 Port receipts 2500 bales against SfI bales last year. Spot cotton was unchanged, 36f bales were sold for spinning, 592 bales for export and 100 bales delivered on contract.
 Bombay receipts for the half week were 23.0OO bales, against 2l,000 bales for the same time last year.
 Todayis features: The rise in Liverpool and a bullsh bureau report together with heavy receipts at the ports caused small advance on mod crate trading. The speculation shows less activity to be sure. but the friends of cot ton believe that the price must ultimately reach a higher level. Not for ten years has the bureau issued in June so unfayor- decrease in the acreage is stated at H.S per cent. and this. with the bullish report, issued by the Chronicle on the 9th instant, is regarded as conclusive evidence that the acreage devoted to cotton has really been reduced to a very important level. There is no doubt that the corn acreage of the south is much larger than ever and the increasing cultivation of rice IS an- other evidence of the disposition to diver sify the crop, which naturally has ten dency to cut down the acreage devoted 10 cotton. The south shows less and less dis position to carry all it's eggs in one basket, it will rely on something besides cotton.

July wheat opened from S03s to SOlsc.. sold between ,s11sQ791ac, closing at soc, 1Ac lower than Saturday.
 Corn--The market was rather dull in corn today, owing to the inactivity of wheat having a qu1eting effect, and prices sym is very little fear entertained as to the ulti- mate yield of the growing crop of corn. This is the main factor in the market when it displays any independence of action. between 5l1s and 52c, closing at 521sq52hc was 1ac lower and closed weak.
 Oats were IS firm as circumstances would allow. The government was expected to report adversely on the crop and this an ticipation, with the continued good eastern movement contributed good amount of strength, which resisted the weakening in- nuence of wheat and corn. until late in the session, when prices eased away fraction ally. July oats closed E4Ac lower than Saturday. Cash oats were steady early. but closed easy with the futures.
 Provisions were probably affected by the general lassitude. They were never active during todays session, although the senti ment was in favor or higher prices. The latter tone was weak, and especially so for pork. There was some sympathy with grain in the latter part of the day. At the close July pork was 2Rc lower, July lard was shade higher and July ribs 212c higher.
