Hubbard Price & Co.'S cotton circular says
Stimulated by Liverpool advices, which irdi-
Gated an advance thereof of about points, our
market opened 3G15 points up, and continued
steady with some activity to the close. A glance
at to-day's prices shows that what little gain
has occurred has been in favor of later options,
and this is accounted for by the fact that much
low grade cotton is now pointing this way, and
in anticipation of its delivery on October con
tracts has tendency to check any advance in
that months option News from the south is
less discouraging."

excitement at times. Shorts, infiu-

disposition TO sell at least to SOC short, though
some realizing on some long wheat occurred,
and had 1t not been for this prices would have
run still higher At times offerings were light,

quiet and unchanged markets, and the opening
here steady at about Saturdays closing,
became strong and advanced leG156c, then eased
off trifie and ruled steady for awhile but later
rallied sharply on active buying, which started
shorts to covering, and prices with some fluctua-
lions were advanced 2s5c for December, which
is the leading future. above early or inside
prices. The cause for this sudden advance was
very dull news received from the northwest
Duluth. where wheat was excited
and higher, with quotations for May several
cents above the New York market, advces
from the northwest, and an active competition
between mills for offerings of choice wheat.
Another feature which aided materially in
the market was decrease in the
visible supply. Operators had calculated upon
an increase, but the blackboard figures showed
that the increase would be light, and might
possibly show a decrease long before the actual
result was posted. The marset held firm at the
closing about &c higher for October,
