Messrs Hubbard, Price & Co. s cotton circu-
lar says: Trading in cotton certificates re
mains limited, and we had again to-day a very
dull market Our opening showed points de-
cline since last night, and with very little bust
ness doing ruled steady, and closed without
| change to speak Of Receipts show full move
ment but prices could not be shaded below
opening figures, and although during the pres
ent duness of trade there is marked absence of
buying orders, there is certain hesitation to sell
| the market short. The demand for export cot
! ton continues active"

CHICAGO April 24.-Ihere was a general feel
| ing of weakness in all quarters on Change to-
| day. Wheat suffered the influence of corn, and
| suffered still more by unloading by bears who
took the stuff yesterday but became afraid of it
at once. In corn the cause of the decline was
| evidently large receipts and a large percentage
| of No. corn coming in. May, after opening at
| 541Ac, sold at 545Sc, and from this point there
| was a decline to 535sc; afterward the reaction
| took May to 544c and the later sales were close
| around until the close at $3.50. The taking of
| vessel room for $40 900 bushels to Buffalo helped
| 10 strengthen the market at the close Oats
| sold between 313SQ315sc for all leading futures.
| Provisions were weaker and lower, put trade
| was light. Receipts of hogs were fair and prices
higher There was an absence of buying orders,
and the general speculative crowd having tired
OF buling products alone, it only required the
| sale of 900 barrels of pork to break the market
| 27lhc. A rally of Toe followed and the market
| remained quiet, closing 1719c below yesterday 5
| closing pSices, Lard declined 5Q10c, and May
| short ribs 2lsc.
