Liverpool was quite satisfactory weather

ternpts on the part Of the bulls to force values
M. but all during the day there was some
thing Of a listiess feeling in evidence, aud
for awhile before the close realizing by longs
had tho effect Of bringing about some easl-
nsos The range OF fluctuations was II nar-
row one.
Liverpool was In good condition all around.
As result II was stated. Of the reports Of
excessive rains and DELAY in planting from

OF buying Of the distant positions Aside

New York to be Gown on some OF the near

New Orleans was unchanged to . up.
There were no changes In the spot mar
kets only very small amount OF business
was transacted and prices at all Of the larger
markets remained the same.
The movement was exceedingly light al
around Houston received but 1866 bales fo'
the day against 1851 last wear and $40 three
years ago. while for tomorrow the estimate
