Active Feature in Futures and

Spot cotton trading was without any
notcw orthy change yesterday, but the pre-
yailing sentiment is strongly bearsh, The
mo, oment Of cotton to market continues
to be very heavy and recent favorable crop
reports from different sections OF the belt
are more than likely TO bring out con
Siderable amount OF held cotton, which
would have very depressing effect on an
already weak market.
Special feature of transactions In futures
was the continued manipulation OF the
July option in the New York market Tor
while preceding the close. Liveipool
contracts did not reach as low as expected,
the close showing II loss of only lIa-ti 10
2-64d. whereas another point lower would
have caused no surprise. IN New YORK
opening prices were slightly lower. soon
after a spirited attack an the near months
was started by the bears. causing Il weak
ness for some time: later the market re-
sponded to the July manipulation aud a

tracts closing to 10 M on the near
months and / to ? up on distant months.
