 New Orleans Cotton Market.
 New Orleans, July 20-There was not much doing In the market for spot cot ton during the short hours today. One or two good sized lists changed hands late yesterday evening and are included in today's record of sales, running the total up to HOO bales of spots and 1,O5O bales to arrive; but, during this forenoon there were very few orders in the hands of exporters and buyers were not crowd ing the sample rooms. Factors are offer- ing freely and prices are not held as firmly as they have been. On the con- trary buyers are, in instances, enabled to secure definite concessions. At the close today the exchange committee re- ported the market steady at unchanged prices.
 What trading was indulged in today in the local market for contracts was con fined largely to the months of october and December with interest in the Tar mer predominating. Operators as rule are disposed to move with great caution. All eyes are now directed toward the Texas weather map and values swing back and forth over moderate range with every report of varying meterorol- ical conditions in that quarter.
 The market opened to points higher, fiuctuateA over a aranseA of a few points either way with a perceptible leaning to- ward a lower level and closing at noon with thes local board showing a net loss for the day of one point on February, while everything from July to December inclusive was up 1 10 points and the other months stood at even figures

 New Orleans, July 20.--The week closes with about the same uncertain feeling m cotton circles that characterized it's open ing. True in nearly all sections or the country east of the Mississippi river re- freshing rains have fallen. mittigatins the bad effects of long continued oroutn but in that portion of the belt west or the river, or the greater part thereon, Il remains suffering from the protracteo drouth. The Chronicle states that eight tenths of Texas feels the want of rain and this equally applies to Arkansas From time to time during the past ten days the indications for rains have been fairly promising. but the promise mas passed off with only scattered rains wnoi- ly inadequate to afford general relief. And now after all this long anxiety the same uncertainty exists as q week ago.
