The cotton market had a severe slump yes

The decline is attributed 10 the closing

Liverpool was due to be about 4.6iths higher
yesterday morning, and at the opening sales
were made at TO higher but large sell

accumulated considerable spot cotton and are
hedging by sales OF futures, caused "a decl ne
of to 6-64ths from the top the close be-
