Office of The Post,
Houston. Saturday, January %.

HOUSTON, SATURDAY Jtnuhiy 40
1t was a dull. disappointing day, with
none OF the recent stimulating influences
Visible. There was very noticeable an
sence of fresh investing demand. and moth
ing OF special interest was developed dur
Ing the shor, session. Liverpool futures
closed about h-6id up. but the American
markets were few points OFF. The de
cline on this side was n very slight one,
however. and was not sufficient to cause
any weakness In the spot markets.
The Southern spot markets are holding
up remarkably well. and the present high
prices do not Justify the belief that much
cotton Is being held back. Middling cotton
was quoted at cents IN Houston today.
while February contracts In New ORLEANS
are ls2, March 1895. and April 79s. The
bulls agree that If there was much cotton
left in the country 1t would be rushed to
market now. on the contrary receipts
continue small, aud indications are for n
light movement next week.
The bears smile at the idea of the small
movement having much effect as long as
stocks ut Interior towns are so large.

today total OF h5S6SS bales, against A1i,-
$50 on this day last year, 42O.i47 In lSsi,
and 4il,920 IN iS9S. In other words. the

last year 1881 more than In 1894, ana
| sSI5S more than at this time IN 1879. Port
STOCKS also show some increase today,
being only 2LS1 less than In 1876
