Chicago, Nov. 1L-Bull news did not count
in wheat today, was bull effort produc-
tive of any result Wheat was for sale at
all times and at all prices and the demand
was without energy. The puts" We're the
principal support and had 1t not been for
the buying against those privileges there
decline than that which took place would
have been recorded. December wheat OPP
ened from 77%c to 77hc, sold between 7Sc
and 1880 closing at 1854 0761sc-1ssnl12c un-
der yesterday. Cash wheat was weak and
1Q11hc lower.
The business in corn was dull. The feel
ing was easier in sympathy with wheat's
decline. The narrow range within which
prices moved was governed to a great ex-
tent by the proximity of puts and calls to
each other, although the latter privileges
had but little to do with the question. May
corn opened at 2S14c, declined to 27Ac, clos
ing at 277sc-asG1gc under yesterday. Cash
corn was weak and lie lower on new ana
1Rc lower on old.
Oats-With very little doing and very
little interest in the market, prices OF oats
declined in response to like action IN wheat
and corn. May oats closed AMSsc under
yesterday Cash oats were AQ1ac lower.
The provision market showed almost a
unanimous lack of confidence on the part
of holders. Hogs were In heavy supply mere
and at all western points. The promise or
a continued heavy movement from the
country and the rather slow. cash demand
were exceedingly unfavorable to hgher
prices. At the close January pork was loc
lower January lard TIC lower and Janu-
airy ribs 5071ac lower.

Cotton Letter.

New York, Nov. 17.-Liverpool was rather
better than had been expected today and
our market opened few points higher, but
the receipts were again staggering in vol
anne and the improvement was soon lost.
The day was rather dull one, the bulls
being afraid to buy and the bears not car
ing to sell. The feeling grew better in the
afternoon. January opened at 7.6S, declined
to 1852, rallied to 1853, and closed at 767Q7.6S
with the tone quiet and steady. 1t is use
less to deny the fact that the receipts of
the last ten days have been a bitter disap-
pointment to the bulls, who now constitute
nine-tenths of the traders here. If these
receipts keep up prices will go lower, but
I'VE are trusting that each day will bring us
some relief from the unexpected avalanche
of cotton which is forcing the market down
