Messrs Hubbard. Price & Co. s cotton circu-
| lar of to-day says: The decline in Liverpool
| is reflected here and our market for options
! opened points off. Trading remained limited
| but with no special desire to sell the market
| down prices kept steady and under some de-
| mand to cover short engagements recovered 2
| points, closing quiet but steady. To-day's port
| receipts show a total of 4. 143 bales compared
with 2,424 bales the same time last year, but as
it is asserted that the larger movement is at the
| expense of interior towns, it had no depressing
| influence on Values

CHICAGO. April 17.-When trading began on
Change this morning the interest in wheat ex
ceeded that of previous days since the revival of
speculation on the floor. So strong was the
bull feeling that the opeping was just &c higher
than the closing last night, and during the first
hour the range Of prices covered lc for all lead
ing futures. Wheat sold to-day &c higher than
IL did seven days ago, ranging from 8l154S2tc
Deror Frederick, and the excitement over the
crop situation, caused prices to jump at one
time nearly &c over outside price on Monday
little later a sharp reaction came, which wiped
ont part of the advance. The close at p. m.
for May SIC, or &c better than the close
last night. The close for the day was at Sl34c.
Realizing just before the close was heavy and
general. Conspicuous on the bull side today
was a leading operator who was backed by
country and local bulls. Another dealer closed
out line of 1,00),000 bushels of May at SIC.
While other markets were not so strong as
here, everything at home and abroad helped
the upward tendency. Except for May. the
uniform advance for the day in wheat futures
was 1c. There was not the same excitement in
corn in wheat but at any other time the
same action in corn would be remarkable. May
opened at 565sc, or 19c over last night, sold
down TO 561A0D56l4c and then up TO SIC, from
which realizing sales caused a decline to $500
5Gj4c at the close. Prime also opened Nc higher
at 5534c, sold down TO C5lsc, and up to 5G3sc,
and closed ut 5515c. Oats showed downward
tendency at the opening, but rallied and ad-
largely exceeded estimates, and prices declined
15620c. This created weak, unsettled market
for the product. Trading, however, was not
large, there being too much excitement in groin
for operators to give much attention to provis-
ions. One operator sold all the pork buyers
wanted but the largest purchaser on the
market only took 500 barrels. May opened at
814 -, declined 10 Sl4 05, reacted and closed at
/ O'Clock at S1i 1716. d decline 10c from yester-
day Lard was slow and &c lower Short ribs
declined 5JhD15c
