GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS
New YORK, Oct. 2S.-Very little ac-
tivity in the stock market to-day out
while not as large as usual OF late, rolled
up respectable volume of business ut
almost steadily declining prices. The
Grangers stocks, with Louisville, were
prominent In the dealings, but only the
last named sympathized with the down
ward movement to any marked extent.
There were few strong points In the list,
but they were all inactive, and the
special market vas remarkably dull,
after the bulk of hammering was over,
and closed heavy ut about the lowest
prices reached. The final changes in
the regular list are all for small frac-
tions, and with few exceptions are ell in
the direction of lower figures.
Railroa bonds dull.
Government bonds dull, but firm.
State bonds without feature.
Special to the Gazette.
COTTON FUTURES AND SPOTS.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 2S.-At-
wood, Violet s. Co., say: Futures
There appears to be no indication of per-
mauent strength to the market, unless
bad weather should again get Ia and give
some announcement to those who be-
lleve in better prices. At present the
first damage Is supposed to be inmate
rial, as but littls attention is given it.
Good weather prevails generally and re-
ceipts continue on the same liberal scale.
Unless Liverpool comes to the rescue a
lower level will apparently have to be
reached before q 81 Dstantal reaction can
take place, and yet the demand for act
ual cotton continues and make the near
months at q heavy discount dangerous to |
sell. Our New York advioes say they
would rather buy than sell on declines.
The crop estimates are increasing. Port |
receipts to-day are 81 900. against g.
600 last year. We close four points |
lower than yesterday.
F. o. b.-Again we have to report very
good demand, buyers still Inclined TO
entertain any offer from good sections.
Spot guotations-Strict middiing from
good sections still commanding 10 l-16c; |
com pressed spots offerings not only
limited but very poor. No white cottons |
Offering to-day. Sales effected to-day |
were for grades below strict middling; |
continental ways in the market for |
grades above middIing. Sales 1900 bales |
of mIddling at 93Ic.
