Messrs. Hubbard. Price & Co. s cotton circu-
lar says; Our to-day's session for cotton GER
uncates has been lifeless. Owing to partial
advance of 1-64d in Liverpool values have gained
points on very light trading and with remark
able absence Of excitement either open or sup
pressed. The noticeable feature Of the entire
SITUATION is the apparent feeling of positive in
dlnerence felt on all sides, but nevertheless the
extreme strength of Liverpool and the active
demand for spot cotton of desirable charac-
ter gives the market very steady undertone.
Inc closing prices are points higher on old and

CHICAGO, April 21.-The bulls In wheat acted
as if discouraged to-day. There were many
who predicted last night that May would touch
S3c before the close to-day. because the situa-
ton was so strong that the shorts would not
dare to stay out over Sunday. The opposite
was the result. The longs, finding that there
was no bulge on, turned in about IL o'clock, and
did some heavy realizing. The market early
touching S03sc for May This was due in part
to a drop in May corn. The best point of the
morning was size. From this realizing sales
stantiated in the next ten days, the bulls claim
that there will yet be another advance greater
than realized so for. In the closing, prices for
the day and week for May was S13sc. Corn was
large, and So cars of No. came in. II was
difficult to get opening prices but the official
quotation was lie lower for May at SIC. This
was the bottom price for the day. After selling
at 54s5c, May again dropped to 541sc, and after
hanging between 541S@S4}zc most of the
session, there was quick bulge to 551Sc shortly
before the close, and an equally sudden drop
back to $3.50 at the tap of the closing bell. In
oats there was a weakness early in sympathy
with corn, and slight rally later for the same
reason. The closing pr5IGGsess were the same as
311sc closing at 31&c. Lard was active
stronger and advanced 150171ec under buying
by strong parties, who have been absorbing
offerings for several days past. When leading
buyers withdrew, the market became quiet ard
easier. Values receded from outside and finally
