 New Orleans Cotton Market.
 New Orleans, The market for spot cot ton was again quiet during the forenoon, necessarily so after Il 80 a. m., as the sky became so overcast at that time that buy CTS were unable to get around among the sample rooms; but prior to this interfer- ence with trading there was very little done. Factors were asking concessions that buyers were generally unwilling to make and as neither element showed any disposition to give way in order to close transactions, the sales amounted to but 1000 bales of spots and 200 bales to arrive of which the greater part changed han the last two hours of last evening. Quo l. tions advanced 1-16 on all grades,
 There was no very extensive trading during the short session today in the mar ket for contracts, but all things considered the movement was of fair proportions, with only modicum of floor work in the padding The opening was points higher for July and to points higher for the other positions, values advancing after the call in sympathy with the trend at New York and finally closing witt net ad- vantage to the bulls of Il to 12 points on all months.
