Green & Co s report on cotton futures says:
THE general turn of the market has again been
upward, with further addition made to values.
The attendance of leading bull operators appar-
emily taking care of tho surplus offering was q
considerable factor in the stimulating feeling,
but probably the most influence came from
abroad. Liverpool was higher and firmer. The
advance was 7dS points, closing at about the
highest and very well supported"

| CHICAGO, Feb 9.-After steady decline for
the past three days, and heavy short selling Of
Yesterday the crowd were in the humor Of buy
ing for an up turn. The weather was very cold
throughout the West and Northwest and local
receipts were light. Wheat corn and oats
| opened 14c higher There was slight decline
| from early prices on the announcement Of
| Benslev Brothers failure. May wheat declined
from S034a S05sc to S019c, but Immediately re-
covered, and advanced to S1tsGsl44c. The de
cline was caused by short selling by scalperS on
| the theory that a big line would come over
| board When the stuff failed to come out the
shorts began to cover, and caused an advance.
| Toward the close prices again weakened
| slightly, May closing at Sic. Corn was fairly
active and somewhat stronger. The tendency
was upward from the start until the Bensley
failure was announced, when the scare caused a
drop of a few points, May touching 5016c. As
soon as the furry was over the demand was
again felt, and prices moved upward again
May closed at 511sc. Oats were again quite
| active for MAY. There was more or less
realizing, and the fact of there having lately
; been a liberal decline bringing prices down 10
within 202Lsc of the lowest point that May
oats have touched, created also a very fair
speculative demand. Provisions were steadier,
but changes in prices were small and mostly in
favor Of holders Receipts of hogs were fair
