On this condition of prices the market closed

New Orleans spots were quiet and easy
throughout the day, and closed without
change IN prices.
New Orleans futures opened and closed
dull, the last quotations Of values showing
but little change from those ruling at the
close Saturday evening.
Liverpool spots were easy, and prices ruled
as previously quoted.
Liverpool futures opened dull with the
price list Of Saturday ruling, from which no
change was made, and the market closed
fiat.
The local market was devoid OF anything
like Business, the limited demand, the dark
weather, and unsettled opinion as to values,
all conspiring to cause general disposition
to wait. Buyers did not want to buy, and |
sellers were not anxious to sell. A feature |
Of yesterdays reports is the addition to total |
receipts of the 103, 297 bales discovered by |
the National Cotton Exchange not TO have |
been embraced in the previous count of total |
receipts at all ports. The market was re-
ported steady at the opening and close

- PHILADELPHIA, January l6. President

an emphatic denial of the publication that Vice
President Cassatt, President Jeweut, of the Erie
road, and himself had, on Saturday, agreed that
commission OF three should consider settlement
of the trunk-linc and make advisory report.
1T is true he said " that negotiations have been
going on, andar now going on, between Cassatt
and the other wee presidents with the view Of
settling the of rates. President Roberts and
Mr.. Cassatt were in New York Saturday, ana had
few minutes conversation with President Jcweit,
of the Erie, but the ttunk-line differences were
only incidentally referee to, and nothing, what
ever, was said about any commission.
Toe presidents of the trunk lines met in New
York this morning, and il ID thought their difficult
ties are in n fair way Of adjustment.
