MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.


New York, May 2.-(SpeciaL )-Specula-
ton in cotton this week, though mainly of
q local character, has shown increased ac-
tivity, and May, June, July and August to-
day all sold above cents, June fetching
S.O6 Mr.. Inman was a seller today, in order,
as he told friends to keep the market from
going up too fast. The beated shorts were
evidently alarmed and bought with great
activity until towards the close. 1t was
noticed that Mr. Inman was selling when
the, market eased a couple of points. Au-
gust opened at 7.9S, advanced to 8.04 and
closed at 799aS cents, with the tone quiet
but steady. The Chronicles crop advioes
were highly favorable, and the fall and
winter months Jagged in the advance as
usual. That the sharp rise in the summer
months is entirely a matter of manipula-
ton, advantage being taken of local and
temporary conditions, seem sufficiently
plain from the indifference with which Liv-
erpool treats the advance and the stubborn
ness with which the winter months refuse
to join in it. We believe that there are
limitations to rise so palpably artificial as
the present one, it seems to us that 1t is
bound to collapse whenever the short in
1ergEt shall have been substantially covered
orr whenever the premium on certain
months shall have reached a figure that will
attract cotton here from other markets.
One or the other of these contingencies can
not be far off. For this reason, while it
may still be dangerous to sell the. summer
months, we cannot advise anybody to buy
them. Sooner or later we believe they will
have a tumble far more rapid than the
recent rise.

Chicago Change,

Chicago, Ill, May 2.,May wheat worked
| below 60 cents today, thereby verifying the
Predictions of the bears which a few weeks
ago were believed to be preposterous. The
cash stuff was delivered freely today, and
nobody seemed to want it. July wheat
opened at 62ls@62l4c, sold between 622s and
Il z, closing at 617sG62c. &G7sc under yester-
day. Cash wheat was weak and 1sc per
bushel lower.
Corn INTERESTINGLY acquiesced in the
weakness conveyed to 1t by wheat. Traders
could put forth no argument why 1t should
10 otherwise. July corn opened at 295sc,
sold between 2924 and 29l2@29Ssc, closing at
295sc, BG4c under yesterday. Cash corn
was easy and Ac lower.
Oats-Very little interest attached to this
market, and changes were slow. The tone
was however, steadier than either in wheat
or corn, due to the existence of short
interest, which was in process of covering.
There were no oats taken from store. July
oats closed 1sc higher than yesterday. Cash
oats were steady to firm.
Observation-Disclosures was evidently
more influenced by grain than the hog mar
ket. The latter was reported steady to
irm, yet provisions opened easy, but with
only a moderate business. The speculative
weakness of wheat and corn had an imme-
diate effect and prices were weak except in
May ribs, which exhibited some steadiness.
July pork closed 7la@10c lower, July lard a
shade lower and July ribs 2l2c higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

there was considerable realizing and most
