ATWOOD, VIOLET & CO.'S COTTON REPORT.
Special 10 the Gazette.
New ORLEANS. LA, May 9.-Atwood,
Violet & Co. say:
Futures-The bureau report to-day was
the feature of the market and showed that
in May T7.5 of q crop had been planted,
against 15.5 on the same day last year. The
question of acreage is not touched upon in
the May report. AS an instance of how
yalueleSs report in May can be, we need
only 10 refer TO the fact that Texas planting
was very much retarded last year, so that
only 70 per cent of seeding had been COM
pleted, against 90 per cent the year before,
and vet the yield last year exceeded by far
all previous crops. As the report was pub
Gshed at noon, the New York market had
closed before its contents were known, and
therefore the official figures show no effects
of its publication.
We learn, however, that on the curb the
market IS l or points lower. Here its Of
feet Gf there is any was only informal.
Prices ruling before its announcement are
3 points lower than yesterday.
Liverpool closed to-day l-64c up on near
months. and 2-64c on the distant positions,
no doubt in anticipation of an unfavorable
bureau report.
Port receipts to-day are 64SO bales, against
$50 last year.
Free on board-No offerings Sales, 100
bales.
Spots-Steady. Sales, 1900. Offerings
continue large and Of poor style, with fair
demand.
