Liverpool just about met the local decline of Saturday, and loss the of 7 to market 10 here points opened under over-Sunday selling orders. There was quite a good deal of demand during the early trading.
In addition to covering or profit taking, there active buying by with Liverpool connections which were to be undoing straddles. The gossip was that these straddles had supposed been put out when New York was selling about 80 points under Liverpool and that the buying here this morning represented realizing at the difference of around 115 points.

Covering caused occasional slight bulges which met increased offerings and the market reached the low level of the day in late trading when active months sold 18 to 21 points lower. It rumored after the close that the was of the large long lines had been completed during the day's tradliquidation ing while there appeared to be more or less dispute as to whether the Southern selling had been all in the way of long liquidation or partly against spot supplies held in the interior.

Some long cotton was thrown overboard, but a good part of the selling was for short account. The opening was steady at a decline of 5 to 9 points on liquidation from the long side. Cables were about as due and a private messages from Liverpool were decidedly bullish in their tone. Brokers had a good volume of selling orders to fill, however, and it weighed against values.
