To-day's features: The receipts az ,nS
ports were large: so were those az ,sc
interior towns. and. as for the capi0s, NV
were disappointing; For these re a.s,1ss
prices, after showing some steaa'nets
early In the day, took downward courss.
Large sales OF mules and fertilizers are
reported, and everybody looks fof p'ls
acreage. British consols showed t,,"
sharp decline. partly because OF the
French constitutional crisis, and fear
Of possible complications between tbs

tinues high. New blood. moreover,

The worst feature OF the cotton specu-

Dry-goods, however were In rather bet.

The estimated receipts at New Orleans
and Houston tomorrow are small. inc
exports from the ports were very large.
New Orleans reported good SPOT de-

Still there was more disposition to sell
than to buy. Many who bought yesterday
sold out to-day, fearing possible adverse
developments over the holiday.
