Review of the Markets by Leased
Wire.

"tFt.
Fort Worth, Jan. 10.-McPeak & Co.
say:
Liverpool opened shade lower and
at p m. was quiet at fully 1-6id de-
cline. 1t was generally expected that
this would bring about decline Of
or points on this side, but the UNI
changed condition OF Liverpool spot
market, which reported a good busl-
ness done with 1900 sales helped to
make a very conservative opening In
our markets at only ! point below last
night. Prices. however were firm. and
the second round showed / point re-
covery, after which the market be-
came easier and remained quiet with
out feature throughout the remainder
of the session, closing duh at the low
est point Of the day and 8 points be-
low last night.
Sales, 72,SOO bales,
Liverpool closed quiet at 2-Gid de-
cline from yesterdays final. Receipts OF
cotron on that side were 1900. OF which
%, 500 were American. Spots in New
York and New orleans were un-
changed. the former being dull and
easy with no sales and the latter easy
with 1850 sales by factors and $50 to
arrive.
Port receipts were 274ls. against H.
G43.
The amount OF the Texas crop which
has come into sight so fac, is 1856, 900
bales, against 1885, 900 bales same time
last year, or 10000 bales MORE than
her entire crop of 1898, and within 5000
bales OF the entire crop of 1891. We
received from this time on last year
100000 bales. Surprising that we re-
ceiYe the same amount from this time
on, Texas VIII show crop of 2s5j, 900
bales. which has been about our Idea
of her crop.
Grain,
Chicago. ILL.,, Jan. 10.-To f. G, Me-
Peak & Co. Early cables reported very
little change in the foreign markets.
Wheat opened about l-2c higher than
yesterdays close due principally TO
the report OF about 100000 bushels
having been Inspected out from st.
Louis during the past week. Some re-
ports creditlng Il TO direct export sales,
others simply to change in storage
AS near as we can learn, II has gone
to several different points, some by
way OF New Orleans for export, some
to Baltimore for export ana storage
probably $4,000 TO Newport News on
the cut rate In freight. perhaps for
storage. The chances are that only a
very small part Of 1t Will ever appear
again in sight. Later the cables re-
ported higher markets abroad, especial
ly the continent, also farmers deliv-
cries in England and on the continent
We're light, with prices tending upward,
Minneapolis mklers sold about 1000
barrels of -four for export. The eX-
port clearances were 100000 bushels
against less than 100000 bushels re-
ceipts at primary points. The news on
the whole was bullish, but the market
displayed littie vim after opening. For
the past week there appears To have
been liberal offering around IS LIE, and
today was no exception, II seems to be
u question whether this Is short sell
ing or only for account of some OF the
large speculative or elevator holdings.
Corn-Rathcr firm; shorts in May
seem to be getting a little uneasy, ow-
ing to receipts and the poor grading.
The feeling is growing that good
portion of the surplus corn has been
marketed, u great deal having gone
TO the localities where the supply was
restricted by the drought, and that the
portion that Is back is held by strong
holders who will not be anxious to sell
until there Is at least fair prospect
for another crop. Should this senti-
ment prevail to any extent In the
country, II may make light receipts
Tie carry ppAllts 49,
Proyisions-The receipts of hogs were
over the estimate. not only here, but
they were liberal all over the country.
Trading in the pit was of scalping
nature, with the sentiment rather IA
vorlng lower prices.
