COTTON SPOTS AND FUTURES.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, La. Oct. atwood,
Violet & Co.'S report of the cotton mar
ket: Liverpool was quite as surprising
to-day in the way of better market as
il was yesterday in Disappointing as it
improved this morning TO 2-64, with
spots firm. Sales II 900 bales. There is
some Improvement here and in New
York, but the advance was almost entirely
lost. At the close here receipts were not
perhaps Us large as expected, 5000 against
81 900 last year. but still sufficiently so
tnsdiscourage apparently any particular
lnrving, and there is an evident deisre to
4SOid accommodating any interest on the
&hort side that would be difficult 10 get

TO advance the market. AS we have re-
Gently remarked the discount on all near
months makes these months too low to
sell, considering the price of spots, which
has been to-day rather better than yes
terday, although the feeling at the close
was easier. Sales 1850 bales. Middlug,

majority of interior markets are still

GOVERNMENTS. STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The stock market
to-day while dull was strong, and its
behavior WIS more like that of bull spec
ulatIon than any time since last spring.
The opening figures we're gen orally small
fractions better than those of last even
ing. and strength i'll silver certificates
became a prominent feature of early
trading aud helped to materially i'm
prove the feeling on stocks. The rail-
road list, however, presented no
specially prominent feature, though Mis-
souri, Pacific doomed up toward noon,
the new Southwestern agreement being
made basis for the prediction of much
higher prices for their stock. Chicago
gus WINS the leader of the list, and rose
ovsf1 per cent. but silver was strong
xfature. The demand Stacked away as
usual toward noon, and the bears then
became more aggressive, and the
pressure slowly melted quotations away,
aud before p. N. about all of the early
gains were wip out. A special weak
ness was shown late in Lackawanna,
which il was expected would regain its
dividend by Tomorrow, aud went back
to Its first price. The decline was
checked In the last hour, however, and
the close was fairly steady at about first
prices.
