Green & Co s report on cotton futures says:
1T was again stupid market with hardly
feature worthy of note. The selling of few
hundred bales would put the rates off point or
two and little demand send them up again, the
entire tluctuation amounting to 4G15 points be-
tween extremes, wi h the close a fraction above
last evening. There was an absence of influ-
encing features from sources of supply or the
foreign market, and most of the trading was
local, though we noticed evidences of trl1e
amount of outside business on both sides of the
market, including some selling orders from New
Orleans The bull element confines itself to
holding its position aga INST decline"

CHICAGO Feb. 1.-THE markets on Change
opened rather tame. with prices practically I'M
changed. The expected cut in Western grain
rates, and news from St Louis that there was
heavy selling there on expected cuts to follow
ON the roads tributary to that point, created
considerable weakness in grain. May wheat,
which opened at 81AMS135c, broke to S02Ac,
when heavy purchases on the strength of the
talk of damage to winter wheat caused re-
action to size, but shortly after noon selling
was renewed. and May dropped back to Sic.
Corn kept weak all through the session. TIE
expected generalization in freight rates and
large receipts. which are expected to follow.
kept prices down. Since the reduction in storage
rates, the difference between near and deferred
futures has become less. This, with a demand
for cash corn, caused February and March to
close at 1880. Oats were active and unsettled.
nent operators. and May sold down from the
opening figure, 3134c, to the closing figure,
3i36c. Provisions were dull. Outside trading
remained almost dead, and most of the local
traders are giving the market less attention.
Those who are loaded with the product are
anxious to get pricesup TO unload but the trade
is so light that the market requires constant
bolstering to prevent values from declining.
Lard was quiet. but closed 2l5G5c higher. Pork
was steady. and closed 10c higher. Short ribs,
like lard, advanced 21995c.
