Chicago Change,

Chicago, Feb. H.-The main point in the wheat bulls favor at the opening this morn ing was the action of the Liverpool market steady SS aihough the Seef @ s thst there is some Juggling in the English market is quite generally expressed, still sympathy in has not altogether been abandoned, and prices here at the start advanced es to 9sc over Saturdays final figures The cold wave was another thing that tended to encourage holders, but most everything else in the way of news was clearly not to the advantage of prices. The visible supply was great sur prise. Conservative Statistcians thought that a decrease of 500,O00 bushels would be right, and many people expected falling off of about 1,5O0,OO0 bushels. The final re- turns gave a decrease of only 193, ,000 bushels. May wheat opened at 66dG6Ac declined to 65hc, closing at G5ssc bid, A6pAc under yes terday. Cash wheat was steady.
 Corn-Moderate fluctuations, which were in line with the direction of wheat took place in corn. Neither buyers nor sellers could claim any advantage at the close, prices resting about where they, were at the light and presented no feature of interest. May corn opened at 3O1sdl3OAc, declined to 3Oc, closing at 3OlSc, unchanged from Satur- day. Cash corn was easier.
 Oats were dull and exhibited a fair condi- ton of steadiness. The strength, or weak ness of the market tended to harden or trading was too narrow to have any radical effect on prices. May oats closed unchanged from Saturday; Cash oats were steady. ,.
 Provisons-llogS arrived in unexpectedly large numbers at the yards this morning, and prices were quoted 5Gt10c lower. The result was that provisions opened weak and lower and after holding steady for a time again declined. Before the close the covering of previous shorts was effective in bringing about a fair rally. May, pork shade lower and May ribs unchanged Do- nestic markets were quiet and easy.
 The leading futures ranged as follows:

in Wall Street.

New York Feb. 1.-The transactions at the stock exchange were light today. At the start the market was inclined to weak ness chiefly on account of an unexplained break in Manhattan from 1854 to 1O3. The weakness of this stock made timid holders tighten their loads, and at the same time room operators and sold out bulls contribu- ted their share to bring about lower prices: But little success attended their combined efforts, and in the afternoon trading the en- tire list was advanced once more. The main cause for the confidence prevailing in the late session was the ease with which the successful bidders to the new government loan met their obligations and the an- nouncement from Washington that the Morgan syndicate had filed claim for all defaulted allotments at 1l0.6ST. The syndi- cate has deposited in the sub-treasury here sufficient gold to cover all defaults The fact that the first settlement has been met without the slightest disturbance to the money market, and that funds on time arc to be had at per cent for all dates, en- eouraged the bulls also. The particularly strong stocks in the late trading were Lake Shore Tobacco. Louisville and Nashville, New Jersey Central, Chicago Gas and Man haitian. The last named jumped to l068; Sugar first declined per cent, to ll2as, ana then rose to 115N and closed within frac- tion of the best of the day. It was again rumored that the directors intended declar- ing an extra dividend. The meeting for dividend purposes will be held early In March. Leather preferred dropped to SAA

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.

New York, Feb. 17.-(Special)-The fresh break in cotton, which began last week, con tinued today. The sharp decline in Liver pool on the heavy receipts caused q general liquidation of the long interest, and prices seem to have little no support. May opened at 763, ralued to 7.6i, declined to 7.5S and closed at 7.6l bid, with the tone quiet, but steady. The fall in cotton has been nearly F cent in the last eight days, and there seems to be less confidence among the bulls now that prices will have any substantial recovery than there was before the latest slump. The only buying is to cover shorts. This sort of support to the market may cause occasional rallies, but upon all such rallies we are inclined to favor sales.
 RIORDAN & co.
Birmingham state herald., 1896-02-18

receipts were comparatively large. Spot markets felt tie full force of floating stocks unless supported by-speeulaton- 'ob- -ject lesson" in what might happen to cot ton if the anti-option Legislation were pass ed. In word, prices declined sharply. The cotton planter or dealer came face to face with the cotton manufacturer, who is not willing to buy even at lower prices. The ones who bought were the hated bears, the Pariahs according to the cotton planter, of the business world. But for the covering of the shorts the decline would have been much greater. The little bulls broke and Liverpool and New York there is a differ ence of about 15 points This ought to cause q better export business. Infaet no freight engagements for Europe were reported to- day. The decline in prices, moreover, may cause some planters to think twice before increasing their acreage. Ii is said that some orders for fertilizers have already been cancelled. The close was steady at some recovery from the lowest prices, due to buying for the short account.
