Green & Co. S report on cotton futures says:
ut has been a moderate day for cotton certifi-
Gates with great deal of irregularity Of values,
but no particularly exciting feature. There did
not appear to be much interest manifested by
leading operators and business was in conse-
quence confined largely to local scalping for
quick turns as changes in temper might seem
to warrant, and, on the whole, the undercurrent
proved rather tame, bulls acting rather tired
again, and at the close business was quiet and

CHICAGO, Jan. 12-The grain markets were
almoA featureless to-day. interest being chiefly
conferred in the provision markets. Both corn
and wheat opened a trte firmer. with trading
very limited ScalperS had the field pretty
much to themselves throughout the day. On
the afternoon session the market improved
somewhat May corn opened at 531Sc, and kept
between that figure and 54c until just Defore
the close, when it reached the highest figure of
the day. Oats sold within 14c range. Provis
ions opened very weak. May pork started in
421bc lower at SIS IS. The receipts of hogs were
larger than anticipated, and prices log 90c
lower. The pork pit was well filed at the start
and the pressure TO sell was heavy. In the first
fifteen minutes trading in May pork broke to
SIS, and during the next hour was rather
nervous between SIS 00G)15 10. A great deal Of
pork was marketed on country stop orders, as
well as considerable amount held by the local
longs Lard opened nc off at 81 90 for May,
but instead OF declining it firmed up The pro
vision market recovered from the effect of the
early raids and PORK was back again to SIS Is
before the close of the morning session, while
there were large amounts Of stuff for sale on
the way. There enough buying by the
short interest TO cause recovery to opening
prices. The market for all products held strong
during the morning session, and closed con
sdprably above first prices.
