New Orleans, March 5.-Liverpool spots
were easier at 3-32d lower, and deliveries
were weaker than expected, causing our
market to open two points down. Shorts
covering on the reaction theory occa-
stoned an advance of points immediate
ly after which was maintained for a time
on the lighter estimates than anticipated
for both New Orleans and Houston. The
heavy semiweekly interior estimate of
1900 for receipts, against 2S000 last year,
and $1,000 year before last, or an increase
of So per cent. over last year, and 10 per
cent, over year before last, and the indi-
cations that the loss in stock would be
only 6.600 against a decrease of 1900 and
5000 year before last brought out selling,
which precipitated a decline of TO Is
from the top. Near the close room trad
ers evening up shorts, forced an advance
of 6to from the bottom, making the net
loss on the day three points. Liverpool,
New York and local shorts have nearly
all covered, playing for a reaction, which
they thought might materialize to-day.
In this they have been disappointed, yet
it is hoped by everybody that 1t will soon
be realized. There is nothing in the sit
uation TO warrant any decided improve
ment as trade is poor and spot holders
are weaker than they have been at any
time during the season. All the principal
Southern markets having reported de-

rowed August has been bought by the
parties who had sold that delivery against
their purchase of July and May. ReVers-

TRACE brokers gave August support. The
movement at the interior towns of the
Southwest continue on very heavy scale
and the semi-weekly movement Is the
heaviest on record. A reaction has been
expected by all and there has been sharp
buying by many local operators to bring
it about. They expect Liverpool to rally
tomorrow on the rather light Houston
movement. Our sharp fluctuations repre-
sent the alternate effects of their trading
