Messrs. Hubbard. Price & Co. s cotton circu-
lar says: our market opened 209 points bet
ter, but free selling orders to realize profits
ana the large circulation of May notices issued
this morning had depressing influence and
prices declined 400 points. Towards noon
more steady tone set in Some minor short en-
gagements were covered, based on the fact that
notlces were taken care of and the market re-
covered about two points from the lowest
reached, closing steady and virtually unchanged
from last night We have again to report
very fair demand for spots and the sales to-day
reach 1872 bales, of which 756 bales were for
export and 436 bales for spinning"

CHICAGO, April 26.-There was fair activity
| and good interest at the opening on Change to-
| day In wheat and corn transactions were
| largely changes from May to other options. and
| indicators were placed on June option. Prices
| opened higher for grains and lower for provis-
| ions. Operators in wheat who are looked to for
| either break or bulge were doing little; while
changing trades from May to other futures had
weakening tendency, and there were reports
| of light rains in some Western States vet the
controlling influence appeared to be the damage
already done crops and the general drought
prevailing which every day tends to iniure the
crops. Exports claim that a sudden change to
warm DAYS without rain would put an end to
the idea of even half crop in many States
The Cincinnati Price Current now estimates
the percentage in Illinois and Michigan at G6
and Indiana at 70. The market for most of the
session did not get beyond 15c advance from
last nights closing. Primary receipts were too
large 300, 900 bushels, and export cearances too
small, 2l.000 bushels at New York Trading
was very largely local and of scalping nature
The situation in corn was quite interesting aud
is likely to become more SO as trade approaches
May /. The stock of contract corn in store here
is small, and wheIsRn attempt is made to pur-
chase for May there is little for sale Receipts
were fair at 222 cars with 23S cars promised for
Friday. Although opening prices were identi-
cal with last night, there was an upward tend
ency during most of the session. There was
sharp little bulge in oats. Dry weather started
some buying and this demand with buying by
shorts and also by a large holder, advanced May
from 32156p33c. Part of this advance was lost
however, May closing at 3216c and June at
321sc. Provisions were slow and weaker, owing
to good receipts of hogs. There were no out.
side buying orders for the product, and transac-
tions were confined to local traders who evinced
more disposition to transfer old contracts from
near to distant deliveries than 10 make new
trades. Prices were confined to q narrow
range, but the average was lower. May pork
sold at S13 600 - G21a, and closed at Sl3 CO.
