persons OF all ranks-earls. barons
and burgesses-to sign the rolls of
fealty.

NEW YORK, July I5-The dealings in the cotton future market were comparatively tame today. The fluctuations were more normal and the course of the speculation as a whole was more satisfactory to the smaller operators. The opening was at an advance of 29I7 points. The advance being chiefly in the near positions and being the result mainly of better cables from the English market than had been looked for. The foreign stability, while 1t lasted. the result of an increased demand for actual cotton from spinners. The late cables. however. were less bullish in consequence of the better advices from this side with regard to the crop and weather situation. Under the circumstances the local market eased of. but not very far before support was given. The old crop months received less attention than during any corresponding time for days past. There was talk from New Orleans to the ef- feet that the bull clique was losing no oppor- tunity to sell cotton and that its interest in the market had been reduced considerably thus far his week.

Chicago Grain and provisions.

CHICAGO. July l5.-wheat showed strength at times. although the opening easy and the market suffered break late in the ses- sion. The close was weak at a loss of b6A for September Corn ruled steady at a decline from yesterdays price, September closing A1 $ lower Oats were also steady closing low CT. while provisions were strong showing A gain of from 40 to $i.I2h.
 Damage reports and the strong cash situa- tion gave strength to wheat. although at the start weak cables and favorable weher caused
 feeling of weakness. September opened A dA@% lower at 77k977h to 77@S. Commis- sion houses proved good buyers at the decline however, and later bullsh advices from St Louis and buying orders from that point are said in a better tone and sent September up to 7SA. There were fair offerings by commis- sion houses and the advance was not without its setbacks. Just before the close long wheat bought earlier in the day, began to come out and the market suffered a break in which all the advance and more was lost September sold of to 77c, wheer 1t closed at a loss of kG%. Cearances equalled 369.eIo bushels Receipts from the Southwest and at primary markets were light compared with last year and Duluth reported l3I. total for the three points of lse, aaginst 5l last week and $40 a year ago.
 The show of strength in wheat held the corn market steady and the local traders who are bearishy inclined offered sparingly. Com mission houses supported the market through out the session, but were unable to save a break at the close when corn followed wheat. September opened h9k lower at 5o%d 5o% and closed with a loss of Ad% at 5oAG5o4s after having sold up to 5l and back to 5o3s. Receipts, te3 cars, 10 contract.
 Oats were rather quiet. but held steady and within a small range. influenced largely by other grains and the close reflected the break in a smaller degree. September was of E at 33% after ranging between S3%. the opening figure and 34k Receipts, I39 cars.
 There a sport in lard just before the close which sent the price of that product soaring. Provisions were strong throughout the day on buying by brokers thought to be acting for the large packers. With receipts at Western points showing a falling of the de- mand forced prices steadily upward Late in the session all attention turned to lard. Shorts made a concerted rush to cover and the price of September advanced to SS.7o, SLIPS over yesterdays close. September pork closed 7olA higher and ribs showed a gain of 4oc at S9 70.

the proportions looked for by the local element The strength there was mainly due to the ac- tive demand for spot cotton which spinners were eager to secure and 1t appears that the foreign trade and therefore disregarding the crop outlook and showing greater concern as to supply August opened here at l7 advance and other months at 297 advance. New Or leans hammered the early market a long time, but soon withdrew. leaving room traders to do as they pleased Shorts who expected to cover at a decline turned in and bought to 8 moderate extent although business was pro- ceeding slowly and there was nothing to in- dicate anything more ahead than dull and quiet market. Port receipts estimated at 700 against 700 last year. Cables closed steady at unchanged for old and l@2 points lower for new crop months.
