Opened nat in Liverpool, with q decline
Of lis. This was sufficient to knock the
black out Of American markets, and the
later dispatches gave small encouragement
TO holders. but that Il had been done.
New York spots were down LIS again;
New Orleans q on grades b low Low Mid
ding, with an irregular tone, while the
port receipts we're sufficiently heavy to
cast 4 blue aspect over every hope OF a
short crop which the most Jealous ana
persistent readers OF the Bureau reports
have been able TO muster.
Locally, however, we have little to re-
port, Buyers and sellers are wide apart,
The mot bloody chasm being fully from
x mA difference In views. Sales OF
about 100 bales are reported, however,
but at q decline In some cases otN. The
quotations for the day are almost impOsal'
sible TO give, buyers and sellers being 90
wide apart in their Views. We quote 4
