New orIean. Cotton Market.


 New Orleans, June 3-The market for spot cotton today was very quiet. The offerings are not particularly attractive Just now. Factors are not putting out their best list very freely, and buyers as a rule are not seeking the medium and lower grades which can be had at moderately easy figures, while clear lists of the better qualities are held with considerable strength. Sales, 26O0 bales. including 140o to arrive. Quotations unchanged.
 The market for contracts opened rather tamely today, and there was but little in clination to trade shown. Liverpool with It's moderate advance of 1-32d on spots and 2-64d to 3-64d on deliveries, was a. dis tinct disappointment to the talent, which had expected the English market to re- enter the field of operations. with a radi- cal if not sensational change of level as the results of the bureaus June report and the result was that the markets eon this side lacked steam and remained dull throughout the day, closing with a net loss of points.on July and August, and 2 to points on the remainder of the list.
