NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Aug. lS.--Spot cotton was quiet with prices unchanged Middlng l0c. Sales were 15O bales on the spot and 5s arrive.
 Futures opened steady. 14 to I7 points below the close of yesterday, as a result of a decidedly disappointing Liverpool and bear pressure in New York and elsewhere. The factor which brought about a subSe- quent advance was the persistent report that rain which had fallen in Texas was not sufficient to allay the conditions cans- ed the hot, dry weather previously report ed.
 Later the weekly weather report of the government somewhat encouraged the same idea. as 1t was less favorable than the re- port of last week. Bulls made he most of the opportunity offered them and the active future monhs were slowly pushed back to better levels. although ahe early losses were never fully recovered. At the close which was firm, the active months were 10 points below the close of yesterday.
