The Suns cotton review says: Futures
| opened stronEer on better report from Liver
| pool but he full report of receipts checked
| buying, and small decline soon took place,
and dull market followed, without conspicu-
| GUS feature or important change. Receipts at
| New Orleans were large (the effect of Mardi
| Gras, doubt, but Memphis made a small
| showing, and this, with declining receipts at
northern ports (overland), caused steady
| closing"

CHICAGO, March 5--Another sharp break oc-
CURED in wheat, the inside figures for May
being just 41sc lower than the outside price for
Yesterday, and closing at 23ic. July declined
$3.50 below yesterday s outside figures and clos
| ing 1890 lower than yesterdays closing. II is
| difficult to give a reason for the weakness other
| than that there was but little demand and that
| offerings were quite large. A large local trader
| was reported as having unloade1 line Of long"
| wheat Fine weather here and an increase of
| 264 600 bushels on the ocean passage may have

support the market. The weakness became
more marked and developed almost into panic,
| prices declining 334c in a short time later q DC
| reaction followed. but tdis advance was again
| partially lost. A fair business was rep rted in
! corn, trading being quite active at times. The
| feeling developed was considerably frmer.

| other sources The market opened at about the
closing prices of yesterday; was easy for q time,
ruled stronger, gradually advanced &c, reac ed

oats, and prices declined 1sQAc from yeSter-

tuctuated considerably, but on the whole range
a material advance was established on all le id-
ing articles. Pork was trong early and prices
