ATWOOD, VIOLET CO.'S COTTON REPORT.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, La, April 27.--Atwood,
Violet & Co. say:
F'utures-We feel we have right to call
attention to our views so often expressed
during the past several months, that de-
preston in spots would occur some time
during the season of a serious character,
which now seems about being realized, and
so believing we have steadily advised our
friends of these impressions. In view of
our opinions of a very large crop, We fore
saw large accumulation in America, and
have therefore advocated the short side of
cotton. Our spot quotations are entirely
fictitious.
As May contracts. which are practically
spots to-day, sold and closed at Sc, although
middling is quoted at S.44c, the proper quo
tation would be SIC, at which price June
and July would show to be at q premium to-
night, instead Of apparently at discount.
The pressure to sell by holders is great,
with but few buyers. Too much cotton and
too little demand expresses the outlook
The port movement this week looks very
large again, as receipts for two days are
5000 larger than the total movement for the
same week last year. Receipts to-day are
1900, against 210O last year. Liver
pool improved s-64d, but lost 1-64d.
New Orleans opened 4 points bet
ter, but closed Z points lower
than Saturday. New York opened points
higher, and closed to 9 points lower. Liv-
erpool should be several points lower to-
morrow.
Free on board-No demand. Sales 100.
SpotS-Irregular. Sales 300. Quota
lions unchanged, though offerings are easy
at Nc under official quotations
GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK. April 2I.-The stock market
to-day felt the influence of the realizing
sales even more than the last few days of
last week, but the demand which has
sprung up from outside sources was a
great sustaining element in speculation and
enabled the list to successfully resist not
only realizationS, but also efforts of reac-
ton to bring about materially lower range
of prices and the influence of further en-
gagements Of gold for exports
The close was active and weak at the
lowest prices, but with hopefulness for
immediate future. Final losses of note in
clude Northwestern Is, Burlington IL,
Wabash preferred Is and Atchison, st.
Paul, Louisville and Union Pacific each !
per cent.
Railroad bonds moderately active
Government and state bonds dull.
