By Private Wire to walter Cotter & O.. 42 Commerce St.
 New Orleans Jan. 1s.--There are no de- velopments of special significance to report or to trade on. The now usual depression on Fridays on anticipation of the effect of large into sight figures was again iD evidence during the morning.
 Liverpool made an indifferent showing. fn lures somewhat lower on straddle selling According to our own information. New York is inclined to now regard their stock cheap enough on basis futures which belief leads to stradde operations with buying in New York and selling in other markets.
 A temporary reduction in market differ ences may result therefrom. Spot prices fin Liverpool are four points higher, sales on- ly 5000.
 Receipts for the week at interior towns particularly Georgia and Mississippi. are equally heavy shipments support the con- tention of rapid movement. The into sight for the week is officially estimated at from 422. 900 to 432,00o. against 210,572 last year ket today Is very quiet. Bad weather may have something to do with this indiffer- ence, but exporters are heard to complain that 1t Is hard~to sell cotton on the other side. A rumor issued from good source that the National Ginners will give feturns the census on the 23rd not exceed this fig ure. it would probably have huilish effect on the market at present a census around IF, 200, 900 is generally expected.
 Futures ruled steady in the afternoon in spite of unfavorable movement statis- tics and easier spots There was no im- provement in the spot demand as on other days What sustained futures was the rel ative firmness of New York and expecta- ton of bullish spinpers takings for the week.
