NEW ORLEANS, La, Dee. 5. At
wood. Violet & CO., say:
Futures-We called attention yester-
day to the iDadvisabiIity of buving con-
tracts On large premiums. The course
of the market to-day justifies our re-
marks, rs although mIddling and above
advanced here l-l6c, contracts are 3
points lower than yesterday and points
lower than the highest to-day. New
York lost the same and Liverpool I-32d of
to-day 5 advance. Stocks at visible in
terror points ana at ports tonight 90
over 200, coo bales. We regard the
weight of cotton as to prevent any per-
manent improvement at present.
Liverpool improved to-day or account
of light port receipts. New York and
New Orleans evidently do not consider
them as reason for smaller crop esti-
mates. The difficulty in selling e1-
change restricts port business here. Port
receipts for the week, 240, 900 bales; in
teri9r, = III 900; against 259 900 end
10. ,eesS respectively last year. Port
stocks, GGl 900; interior, 3S2 200;
against 700, 600 and 253. 600 respectively
last year. The interior stock is the
largest at this time on record.
+. o. b.-Good demand; Texas doing
the bulk of business; demand still for
middling and above. Sales, 10 900.
SPots-OiferIngs light and poor: mid
ding and above advanced Lice, low
grades neglected. Sales, 1000 bales.

lay. but the market was narrow and re-
