New York Cotton Futures.
New orIeanp Cotton Market.

New Orleans, May 12-Spot cotton dull
and easier; sales, 600 bales. including
200 to arrive; quotations 1-16 lower.
Futures under the influence of disap-
pointing Liverpool opened 4 to II points
lower. The big bulls showed not the
slightest disposition to support prices, but
nevertheless prices made fair recoveries
from the initial decline. 1t might be said
that the big reduction in the Boston stock
of cotton had more effect this morning
than 1t had yesterday. Again the weather
map was decidedly bullish, showing low
temperatures and no rain. A loud cry for
rain is going up from the central and
eastern portions of the cotton belt. The
market remained uniformly dull through
out the session.
In the trading July first lost IA points
at 1894 recovered to 14.01, and finally
declined to 1891. October lost points to
II 90, recovered to IL IA and declined to
II co. The market closed weak with net
