NEW ORLEANS. La, Dec. 6. - At
wood, Violet & Co., say:
Futures-There seems to be feeling
nnfavorable TO the hope of any improve
meut except that resulting from recur-
ing by short interest. Liverpool lost
S-G4d, bringing prices down to the lowest
point they had already touched there.
New York lost and New Orleans Z
points.
The week $ movement reported by our
exchange shows that while last weeks
excess in sight WAS 332 200, it is this
week 34S, GOO, and rs compared with last
year, since the lst of December the ex-
cess has increased 81 600 bales. We
look for further increase in stocks, and
consequently think the excess by next
Saturday will be at least SO 900 over
last year. Port receipts to-day were
SO eco, against 10, 600 last year.
Free on board-No demand. Offerings
from the country were plentiful, but of
grades under middltng. Sales, 1850,
the largest part effected last night.

GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The stock mar
ket to-day was again panicky, and in
the two hours of business there were
large transactions and decided losses IN
all active stocks, although the market
retained its narrow character, and the
general list was comparatively neg
lected, and only one of inactive stock
Illinois Central, showed any material
movement during the day, although
many sold ct prices much lower than
those of few days ago.
The London market was strong. and
advices from that center reflected conf
dence and hopeful feeling. The open
ing not only showed none of last even
ing's frmness, but was made on large
business at from to : per cent lower
than last nights tigureS. There was a
perfect rush of shorts IN all leading |
stocks, and undoubtedly large blocks of !!
long stocks came upon the market, and |
Gould stocks are pressed for snle with |
especial vigor, aud all Western roads |
suffered severely.
After the first drop there was halt !
IN the downward movement, but selling |
was soon resumed. and upon the issue |
IF the bank statement selling again as
'umed proportions of q semi panic.
Traders recovered to some extent in the
asst few minutes upon heavy selling, and |
succeeded in making slight rally from
owest prices in some cases. The close,
however, was yet decidedly weak. with
most stocks at the lowest prices of the
lay.
The talk on the street this evening ia
of q bearish tenor, but the out
ook is really better than for sometime.
