Chicago Change.

Chicago. Feb. S-The shorts in wheat cleaned up their trades for the week during the first hours trading today, and the 'longs" followed their example afterwards. side prices. Liverpool conveyed dsappoint- ment at the opening, quotations at that place being weak and unchanged. Initial trading was, therefore, at a loss from yes- terday,. but the buying displayed greater force than the selling and a recovery re- suited. When the demand was fully satis- fled the offerings grew larger, promised by 9 desire on the part of the buyers early in tine week to realize. and prices gradually sank until checked by buying against puts" May wheat opened from 67A to 67ikm67Ac. 1c under yesterday. Cash wheat sold at steady prices, but closed weak in sympathy with the futures
 Trading in corn was light in volume and ness was transacted at fairly steady prices. May corn opened at 30iaM305sc, sold between 305s and 3Ossm30lac closing at the inside, 3sMAc under yesterday. Cash corn was steady, whilst trading was in progress, but closed nominally.
 The oats market was dull and slow. The fact that 1t was Saturday and a short ses- sion contributed to the disinclination to wheat and corn May oats closed lac under yesterday. Cash oats were steady, closing easy.
 Provisions-Wheat was blamed for the loss in value of products today. Although at the opening there was some uneasIness manifested, still it was of but temporary duration. the buying very soon showing were lower, to which fact the lack of strength at the start was ascribed. With the decline in grain, products sympathized At the close May pork was Dc under yester- day, May lard 5GTAc lower and May ribs unchanged.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.


 New York Feb. S.-(Special)-The fiuc- tuations in cotton during the week just ended has been trfiing and without signif- canoe, May closing today just points low CT than week ago. Liverpool was un- changed this morning and our opening was trifie lower, May selling on the call at S.04. The trading was dull and mainly con fined to local operators. May declined to SOP, and afterwards rallied to S05, the close was quiet and steady with the final trans actions in May S.W. The overshadowing influence upon the market continues to be the fear of large over production during the coming season. This fear, we find. is general throughout the cotton belt, and is strongest among those who are in a position to be well informed as to the extent and meaning of the planting preparations now going on. The south is a chronic and her speculators are seldom willing to sell cotton short. Usually they buy or else they re- main out of the market altogether. but the expectation of too much cotton next fall is so strong and so general at this time that orders are coming in daily from every part of the south to sell the fall months at pres ent prices, and we hear that these short sales would be enormously large if the farmers could command the cash margins necessary to make the venture, but while there seems to be substantial unanimity of opinion that prices for October and Mo- vember cotton will ultimately be much low CT the case is different with the spring and summer deliveries. Many still cling to the opinion that, as to these there will be a higher market, passing their views upon the present low quotations, as compared with spot prices in the leading markets, and upon the hope of lighter receipts. But we ourselves, have little faith now in any ma terial advance, and would rather sell upon every good rally.
