New Orleans, Jan. 2s.-Liverpool was
somewhat more favorable on the ex-
pectation of an early settlement of the
Boer war and our market in sympathy
opened 3 higher but declined six sub
sequently on the bearish semi-weekly
interior statement coupled to the large
estimates for both New Orleans and
Houston tomorrow, closing at "a net
loss of points on the day. The light
er port receipts are offset by the in
creased movement in the interior. The
semi-weekly interior towns gained
1000 in receipts over last year, in
creasing 5000 In stocks against a loss
of 5000 last year, proving that the re-
cent large port receipts have been from
plantations and not at the expense of
interior stocks since they have gained
relatively during the past seven weeks.
The cold and inclement weather prev
alent in the South is anticipated to
check receipts by many, still 1t is
questionable whether 1t will cause any
decided decrease. Any way advices
are being received daily, showing that
there is considerably more cotton in
the interior than was thought possible.
some few weeks back, our cable ad-
wees say Mr. Ellison was compelled to
reduce his estimate of American con-
sumption to 0,400,000 as he ascertained
there was more surats coming to
Europe than he had calculated upon
and that Lancashire issuing consider
able amount of Peruvian and Brazilian
at the expense of American cotton,
spots were easier with concessions be-
ing ofered to affect trades, vet export
efs did not exhibit any eagerness to
take hold. Receipts will continue to
govern the future course of values.

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed firm and un-
changed, with sales by factors of 70S.
Receipts we're s,3S7, against 3,261 last
year. The demand was satisfactory,
with the general favorable in view of
the effect of complete lack of con-
firmation of many of the bullish re-
ports flying about yesterday. In the
country little disposition was shown
TO sell at bid prices, though a moder-
ate business was reported. Fully good
middling was currently reported as
being 5-16c, and good middling 3-16c.
Cotton futures at New York closed
quiet to points lower.

Hubbard Bros. q Co.'s Cotton Letter

New York, Ian. 19.-The severe
weather in the Southwest and extend
ing over the cotton belt, is having an
effect on the movement which should
snow next week. Foreign advices
were disappointing, as the trade ex-
pected the practical solution of the
Boer war was at hand, and that would
bring sharp buying in the Liverpool
market. Tenders were made on Feb
ruary in small quantities to-day, but
were absorbed at carrying differ
ence. The market felt the heavy real
izing by Wall street houses at the
opening, and the comparatively large
estimates at the ports for tomorrow.
Estimates of the insight are held at
$4,000 bales, though were it
not for the sever weather con-
ditions they would be raised. Trans
actions were on a limited scale among
commission houses after the opening,
as the trade is still puzzled over the
movement.

VICTOR HUGo AND THE BARBER.

When Victor Hugo lived in the Place Royale

he busy II hardly know which way to
