snn,s Cotton Review.

New York, March 20.-The SUMS cotton
review says: Cotton advanced to points,
lost this and declined to points on this
crop and to points on the next, closing
steady at general decline through the list
of about 3 points, with sales of 1856, 100 balesA
Today's features: In the main the news
was bullsh, and accordingly, in spite of Il
vague rumor at one time that trouble was
pending in Wall street, and also in spite of
considerable long liquidation and not a lit
tie short selling, the net decline was very
slight, rather significant fact in view of
the recent sharp advance. Dry goods are
quiet in New York, 1t Is true, but Fall Riv-
er sold 900 pieces of print CLOTH The
outside interest in the speculation is not SO
large as Ii might be- but still 1t Is larger
than 1t was recently. The Wall street ru-
NOR growing out of a routine meeting of
the clearing house committee, proved to be
a weak invention. Consols were down, ow-

the other hand, receipts were light stocks
were small. the general dry goods statlsti-
cal position was regarded as strong, and in
Texas the season is backward. Further
more, Liverpool paid practically no atten-
ton to the decline here Of Yesterday and
sent word that even today's slight decline
was likely to be only temporary. Many re-
garded today's decline as only natural re-
action. Staunch friends OF cotton say that

Chicago Change.

Chicago, March pa recovery was ex-
pected In wheat today, but the unexpected
happened and a decline occurred instead.
At the close the net loss from yesterday
was an insignificant one, but during the
morning prices were more than a cent un-
on wheat took place after noon and was
due to buying against puts" and covering
by shorts There very little outside
trade, the bulk of the business being purely
local and professional. The news was gen
orally adverse to values. May wheat
opened at 61BQ621sc, sold between SPA and
61ssc, closing at 62lsc, 1s4Ac under yester-
steady.
Corn-Corn was inclined to weakness, and
as wheat started the downward movement
the sympathy existing between the grains
caused prices in this market to be depre-
ciated. When the finer grains recovered
alive power and gained only slight por-
tion of the early loss. May corn opened at
291s0I299sc, sold between 299s and 292sc, clos
ing at 29asd29lac, "a under yesterday. Cash
corn was easy and 2hc per bushel lower.
Oats-Recessions took place in oats, In
huenced by the weakness which prevailed
In wheat and corn. Business was spo:.Il In
oats closed NC lowe-.. sash oats were weak
and AQ1ac HleElsr.
Proyisions-There was more pounding
and more liquidating in provisions this
morning, the effect of which was seen in a
decline in all articles The pressure was
removed later in the session, and then
prices went back where they were al the
start At the close May pork was 212c
higher than yesterday May lard a shade
higher and May ribs unchanged. The do
nestle markets were quiet.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.


New York, March 20.-(Special)-T cot
ton market, after a lively day, closed tri-
file lower than yesterday. Liverpool was
nearly 3-64d lower this morning, but res
gained the loss. May opened at I'LL ad-
vanced to 776, declined to 7.65, and closed at
7.6Sd769 with the tone steady. The pre-
vailing feeling here is bearish, but the local
traders have a wholesome fear of the lead
Ing operator, whose simple presence around
the ring is noteworthy factor in support
ing the market. Under existing conditions
1t is difficult to forecast the immediate flu
ture of prices, but we incline to the opinion
that the short interest is now SO largely re-
duced that 1t will not be so easy hereafter
to create a scare as it has been earlier in
the week. We favor sales on rallies
