Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. Sat
wood, Violet & Co. 3 report says:
Futures - The improvement every
where to-day was due to no particular
cause apparently, except covering bv
shorts, as port receipts are 40. 800.
against 43, 400 last year, while for the
week here are estimated Ut 80, 900.
Money matters are not satisfactory in
New York, judging BY the stock market
there. We think, however, there is a
disposition to await the bureau report on
Monday before selling. If as favorable
as expected, there should be drop In
prices. An argument In favor Of cotton
is that the prices here have declined so
much already that they should not go
lower. There was an improvement here
at the close. due to some buying orders
coming in at the close.
F. o. b.-Demand good; prices for cot
tons from good sections are still COM
handing a premium above spot quota
tons; the demand is still for strict mid
ding and good middling on account OF
good weather. The railroads are hand
ling cotton more rapidly. Sales (re-
ported), 1000 bales.
Spots-OIerings very light; sales to-
day were only for good color, staple
cottons, and full quotations were paid
off IN color and gin. but cotton is selling
under quotation. Sales, 2500 bales.

characteristic Of dealings, prices being
