Yesterday the bulk of the selling was for that city, but as if re- gretting such action. the buying orders to- day were from there. Shorts" covered freely today and there was not a little in- vestment by people whose faith in the ulti- mate outcome was shaken by the setback received during the earlier days of the week. May wheat opened from S2c to 817sc, sold be- higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was firm and 1c higher.
 Quiet trading of no moment and attended by no feature was noted in corn. The va garies of the wheat market were initiated on a mo lern scale, but the business was not heavy enough to cause material changes in prices or broadness in fluctuations. May corn opened at 253sc, sold between 25Ac and 25$s@ 251Ac, closing at 25ssc-a shade over yes terday. Cash corn was steady and un-

 The market for product was narrow The feeling at the start was derived from the hog market but later it was influenced more or less by the action of wheat. At the close firmness predominated. May pork closed DC higher May lard and ribs each 2la@5c higher

Markets by. Telegraph.
Coftnn Iiat.ar.

New York, Jan. 7.-The market looks bulish. At the opening a disappointing Liverpool caused some selling. and as there was little outside support in the shape of buying orders, prices yielded a few points. March opened at 6.99 and de- clined to 6.97. It soon became apparent, however that though there was little de- mand for cotton, the offerings were still less. Though many talked in a bearish strain, nobody seemed to want to sell shorts. Prices gradually hardened until March had sold a TOT. Throughout the afternoon the market continued firm. The leading German bear was the largest buyer. The close was steady. with roc bid for March. After the close bidders were offering TOT for March. The re- ceipts were again decidedly light It is the growing conviction that they will continue to decrease. That caused the advance. Should the receipts of single day be large it would probably occasion a sharp reaction, but if the reduction in the movement should be continuous, which we think probable, prices may go higher. :

RIORDAN & co
Sun's Cotton.

New York Jan. 7.-Spot cotton here advanced 1-16c. with sales of 100 bales for export and thirty-one for spinners. Midding uplands, S-16c, against SAc. last year. New Orleans and gulf, 1-1ec., against Size. last year.
 The speculation today was extremely dull and uninteresting. The trading, what there was of it, was almost wholly local and the fluctuations in prices were confined within a narrow rangeSs The course of the Liverpool market was dis appointing, and at the opening prices here declined slightly. But there was very little pressure to sell and on small demand, the loss was recovered and prices slowly advanced. The receipts at the ports and the interior towns were light and there was a small demand here for account of New Orleans. The mar ket there will be closed tomorrow and shorts covered. The dullness of the speculation, however, offset the small crop movement and prevents any marked rise in prices.
