Messrs. Hubbard. Price & Co. s cotton circu-
lar says: I'm response to Liverpool advices our
market opened 3@4 points better and fully held
up to the close. yet the bulk of business con-
sisted mostly Of exchanges between June and
August, and the small total of to-dayS sales
represented very few orders either to invest or
cover shorts. The movement of the crop re-
mains full. To-day's receipts are almost double
last year. Spots remain in very active demand,
and to-day's record shows a gain. Sales of 1875
bales, of which 200 were for export and ,475
bales for consumption"

CHICAGO. April 2S.-There was promise Of
higher prices and active markets during the
opening hour on Change, but the reaction be-
fore noon caused dullness. There was little
news, except old news in wheat regarding dam
aged crops There was no buying for export,
and the bears still reiterated that even the
worst crop news has been discounted. Never
theleSs, wheat prices had an upward tendency
There was no very large trading, but a great
deal of exchanging and Scalping, which made a
fairly active session in the wheat pit. Large re-
ceipts at the Northwest and light Gle frances
warranted the belief that there will be little, if
any, decrease in the visible supply for the week.

June sold at 5419@55c, closing at 543sc. The
lowest prices of the day were caused by a very
liberal estimate of 1856 cars for Monday Oats
were quiet to-day. There was an early advance
in sympathy with wheat and corn, but after
changing over small range the market closed
at a slight advance. May closed at 32s6Gl 3216c
and June at 32s6c. In provisions there was no
unusual change. Cash property met with COM
paratively fair demand, but the speculation In
