 New Orleans, April "A further recess sion In values was established today as a result of unfavorable cables from Liverpool Spots inthe English market were reduced seven points and sales were only 5000 bales. and futures there ruled easier at a decline of about two to three points. A steadier market was expected of Liverpool hv American operators because of the firm ness of New York yesterday. but 1t is prob able that a bearish construction was placed upon developments over the holidays.
 Sentiment in the English market and on the continent of Europe seems to have changed since the publishing of the census report showing practically 13,300. 900 bales ginned this season, as mall and cable ad- vices of late from abroad are less bullish. and many give vent to their feelings in expressions unfavorable to the future course of cotton

 The smaller spot sales noted at Liverpool lately and the smaller demand for cotton in the South. it being hard to effect sales confirm these reports as would the falling off in spinners takings when compared with dtCepIanCeS dL tnlS tune one year dBo Ar to the claim that there has occurred re- action In the trade of the world. nGyices from the dry goods market of New York. yesterdays report stating that there has been some recessions in prices. would serve to corroborate advices from Europe. That there has come 2 change. new conditions af- fecting the market unfavorably there is no doubt. cotton as well all commodities and values having suffered directly or in directly in consequence of the great shrink age in values In the United States tu which all the world is interested
 The only salvation which the future holds out is the possibility of good crops in Amer ica this season, and In that event if they be favorable to a large production of cOt- ton 1t can only be reflected in a lower market on account of the immense visible and probably large invisible supply of Amer ican cotton.
 Whereas, on the other hand. if untavor- able be the promise of cereal and staple crops in the United States the money in- terests throughout the world will probably remain unsettled for the want Of confidence and be more or less draw back to the speculative markets by discouraging msnip- ulation. The depression in Wall Street, its epormity, has hardly been realized.

 New Orleans, April 2.-The Liverpool Board shows an idle market. Spot sales amount to total of but 5000 bales at seven points lower quotations and futures are about three points lower than due. Near ly all correspondence from the other side now coming to hand contains complaints about declines in business and even demand for low grades from Belgium. one of the largest consumers of such qualities. is re- ported stopping. Dry goods report on our side are less rosy. and some recession in Our market opened about six points lower. trading limited and mostly confined to pro- fessional scalpins operations based on obser- walton and news about the price movement of the May option fin New York through which a clique controls that market How long this support can be successfully con- situation of cotton goods is hard to say. The daily increase in tho stock of cotton in New York showing that low cotton is being shipped there. is not strengthening the position of this long interest.
 The cold wave Is passing out eastward and some low temperatures are recorded In the eastern states. but hardly lower than those of May 10th last year. It is warmer in the central and Western States and further showers arc indicated during the next 4S hours.
 The market both in spots and futures was dull during the afternoon. Buying or ders are scarce conditions are too plain ly against the long side and people are mostly waiting for the result of the liquid ation of the accumulated long interest in
 
 No buying plan this season, whether nf actual cotton or In futures for speculation has been based upon A crop over 1S,000, 900.
