The Suns cotton review says: Futures
made only a slight advance on a much stro ger
| report from Liverpool but it was a listless sort
OF market, and if there was no decided reaction
| it was from the absence CT sellers rather than
the eagerneSs of demand. Everything awaits
| action on the silver bill. The weather at the
from Texas advices we're quite favorable. The
Red river is so high as to preclude che hope of
l an early abatement of the floods in lower Mis-
| sssippi, aud much cotton land will no doubt
| remain overfiowed till too late. Cotton on spot
was dearer hut quiet"

CHICAGO. May 9.-Trading in wheat was again
very large, and the feeling unsettled and ner-
| vons. Prices were higher all around and forced
| futures touched higher point than has vet
| been reached. Bad corn news. which was the
! prime cause for firmness, caused further ad-
| vance to-day, and short interest covered freely.
The opening for July was 20D2Lec higher than
4 yesterdays closing, advanced after some fuc-
4 tuatons 16c more, then declined 2}sc, ruled
4 irregular, and closed about nc higher than
yesterday. IL was difficult to do anything in
May easy matter to trade in june parties
not caring TO make any trades, and disposed TO
close old ones. 1t was not altogether a bad
1 crop prospect which created the nervousness
and excitement which prevailed, but, no doubt,
1 the fear of a squeeze on acc punt Of the meager
stocks and light receipts. The situation was
| not an inviting one to short sellers, however
strong their belief that speculation has carried
the market t0o high. There was a good trade
| in corn, prices being very irregular WITHIN a
range of Mole The feeling on the opening
| was wild and unsteady, but generally firm but
| soon ruled weaker and quickly declined There
| was no new feature presented, and prices were
| governed to great extent by local influence,
/ and later by free selling for country account
| Prices were strengthened The market opened
| at about Ac higher than yesterdays close the
| trade being mainly in July; but under free
offerings became very weak and soon declined
| &4@lc, ruled steady, and closed 40 &c lower
| than yesterday. Oats were active and excited
