GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Nov. l.-Trading in the
stock market to-day was like that of
neutrality-suspicious. only, with some
activity in sugar refneries and Reading,
while the general list was dull and stag
nant, or taking what little there was dis
played from the movements in the lead
ers. The amount of business done in
other stocks was Insignificant in the eI-
IRENE.
The opening was made at irregular but
slight changes from last nights prices,
and in early dealing some firmuess
was shown in Changers and Chicago gas,
but this soon gave way to a dropping
tendency, owing entirely to the weakness
in the two leaders. The close was dull
but fir at an improvement. Final
changes, which are generally in the di-
rection of lower figures, but sugar and
Reading are the only ones showing any
loss of Importance, the former being
down 236 and the latter per cent.
COTTON FUTURES AND SPOTS.
Special TO the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. AT
wood, Violet q Co. say:
Futures-As we have recently said,
Liverpool, where the decline was 4-64d
to-day, seems 90 be the weak point, and
has done much 10 cause decline here, and
New York, which together with other
sitifluences previously mentioned, have
been too much for the market.
Our decline to-day is 8 aud New York
II points, and that market I'd lower
after the close, and our New York infor-
nation is that the market there seems
without existence. The October crop
movement of our exchange to-day shows
amount in excess of last year, 253, 900;
an excess over two years ago of GA 900.
The increase stocks ar ports and twenty
nine leading towns for the week is 49,
600, increase last year this week, SO 900.
The market looks lower. This market is
relatively higher than New York.
The greatest weakness here Is in the
spot market. Our Memphis advices are
that the Tennessee agricultural depart
ment will probably be estimated at 1885,
900. against 100 600 last year.
Free on board-The feeling amongst
buyers is very bearish, and it is almost
impossible to place offers. No sales.
Good niddling was offered freely from
good sections.
Spots-Offerings very small. Our mar
ket is still bare of good grades and good
styles OF cotton. Sales, 25oo, at &c de-
cline.
