Messrs. Hubbard. Price & Co. s cotton circu-
lar of to-day says Our cotton market for
| certificates responded very willingly to Liver
pool and opening prices showed an improve
ment of points against Saturday, with very
| light fluctuations. We close at a net gain of
| about points Ii was very narrow market
all day, and an almost entire absence of orders
! left business in the hands of the ring scalpers
| We noticed some covering of near months,
while some selling of July and August at about
| the top figures of the day gave small re-
| actions. The sensitiveness of the market is at
| once shown by the effect of legitimate orders
A few hundred bales either way established a
new quotation. Spots are dull but steady;

CHICAGO April 9.-Tbe bulls, who have had
hard time of it in the provision pit for several
| months, came to the front to-day in surpris-
| ingly good form for one who have been called
on so excessively for margins, and not only
| turned the tables on the bears, but drove them
| to cover at a lively rate Outsiders, who have
let pork severely alone for a long time, also fell
| in with numerous buying orders. Many
| faces were also seen IN the pit. The firm which
| has been recognized the head of the bull
| party was ready to take cash pork on May con
| tracts and pay for it and exchange 1000 barrels
! of May for equal quantity of cash at S13 80
with packing company. II was also rumored
| that a local bank had offered to loan the firm
81 900 900 If necessary to carry the deal through.
| The officials of the bank however, are noted for
| their Observation-Disclosures and even If they
willing To loan any such amount, they would be-
| apt to tell of it. The story had the effect Of
soaring bears into covering, and prices for May
advanced from S13 40 to $l3 80, hung around
/ that figure for a time and then su ldeny started
| upward A good many stop orders were in the
market at Si3 30 and above, but broke and were
unable TO cover at the limit, the market was
decidedly Onesded and advanced to Si4 90, with
! hardly "A reaction. A recession to Sl3 2S% fol
! lowed, but prices again touched Sl4 % aud the
market closed firm after slight fluctuations at
Si4 90, an advance Of Bic over last Saturday,
closing. Large bears traded freely and bought
| and sold on the way up. but bought more than
trey sold Short ribs were active and clio eel
/ 10c higher. Lard was quiet at 81 50l07 So. The
grain pits were fairly active with firm feeling
J and steady prices at the opening, followed by
( slight declines in all directions b fore noon.
| Receipts were about as estimated and the visi-
| BILE supply figures showed an expected decrease
/ all around. For May sales during the morning
