Chicago, Nov. 14.-Whilst wheat declined
in price today it was not without meeting
with considerable resistance Several times
1t rallied with enough vim to cause shorts
just little uneasiness and to set them
scurrying for cover. The cash situation
gave token of less congestion and 1t was
said that an offer of No. spring wheat to
New York at Sc under the December price
was rejected with the statement that II was
yet 4c too high. December wheat opened
from S014 qS01sc declined to 7S%, closing at
79c-11sc under yesterday. Cash wheat was
weak and lie lower. 20
Corn-A natural lowering of the price or
corn took place. The undertone OF the
market lacked firmness and the action or

been OF late, and the trade was devoid OF
character or incident May corn opened at
2S1ac sold between 2S9sG2Sl4 Q2Sssc, closing at
2S3sc-kMAc under yesterday. Cash corn
was 1zc per bushel lower.
Oats were quiet. and uninteresting
few unimportant buying and selling orders,
share as usual at any time were executed,
but further than that the market was fea-
tureless for prices depended upon the feel
ing manifested by the other grams. May
oats closed a shade lower. Cash oats were
steady for good, but easy for other kinds
Provisions-Lower prices We're quotaDle IN
this market the decline being due to the
weakness of grain, as well as of hog prices.
Trade was slow and barren Of feature. AT

Cotton Letter.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE week ends with
q lower market for cotton. The movement
has been very disappointing one for the
bulls and the heavy selling which 1t oc-
casioned brought on liquidation of rather
serious proportions, though the bears in
sist that this has only began. Liverpool
today declined less than was expected, and
our market opened higher January selling
on the call at 7.S4, but it soon became evil
dent that there was plenty of cotton for
sale at ne advance. Buyers soon got all
they wanted and the price declined to IT'S.
then rally of few points took place and
the close was steady, with IT'S bid for Janu-
AIRY, the same as yesterday. After the close
the market was somewhat easier. The de-
cline has not shaken our faith in higher
market later in the season, but the situa-
ton is just this: An overwhelming MAORI
ty of the traders in cotton think it will ui-
timately go higher. These traders all have
a limit beyond which they don't care to
hold cotton The limit of one man is one
hundred bales, of another five hundred
bales, of third thousand bales, and SO
on. They have all bought their limit. No
body dares to be short. All the holders
intend to keep their cotton until an adj
vance gives them a profit Even then,
ninety-nine out of every hundred would
refuse to take profit, but would hold on
in the hope of a larger profit The existence
of this enormous long interest makes the
market top-heavy and constitutes the chief.
danger of further and disastrous de-
cline. For, when margins give out cotton
has to be sold, no matter at what sacrifice..
and SO vast lines of weekly held cotton
are liable to topple at any time like row
of bricks, and be precipitated upon the
market, for prices cannot be supported
by hopes and opinions, however strong and
unanimous. 1t requires buying and plenty
of it and as we have said the buyers have
all been filed up to their limit. Liverpool
believes in a big crop and is constantly
selling. Who is to buy her offerings in
the near future we fear that there is no
hope of any material advance at present
except through such drop in the receipts
as would brighten Liverpool, on the other
hand the danger of a further decline seems
to us under all the circumstances very seri-
indeed.
