Messrs. Hubbard Price & Co. g cotton circu-
lar says THE activity of the first days of this
| week was followed to-day by rather dull and
featureess market, and trading in cotton GER
| tf1cates has remained small. We opened 2Q3
points better on near positions, with very little
business doing The market ruled steady all
day. Shortly before the close sellers increased,
| anu the advance Of the day was lost The
closing prices are practically unchanged since
| yesterday. Port receipts show again u surplus
| compared with last year. The demand for
spots is fair and quotations unchanged. v

| CHICAGO May 3.-RepOrts from outside points
| were very conflicting this morning, but they
| only added to the interest now attached to the
| wheat trade. Opening prices on Change were
| slightly under last night, but the first hour re-
gained the loss and put prices at the top points
| touched Wednesday. The starting Of the grain
feet from Chicago last night with about Coz, 900
bushels of wheat, about 1901 600 bushels Of oats
and over 5000 900 bushels of corn had very little
| to do with prices. The reaction after opening
was caused by buying by the crowd who had
| taken profits on realizing sales for day or two
past and were ready to take hold again. The
| best points Of the day were touched about II
a. M. and the advance would have been more
marked but for libe al unloading of prominent
| operator, which caused decline of about &c
from the top. The principal crop reports were
from California. where 1t was claimed that no
amount of rain or favorable weather could
make half crop and from Missouri. where the
| outlook was better for crops and helpful for
bears. July wheat opened Llc off at S319c, sold
at 899zc, and up 10 sac and closed at $3.50.
| Corn was firm from the opening to the close,
and few houses supposed to be short May
| were obliged to pay fancy prices to obtain it.
| Gales for the month ranged from S14c up TO
| size, closing at SIC. Other futures were only
moderately active, and after opening steady at
| last nights figures made slight advances, which
| we're sustained to the close. July sold from
55l4c to 5594c, closing at Sb9zG>5534c Oats were
| without special interest, except for May, which
| sold up TO and closed at 39Ac. The feature TO
| the provision market was the strength and ad-
vance in lard There is large outward move
