hubbard. Price & Co.'S cotton circular says
The Liverpool market showed an advance this
morning OF partially point, and prices opened
from SOD points up. The market on the whole
lacked vigor, but though prices had receded a
trif1e from the opening, the close was quoted
steady The reason for the better showing in
the early part of the day was found in reports
OF carnage in the south AS the day wore on,
| however private dispatches from the south in
dicated that tho reports were exaggerated An
easier feeling began to gain ground, which &C
counted for the slight decline noted at the close.
Our own dispatches are of varied character but
apart from the acknowledged irretrieYabe loss
i'll South Carolina, it seems to be conceded that
favorable weather from now on go far toward
fulfilling earlier expectations. The movement
reported to-day, 10000 bales, is very fair under
the circumstances. and the inference is that
railroad communication, once fully restored,
cotton will come forward in considerable abun
dance"

CHICAGO Sept l7.-The opening on Change
to-day was remarkable for activity in Ill
quarters, and unusual strength in most of the
leading articles of trade and speculation. Liver
pool differed from London and the continent in
sending easy cables on wheat, while the reverse
was trueon Saturday. Northwest was response
BILE for sensational strength in October wheat.
At Duluth there was O bulge of &c from the
close OF last week. The market was whirl
from the start. October shot up to 9S}sc early,
and December advanced to $3.50 Then there
reaction of about nc, and again Decem-
Der went up to 0314c. with second decline to
9314c. After the visible supply figures were
given out. Later in the session oil natural in
iuences were disregarded, aud December was
put to 9sSbc fifteen minutes before the close
making an advance of &c for the session. Wheat
closed at o o'clock at 94c for December; other
futures closed: September 95lsc October 955kc,
May 97Ac. A fair speculative trade was re-
ported in corn, and TIE feeling developed was
steady. Opening sales were at Saturday
closing prices and firm, and gradually advanced
sc reacted Nc, advanced a5c, ruled steady and
closed L0skc higher than Saturday The
market opened contrary TO the expectations of
many operators, offerings being rather limited
and prices were advanced mainly on covering
by shorts Oats were steady to firm. Receipts
were considerably above Saturdays estimate
but there was a good shipping demand, and wet
weather tended TO stimulate a firm feeling
for the better grades. Ordinary qualities of No
? are not improved. Mess pork was fairly
active at the opening. stronger feeling de-
veloped, and prices advanced sharply. Opening
sales were 21h023c above Saturdays closing ;
appreciated 2Oc on October and 71hc on
january, reacted slightly, and closed steady
Lard was the most attractive article on the
speculative list of provisions. Holders were not
disposed 10 sell, but shorts we're exceedingly
anxious to cover their October contracts, and
began bidding spiiitedly Opening sales were
at l0c advance. and were bid up 10 421bc by
brokers' who only succeeded in getting 500
tierces More deferred futures came in for
active, and the close showed good advances.
