GENERAL MARKET REVIEW.
HEAVY INCREASE IN THE ATCHI-
SON'S EARNINGS FOR THE WEEK.
An Active Day With Stocks—Tho Friends
of the Riohmond Terminal Will Advance
Money—Drop in Cotton.

ing easier.

ties had a marked advance.

85%; incomes, ; shares, 44UalvcBton

Atwood Ylolett & Co'i Circular.
New Orleans, Dec. 21.—At wood Violott <fc
Co. say; Futures: Port receipts to-day were
68,000 bales against 59,000 bales this day last
year, making thus far this week 93,000 bales
against 89,000 bales last week and 105,000 bales
this week last year. Tho estimated receipts
hero to-morrow aro 31,000 to 32,000 bales
against 52,000 balos at all ports last year.
Liverpool improved 2-C4d to 3-G4d, closing
barely steady about 1-G4d better than Saturday,
Spot sales aro 12,000 bales at samo quotations,
making tho total 67,000 bales soldthere since
quotations wore reduced to 4^'d on tho
15th instant. Spinners are evidently taking
more cotton than their daily requirements
and it remains to be seen whether the roliof to
spot holders by these sales has been sufllciont
to inako them strong enough to hold now for
higher prices.
The situation on this side, as to the supply,
is that tho movement will largely influence
Liverpool and much attention will also bo
paid to exports from this country, as a ship
cleared from Now Orleans is only eighteen
to twenty-one days getting to Liverpool,
therein cotton afloat becomes practically spot
cotton there. Our market, in nrmptihy with
the improvement abroad, opened 2 to 3 i»oints
higher, but soon lost it and wo closed four
points lower than Saturday. Futures roquiro
new buying power to sustain tho premiums
and must not rely ontircly on tho buying to
cover by shorts. The estimate for port receipts
this win is 960,000 balsa, agiinsi 800,000 last
year.
Interior receipts this week last year wero
188,000 and the weok following 137,000, tho es-
timate this week for interior being at)out 170,-
000. We still say that without increase in spot
prices, premiums are without justification.
The amount of crop that will bo brought into
sight by January 1, now points to about 0,350,-
000 bales.
Spots closed easy. Sales, 4250 bales; quota-
tions unchanged.
F. O. B.—Sales, 2400 bales. As the interior
from some sections is uioro reasonable, tho
movement is consequently largor. Demand is
mainly for middling and above.
I. K. Gleaiiy & Co.'i Circular.
New Ohleans, La., Dec. 21.—fSpecial]—
I. E. Glenny & Co. say: Livori>ool spot sales,
12,000 bales. Demand fair and prices un-
changed. Futuros openod 2-64d higher and
closed barely steady l-64d abovo Saturday.
New York opened 4 points higher und closed
4(a5 points lower.
New ()rleans opened irregular 2@i points
higher and closed 4 points lower thau Satur-
day. Tho improvement in Liverpool and the
largo sales caused a temporary advanco in tho
opening this morning, but tho market began
to deciino almost immediately after tho first
call, and was in buyers' favor at gradually
declining prices until tho close. Tho weak-
ness was caused by cables reporting pur-
chasers in Liverpool being principally on
speculation and not for spinners' account,
and was further increased upon the develop-
ment of the receipts at the ports and tho pros-
pect of largo receipts at Now Orleans to-mor-
row. Later in the day tho market further
weakened on receiving tho reports of tho ro-
ceiptn at Memphis and St. Louis.
Receipts at New Orleans wero 17,000 bales,
and tho estimate for to-morrow is 25,000, pos-
sibly 80,000 balos.
Our si>ot market was easy, with sales of 4000
bales. Cotton to arrive was freoly offered at
easv figures.
Port recoipts since Friday 96,000 bales,
against 89,600 bales samo timo last week and
105,000 bales same tiuio last year.
Ilrltish Grain Trade,
London, Dec. 21.—Tho Mark Lane Express
in its weekly review of tho British grain trado
says:
English wheat dropped 8d during tho week.
Tho doclino was due to tho continued inferior
quality of tho greater part of tho offerings.
Tho prosont deficiency in supplies of foreign
wheat is caused by tho absence of Russian
shipments of 2,000,000 quarters. Tho market,
DOWSVSr, is confident that tin-ShiplOMltS CKOBK
America will entirely cover tho shortage.
Barley is quiet. Oats in bettor demand and
firmer. Corn and beans declined Is. At to-
day's markets foreign wheats wore lower, but
tho price of English wheat was maintained.
Offers of American were large. Flour sold
readily, English preferred. There was little
demand for corn, pending the arrival of tho
American now crop. Oats choaper. Barley
Is lowor.
National stock Yards.
National Stock Yakus, 111., Dec. 21.—
[Special]—Twonty-six oars of southoni Texas
cows in tho yards aud nono of them fat enough
for beef. One train of thin cows was con-
signed direct to slaughterers. Tho general
market is 10 cents lower on all grades. Rich-
ard King, Drlscol, sold 129cows, averagingU72
pounds, at $1 06; 01 calves, 290, at $7 25 |>or

PRODUCE MARKETS.
CHICAGO.
Chicago, 111., Dec. 21.—Wheat—The market
was a trifle firmer at tho opening this morning
than ut tho closo Saturday, and for a timo a
strong market seemed probublo. Cubius reported
V^d advance. Trade howovor was dull aud nar-
row, aud when tho heavy receipts in tho north-
west, togethor with an increaso of 100 carloads in
the recoipts hero became known, eonfidonco soon
became shakon. Tho longs became alarmed and
bogau to unload, and under this pressure there
was a doclino of fully lc from tho opening. Dur-
ing the lust hour there was somo reaction, und
tho closo was steady at some improvement on the
lowest figures. Corn—Quiet aud easy. Offerings
wero considerably over estimates, and tho trade
showed a continued improvement in the condi-
tion of the moving crop. This mado investors
