Hubbard. Price & Co Is cotton circular says:
The opening report from Liverpool showed
but little change, and prices here have been un-
affected by the news from foreign markets. On
the opening prices for Angus. was bid up to
10 95c, ut which figure q prominent operator,
supposed to be identified with the clique, parted
with 1850 bales. The ultimate outcome of the
manipulation is still uncertain, but the impress
sion prevails that the present range of prices
for August delivery will doubtless be sustained
as much from mater of personal pride as
from anything else. New or d have been q
shade easier upon the receipt of slightly more
favorable southern advieeS. From some parts
of Alabama we heard this morning by wire that
the movement will be specially early one; but,
on theothsr hand, our upland correspondents
say that receipts during September with them
will hardly be 50 per cent of last year The
quality OF the crop, so faS as present receipts
Indicate, is not up 10 that OF last season. Spot
trade here ls quiet at quotations, cotton beng
difficult to sell, and sellers holding OFF till the
August deal shall be more thing of the past"

CHICAGO, Aug 27.-The greatest action in
wheat for the session was during the first hour
when it sold within nc range. The news on the
opening was beariSh to the extent that it was
not especially bullish. There appears from
early cables TO be letup in the demand abroad
and an easier feeling in British markets The
news from the northwest was very good. Bull
news was confined to particular localities while
private advices caused general belief that the
damage from the frost was not serious enough
to warrant any great bulge in wheat over 90c.
There were many VINO were bulls for long run
on the foreign situation, who did not feel that
they could accomplish much more on that side
until there was further reaction and until the
bearsh feeling was over. There was lower
opening and further break in prices early,
when another cent decline was brought about.
The crowd became very cautious about selling
September short, and bulls easily braced it up
again. September sold at soc. down a fraction
to 5S75c, up to 9Ossc, back to $3.50 and then up
nc on blVlSuoio supply iBuioS, anu dSalH DUCK
to 90c. Wheat closed fairly firm at the best
figures, with September at 903sc, or sc higher
than at the close on Saturday Corn was only
moderately active, and the feeling developed
was weaker. The market opened NC lower than
the closing prices of Saturday, huctuated within
166156c range and closed 14c lower than Satur-
day. The market was governed by local infu-
ences. There was moderate trade in oats at
slightly lower prices influenced by weakness
and large estimated receipts for tomorrow
Prices for future deliveries declined l4@ssc and
cents over the opening and 30c over Saturdays
closing, and resting at / O'Clock at the top
St4 s5 for October. Hogs at the yards came in
very poor in quality and ran the market up in
their efforts to cover. Lard and ribs were strong
in sympathy with pork, but much less active.
October lard closed at % 321s and short ribs at
IS Az.
