Messrs. Hubbard. Price & Co. g cotton circu-
lar says: THE opening of this week has given
us rather dull and featureless market After
| a rather dull opening, with sales points below
| Saturdays prices, very little animation
| shown to hold values The fact that the ad-
| vance of last week has to a considerable extent
| led to covering on the part of room shorts and
| nervous bears, and further created long in
| terest, seems to have taken the power away to
| support increased cost, and although no special
| pressure came forward to depreSS prices, the
| market shows a certain feeling Of tiredness.
| Closing prices show decline of about 8 points
| since May s. The demand for spot cotton
| keeps well up and sales are again today pretty
| liberal"

CHICAGO, May THE first hour on Change
was very dull. Opening prices ranged just q
| trite better than the closing Saturday. About
II o'clock tie wheat pit livened up and the
market became very active Shorts who real
lied that they must depend on the tail end of
| the old crop to fill contracts bought June wheat
| Then the visible supply figures came showing
| couraging more buying. This was followed by
reports from Missouri, which have been bearish
recently, coUcediDg that the damage was more
| than expected. On these things there was an
active market from II a. IN. until the close,
| when the advance for the day was about 3461Ac.
| June opened at S21Sc aud sold up TO $3.50. July
| opened at S313c and sold up to S43Sc. Corn sold
| within a narrow range, aud while the general
| feeling was strong, large receipts and the large
increase in the visible supply, n large percent
age Of which is No ?, prevented any special
| advance. The closing prices were very near the
outside for the day and fractioually higher than
on Saturday. Speculative trade in oats con
tinues active and the market strong and ad-
vanclng.' The amount in store is small and
holders do not seem inclined TO let the price
drop at all, and consequently shorts are cover
ing at little higher figures every day. Provis-
Ions were quiet and steady, trading being mostly
professional. Short ribs were most attractive
and were sold early by strong parties, who
changed their minds later and bought back
their sales at higher prices.
Cash quotations were as follows: Flour
