Chicago Change.


 Chicago. March 2.-The wheat market to- day was noted for sharp fluctuations and temporary buoyancy. At one time prices were about 1lsc above yesterdays closing, but part of the bulge disappeared before the day was over. St. Louis led theIboom and was also responsible for the subseduent break. May wheat at that place jumped to cents over yesterday, but afterwards lost 3 cents It was said that a short in3 that market settled after which thep rice was permitted to drop. May wheat opened at 759s4752sc, advanced to 75A, closing at 75a @75Bc-l9c higher than yesterday. Cash 1ac higher.
 Trading in moderate with no feature or noteworthy characteristic com mission houses were the best buyers whilst there was some selling. The general senti- ment in this grain is far from bearish. Some of today's selling was assumed to be for St. Louis account. May corn opened at 241sc, sold at 24Kc, closing at 21sc-un- changed from yesterday. Cash corn was steady.
 The oat market was dull also and neglect ed. There was no particular change in cash oats. The trade was moderately ac- tive and featureless.
 ProVisons-The provision market was fairly steady at the opening. but after wards became heavy with trade stagnant. A decline in hog prices was the primary motive for weakness. May pork and lard each closed 7@c lower than yesterday. May ribs 5c lower. Hides were quiet and firm. Natives heavy

Cotton Letter.

New York, March 2.-There was a sharp drop in prices on the cotton exchange to- day. Traders were again disappointed this morning by the Liverpool cables. which re- ported a decline of 1-64 in that market and prices here were points down at the open ing. The market made feeble effort to rally early In the day but the bull enthus- iasm has received a check in the last two days, and when large selling orders came in from Liverpool, which market furnished our chief support yesterday quick drop ensued. The execution of May stop or ders accelerated the decline. May opened at 715 advanced to TIT, declined to 710 and closed at 7n9712, with the tone of the market steady. The southern markets re- main firm and unchanged quotations. The liquidation here has been heavy and we do not expect this decline to prove either serious or lasting. RIORDAN & co.

New York. March 2.--In the early trading at the stock exchange the market was in- clined to weakness. The foreign selling attributed to uneasiness prevailing in but in the aggregate stocks sold for this account was of insignificant proportions. The decline was also unimportant except in the case of Jersey Central and Manhat- tan. Jersey Central dropped per cent. to 93A on sales of brokers who have been active in depressing the stock for some time past Manhattan fell to S555 on the revival of the reports of the dividend not being paid The early loss in the general list was only A to % per cent. In the after strong stocks Omaha was conspicuous for rise to 53, the highest point of the year. Lake Shore however, was strong, jumping from 1G7 to Ill. All the other Vanderbilt railroad properties moved up in sympathy. In the late trading there was some disposi- tion to take profits and the market receded fractionally At the close the market was firm. Net changes show gains of 1s to % per cent.
