Hubbard. Price 6 Co.'S cotton circular says:
'LNGrljOo TINS morning was reported strong
at better prices and under this influence our
market showed improvement at the opening.
This was met. however, by rather free selling
from the South, supposed to be against gIano
cotton, and prices declined slightly, though the
close was very steady. In Louisiana and Mis-
siSsippi continued rain is said to be working
considerable damage, and the outlook in thaS
re non seems less favorable"

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The wheat market opened
as a very tame bear to-day, but later developed
lntO q roaring QUILL. Inc CrOWQ appeared 10 De
without motive early There was an easier
state of affairs reported by cable abroad. There
were selling orders from the country. Export
ers only looked on, but the great quantity Of
long wheat was regarded as against the market.
Shorts at New York counteracted early selling
and helped the rally. December started at
9216c, went off to 912sc, rallied to 921c and up
to noon it looked as il the day would reduce it,
Then there were late cables giving more rain
and firmer markets in the Kingdom. There
were more cables confirming the bull news from
the northwest. Those who started to buy found
wheat scarce. In thirty minutes the price of
December went from 9214c to 9314c, and bulls
could not get it fast enough. Some realizing
put it back to 93c, and again it went up to 93l4c
was down from 9S4c early to 9216c. Wheat
closed active at about the outside price of the
day, with 931SG9314c for December. The feat
ure of the closing was the report of the commits
sioner of agriculture for Dakota putting the
percentage of the crop at zoe and making the
yield not to exceed twelve bushels per acre.
This is even worse than the government figures
Corn opened easier with wheat, and because
frost, which was predicted, did not occur. The
opening price for the month was 4f34 Q14i3Sc,
and the close was at 44l5c. October started at
445Sc, touched 1850 early, reacted to 441sdQ43c.
and closed at 441Ic. Oats were dull and weak,

14Qls6c lower. There was pressure to sell
September pork at the opening, and that article
started a little lower, though lard and ribs
opened about as they closed last night. First
figures were the lowest of the day. and the mar
ket soon rallied resting finally 501Oc higher for
pork, 15c higher for September and October

about the best figures of the day.
