FINANCE AND TRADE

The Clearinghouse statement shows a
marked falling off in business transacted
at the banks yesterday as compared with
the previous days of this week.
The dark, rainy, dreary weather was a
serious impeachment to the cotton trade
yesterday, which, coupled with the unsat-
isfactory conditions reported from other
markets, and the natural sequence of
shaken confidence on the part of buyers
all conspired to show up a short list
Of sales. Receipts at the ports were
considerably less than the average re-
ported the past several days-the only
favorable feature in yesterdays, con-
ditions. Cotton closed dull, with mid
ding quoted at 10Ic, and sales of $50
bales-450 to exporters, 500 to spinners.
Receipts, 1747 bales; shipments, 1888 bales,
leaving stock on hand 1881 bales. Of the
receipts 642 bales were by steamer and so
| by wagon, and of the shipments 1457 bales
were by rail. New York spots closed very
dull, with middling quoted 104c. New
York futures closed dull, with February
deliveries quoted at 10.7S@1O75, and de-
| clines of 1 point ON April. New Orleans
spots closed dull, with middling quoted
at 10 5-16c. New Orleans futures closed
dull, with February quoted at 1927, and
other months declined 2 to 4 points. Liver
pool spots closed steadierat 52@5sd. Liver
pool futures closed firm, with February
| March quoted at 5 4S-64d. Stock on hand
February sth, 6 5000 bales, against 1885,
900 same day last week. Total receipts at
