therefore. subsequently recovered, and the
market showed great activity.

ture. II was claimed that this buying was
for covering short interests which were
created before the boom in cotton com
menced other shorts covered freely. iar-
ties with Liverpool connections sold mod
erately early In the session, but later
they were buying cotton eagerly. The re-
action from the opening decline was ac-
celebrated bs indications OF smaller re-
