The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1874-05-16

The tenor Of the Liverpool and New York dispatches
at the opening was not calculated to impart any i'm
pulse to the demand and although the 2:O7 p NJ tel
egram quoted &c higher for spots and ll60 for fu-
lures yet the movement cont nued sluggish through
ont the day ting in the limited sale, noted above
100 bales of which were taken by two parties.
In he absence of competition factors who wished to
clos. off particular lists were compel to off some
inducements to buyers and we heard OF small trans
actions in which they accepted lower OFFERS but in
other cases. especially with regard to clean and de-
srabe lists they continued stringent in their preten-
sions, in which they were confirmed by the closing
quotations at New York. No little surprise was ex-
cited by the Oh rleston dispatch giving 4555 bales
the day receipts at that port This was manifesty
excessive and required explain tion which was subse
quenty furnished by the information that the actual
receipts only 493 bales which the reporter had
improperly added g. either from omissions in pre-
vious receipts, or from baling in the city.
The steady falling of in the receipts compared
with last year. both at the delivery ports and IN the In
terror towns has sensiby confirmed short crop
views, while long crop apparently adhered to with
less confidence.
