Hubbard, Price & Co S cotton circular to-day
says: "A better feeling, brought about yester
day by the absorption of notices, continued to-
day, and advanced prices at the opening and
still further during the forenoon. Liverpool
was reported steady, with buyers at ad-
vance. Prices here on call showed an improve
ment of 263 points, and increasing faith in the
bull movement, caused by action yesterday,
brought orders from outside, which were to
some extent interrupted by a severe storm.
Much steadlneSs resulted, which continued TO
the close, but apart from this the market was
without feature. The volume of business was
fair, and the room sentiment now leads toward
better prices, solely on the success of the bull
element in advancing prices on notices In
terror movement for the week amounted to

CHICAGO. Feb. 25.-The bullish feeling which
marked the close of the session on Friday was
continued this morning, and trading early was
of very confident character. Liberal export
clearances encouraged wheat buyers, and the
price opened nc over the close at S019c, and
went up to S034c Then came the announce
ment of the New York failure, the significance
of which was not known. May Immediately de-
clined to S03sc. May holders selling out quickly
at loss Half an hour later the market had
reacted 14c, and May closed at S0Ac, the highest
figure OF the day. Corn opened steady at last
nights prices, but light receipts and strength
in wheat helped May from 5136c, the opening
figure, to $3.50. The market was nervous,
however, and when the little scare came May
sold off to 5l0511sc. There was a slight rally
from this point but receipts for Monday were
estimated at AS cars, and prices of May could
not again get above the opening, where it
closed. There was fair activity in oats at the
outset, but prices kept within small range.
and before the close the market dull and
neglected May sold at 3l1sc and 3l3S61311bc,
closing at 31Ac. Provisions were slow but
strong Trading chiefly between local
ScalperS and fluctuations were small, the range
on pork being 1219c, but on lard and short ribs

and advanced prices &c. When they withdrew

716c over inside figures. Sales for May ranged
at S13 9716G114 10, and closed at S14 05. Lard
