tive to-day. Owing to the continued
stringency of money and prevailing ap-
prehension caused by the Wall street
panic, there is general apathy TO trade.
Prices, however, are steady and well

COTTON FUTURES AND SPOTS.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS. La, Nov. 14.-At-
wood, Violet & Co., say:
Futures-Our idea has been lately that
without continuous buying by shorts
prices would not be sustained, that inter-
est has been large one, and immense
any time to more or less extent. 1t is
being largely covered the last few days.
The market is without that moral to
them, and just that much support has
been removed with increasing interior
stocks.
We anticipate large offerings from the
interior, with the result of lowering the
spot market here. The financial out
look is again bad to-day, and the New
York stock market is heavy. Our cables
say there are serious London money
troubles to-day. We give the situation
as we and our correspondents see it.
Receipts, 20S 200 bales; weekly interior
receipts, l64. 1874; port receipts, $50, 700,
against 1873 400 and 293 900 respectively,
last year. Interior stocks, 279 200; port
stocks, GIL 300, against 61G, 900 respect
lively, last year.
Free on board-No demand. The
scarcity of money prevents exporters
from making offers. A few bales of
Mississippi cotton were sold at quota
lions. No offers from Northern Texas.
Sales GOO bales.
Spots-Ofering light, demand still for
good grades; middling, though quoted
down Lice, still worth top figure for any
list not off in color. Good grades still
very scarce. Sales 1900 bales.
GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE stock
market to-day was much less active than
for week past, the general list being
comparatively dull, with small tuotus-
tions and practically devoid of feature.
There was, however, no lack of anima-
ton in a half dozen or more of the lead
ing stocks. and their fluctuations were as
large as usual. the prevailing tendency
being downward. The cause for the re-
newal of the uneasiness III the market
was 10 be found this morning in dis
patches from abroad, which reflected less
confidence than for the past two days,
and indicated that the squeeze for money
on the other side was BY 10 means favor
able, opening very Irregular, with
marked losses in a few stocks, among
which were Louisville and Nashville,
with loss of per cent, Union Pacific
with 4, and Atchison and Cleveland.
Cincinnati, Chicogo and St. Louis with
IS each were most conspicuous.
Western Union and North America
were the only strong stocks on the list,
the former opening with a gain of Il
per cent. and the latter rising in early
trading from l !, to Il. The feature of
the later dealings was the heavy selling
of Northern Pacific preferred, which
from COL, declined TO 81, and, like Lack
awanna, rallied only small fraction.
Market continued to settle down slowly
and steadily, closing active and weak at
or near the lowest prices of the day.
