DALLAS, March 27.-There has been q
steady decline in cotton futures during the
past week, which has brought With, u a
Slight falling off in spots. In New YORK
prices are sixteenth lower, in Galveston
an eighth and in New Orleans three-six-
teenths. IN bt. Louis the market is steady
and in Liverpool there is a decline OF SIX
tenth reported. The markets everywhere
are duh and weak. II present prices are
maintained IL is all the most sanguine an
ticpate. The consolidated receipts now
point to the largest crop ever grown in the
country, and some estimates place II at as
high as Z, 10000 bales. In thus city prices
are weak and a sixteenth lower. The trans
actions In grain un the Exchange during
the week have been comparatively light,
and in the absence of better receipts, both
By wagon and rail, will continue so. There
Is good demand for both corn and cats,
and orders for wheat are coming IN more
freely, but, as limit is nearly always hxed
when orders are made for all kinds Of grain,
dealers find 1t impossible to meet them.
There T. very little corn seen on the streets
above the demand by retail dealers, and oars
have almost ceased TO come in. Both are
taken freely al quotations. Not few iarm-
ers assert that there Is very little corn leit
in the country beyond the requirements OF
farmers Tor feed and seed. and m some To-
calIties there IL not enough saved for those
purposes In other districts, however, there
Il enough and TO spare, and from which re-
tail dealers will receive their supplies. A
few cars Of corn are being shipped here
from other points on the railroads, but with
lighter receipts dealers find II difficult 10
meet the demands made upon them from
the south and west, and from the pinerics
in the eastern portion Of the state. There
Is very little wheat offered on the streets,
and Il Il readily taken at full prices BY
millers. The market Is now well supplied
with millet seed. and az the season advances
holders are more anxious to dispose OF IT.
