Messrs. Hubbard. Price & Co. s cotton circu-
lar OF to-day says: Notwithstanding unfavor-
able Liverpool accounts, with futures closing
easy at decline of I'd to 3-64d, our market
has shown day sustaining tendency. Open
ing 3G4 points below last night, there was
desire to lower short engagements, partly by
prominent bears who have been selling for New
Orleans account, but principally by local opera
tors. who as a rule wind up their deals with the
close of the week. Little more business was
done in new crop and prices were well main
tanned. The market closed steady at a fraction
above the lowest prices of to-day, yet 3 points
below yesterday

CHICAGO. April I'm the wheat pit to day
the order of previous days was reversed Dull
ness came early, and an active market and
higher prices before the close. The opening
prices were slightly better than the latest on
Friday and the tendency was upward The
points in favor of the bulls were Berlin advices,
damaging crop reports large export clearances,
and the ease with which shorts were scared to
cover. The best estimates gave the decrease
in the visible supply for the week at $50, 900 to
1850, 900 bushels. Sales of May were at 1516c to
open, then up to 76ssc, and back to 761sc After
II 0 clock there was a second bulge on good
general buying, and May went firmly up to
1850 7634c, and closed at the outside point of
the day. Corn closed at an advance of 16Gl3sc
over last night The opening was marked by
fractional better prices. and this was followed
by some buying. Then there was some
realizing and shorts swing, which caused a re-
action to opening price. The second advance
set in about II O'Clock, and caused shorts to
cover at a loss Firmness continued to the
close, and last prices were about the best for
the day. The strength toward the close was
partly due to outside orders for July. which of
course helped other futures Local receipts
were little beyond eXpectationS-150 cars,
Oats did not respond did the other grain
markets, and sales OF May ranged from 302kc
to 311sc, closing at 311Ac. June closed at 3056c.
There was closing up on July, which at one
time was but 4c under May, but the closing
was at 3034c, or sc higher for the day. Trading
in pork was moderately active but chiefly be-
tween professionals, two buying and one
selling. After a stump of 10c, prices were bid
1c over yesterdays last sales. May ranged at
SO 25 and S13 a. anu closed at S13 42G13 as.
Short ribs were active, and stronger feeling
developed, and prices advanced 716c, closing at
the top a net gain of sc over yesterday. May
sold at s. 80 and So 90, and closed at Sc 81.
