NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET.
NEW YORK COTTON 1870.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
MARKET DEADLY DULL

NEW ORLEANS, April 19.-The cot
ton market here continues In a state Of
inertia as regards the speculative prOpO-
sitiOn maiEsiy attributed 10 the radical
legislation on the question of futures
by some of the Southern States. Whether
OF not this is the cause of the light
trading or the fact that the public
like the burnt child. breads the fire.
there is absolutely no evidence Of gen
eraI public interest, and this attitude
on the part of outsiders seems TO have
settled on the professional bears The
trend during the week has been bullish
and an advance Of about 10 points es-
tablished with comparatively little eff
fort. Repeated cold waves and heavy
mill takings have completely offset any
reports Of active planting operations
and the spot demand has aided the
situation with an advance of 3-16c. These
factors, however, have played 70 an
unappreciative audience. and It Is so
dull that brokers are hardly making the
cost of shoe leather.
