Messrs Hubbard. Price & Co. g cotton circu-
lar saws: "A rather unexpected better market
| in Liverpool gave us firm and higher opening,
and first sales were made at an advance of 3G04
| points about last nights close. Tho decline of
| Wednesday and the dullness of yesterday had
| no doubt made new short interest among
local Leaders, and as soon as that class of opera
tors see there is no chance to dopress the
| market, they are quick to cover. We had that
kind of market to-day, Room scalpers bought
| freely to lquidate their short engagements, and
when current estimates became known, buying
became more general and vigorous. With
| limited Offering, prices advanced points for
| Old and points for new crop, closing at the
best prices of the day. The demand for spots
| has been again very active to-day. Total sales
1878 bales, of which 500 bales were for export.

| CHICAGO, May 4.-Tnere was quite change
of sentiment IN wheat to-day. The rains Of
last night refreshened the bears in proportion
| as it improved the crop prospects; then, too,
| cables reported n downward tendency at Liver
pool. These influences induced the local crowd
| to sell wheat at the start, but clearances at
| New York were reported at $4,000 bushels, aud
they turned buyers. Later, when il was found
| that clearances should have read 5000 the
| bull fever was suddenly checked, and trade be
came quite dull. July opened at S3l6c. sold off
| Ld3tc reacted to S336GD83&tc, and again eased
| back to S313c. There were no outsiders, and
steady sire I'm of small lots of long wheat came
on the market, causing July 70 sell off steadily
| until it reached S3c. Toward the close there
was a reaction, and July rested at S311c Corn
opened with full activity and steady prices, fol.
| lowed by an advance of 1lGI8sc for all futures
| except May. For the month there waSa special
demand aud eager buying by few houses. aud
