srecial TO the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 2l.-At-
wood, Violet & Co. sav: Futures-We
stated yesterday the market, we thought,
would react sharply If anything arose to
create covering by the shorts, and to-
day it has been verified. especially here,
where the improvement is points. The
weather appears unsettled, and the suS-
ceptibility OF the market to such in-
huences, whether rain or sunshine, is
still very marked, and the large move
ment is lost sight of at the moment,
which at the ports to-duy is &c 600,
against 6S, 900 last year. Interior re-
ceipts also are large. Our New York
adrlces say it is thought Wall street
bought heavily there yesterday and to-
day.
We doubt il Liverpool will follow much |
at present, unless rains should continue |
with resulting damage, and yet that |
market has remained very steady lntely |
all things considered.
+. o.b-Denand still continues though |
n great check to f. o. b. business is |
.ightness of money and blockading of |
railroads. Any offers of grades above |
still commanding l-IGc TO 1Sc !
Above our spot quotations when from
good sections. Grades under midding
are still neglected, but from desirable
sections quotations are obtained when !
samples can be shown.
Spots-Offerings to-day show a de-
'ided improvement not only in grades
Iut in staple. Sales reported at 1000
niles at 1-l6c advance. Demand still
food for grades above middling.
GOVERNMENT STOCKS AND BoNps.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2l.--The stock mar
iet was dull with usual active spots and
rregui8r movements, but ending with
trong tone and generally fractional
.ains over last nights prices. The OPEN
ng was quiet and irregular, but slightly
hanged from last nights figures, but q
Irin tone was developed and most OF the
ist of last nights movement being con-
inued, but there WAS little feature TO
rading, the demand soon Stacking away.
here was an iudispOsitiou TO trade
mong the professional element, the uu-
ertninty of the situation making a wait
ng attitude for the time being and dull
ess soon became the ruling character
'tio of the market. The hesitation of
he bears brought in more good buying
urins the afternoon, and on a very lin
ed business prices were advanced
Iowly but steadily throughout the re-
laiuder of the day. The market closed
uiet but firm at or near the best D ices
the day. The final changes are
lmost all for fractional gains, but
'orthern Pacific preferred is up ~
nd North American and Hooking Valley
ach per cent.
Railroad bonds more active.
Government bonds dull and steady to
rm.
