Hubbard. Price & Co.'S cotton circular says:
The market gave way sharply at the opening:
declining from 507 points on the cessation OF
the foreign demand more brilliant crop reports
and very heavy interior movement at the south
During the day prices were again worked up
owing TO the frost rumors from Fort Smtn,
Ark. After the close, howeve-, somewhat
easier tone prevailed"

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-There was more doing in
wheat to-day, but trading was decidedly local
| and the market strong. The unexpected again
| happened to-day. Operators had gone no ne
yesterday prepared for a break in prices to-day,
| out instead sharp rally occurred lmme-
diateIy from the start good demand existed,
and although there some trading at &c
| below Yesterdays closing prices responded TO
| the demand, and advanced with some 1uctua-
| lions 415c for December and 2Hc for May; buy
| ing was apparently confined principally TO De-
| cember when accounted for that future being
| carried 2ISc over May. Shorts naturally started
! to cover and the price was helped along no
| doubt by other buying. The market held up
well to the advance, and the closing was 31sc
higher for December and 1870 higher for May
| than the closing figures of yesterday. Specula-
| tive trading in corn was on a limited scale, the
market ruling quiet and inactive the entire
session. There was very little, If any, outside
| business of consequence transacted, ana sole
| operators were not disposed 10 trade to any
| tent among themselves Tho market on the
I whole was quite featureless, and ruled more
| quiet than for some time past. The opening
| was about the same as the closing prices OF
Yesterday, after which it ruled dull and neg
| lected and closed lac better than yesterday.
Oats were almost entirely neglected, vita no
| fluctuations worth mentioning. Buyers OF
mess pork took hold fairly at the opening.
Offerings were small and the feeling rather
bulsh. Interest centcred in January, and first
sales were at NC advance, sold up 216c, aud
declined 12Isc. rallied 418c reacted and closed
steady at a small advance over yesterday. Lard
was quiet and steady, with no particular pres
sure to buy or sell. In short rib sides the bulk
OF interest centered in January, but trading
only reached moderate volume. \ steady
feeling prevailed, and prices ruled steady.
