Messrs Hubbard Price & Co. s cotton crcu
| lar of to-day says: "Our cotton market showed
| a decidedly better tone to-day, in response to
more favorable foreign advices. Under brisk
demand to cover contracts for home and Euro.
peaD accounts, prices reacted sharply, and
| show a net gain of about points above last
| nights closing. In view of approaching holi-
| days here and in Liverpool, our local bears were
| eager buyers to close their outstanding engage
ments, SO much more as handsome profits could
| be secured. A very pronounced factor of to-
| day IS session the widening of difference. A
very liberal number of April notices were
issued. which forced holders to transfer their
| interest into far months, and the demand there
| by created had to be filled at increased pre-
miums. There is good demand from Man
chester, and free inquiry on the part of ex-
| porterS. Spots are 1-lbc higher, IN sympathy
| with futures"

| CHICAGO March 27-On the whole there was n
very excellent day of trading on Change. The
| markets opened with fractiOnally higher prices
for all leading articles on the floor. Buying
| was of a vigorous character, and very material
advances were made during the first hour in
| the grain pits Before noon reactions followed,
and at midday prices were very near the
closing points Of last night, but the reaction
was followed by another advance, and the
closing prices we're about the best Of the day.
Traders in wheat kept little account Of outside
| information. They were busy watching each
| other. There good active market, but il
was purely Chicago market and the pit made
its own price. Coru showed unmiStakeable
signs of frmneSs on the curb this morning after
the &c advance yesterday afternoon. Argu-
| ments appeared TO be- on the side Of the bulls
| carly Some outside orders came in TO buy
| Very few cars OF No. corn were received, and
| the general eagerness TO purchase gave a sharp
| uptnrn TO the market during the first hour.
Trading was brisk, and large lots from SIC, the
opening price for May, up to 521fc, the top for
the session After a time the price declined to
! &c, and at that point sellers became excited.
| and prices went quickly down 70 81 he. Then
there was a rally. and the closing price was 524
523sc. Oats showed a substantial improvement
