New Orleans, March 23.-The future
market continues to reflect a general dis
position to do nothing. Prices fail to be
influenced in either direction and traders
are unwilling to increase their lines, not
knowing which way to turn. The prep
arations for the next crop are being
further delayed and should they continu,
so will no doubt influence some speculo
ton. There was large spot business,
done today at unchanged prices. attrb.

The failure of prominent firm at Paris,

the feeling of encouragement rather than
to any other factor. Spinners are reported
to have bought freely here today for
