Suns Cotton Review.

New York, Dec. 3.-The Suns cotton view says: Cotton rose points. but lost this and declined to g points. closing easy. with sales of 102300 bales. Liverpool sold ROO0 bales on the spot at hardening, but unchanged prices.
 The ports received 45,216 bales. against s. 46l bales last week.
 In Manchester yarns were quiet but steady, and cloths were quiet. Spot cotton here was dull at 1-16c decline, with sales of 204 bales for spinning and 300 bales for de- liverieS on contract. The exports from the ports approximated 5000 bales.
 Today's features: Though early prices ad- vanced under the influence of an unexpected rise in Liverpool, an increased post busi- ness, a more pacific political situation, an advance in consols, small interior receipts. a light estimate for Houston tomorrow, some Liverpool buying and more or less local covering, yet the market subsequently, fell, owing partly to rather large estimated re- ceipts at New Orleans tomorrow Q2000 to 14,000 bales), partly to dull and declining spot markets and partly to bear hammering, but more than all to an absence of outside speculative interest n cotton at the present time. Although the spot business in Liver pool is large, the spot demand at the south S so small that prices are declining. Yet the market is believed by its friends to have a firm undertone, and they maintain that sooner or later the purely commercial mer- its of cotton will prove an adequate founda- tion for a vigorous speculative campaign in the interest of better prices.

Chicago Change.

Chicago, Dec. 3.-The bull sentiment in wheat suffered in enthusiasm between yes terday's close and this mornings opening and throughout the days session the feel ing was pronouncedly weak. Bradstreet's furnished a report of the worlds stocks about noon, which under ordinary condi- tions would have been instrumental in pro- ducing a better tone but holders were dis couraged and sold freely, with the result that prices reacted with loss of almost a cent from yesterdays close. May wheat opened from 61ss to 61bc, declined to 60ssc closing at 60laG607sc, 7sc under Saturday Cash wheat was AM1ac lower, closing nomi- nally weak with the futures.
 Corn-This grain declined in value through it's dependence on wheat. The business was not such as would attract at tention, and the session passed uneYent- fully. The market opened quiet and easy, subsequently, displaying but little in the way of strength or frmness. May corn opened at 29q291sc, declined to and closed at 2SBc, 1Ic under yesterday. Cash corn was weak and AM1c per bushel lower.
 took place about the middle of the session. It was said that eastern buyers of cash oats were endeavoring to resell the stuff bought lately. The weakness of the cash market extended to the futures and an all round decline followed. May oats closed 3s4hc un- der yesterday
 Provisions-The hog market recovered its loss of yesterday on the receipts this morn ing being as much under the estimate as they were over it yesterday. Up to noon products prices obtained benefit from this, but after that time the weakness of wheat exerted an influence. At the close May pork and ribs were each 212c higher and May lard shade higher than yesterday.

THE MARKETS.
Cotton Letter.


 New York, Dec. 3.-(Special.) 1.-The com paratively heavy receipts today and the lack of buying power combined to cause a further break. Liverpool was slightly high CT and opening prices here showed some improvement, January selling. on the call at S.9 For time the market was steady, though intensely dull; but, the dullness gradually gave way to depression and prices slowly yielded, owing to the constant pres sure of liquidating sales. until January touched S2O Then the bears, who, until the last hour had kept rather quiet, began to help the selling and January rapidly de- clined to S.15, at which price it closed with the tone easy. As we said yesterday, the course of prices in the immediate future will hinge entirely upon the receipts. Even the bears feel and admit that the temper of the market may change in trice and that it may recover in a day all that it has lost in fortnight. But as long as the receipts keep up on the large scale of the last two days, we fear that the support needed to cause a recovery will be lacking.
