 New Orleans, Nov. 19.-The market Is der influence of apprehension as to the extent trade win be unfayorably affected by the necessity of mills having to cuFrtail pro- duction.
 River. the Textile Manufacturers of New England are feeling the pressure of financial conditions. and are facing the necessity of curtailment. It is said that some mills are having comparatively little trouble, but in some cases 1t has appeared that less than 50 per cent, of the goods bought for the balance still being held awaiting ship ping instructions. The pressure to defer deliveries has become acute in the past ten days and 1t is said that large converters have been at the mills endeavoring to secure releases from contracts for goods to be de- livered next year In it's last issue, the New York Chronicle in conclusion of an ar- ticle as to financial conditions dominating the dry goods market, with the result that new business has been insignificant and the tendency of prices again being downward says: Tn the print cloth market one of the principal features has been the with draufaI hv the American Printing Company of it's standing bid of 5kc for regulars, which has sustained the price of these up to
 In New England manufacturers have not only to contend with existing monetary con- ditions. but are having trouble with thefr labor, which appears to be dissatisfied.
 Cables received from Liverpool today look for a falling off in the demand for staple cottons and tell of the probability of a se- week. The movement to market continues comparatively light, receipts at all ports since Friday 1s6,0 ,000 vs. 227,000 last year. but there is noted more liberal run of ar- rivals at the five important interior towns, thus far this weeke Sl'Ooo vs Ss.ooC one backed up by small crop estimates, rumor having 1t today that no less an authority than NeilI Brothers of London having esti- mated the probable size of the crop at only 11.6OO.0O0 and the seasons probable con sumption at 1z.s0o.o0o American maximum.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES.
NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Nov I9-The cotton market was rather Jess active today and ruled un- settled with the close steady at net ad- vance of one point to decline of seven
 The market opened steady at a decline of thirteen points to advance of five points, the main loss being on December which was offered down on the call, possi- bly, in order to make a buying basis for the and in active demand. Little attention was paid to the cables which were below ex- pectatfons, owing, 1t was reported, to pros poets of strike in Lancashire, and prices worked up to a net gain of 296 points dur ing the early session with December recov- of the run1ors which were persistently cir culated during the end of the day that a private settlement had been made on about , 60,OOO bales of December shorts and this interest was going long of January March and May.
 During the late trading the market was quite irregular but December still showed a premium of forty points over January at the close which was against the assumption that the short interest in that position had been entirely eliminated. Local spot peo- pie continue to report very poor demand cd claims of an export demand in the South and bulls said that spot offerings were very limited It was rumored that a prominent English authority was issuing estimate placing the crop at il, 600.0 900 bales.
 Receipts at the ports today 6s, 216 bales, against 70.I57 last week and 104. .zs7 last year For the week (estimated) $40. 900 bales against 354.243 last week and 412.949 last
 Todavs receipts at New Orleans 20, 5ss bales, against 22, 665 last year. and at Hous- ton 17.146 bales, against 2o,4SS last year.

THE STOCK MARKET

 The weakness in securities gave direction to the many conjectures as to the source Of the liquidation. The latter heavy liquid including the sinking fund bonds was used as confirmation of some of these con1ect- ures owing to the large common interest critics. While the identity of sellers was thus but vaguely outlined the outline and s ss nost sns fsss h The The selling Of St. Paul. Union Pacific and nected in some way. although indications pointed to different source for this sell ing from that conjecture in the other group The weakness of these stocks was the con spicuous figure of the days market and tt was its sympathetic effect. more than any thing else that gave the tone to the rest
 The confusion of mind revealed by the discussion of the plan to issue United States Treasury one year certificates to the amount of $loe, 100000 or only by the rank and file of operators in stocks already ready to ven- ture an Interpretation ready made on any conceivable development but by public com mentators of authority and bankers of skill ed knowledge detracted from the good eff feet of the project The willingness of the New York banks 10 subscribe for the cer- tificates In large amount seemed to hinge on the question of leave to count them in their legal reserves.
 There was an intimation from Washing ton of the purpose of the Secretary of the Treasury to transfer the proceeds of New York subscriptions to points of active de- bank notes against the certificates which could not be counted bank reserves un- der the law might. not compensate the banks for such a surrender of reserve hold .tngs. Reports of further large curtailment 6f iron output was an influence on the mar ket.
 This is in accordance with the intention of the iron trade authorities to adjust pro duction to sconsumptiye requirements, what. :. ever those may be. Such an avoidance ot accumulation of stocks Is expected to do much toward maintaining stability in the trade The shrinkaEe in activity is. never theless to be reckoned with. The decline in prices was continued practically without interruption to the closing.
