May, 1857; July, 1889; October, 1917;
December, 1877. The market opened
at a decline of l to points in re-
sponse to relatively easy Liverpool
cables, but further covering by near
month shorts and additional buying
of new crop deliveries for foreign ac-
count gave 1t a generally steady
undertone. Active months sold about
to 6 points net lower. with May de-
cEning to 1857 and october to 1917,
but the market was a few points up
from the lowest at the end Of the

the decline in Liverpool to hedge sell
ing and liquidation, but said there
was a fair spot demand and con-
siderable inquiry for cotton cloths.
