NEW ORLEANS. La, Dec. s. - At
wood Violet s. Co., say:
Futures-lt is daily becoming manifest
that a large proportion of this crop can
not be sold at its proper relation to mid
ding, except by rendering on contract
the differences between low grades and
middling aud above Is continually
widening, and to-day everything below
tniddling was again reduced l8c. Put
ting aside the question of bulling or
bearing cotton, II does not seem advis-
able under such conditions to buy. For
Instance, March contracts here at 9.22 i.
when middling is easy at cents; either
one is too high or the other too low.

chases are filing their orders here at the
same price as offered from the country
Sales, 800 bales.

NEW YORK, Dec. l0.-The stock mar
ket to-day was less active than that of

krt at the opening this morning showed
that the rise of yesterday was more a
squeeze of shorts than anything else,
ana demand Tor the purpose WAS eHtirely
lacking. The losses ct the opening eA-
tended nearly to per cent, but the de-
cline after max ing considerable further
progress was checked and full recovery
occurred Some of the traders were IN
clIned to play for rally after the down.

time only. and later there was another
attack. The market closed active aud
II a n
day.
Railroad bonds quiet but displayed
cfrmer tone than stocks.
Government bonds dul: and steady.
State bonds entirely neglected.
