Hubbard. Price & Co.'S cotton circular says:
The tvances in Liverpool brought buyers to
! cover short, August opening the market at a
substantial advance over last evenings close,
and showing that the short interest is by no
| means covered yet. Operations of the bull
party seemed devoted to keeping the market
down instead of forcing, prices upwards, and
undoubtedly they have sold some of their pre-
| vious purchases to-day for this purpose, which
| causes many to think the deal Is over but in
dications point TO sharp reaction only to
| check the shipments of cotton to this point.
| Rains are reported ip Texas, with the result of
| breaking prices on fall and winter months some
points, closing at about the lowest price"

CHICAGO Aug. 14.-Wheat opened at various
| exchanges In the country to-day from AQssc
| lower than the closing prices yesterday Early
cables gave better weather abroad with free
| offerings and seliings by exporters at New
| York The tone was bearish all round. There
was selling by the country of long wheat and
professionals bought it, 1t was going on down
| as on Monday, and they Joined in selling down
This took the price of September to sl1ac Then
| light receipts for Wednesday were made known,
| aud there was more buying on that, and prices
| went ABOUT noon the DeSJ point OF the
| day-S21s0 O. but afterward fell below SIC
| The surprise of the day was in corn. August
| closed nearly &c over the bottom for the day at
| 45Ac. September closed 116c over last night at
| 45c. Low prices were current shortly after the
| opening, when September touched 434c. The
| demand for cash corn for shipping was soon
| felt. The estimate for Wednesday was found
| to be but $50 cars Shorts turned in to cover
| and little corn was for sale. A leading operator
turned in big buyer and the result was a re-
| markable advance without special excitements.
| Oats sympathized somewhat with the improve
| ment in corn. The speculative demand was
| fair and frmer feeling prevailed, but fiuctua-
| tions were small. Mess pork was in small re-
| quest and unsettled. After declining 20c on
| account of the yellow fever scare, it rallied a
| like amount in sympathy with the advance in
| corn and closed steady. Shorts were in limited
| request. After decline of 2lzGl5c there was a
| slig ght reaction, but the market closed dull
