New Orleans Cotton Market.


 New Orleans. September s.-The market was suspicious today, but on the whole was not lacking confidence It was a bit difficult for the two clements to get to, gether at any time during the session, and consequently there were but few transactions recorded Offerings show marked improvement over those on the tables at the close of last week. Sales s410 bales. including 2950 to arrive. ouo- tations 1-16 lower.
 There was a moderately good movement in contracts with the trading confined In the main, however, to the October, De- cember and January positions. Under the influence of a gain in Liverpool this market opened to 6 points higher. An easier feeling soon developed. and values worked of s to & points on the active po- sittons After slight fluctuations the mar ket closed with net losses on the day Of s points on September and to points Oh the other months.
