Green & Co. s report on cotton futures says:
Cotton certificates have again moved some
what sluggishly and evidences generally point
TO an inherent weakness Some of the ac
credited bull operators have taken portion of
the offerings, but not in snappish, vigorous
way, and the pressure throughout has proven
sufficient to keep prices weak throughout.
Nothing of particularly favorable character
could he discovered in the advices the port
foreign position tame, with indications that
Liverpool was selling on this market, Rumors
OF political complications abroad were also cir
culated, and while rather negative in character,
points, with just faint recovery of tone at
the close, but business was very dull"

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-The grain markets started
ont strong on the report of an Austro-German
alliance. Wheat was the center of interest, and
there was fair activity and some nervousness
in the pit most OF the session. May wheat
opened at S?c, and Immediately advanced to
S}3sc. Persistent selling by leading operator
subsequently broke it to 826Cs21ac at which
figure trading became quiet. Nearly all OF the
big houses with Eastern connections were
sfaca oft no
selling mentioned ceased. May tirmed up to
s2L4c, and Just before the close again touched
the highest figure of the session, and closed at
S2$sc. Corn was quiet, and little interest de
velOped in the market Many of the regular
traders were in the wheat pit Prices kept
within nc range, and the closing prices were
the same on yesterday, May closing at 5255c
Oats were also unlntereStlng, and Hay closed
dun at 33c. Provisions were quiet and a shade
easier, the close finding pork 2Lsc, lard sc, and
short ribs 21aG15c lower Arrivals of hogs were
fair and the market weaker Big local traders
with one or two exceptions, were not in the
market to any extent. one operator, however
sold about $500 tlerceS of lard and 2,O00,OOO
pounds of short ribs. After large traders with
drew. the market was given over to scalpers
who traded lightly, and the market became
stupid. May pork sold at S14 4119014 80, and
closed at S14 5219: May lard at 81 S71%GD7 95,
and closed at 81 9O short ribs at s. 7214Q.7 '71s
and closed at s. 15 Packing since Nov. is
l. 1872 900 hogs, decrease of 6S,0O0 from last
year At the present rate of increase the
shortage will be overcome before the season
closes unless the supply of hogs materially de-
creases.
