The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1875-12-23


The market opened under the de-
pressing influence Of decline OF lied
at Liverpool. where the sales were 49,
600 bales, but with nothing In the New
York dispatches calculated to- have
much influence. Under these circum-
stances buyers claimed concessions
which factors were unwilling to grant,
and the sales during the morning hard
" exceeded 1000 bales, mostly ut pre-
vious quotations, but partly ut easier
rates. after which parties came together
more freely, and the business embraced
97oO bales, making total for the
day, as noted above, OF II 700.
Good staple kinds and some desirable
lists commanded steady prices. Other
descriptions were irregular and easier,
factors meeting the demand freely, and
in several cases accepting offers which
they had previously refused Buyers
complained that the assortment in
cluded I'm undue proportion N the me-
.dium and lower grades, which were
consequently much weaker than the
better qualities. The New York market
closed quiet and easy for futures ut u
decline of 1-16 3-32c, and custer for
spots, but with no quotablc falling oil.
