New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, April 14.-Spot cotton was easy, 1-16c down on all grades. Mddling, 10,sc. Sales were 145O bales on the spot and 150 to arrive.
 Futures opened steady, 8 to ' points be- low the close yesterday, as a result of an unfavorable Liverpool. Soon after the opening ftDures were steadier by the dis position of shorts to accept profits in anticipation of bad weather in the belt. The market was narrow and fluctuations barely covered 10 points. The dullness in the spot market with lower prices served as bearish factor in the future market. At the close, which was steady, the ac- tive months were to 10 points below the close yesterday.
