Greene Co.'S cotton future reoort SAYS;
"a stronger tone prevailed, aud on the bust-
ness done an advance Of lOt0l2 points was
made. The demand, however, was prlncl-
paly local, and came in part from orders
waiting a chance for a rise. and in part from
sellers of the past two or three days, with the
result to be found in winding up of most of
the weak shorts interest and partial reaction
before the close, the final tone showing barely
steady"

| CHICAGO. Dec. 1.-THE tone was quite
| heavy in wheat at the opening on Change
| this morning, owing to the showing OF heavy
receipts here and at Northwestern points.
| The starting point for May delivery was
s51.c, but cables coming in strong caused
rally to SEC, and the market sold rather firm
about this figure until near clock. when
offerings became more than usually heavy
and steady decline to SIS &c followed. On the
afternoon board values continued to recede,
MAY touching S42sc ami closing for the daI
at S5c. The feeling was heavy at the close.
There was q moderate shipping inquiry for
corn, and the temper of he market was
strong early in the session, with good specu-
lative buying, and prices advanced &c. but
fell bac1 again with wheat, and closed at
about Yesterdays figures. oats ruled steady
ami stronger ,ry, but fell back and closed
heavy at yesterdays figures, Provisions
were active and stronger owing t. light re-
ceipts of hogs. Mess pork opened 5(g71ac
higher, advanced 10c additional, but receded
again, and closed a shade higher than yester
day. Lard ruled 21ag5 points higher and
snort ribs 71@@l0 higher.
