Cottonseed Oil Futures.-The mar
ket for cottonseed oil contracts con-
tinued in the same lifeless position
that has existed for months, and there
seems to be little probability OF much
improvement. as it is believed that
present trading restrictions will re-
main in force. At the same time the
outlook for large yield next season
may have tendency to change the
complexion of things somewhat. al
though efforts in that direction have so
far been unavailing.
