shipments were also large, 81, 900
bushels, cCo,0c0 Of it from duluth, all
at the latter point having been sold to
Chicago elevator men, eastern shippers
and exporters. At IL o'clock May was
90c, December 89Hc. Up to within
fifteen minutes OF the close the market
held very firm with narrow trading
Efforts were then made to break the
price below calls, and May was sent
down to $685.. closing at 1875 q a4c bid
December closed at 89Ac.
Corn was dull but firm all day, MANI
ly in sympathy with wheat. Olferlngs
were more moderate and the demand
from shorts more general, wh1ch kept
prices a fraction higher most OF the
session. There was some buying IN
expectation of reaction after the re-
cent decline. Receipts were liberal
654 cars. The visible supply hgures
were corrected to read 1,lv5,000 bush
els decrease, instead of 100000, as OF
ficially announced yesterday. Clear
ances were $4,000 bushels. The close
was easier, following the little break
in wheat near the end. May ranged
from 2S7s@A &c to 2Sssc, closing shade
lower at 2Sas@hc.
Cats were firm and higher. Inc
market, however, was extremely duH
and without interesting features. Inc
strength in wheat and corn was sum-
Gent with the slack trade to cause
prices to advance. Elevator concerns
and commission houses did all the
buying, while the selling was scattered.
Receipts were posted at 597 cars. sea
board clearances were 267 900 bushels.
May ranged from 22Ac to 221sc, and
closed shade higher at 221sc. FRO
visions, though very dull, ruled nrm
and a little higher until near the
close. Receipts of hogs were smaller
than expected, and this, with ialr
local and outside demand, caused a
slight advance. Toward the close the
market became easier on realizing by
local operators and the advance was
lost. January pork closed 212c lower
at $3.50; January lard shade lower DIT
s4.27h@4.3O, and January rlps shdoe
lower at S422h@4.25.
Estimated receipts wednesday:
Wheat, 245 cars; corn, 4oo cars
oats. 315 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

New York. December Heavy trad
ing in Sugar marked the opening OF
the Stock market Tuesdays traders
appeared to be much excited on an UNI
confirmed rumor that an extra Givi-
dend would be declared. The short in
terest took fright and began to cover;
their active bidding resulted in an ad-
vance of 81 points in the first fifteen
minutes, later the price reacted points
and advanced / point. This series OF
fluctuations tended to unsettle specula-
ton on the general trend Of the market
was difficult to ascertain. The favor
able earnings of Union Pacific and
Northern Pacific having little effect on
those stocks, the railway shares in gen
eral were steady and room traders were
eager to prevent lower range of quo
tations; the easier prices received from
London had little significance as COM
paratively little business was accom-
plished by the foreign element. Sub
sequently there were features OF
strength among the specialties, notably
Tobacco, Illinois Steel and Manhattan.
Business became exceptionally well
distributed with keen brokers buying
the entire list. Prices yielded frac-
tionally in sympathy with the check
ing of Sugars advance, and the market
fell into dizziness. Southern preferred
was in demand and the price advanced
a point. Later speculation took on
new animation and broadened so as to
include almost the entire list. Prices
rose to the highest except for Sugar.
The net advance in a number OF the
prominent railroad stocks was nearly
a point. The Coalers generally showed
a better tone, but around noon the mar
ket again became dull and eased Off
slightly, only to be followed by another
rally and a close characterized by a
strong undertone.

savannah, May 12.-There was a fair
business done to-day in naval stores.
snrits turpentine was at a decline of 4
cent early, but recovered the loss and the
market closed firm. Window glass and
\ resins were advanced cents a barrel,
while other grades closed firm and I'M

cotton market was duh and nominal, with
sa.es of only bales at unchanged quota

corn meal The tone of the market for
corn and corn products was firm and ad-
vancing. Other wholesale markets were
steady and unchanged. The following re-
sumo of the different markets. both local
and Geographic, will show the tone and

New York, May 12-Riordan & Co. say
Of cotton to-day: Liverpool disappointed
the bulls greatly to-day. The early cables
reported that market as unchanged, but it
weakened sharply later in the day. In ad-
dition to this, Liverpool sent large sell
ing orders here and our market opened
weak at "A decline of points. The trading
was featureless in the morning, but in the
afternoon the market led by July, which
month apparently is mildly manipulated,
recovered the whole loss. The advance,
however, was not fully maintained. Au-
gust opened at 1850, declined to 1850, adj
vanced to 74Sc, declined to 1880, and closed
at 7.39 to 7.40c, with the tone of the mar
ket steady. Liverpool shows a decided in
clinaton to curtail her daily taking of
spot cotton. Speculat ton is absent from
the market. The local sentiment is in
favor of lower prices. While we can see
nothing to make short sales of the sum-
mer months attractive, we think that ex-
pectation of a material advance must be
relinquished until these conditions
change"

DRY GOODS.

New York, May 12.-The reflection of the
general market was not in support of a
large trade doing in dry goods this week,
but such signs were misleading as the

larger, though for account of stock chiefly

of cotton goods to China, Africa, South
America and other countries amounted to
1924 packages of a value OF $3.50, 900, the
