cotton: The largest business OF the season Is
now being done In spot cotton at higher prices
than have before been realized. The selling
has been from all quarters OF the belt. a
great many let's that we're held have come out
and reports from scores OF interior towns say
when cotton now sold Is shipped, nothing
will be left. Liverpool was on q high horse
again this morning, advancing futures nj one
time S-64ths on large cotton failure 10 Am

tracts out OF the way, however, rapid de-
cline was seen on large realizing. In Ameri.
