MeSsrs. Hubbard Price & Co. s cotton circu-
lar SAYS Our market for certificates opened
at Saturdays closing. The second round of the
first call showed a partial Improvement of one
point, but with no disposition shown to support
increased cost. prices dropped 4015 points for
new options while new crop months lost but 2
The furry of Saturday has liquidated the ner-
vous short interest of room operators and taken
the power away to hold values. Aside from
this Wall street shows disposition to sell cot
ton, and some orders in this direction could be
traced to come from that quarter. Reports of
damage done by the freShets in the Mississippi
and Red rivers seemed to have very little
weight on the market and new crop remained
neglected. The closing demonstrated certain
steadineSS, with quotations a shade improved,
yet 3014 points below Saturday"

CHICAGO. May 1.-THE bulls were divided OF
wheat to-day. Prices opened Ac higher thar
| the close Saturday. and few large operators
/ and very many small ones turned sellers
Heavy realizing caused q decline from the open
| ing figures Of aSQ<c But the country was
| buying, and influences were for higher prices
| and they came. About IL a. m. it was known
positively that the decrease in the visible sup
ply would be very large-perhaps 2,OOO,O0,
| bushels additional--were wired from Ohio anC
Indiana saying that wheat growing in these
| States would yield but little more than that
| needed for seed and consumption. 1t was 1879
when the visible supply figures were posted
| and showed a decrease of 2046,000 bushels
| The growing feeling of strength in wheat cul
| minated during the last fifteen minutes Of the
| regular session, and prices went beyond al
| former bulgeS. July opened at &C., declined tC
| $3.50, reacted to SOC, sold down again TO SS3sc
| again reacted, touching $3.50, and closed at
| S93lc. The situation in corn was strong. May
| sold highest on the opening at 6O4c. Later
| sales were @04c under this figure, and the
| closing price was 591Sc. Other futures opened
| firm and higher, dropped back nc, from the
| highest price of the morning, and rallied agalI

| $3.50. The visible supply decreased 2,449,0U
| bushels. Oats like corn, got some strength
| from wheat Its small local stock, 1,202, 0g
| bushels also made May strong. May opened al

| 35S5c July opened at 34c. sold between 33s4t

moderately stronger and higher in the face o
