Green & Co.'S report on cotton futures says:
The market was slow and dropping No one
appeared anxious to sell the market off, and
the unloading of long cotton could not be con
siderable, but with the prevailing general indif-
ference on the buying side, offerings were
weighty, and the market succumbed according
ly. rather full movement of supplies was
the prime factor of depressing character.
Values lost about points, closing at the
lowest with the tone slow and somewhat
tame"

CHICAGO, Feb 6.-Aost Of the excitement at
the opening of the hoard was conferred in pro-
visions May pork opened at S14 CO. There was
an immediate drop to S14 SO under selling by a
prominent operator. When lower figure was
reached the same operator offered to buy but
there was little apparent desire to do business
and the pit soon became deserted. Shortly be-
fore noon the pit again livened up under heavy
purchases by several operators, and May pork
picked up to S14 7213 At this figure buying
ceased and enough selling orders appeared TO
almost Immediately break May to S1i g. Later
there were further efforts to market pork, and
May again sold off, closiD at S14 5119. Lard
was in moderate request. May advanced from
S. 90 to 81 9213 and closed at 81 90. Short ribs
were quiet May sold at 81 75d7 80 and closed
at 81 721S The grain markets were firm at the
beginning, but weakened somewhat on receipt
