NEW ORLEANS. La, Dec. 23.-At-
wood, Violet s. Co. say:
Fu.ures-We stated yesterday that the
price of January and that of middling
here showed the latter was quoted too
light. To-day all grades under good
middling were reduced 18c, and should
have been even more. The situation to-
day has looked to us weaker than at al
most any time this season, and we look
in vain for support to market except re-
actions caused by short covering. The
very large accumulation of undesirable
grades here and at New York will pre-
vent, in our opinion, any improvement
in contracts so long as they are held for
tenderable purpose, and as evidence il
feature notice January is selling here at
20 and New York 40 points under mid
al IT,
the same way-there will be time when
such grades viii be taken up and ex-
ported; when they are we shall be quick
to advise our readers. Port receipts are
80 500, against 55 400 last year, and to-
morrow the receipts here are estimated
at IA 900. We anticipate large January
receipts.
f. o. Differing, though not large,
are of good character. The largest
offerings were from Alabama. Sales,
100 bales.
Spots-Offering large and same style
as usual. ANY grades above middling,
good style and color, command pre-
MUM. Cottons not of good color.
Nominal, 18@3-lGc under quotation,
which were reduced 1sc to-day; mid
ding, S 1850. Sales, 1000 bales.
GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The market to-
day was very dull throughout, but soon
rallied in the afternoon and remained
heavy to weak, as rule, until
the last hour, when they showed a
partial recovery to former fractional
losses to the close, which was firm at the
rally. Final changes are in but few
cases for more than small fractions, and
generally in the direction of lower fig
ures.
Railroad bonds dull but frmer.
Government bonds duh and steady.
State bonds without feature.
