Messrs Hubbard. Price & Co. s cotton crcu-
| lar of to-day says: Our cotton market for
| certificates continued dull and without new fea
lures. On values gain of 4 points is shown,
| yet this has been accomplished on very light
| trading, and the remarkable absence of excite
| ment, either open or suppressed, and a notice
able feature of the entire situation was the APP
parent feeling of positive Indifferent felt on all
| sides. During the last hour of to-days session
| a more pronounced desire was manifested to
| buy contracts, evidently to cover what room
| scalpers had sold during the morning"

CHICAGO, April 10.-Sharp bulges in wheat
and pork and brisk trading made things look
like old times to-day in the Change. 1t was
very evident as soon as the board opened that
shorts in pork were in for a bad squeeze, and
those who doubted that this article was cor
nered had their doubts removed. From the
opening of Sl4 05 the advance to $l4 AN was
rapid and continuous. The only halts on the
way up were when shorts stopped bidding This
they did at several stages of the advance, for
the reason that the amount of stuff they were
able to purchase was out of all proportions to
the advances which their bidding occasoned.
Later there decline of SOC, and the market
closed at S14 21l5. Lard remained steady all

firmer and somewhat irregular. The gram pits

reached the top for the morning wheat, corn
and oats were 166f3Ac under the opening and
the markets neglected and dragging. Before
noon there was a revival OF activity and an ad-
vance all around Corn sold from 52IAc 10 525zc
and reacted slightly. Then the whrl in wheat
began. May had sold from 76}sc to 7GIsc down
to s6n161sc In thirty minutes the price jumped
to G716c, with intense excitement. The market
had been stirred up by the government crop re
port. When the StatiSticians figures were made
known at noon they showed a decrease IN con
diton from SO per cent. in 1887 to 80 per cent ut
the present time This caused a good sized
furry on the floor, and the wheat pit could not
accommodate the crowd Of shorts who were
frightened TO cover, and in equally large crowds
of enthusiastic bulls who rushed in 70 buy for
an advance. There was n spasmodic advance
