There was practically 10 change IN liv-
erpool futures today. and very httle IN
the American markets. Uho fluctuations
were within an extremely narrow range
and the small sales showed that every
thing was exceedingly dull. Total trans
actions at New York were 'S.Wo paies
and at New orleans eloo
Tho small receipts and largo exports
made the shorts afraid to sell and doubt
less kept the market from react'ng under
tho poor speculative demand that has
been experienced for some time past Sec
Rotary Iioster's report of tho amount III
sight for the week-3S coo-was consid-
cred n hullish feature. as during the Same
time last year tho amount WAS ,o,1o, and
IN 1898 A.. 600 Exports for the week end
ing today have been over 10000 bales,
while port receipts were only 3',47d. THIS
