to the
absence Of definite Information regarding the
new crop the favorable weather and liberal
re, eipts. will probably send prices a little
lower, but we believe the bull side to be the
safest In the long run, and we advise pur-
chases on any further decline.
