New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, October 18.s-The spot cot ton market today was quiet and easy. Offerings are now free and factors are inclined to force the movement. But the general feeling is sympathetically easier and bids in some instances range as low as cent below board prices. Of course there is no trading upon such basis, but the bids are interesting as being repre- sentative of instructions from the other side of the Atlantic. Sales, $500 bales, in- cluding 2900 to arrive. Quotations re- duced 1-l6. Only moderate amount of business was noted in the market for contracts and the outlook was far from attractive to the long clement Liverpool dropped 1-82d on spots and 1-64 on de- liveries which led to a decline of 2 to { points on the opening in the local market. After first cali there was small interest in the situation displayed by other than the scalping contingent and prices waver- ed over range of 3 to 8 points, but with just a slight leaning toward lower fg- ures. The reports of light frosts in sev- eral portions of the belt and predicted frosts for tomorrow morning throughout North Carolina and exposed places in South Carolina had not the slightest ef- feet upon the market which merely drift ed along iistlessly unti the closing, which showed net losses for the day of to 8 points on the entire list
