PRICES AND SALES OF STOCKS NEW YORK


The New York Tribune, of this morning, says
The tone Stock has undergone but little
change since yesterday. Prices yield slowly notwith
standing the palpable dizziness and lack speculative
vigor and although the tendency of such condition nj
business is to drag the market down under the weight
inactivity, it is neutrazed to certain by the
abundant supply of money. Hence, with very slug
gsh feeling, and no business in speculative outside
of the Stock Exchange and its immediate connections
there is pressure of stocks for sale, no decline
corresponding to the falling off in transactions. This
very unsatisfactory feeling among stock opera
tors-the business owing much of its vitality rapid
elasticity in the quotations, render money making
losing Cd the part of either bulls or bears matter OIL
difficulty
The money market tends steadily greater abundance
and ease, and the difficulties of employment increase
the of confidence in commercial paper increases
und there is not only better currency to good and fail
not in the 'fre proof'' list but lower
The change in tone within day has been quite
perceptibe. We quote Prime s1ty-day Endorsed bills
6 per cent; good siXtyday Endorsed bills, per
best 36 months Endorsed bills cay per cent best sin
gle names, 7G9 per cent; fair single names, 969l2
per cent On CALL the range is from to per cent
is difcult TO employ sums of any magnitude at
thing above s. and the banking houses OF good standing
have no dlncuty in supplying their wants at this figure
The following remarks on the movements of cotton We
take from Messrs Neil Bros circular.
Crop.-The reduction in crop estimates caused by the
sudden falling off in receipts is confirmed by weeks
later deliveries. The change in public opinion has be
come universal on this side 1t has been difficult to be
eve that the present crop would fall far short of the
land planted, besides which allowance had to bt
made for the natural tendency to underestimate. Blu
our adYlceS from nearly every part OF the country
that the crop has been hurried to during pas
two months under the fear of trouble with the Ad
ministraton, and that there is very little Cotton
naming TO come forward.
The falling off compared with last year has been
! third hill lands and one-fourth bottom lands
which is attributed to damage by drought during
and also to the shorness Of the picking The
total decrease by telegraph 900 bales
and will reach 900 COO by the end of April It is there
fore not surprising that estimates should fake low
range At New Orleans the general opinion has beer
reduced to 100000 bales but if the full balance of thu
crop to market, this figure will prove too low
though do not look for the total exceeding $500
bales
DYE GOODS AUCTION SALEs.-Messrs Haggerty & Co
