Green & Co s report on cotton futures says
Some local trading took place, but there was
| practically no new business, and a very stupid
| market throughout. Indeed, the fluctuations
amounted to only a point or two, and at the
close rates were much the same as last even
| ing with the tone DUH no one caring to make
| any fresh deal until after the holiday. The
| outsiders were without special significance, the
estimate of Neil Brothers at 6,SjOOOO bales
| having been discounted yesterday aud the crop
movement running about in accord with estl-
mates. The South continues To offer freely at
1910 laid down In Liverpool, but finds very in
| different response"

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-There was a continuation
of slow and unnterestng deals in the grain pits
on Change to day. All the markets were largely
controlled by prominent operator Wheat
opened this morning where il closed last night,
and closed about where it opened The range
for the season was inside of SIC, and the pit was
dull at best and mt time lifelesS The operator
mentioned buyer at S034c for May, and
the price consequently kept slightly above that
price most of the time. Corn was manipulated
largely by the same operator This trader
walked into the pit occasionally, and told the
crowd to put down all the corn they wanted to
sell at 5l3sc. His agents were sellers when it
touched 5l@c. Any natural action of the
market was impossible under the circumstances
Oats were not traded in to any great extent,
and fluctuations were in small range, prices
| exhibiting no material change For time the
chief interest was in the provision crowd, where
a bear raid was III progress. Mess pork opened
at S14 %, and was pounded down to Sl4 There
was general selling of pork by commission
| houses and spectators, ami an indsposition of
buyers to take hold except after IA decline of
BIC. Ii is believed in certain quarters that the
largest holders have unoaled and retired from
the market, letting it la care of itself. On the
other hand, it noticed that parties who
have bought literally on all recent breaks were
in the market at Sl4 and purchased nearly
; 10000 barrels around S1i for May. May closed
at a decline of 10c from yesterdays best sales.
Lard broke 5G91l1c, but closed 2l6c above inside
figures Trading was considerably lighter.
short ribs broke i0c under free offerings by a
big scalper.
Cash quotations were as follows: Flour
