Hubbard. Price & Co.'S cotton circular says:
Liverpool cables this morning reported that
the market partially went one point up, but
our prices at the opening were little influenced
thereby. But few new features of interest have
presented themselves, and the advance winch
occurred towards the end of the session was the
result OF some orders from the south TO buy
october. Rains in South Carolina are reported
again, and II they become general, the outlook
ID that State will be very discouraging. The
absence of the Jewish element from the ex-
change to-day curtailed the volume of business
In consequence of the high rates of ocean
freight from New York. cotton is being shipped
TO Norfolk to be compressed and shipped.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-There was less guessing
in wheat to-day and prices advanced about 114c
on good, active market To begin WITH the
early board cable gave futures higher on the
other side. 1t also appeared that foreign mar
kets had not declined with ours and were quite
prompt to respond to an upward movement.
The sentiment of trade here and elsewhere was
much improved on the buying side since last
night. Heavy scalpers who held on yesterday
easily took profits on their Friday purchases to-
day. The market was remarkably free from
depressions on realizing. There was nothing in
statistics or crop movements to add much to
the strength. The best item on the bull side
was the falling off in receipts at interior wheat
points. Wheat closed firm at the outside point
of the day, with December about 1ec higher for
the day. Receipts of corn were not up to the
estimate. and with the change of feeling in
wheat and provisions there was also stronger
feeling in corn Futures opened 4c over the
close and sold about &c higher during the
morning. About noon there was a reaction to
last nights prices. but another little bulge be-
fore the close left prices I4c higher. Oats were
dull and weak, but sold little better. There
was no afternoon session. 1t was a strong mar
ket for provisions. Pork opened at about last
nights closing figures, but advanced 111hc per
barrel, closing at about top prices. There was
some talk of manipulation in lard which ad-
vanced 100271Sc outside for October, closing at
the best figures of the day Ribs closed for
October and January at 2l66l5c advance.
