Messrs. Hubbard. Price X Co S cotton circu-
lar of to-day SAYS: Our market for certificates
opened with considerable steadiness, and first
sales were made at last nights prices. Shortly
after the first call however cotton was freely
offered by brokers representing New Orleans
accounts and, with some pressure to sell,
prices ueCllueu Sharply nNe points. "A neANN
run Of receipts, both at ports and interior
towns, exert depressing influence. The in
terror movement points to about 1000 bales,
compared with $500 bales the same time last
year Towards noon time a steadier tone set
in. Local shorts seemed disposed to secure
some profits, and their buying gave a reaction
of points. The official close calls the market
dull with prices about points lower than last
night"

CHICAGO. April 13.-The advance in prices of
wheat to-day was hardly what was expected by
the bulls. The opening was at &c over last
night, and the range for the regular session was
nc Receipts of "a 900 bushels at New Y ork in
dcates al increased movement to the seaboard.
The short interest here was also considerable
and helped the early bulge. With these infiu-
ences May opened at 7Sc, sold at 7SI4c, down to
7Sc again and then up TO 7S16c, the top for the
session. Later sales were between 7S16C17Sj6c.
Corn was the most eccentric article on the floor,
and prices at once started upward and advanced
rapidly. There is a wide difference of opinion
in corn. There are those who have claimed all
along that it was top heavy above Soc. Other
extremists now talk Coo. They point to the
price of cash corn at BIC the small stock of con
tract corn in store, the approach of navigation
which will move 1t out freely, and, above all,
light receipts. both present and prospective
These things all helped the bulls to-day, and the
factor equal to all for the day was the short in
terest which has not been noticed until now
The price of May was 16c over last night at the
opening at 54Isc After slight dip to 54c the
price went straight to 55c, while some long corn
came out at each fractional advance. There
was q little reaction from 5jc uld then the price
bulged the second time 10 553sc, the outside for
the day, closing at 55Lzc. Provisions we're
firmer and prices higher in sympathy with light
receipts and an advance of l00D15c in prices.
Big traders who were so conspicuous the open
ing days of the week left the market severely
alone, and the only trading was of scalping
nature The bull syndicate while not Offering
pork openly, were willing TO sell all that buyers
wanted. Scattering shorts covered small lots
and bid prices up 12Isc, but the closing sales
were at 216c below the top Lard was stronger
