HOUSTON. Monuay, Marcn ~.
Tho cotton situation is unchanged and the
market has dropped back into rut.
Political news was not plentiful, but all
that was furnished showed that the crisis is
nearly at hand and something is expected to
develop very soon.
Speculation in stocks is not very active and
the apathy is shown in all the other mar
kets.
Futures in Liverpool closed at decline OF
lIe-6iths, with sales of only 5000 bales OF
spots and prices generally in favor OF buyers.
The American spot markets remain I'M
changed, with "A quiet and easy feeling
New Orleans futures closed UP on April,
/ off on December and January options, and
other deliveries unchanged.
July was l point up in New York, with
ether months the same as Saturday.
The port movement was 10, 2e0, against 1860
last year and 23,02S In 1895.
New Orleans expects 5000 TO 5000 tomorrow
