The SUMS cotton review says: Cotton
futures opened little weak under depressing
report from Liverpool, but small receipts at
| New Orleans checked the selling movement,
and values slightly improved. but business was
very dull. Buyers and sellers were equally
cautious, and business was notably small.
Southern markets were in some cases dearer,
and the interior movement very small Cotton
on spot was dull"

CHICAGO, March 3-Trading in wheat was
| active and firm. A larger business was trans
| acted than for some time. A prominent local
| trader was reported as having sold freely most
| o the day, but the market absorbed the offer
ings and prices reached a higher point with
| each reaction. The market opened at about the
closing figures of saturday, then, with some
| fluctuations, advanced 19sc, receded slightly
and closed about 34c higher than Saturday.
Cables were encouraging to holders. All the
news. in fact, favored bulls Corn was traded
| in to a nominal extent at slightly higher prices,
the market ruling firmer in sympathy with the
| advance in wheat. A large local packer and
days bulge The market opened at Saturdays
| closing prices, was steady, but soon became
| stronger and advanced 2sc eased off some and
closed a shade better than Saturday. Oats
were traded in quite freely for May, but other
| deliveries were SLOW. A firmer feeling developed
and prices advanced s4c for May, and the mar
| ket closed steady at intermediate prices. More
distant futures sympathized with May, but
price changes were small. A fairly active trade
| was reported in mess pork and the feeling was
steadier. The earlier feeling was easy and
| prices receded &c, but this was quickly recov-
| ered and the market closed steady at outside
| figures. A stronger feeling was developed in
| lard, owing to stocks reported being lighter
than generally anticipated. On the whole, the
| range of prices were advanced 216015c, and the
| improvement was fairly well supported. Short
| ribs were fairly active and firmer. Prices ad-
| vancef 2I@015c and closed steady.
