Flour sales dropped of, two Mime
apolis firms only selling 900 bar
rels Saturday. The very large liqui-
dation latter part of last week was
continued today on long wheat and
it was limited that some heretofore
bullish parties had shifted their posi-
ton to the bear side.
Corn-Decreased for the week

large and country sold freely to-day.
The estimate for Tuesday, $50 cars,

believe in purchases of corn.
Oats-Have been steady, giving
way less in price than any other
cereal. Cash demand fair.
Provisions ruled steady, but not
sympathizing with weakness in
other pits, Notwithstanding local
trade was looking and working for
reaction in prices. Cash trade quiet.

New York, Jan. 3O.-The
Times this morning asserts that
the maEeuvers of the ships of
the North Atlantic squadron
have thus far been unsuccess-
full. The only thing that has
been developed has been the
weakness of the boilers, ma
chinery and apparatus for
working the turrets and large
guns.
Shortly after the feet left
Hampton Roads the tubes in
the boilers of the battleship In
diana began to leak. The leaks
grew so that the vessel could
not steam more than six knots
an hour.
1t was also found on the trip
that the turrets of the large
ship would not work well. 1t
is expected that when target
practice is begun most of the
turrets will jam and become un-
manageable.

COTTON.

New YorS, January 3l.-Cotton
was a tame affair today Our prices
were unchanged to one point decline
and up to the last hour the changes
were unimportant. All interest was
apparently withdrawn, owing to in
clement weather and big movement
at ports, especially at New Orleans.
This caused revision OF estimates
for week at ports which are now ex-
pected to reach 22,5OO. This free
movement has for the time being
checked but is expected to prove
merely temporary. Meanwhile bears
fear to extend their lines on the
short side. fearing an early let-np in
receipts to recent figures. Our mar
ket for futures kept within 4 range
of points for the day, closing at
unchanged prices to l point decline.
Port receipts today 66, ,293 against
IS, 162 last year and 12,s11 the big
crop.
