THE LOCAL MARKET.

Business In some lines has been consider
ably accelerated by the storm. as many towns
which wero supplied from Galveston are now
sending orders into Houston. fow days
ago the Northern merchants ostentatiously
stated that they would not push their debtors
In the food stricken district. Some have
adhered to this. while others, notably some
ST. Louis concerns, are pressing their claims
yoraciously. They are drawing demand drafts
on merchants in Houston and surrounding
country. something they never did before. All
their demands, when due. have been honored
bat those firms which have been SO urgent
In pressing their claims during and immedl-
stely following the awful calamity Will. Of
course, be remembered Some Northern
houses are extremely lenient and they are be-
Ing praised, while the others are coming in
for criticism on account OF their voracity.
Chickens are rather scarce commodity and
prices are firm and high
The demand for fresh Ash and oysters Is
light and tho sale OF crabs is entirely out Of
the question.
II. ID. Williamson is getting in a car Of
California grapes and one OF Missouri apples
Potatoes are still scarce. but new supplies
are expected.
Eggs are Arm. Considerably bad stock is
coming in, which nets the Interior shipper
nothing. Country merchants who realize the
Importance OF good shipping get top prices.

COTTONRATHERE RRATIC|
Bulls 10 Liverpool Have Apparently Become
Somewhat Bearish.
AMERICAN MARKETS SHOWED fIRMNESS
Prices started on mt Decline on
This Side. bat Inter On They Raj
lied, Closing Higher.

Yesterdays cotton market was decidedly an
cratic one. Liverpool, which Of late has
been reasonably strong. showed signs OF weak
enlng both In spots and futures and at the
outset this Jared the nerves of the American
spectators. The market seems to throb
like the toothsche. One day It is fairly siz-
zing. the next it is quieter and the next 1t is
extremely quiescent Never before was it in
a more nervous condition.
Conditions which prevailed at the opening
OF the season have been entirely changed
SO far as the statistical position is concerned
tie situation remains the same. But statis-
ties arr NO longer taken into consideration.
Spectators are nervous and are buying and
selling by spasms. There seems TO be no
concerted action on the part OF either the
bulls OF the bears nor does 1t appear that
the 81 eculation is really confined 10 the
merits o. the situation.
Never was there such chaotic market as Is
now OIL and cotton men will express no
opinion as 60 the outlook They all know
that the crop is late; that Ia Texas the
ou,pul Is Gu. down from 100000 to 10000
bales that with the extraordinary seasons
we have been having early frost Is liable
10 fail and that altogether prices should be
even higher than they are. The great trouble,
however is that when the spinners had the
cotton planter by the throat they squeezed
a little TOO hard. They made up goods on
cheap basis when 1t was unnecessary to do
product Is too cheap. Cotton isn't too high,
but the products OF raw cotton are too cheap.
1t therefore devolves upoI the spinners to
get together and raise the prices on their
manufactured products. They have certain
ly fol- years made tho farmer pay for over
production Now it's the farmers time to
profit by interpretation.
Spots yesterday were lstiess. Liverpool
closed at a decline of 1-l6d and only 5000
bales wers sold New Orleans and Calves
ton we're OIL LILO.
Liverpool futures opened at decline Of
6-64d to S-6id and when the close came there
was a slump of 9-0id to 11-6ld the hear
positions showing most weakness
Futures in New York opened at a decline
of 3 to s points. but quickly reacted aud
Glaze with September ny u points, October
2and other months TO points
New Orleans futures opened to points
down, but rallied on buying and closed with
September of points, while the rest OF the
list was up > to points.
New Orleans expects 1890 10 $500 bales
today. against 41sS last year and Houston
expects 1900 to $500. against 1887 bales a
year age.
