The Sun'S cotton article says: Cotton
futures opened frmer on stronger re9ort
from Liverpool, but the demand was small, and
the early advance was soon lost under sales to
realize. Then there was a fresh advance on a
small showing of some of the early interior
towns. Then fresh weakness was developed by
large port receipts and the close was dull and
unsettled. The statistical position absorbed all
attention. Port receipts for the week were
$4,000 bales about 200 balls more than the
early estimates; but the effect of this was
neutralized b. large exports, $1,000 bales to-day
from southern ports alone, making rapid re-
ductiou in stocks"

CHICAGO, March 22.-From the wide and
rapid fluctuations in wheat to-day. one would
b. ed to believe that the volume Of trading was
very heavy; but such was not the case very
fair huginoSS wa traDgartnH hut thara
little wheat TO be had at times as to restrict
trading, and good many orders could not be
filed on account of prices getting beyond the
Ii nit3 Mt which orders were placed. May wheat
opened NC lower than yesterdays closing and
declined 1bc more. then started upwards, adj
va cling with numerous fluctuations &c. then
saggeI back again nc, advanced 1aSc and
closed 41sc higher than yesterday. June opened
at yesterdays closing and advanced 4J%c, and
closed 411c higher than yesterday. July ad-
vanced &c, with fair trading, and closed about
112c higher than yesterday. While interest
conferred principally Ia MAY, good many OPP
orators are Encouraging trading in this future
and endeavorlng TO induce traders to operate in
July. The advance was again matt,r of local
speculation, with shorts frightened and anxious
to cover; many, in fact, were forced to do so.
Stop orders came In play and fluctuations were
so rapid as TO make the filling Of these orders
very unsatisfactory some not being executed
within 16511sc Of the limit plac ID on them
Changes Of 15fE1c occurred frequently without
chance of doing much trading Short interests
no doubt fearfd themS alveS trapped and wcr,
anxious to escape n further squeeze. There
was some reports of too much and prolonged
dry weather in illinois aud Indiana, with
weather indications predicting clear cooler
weather. The condition of the supply is no
doubt having some effect on the market Corn
opened slightly lower than the closing prices OF
yesterday, was quiet and steady for so ne time
then ruled active and frmer, advancing Nc
upon good buying by two or three large local
houses and covering by shorts, eased )ff nc,
a ain advanced recovered the decline and
closed firm at a4@E3se higher than yesterday
There a fair business In oats at yesterdays
range of prices. Quite an active speculative
business was transacted in mess pork. Sales at
the opening were made at about the closing
figures of yesterday, and later in tn day an
advance of 2lGg2Jc was gained. Outside figures
were not fully supported. however, but the
market closed rather firm. Lard and short ribs
iuctuated in sympathy with pork
