Messrs Hubbard. Price & Co. S cotton circu-
| lar of to-day says: Trading in cotton GER
| thcates remains limited, and we had again to-
| Gay very dull market. The opening showed
203 points decline since last night, and with
| very little business doing, ruled steady, AMI
| closed without any change to speak Of 1t
| seems that unfavorable influences recently
| brought on the market are discounted to
| great extent. Even to-day, when receipts show
such full movement, prices could not be
| shaded below opening figures, and although
during the present dullness of trade there is an
| entire absence of buying orders, there is marked
hesitation to sell the market short. The demand
| for export continues good and to-days official
| sales report again 800 bales"

a. m. After the second dip to s0ssc May sold
| up to size At this point big traders took hold
| and another nc was added during the closing
minutes of the session and before the afternoon
a decidedly stronger feeling prevailed, May
| night, a range of 313c for the day. The forces
| at work appeared to be a revivel OF the crop
| scare, talk Of delayed seeding in the Northwest
| etc. Corn was fairly active and rather unset
| tied. The opening sales were 3sc below the
| close yesterday, followed by decline of &c.
| Upon the decline a better demand was devel-
| oped and the market recovered advancing &c
