New Orleans Cotton Market.
New Orleans, May 6.-The cotton flu
ture market opened quiet at decline of
to points on poor cables. news of the
illness of the King of England and pros
poets of rain In the cotton belt. There
was little business in the early trading,
both sides being in waiting attitude
and watching for developments. The
weakness of English consols made the
bulls timid, but the bears did not show
much courage chiefly because of the fact
that rain has been promised In the cot
ton country three days in succession
without any precipitation worth mention
ing. By the end of the first half hour
of trading July was s points under yes
terdays closing and October was under.
Toward the middle of the morning.
prices recovered October selling up to the
level of yesterdays closing, and July up
to within points or that level. InlS was
due to nervousness among shorts over the
probability of bullsh weekly statistics.
The pointer to the weeks into sight was
$4,000 to $4,000 bales, against 1880 bales
this week last year. 94,6os two years ago
and 106,0s9 three years ago.
Bulls made no attempt to force prices
higher and at noon the market was quiet
and steady at net decline of to 5
points, prices having fallen off again
under very moderate liquidation from the
long side.
Cables from English cotton firms stat
ing that the condition of King Edward
was worse and critical, held prices down
during the early afternoon and put them
off to the lowest levels of the day again
The visible supply statement, howevar
was even more bullish than expected and
| balanced to a great extent, the news
| from across the water. Spinners' takings
| for the week were put at 232, 900 bales
against 100000 this week last year and
216,000 this week two years ago The Wis
ible supply decreased during the week 1885,
159 bales, against a decrease this week
last year of .79 bales and decrease
this week two years ago of 120,6s2. At 2
o'clock prices we're to points up from
the bottom. The market closed steady at
net decline of 8 to points
