ATWOOD, VIOLET L co. s COTTON REPORT.
Special TO the Gazette
new ORLEANS, LA, May 25.-Atwood,
Violet y Co. say:
Futurcs-The situation seems to be as
follows: Large premiums on new crop
months, and IL comparatively small short
interest, which is nearly always bear fut-
ure. Against this crop conditions in many
sections are not favorable. To what ex-
tent injury has been done is yet to be de-
termned. In the meantime the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas continues to de-
cline. Liverpool closed easy on
near and firm on far months
at l-64d lower. New Orleans is points
lower on near and points on far positions.
We stated recently that summer months
would sell here at Sc. June to-day is S.05c
Port receipts to-day, 5000, against 1000 last
year
Free on board-Easy. Sales, 500 bales.
SpotS-EaSy. Sales, 5000 bales. Quota
fions are unchanged, but the latter are no
guide. as cotton is selling at sc lower than
yesterdays quotations.
