Chicago Change.

Chicago. Jan. 16..-The buying of wheat to-
dag was, principally TO cover shorts. Above
the calls there was pressure of wheat
against those privileges to check the adj
vance. May wheat opened from S0Ac to
S0lsc, advanced to s1G9l1sc, closing at Soc
&c higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was
firm and 1seFAc higher.
The strength of wheat impaired some firm
ness to corn, but trade showed no improve
ment. May corn opened at 24ssdi24Sc sold
at 24AM24Ac, closing at 2iAc-1sc higher than
yesterday. Cash corn was firm with no
particular change in prices.
; Oats derived benefit from the Improvement
elsewhere prevailing. Moderately good
trading at intervals took place. May oats
closed kqAc higher than yesterday. Cash
oats were firm.
Heavier arrivals of hogs than estimated
lower prices for them and the prospect OF
overwhelming run on Monday deprived
product of every pretense of hrmness at
the opening. Trading was moderate and
there was no feature of interest AT the
close May pork was a shade higher than
yesterday, may lard and ribs unchanged.
Leading futures ranged as follows:

New York. Jan. five have had a very
dull week in cotton with fluctuations with
in a narrow range. the highest and lowest
prices for March having been ia and 7
cents, respectively. Today an unsatisfactory
Liverpool report resulted in a further de-
cline of or points March opened at
7.e4, closed at 7@701, with the tone quick.
But the demands was brisk at the decline,
and after today are inclined to think
that the turning point in prices, not only
of cotton, but all commodities, has been
reached. There is no doubt that trade at
last is improving slowly, perhaps, but surely.
In Wall street today stocks We're booming;
the war clouds in every quarter are passing
and the outlook for business seems at last
very hopeful. There is only one contin-
gency In our opinion which can prevent a
decided Improvement in the prices of cot
ton, We mean a renewal of big receipts
and this We think very improbable. In
our judgment now is the time to buy cot
ton. RIORDAN & CO.

New York, Jan. 1G.-Business was more
active at the stock exchange today than for
hours Of trading reached the large total Of
2o8,15S shares. The activity was accom-
panied by decidedly higher range of prices
and taken altogether more cheerful tone
prevailed in financial and stock circles. The
revival Of speculative interest was due
principally to the magnificent showing made
by the bureau of statistics of the condition
of the country'S international trade for the
past year. For the period named the ex-
cess of exports over imports aggregated
$S25, 1872 1s4, the largest total in twenty years.
The steady increase in the amount of net
total standing at over s140000,0 600 at the com
mence,nent of business today together with
the great ease in money in the local market
were also favorable factors. Another bull
argument was the announcement by Sem
ator Sherman of his acceptance of the port
folio of secretary of state and the statement
that the United States would not interfere
in the Cuban trouble. In some quarters this
was looked upon as strong indication of the
incoming administrations attitude toward
Spain. A further gain in the bank reserve
stimulated buying in the closing tradins
The increase in reserve amounted to S.
49, 75, and the banks now hold s52. ,525
in excess of legal requirements. The in
crease in specie was $500, and in lega,
prices was equal to j4@3 per cent. The lat
