The Suns cotton review will say; Futures
opened at a sharp advance, in response to a
somewhat exciting report from Liverpool; but
a quick reaction followed, when IL was seen
that the marSet did not fully sustain its early
advance The BEARS however, could not be in
duced to put out lines looking to decline. The
rapid decrease OF s tocks on hand Is an element
of strength, against which there is no arguing:
Still, the bulls were again willing TO wait, and
the close was dull. Receipts at interior towns
were about 7,SoO bales, and stocks were reduced

CHICAGO. April 12. There was good trading in
wheat during most of the session, principally
for July delivery. The feeling was somewhat
unsettled, and the course Of various futures
was somewhat irregular May, for instance
advanced 314c, broke Off &C. and closed 1850
higher than yesterday. Not much interest was
manifested in May, and little attention was
given that month, consequently light trading
either buying selling, caused wide fiuctua.
tions. For June prices advanced 314c, declined
2Ac, and closed about 115c higher tIan yester-
day July opened 4QR3sc lower, advanced &c,
and then for a while fuctuated with moderate
range until after II O'Clock, when the market
bro off about 21kc, reacted some, and closed
114c lower than yesterday. fair business was
transacted in corn early in the session, after
which the market became quiet and inactive
The feeling developed was steady, opening sales
beng at yesterdays closing prices, and under
fair local demand the market advanced sc
The demand was soon satisfied, however and
the market reacted to inside figures, and final
quotations we're about the sans yesterday
Oats were weak and lower. The opening
at yesterdays close to 14c lower, with down
ward tendency. Prices for May declined &c
rallied slightly, but closed steady at nearly in
side figures. Fluctuations in June and July
were small and the feeling steady. An uns ettlel
feeling prevailed in hog products, and prices
fiuctuated frequently within small range At
the opening the market was stronger, owing to
a steady hog market and increased orders to
purchase on behalf of outside parties. Prices
were slightly a lvanced on leading articles.
Rather free offerings, however, caused a weaker
feeling, and prices declined again, but soon
rallied with fair buying by local shorts. The
upward tendency checked again, and
prices receded, but toward the close tue feel
ing was steadier, and prices improved again
slightly, the market closing at about medium
figures"
