New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, October 29.-Spot cotton quiet and unchanged; mddling, Sc; sales l125 bales on the spot and 450 to arrive.
 Futures opened quiet at decline of to points. The lower tendency of the market was induced wholly by liqui- dation from the long side, which was evening up over the coming holidays and election. Liverpool was fairly good and the weather was bad but continued sell ing by longs during the morning caused prices to sag off from the opening level until they were to Il points under the closing of yesterday. Around noon some thing of a recovery was seen and in the afternoon session the market was steadier. At the close, which was steady, prices were to points lower than at yester- days close.
 This market will close Saturday noon not to reopen until Wednesday morning.
