Cotton opened quiet and steady today at a decline of one to two points. This showing was better than had been expected in view of the faorabla weather conditions and lower cables from Liverpool. Trading was not active at the start, but later offerings from outside sources Increased and prices sold oft to.a net loss of about Ave points. This has furthtr extended In later deal ings, the average decline being about 15 points by 3 o'clock. In the final dealings cotton Increased Its decline to about It points, but rallied a little at the cloe, the average being about II below yesterday's. Ye. Omen- ? ffrL Hks. ;nury . -js f .. .
