Special to The Advertiser.


 NEW ORLEANS, Feb. io.-Liverpool ad- vices were disappointing. but our market not withstanding this opened unchanged to points lower. subsequently advanced l5@l6 from the bottom on fresh buying predicated on the expectation of the unsettled weather preva- lent throughout the belt, causing curtailment of receipts. The finances of spots accentuated the favorable opinion, expecting realizing near the close. however. occasioned easiness and a decline of 2@5 points from the top was es- tablished, making the net improvement 90 points on the day. The movement both at the ports and interior towns continues larger than anticipated. For the time being. though, the factor is ignored owing to the extremely op- timistic opinion prevailing coupled to frmness of spots Tho recent strong demand for spots has been based to a large extent on old business put through by interior firms who have failed to carry their contracts. necessi- tating replacing by the original holder. It Is a question how long this will continue, but nevertheless until there is some restriction in this demand. values will remain steady. Mid ding in New Orleans is now 9k cents and July deliveries $50 Irrespective of the strong statistical position. there prices dis count a great deal in the situation Therefore we again suggest that our friends operate conservatively from new on. Ultimately re- ceipts will govern.
