Green Co report on cotton futures says:
1t was regular Saturday market, with trade
light, tone easy, and no unusually significant
feature brought out, Cable advices from abroad
were tame and fraction lower. and this,
together with disposition to look for some
what fuller receipts next week. checked the de-
mand, and induced the small local longs to
close out. with the offering increased by quite
run of selling orders from Liverpool. Large
operators were absent, and apparently lndit-
ferent toward the immediate market. Prices
declined some 800 points from last evening;
closing at the lowest, with the tone rather
slack"

CHICAGO. Jan 2s.-The bulk of trading on
Change to-day was done during the first hour.
Many of the smaller operators tailed on late
Yesterday who had not the courage to carry
their deals over to next week The first thing
this morning was grist of small realizing sales,
which sent prices down sc in wheat, 14c in
corn, about sc for ribs and 15c in mess pork.
This was accomplished before 1890 a m. and
for two hours following the pits were duller
than at any time since the year began. The &C
ton of the wheat market toward the close was
very treacherous Thirty minutes before the
close bears moved on the pit again and prices
went down Sac per bushel from the first sales of
the day 1t was purely a local scramble, how
ever. and in no way indicated further feeling
in wheat May wheat opened at $3.50, sold at
S23sc, reacted to S23sc aud during the second
squirt of the bears broke to and closed at $3.50
SIC. Corn was weak and heavy from the open
ing to the closing. Selling began by realizing,
as in the wheat pit, and. after dizziness most of
the session, there was quite a sharp decline of
5Sm3lc before the close. This was started by
the discovery that the buyers of yesterday were
not attempting to support the market. and by
the further discovery that several prominent re-
ceivers were sellers. Then there was the former
disposition to pound prices and it was not diff
cult under the circumstances. May corn opened
at $3.50 and sold down to the closing figures,
525S053c. There was a bearish feeling In oats,
as in other grains There was some demand for
January, and sales were at 304c. May opened
at 1880 and closed at 33c. Provisions were also
were sellers to-day. and, there being insufficient
support, weaker feeling developed and sharp
declines were recorded, last sales being at inside
figures and recorded loss of &c on pork and
10c on lard May pork opened at S14 20 declined
and closed at S14 80 May lard broke from s. 70
to s. 5. Short ribs remained quiet, with sales
of May at 81 75G17 IS.
