which gave renewed firmness to the market, ad-
vancing here several points, but closing only
points better than We terday. There is no par
ticular buying or selling at the moment, every
one awaiting the result OF the present weather
conditions. The brisk demand for actual cotton
still continues indep ende Mt OF the weatneE. and
our Liverpool able to-day says trade Is now
on spots-sales 6JOO bales-but futures closed
barely steady at l-6id. decline. Should any
material injury TO the crop result from the bad
weather, we think there would be decided i'm
prOvement there.
F. o. B.-Good inquiry again to-day; some
demand for low mid ilings and strict low mid
dlings from Texas black lands and Mississippi
bottom. Continental buyers are still eager tor
am thing above strict midd ing. The great i'm
pedinent to I. o. b. is that the railroads. here
are entirely blockaded, and the delay in deliver
ing occasions not only annoyance to buyers,
loss of interests, but makes them more cautious,
and the offerings of to-day were not SO readily
taken on that account.
Spots-rhe market opened firm, in fact 1-l6c
better was pad during the morning, but later a
quieter feeling existed and closed firm, with no
changes. Sales 300 bales, middlins. l3-l6c.
GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
New YORK, Oct. 22.-The stock market this
morning opened quiet but strong, with favora-
bic adv ces from London. and there coed
buying orders in the market from many outside
points. Chicago, Boston, and even London,
taxing their favorites to a limited extent.
Large traders also, who have been SO during the
past three months, were working for O rise and
offerings being taken with such ease, traders
in general took the long side for turn. Lack
awahna and North America wereileaders in the
cary advance. but their places were afterward
taken by Changers, Wizards. Louisville and
Nashville and specialties. Among the special
ties Mobile and OHIO was the only feature, and
dozen leading shares. this rest being compare
lively neglected.
The close was rather heavy, but still ct frac-
tionally better figures than opening. Final
changes almost invariably advances for
small fractions. but Chicago Cincinnati and
Cleveland and ST. Louit is up IA, and Pacific
Mail l. while sugar is off ~. Chicago gas sold
ex dividend and retired 4 small fraction.
Railroad bonds slightly more active.
Government bonds dull and firm.
State bonds dull and steady.
