The SlttLS cotton review Futures
opened little lower under weak accounts from
Liverpool, with pretty fair port receipts; but
the bulls were not only able to check the decline
but to cause a partial recovery, Speculation,
however, was duh, and an unsettled feeling per
vaded the market. There was some renewal OF
manipulation of earlier options, ard strong
southern markets were a check upon operations
for decline; also smaller receipts at the interior
towns. The weather in the southwest is mlder
and suitable for the successful opening of the
planting season"

CHICAGO. Feb. 26-The volume of trading in
wheat was fairly large and the feeling unset
tied within lowerrang OF prices The market
opened strong and 5S1lc higher under good
buying, with shorts" probably forced in to
pean market may have helped to strengthen
the feeling. The quantity of wheat on ocean
passage also showed a decrease. At the adj
vance it was noticed that speculative offerings
increased, and this checked further advance
and later developed weak feeling Many
operators have been under the impression that
some Of the large traders on the bull side had
been realizing for several days, but were reluc-
tant about selling themselves on account of the
uncertainty of the market. but to-day they
took coura ge when it was found that trades
with some parties on the long de would SETTLE
which heretofore would not. Prices under
pressure to sell declined 23Sc below outside
figures paid early in the day From the inside
prices again rallied g., fiuctuated for some time
than yesterday. There was only a moderate
Business reported in corn. Transactions were
largely local, and fluctuations limited TO nc
range. The feeling, on the whole, was a trihe
e isier, although values did not show much
change from yesterday. An increased business
was transacted in oats at a lower range Of
prices. There was cded disposition on the
part Of operators to SCI several heavy traders
taking an active part on that side. Buyers
were indifferent about supporting the market,
until pric ~ for May had declined nc when
they began bidding freely an stopped further
break Around inside figures trading was
heavy, shorts being free buyers. A rally Of Lc
followed the de pressiod. and the market closed
steady at net decline of 3sc from Mondays
prices. Quite an active business was transacted
in hog products aud the feeling was unsettled.
Liberal receipts Of no 3 and lower prices caused
a weaker feeling, and offerings on speculative
&C ,ouut were quite free Prices declined mode
rately but good demand from the short in
tere,t and from outside parties checked the
part Of the session was only moderate, and
prices fuctuafed slightly within q small range.
