Inc Saas cotton review says: Futures
opened quiet, but at once made a sharp advance
on the pressure that was put upon Decsmber
contracts by, il was said, a leading Greek
house. But this did not amount TO much, and
@nen the demand fell OF, the early advance
was soon lost Then reports of receipts from
interior towns began to come in, and they fell
below the estimate, figures from Georgia towns
eeing especially Disappointing. The renewal of
demand from this cause ca ried prices back to

by some parties to be long wheat. An easier
feeling developed prices declining NC. The
market recovered slightly from the early de-
cline, influenced by a rather liberal export
movement, but the improvement did not hold
throughout the session. Around the floor the
May market was sustained by good buying.
fair trade was reported in corn, the market
ruling moderately active and firm early, but as
the session advanced became quiet and easy.
though at the close il was active at inside prices.
The market opened at yesterdays closing
prices, and under a good demand from local
shorts, who sold heavily for several days past,
advanced AMgMc. The demand, however, soon
became satisfied. offerings being large and the
market declined H@1 &c, became quiet and
decline was attributed to large receipts, fine
weather and weakness in wheat. Oats were
active. All interest however, ceutered in May.
There was free selling by a large operator and
liberal covering by shorts, who sold at slightly
higher prices. A good many buying orders for
May at &c were on the market, all OF which
were executed. A fair trade was reported in
pork but the feeling was unsettled and prices
favored buyers. A decline of 216G15c was sub
mitted to, and the market closed steady at me-
dunn figures. moderate trade was done In
