Messrs. Hubbard. Price & Co X cotton circu-
lar says: Contracts have been more active to-
day on old crop though with hesitatng tone
throughout, and during the greater portion of
the day the range was somewhat lower For
etgn adyiceS at the outset were less cheerful
and prices opened points below yesterday, but
the absence of buying orders seemed TO dis
courage bulliSh efforts and induced free selling
under which values lost further points, June
notices, which appeared today quito freely de-
| pressed the market and increased offerings for
| near positions, faint effort was made toward
the close TO get small reaction, yet the closing
prices show decline of 406 points since es-

CHICAGO, May 25.--The morning trading on
Change was active in grains and very dull In
provisions. Wheat took the lead in interest and
; in strength The opening prices were slightly
| below last nights, and, after just shade al
| vance, prices went Off quite sharply Tor nall an
| hour on realizing by many on yesterdays pur
chases. The decline amounted TO &c in June
34c in July, and 1c in December The moment
| liberal offerings were over prices rebOunded Ii
6Q34c. At this Opportune time rumor that
| a harvesting machine company had reliable
| advices that the winter wheat yield in several
leading States will not be over ~ TO 30 per cent
| of the crop was started and used freely in the
| pit This and other Great ions caused another 4
6l34c advance and Juiy sold NC over the
| lowest point Of the morning, Whlle December
| went TO 9Oc The reac ion which followed when
| the rumor was chased down was just about
| equal TO the advance caused by the statements
| Ia corn local receipts were so large as TO over
| shadow everything else aud caused lower
| range of prices. Receipts to-day were 100 cars
and estimated for Saturday at no cars Over
| IS per cent. Of the receipts this morning graded
