Murphy Q cos Grain Letter.

Chicago, January 3.-Wheat showed a heavy tendency on the curb this morning, due to the cables which were very indif- ferently dull. both English and continent al and the Argentine reports were of more favorable weather with prospects of heavy crops of wheat and corn en- couraging with no unfavorable conditions developing. More rain is desired. The Ar genuine exports were only 176,000 bushels of wheat, however, and 436,000 bushels of corn. The market opened a little lower on this news but Western winter wheat markets soon developed decided strength and prices advanced 11@Ac with consid- erable buying on fear of a cold wave sweeping down on the unprotected wheat. Prices later reacted with quiet trade. Trade was quiet after midday with small fluctuations The close was quiet.
 Corn opened very quiet but very steady and improved during the morning in sym pathy with wheat. The receipts continue the feature at the West and the move ment of new corn increasing but the grad ing is unsatisfactory as no contract corn being reported today at Chicago out of total of nearly 800 cars. Corn was quiet but firm in the afternoon.
 Provisions-There was 0 fairly active market with prices about steady. Live hogs were in fair supply with prices showing but little variation from yes- terday. Distribution at the West con- tinues good. Provisions were quiet and about steady late.

COTTON MARKET
 IS RATHER SHAKY Unloading Movement Began During the First Hour. SLIGHT RALLY AT NOON There Were Some Turns for Profits During the Afternoon, But the
 Ring for the Most Part
 Was Nervous.
SLIGHT RALLY AT NOON

New York, January 3.-The cotton mar ket opened steady. with prices off 1 to 8 points under scattering sales by disap- pointing Liverpool cables and tremen- dous movement of cotton at the ports Prospects for an increase of considerably over 100000 bales in the insight" for the week as compared with last year alarmed large and small holders alike and stimulated selling for short account around the opening.
 Before the end of the first hour the un- loading movement had grown to large proportions with commission houses in the lead as sellers. Nearly every one seemed to have cotton to dispose of while demand was extremely light and almost entirely of a profit-taking nature by room shorts. Later in the morning March broke to 7.95 and May to SOP under a small avalanche of cotton from Wall street, the south and Europe.
 While there was a slight rally towards midday the market had every appearance of working still lower before any pro- nounced change for the better was to be expected. Reports reached the ring to the effect that southern spot markets were easier, and the official estimates for to- morrow's receipts were of bearish av- craze.
 There were occasional rallies in the afternoon on turns for profits, but the ring for the most part was nervous and the market was irregular, with prices disposed to> seek still lower levels. Senti- ment for the time being was bearish. and the bears sold heavily on the theory that receipts would continue large for some time to come, and that more long cot ton remained to be liquidated before any decided reaction could occur. There was not a rally of consequence in the last hour, and the market closed barely steady at a net decline of 11@14 points.

 New Orleans. January 3.-In view of continued heavy receipts Liverpool dis played considerable composure, recording deliveries and 1-32 in spots, but on this side traders regarded developments more seriously, and longs especially proceeded to liquidate in liberal fashion. Offer ings from this source increased as the statistics of the week were announced, the amount in sight exceeding same week of last year by 10000 bales, and the vis- ible supply gaining 215,000 bales, as com pared with loss of 1900 bales the same week last year. Prices were gradually forced down under these influences, causing the market to assume tired ap- pearance. Closing quotations are about IS points under yesterday. The continued freedom of receipts has doubtless caused much disappointment amongst many who had been eagerly looking for a material diminution in the beginning of this year, and had based their transactions accord ingly. Sentiment has not entirely reverted to disfavor, however, there being numer- ous operators who consider the present condition of the market as presenting fa- vorable opportunities for investment. While the movement continues of the present scale, prices will be susceptible to a further depression, but the first sign of a material falling off will be signalized by rapid recovery.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, January 3.-Lower Liver pool cables, continued heavy movement to ports and the growing belief that the crop estimates are much lower than jus tified by the present outlook had ten dency to weaken the spot cotton market today and checked sales. The conditions resulted In a revision of quotations, mid ding and higher grades being reduced h, while the other grades remain unchanged Sales 400 bales spot and 2550 to arrive.
 The future market opened steady at a decline of points. Liquidation by tired longs, who are becoming alarmed by the heavy movement was the feature of the trading. Under this unfavorable inf1u- ence the market showed decided weak ness and declined steadily throughout the session, closing with net losses on the day of 15 to IS points.
