C.L. Green & Co., in their report on cot
ton futures. say: "Stmulated by better
lone at Liverpool, both as to spot and con
tracts, our market opened firm and advanc-
ing, with gain secured OF some SSgS points,
portion Of the demand coming from wan
street. At the figures reached, however, quite
a proportion of the longs were ready and a
little ANXIOUS to liqHldate, causing fHu re-
action. with the close weak at about saturday
evenings figures. The room is hesitating,
but apparently not bullish at the movement"

CHICAGO. March I5.-Improved cables
made the wheaC crowd feel very bullish inn
medately after the opening to-day. May
started at $3.50, touched 661<c, and feil to $50
assoc. The decline was rapid and steady.
Pork was to blame for the downward start in
wheat, but after that it did not heed this
dragging influence. Lester, hdrIdge. and
others tried to stop the break, but ineffec-
tuaIy. Wall street was a big seller until
about noon. On Change the Invisible situa-
ton also helped the weakness. The decrease
was reduced to as low as 100000 bushels.
Many put 1t at $50, coo bushels. From bottom
prices wheat Improved 1sdll4c. ana at p no
closed quiet at decline Of lie from Saturday.
The provision market all day was active, and
dragged everything else down with It. The
opening was steady, but II remained so only
moment, and thereafter ruled decidedly
weak. The drop aggregated 30c per barrel.
There was rumOr at one time that the COM
bnation was broken, and was unloading its
enormous holdings, but this could not be
traced to any reliable source, and failed to re-
ceive much credence, and the generally ac-
cepted theory was that IL was being pounded
by or in the interest of Armour. The pit
was unusually well filed throughout The
morning, though no undue excitement pre-
vailed. Later the market recovered &c, and
at p. m. closed easy.
