COMMIRCIAL.I OFFICE NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT. I Saturday Evening. Feb. . 1878. GENERAL REMARKS - The weather was clear and cool. The reports of the condition of the Cotton markets at Liverpool and New York showed up a slight shade better, and the mar ket closed hero steady and unchanged, with sales amounting to 7e00 bales. Flour has commenced to evidence an upward tendency, though no quotable change has taken place as yet in prices. The feeling, though, is evidently stronger. This fact has produced, to day. a comparatively active trade, with sales of 3700 bbls. There was a shipment of 1000 bbls to Liverpool. and if we are correctly informed there are other movements of the same kind in course of arrangement. The market for sugar is active and firm for all grades suitable to Eastern and Western markets. Receipts 113 hhlds; sales 1112 hhds. The demand is large for molasses, and the market continues strong. Receipts 1512 bbls; sales 1477 bbls. COTTON-Only a fair business was done in cotton to-day. At the opening, and generally throughout the day. the demand was good Liverpool was firm in spots, and quiet and steady on arrivals at 1-32 advance. The only variation at New York was the loss of one point on futures. Under the advices the market closed steady and unchanged, with sales amounting to 7T00.
