Western stock that came in Saturday
cleaned up quickly at good prices. AS usual
on Monday there was practically no market
for local stock and prices nomnaly un-
changed All indications point toward act

owing to the extra demand among the Chinese
for the approaching holidays. and it is ex-
pected that the receipts of Western will be
comparatively light. A few cases of dressed
Turkeys came in, but there was very little in
quiry and prices were largely nominal
Aside from slight decline in Gray Geese,
there were changes in Game. Receipts
were moderate and everything cleaned up well,

Ne1U York Cotton Market.

NEW YORK. Feb. S.-While the serious
news from the Far East had naturally a de-
pressing influence, the relative frmness at
Liverpool caused a somewhat firmer opening
in the cotton market to-day and first prices
were IL to 10 points higher
Following this there was a further advance
carrying May up to 14.35c and July to IA 40c
a net gain of IS TO Al points. but toward the
end OF the first half hour there was tremen-
dous selling from outside sources and the
market in less than ten minutes had broken
nearly & full cent from the best point of the
morning. Around IL o'clock the most sensa-
tional changes OF the season occurred. May,
which had sold down to is. soc. jumped to
sec and broke to 13.14c, while July, which
had been depressed 10 13.50c. rallied to 13S2c
and then broke TO 1319c all inside Of twenty
minutes.
Around midday the market rallied. March
had declined TO 1241c May TO 13.02c and July
to 13.0Sc this being a net loss from the net
prices Of the morning of from 119 to 1873. At
this level there considerable covering and
by 1 O'Clock the market had recovered TO

there was another downturn under Hquida-

timated at 700, eco bales.

Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables

The Potato market controlled by few
houses. who held the bulk of supplies. and
prices of Oregon and river Burbanks ruled
firm. There was a good speculative demand
sive shipping interests in the Orient bought
up the bulk of the recent heavy arrivals. It
was reported that the steamer George W. Ell
der, due to-day, would bring about OO00 sacks
and local retailers were operating cautiously
buying no more than was necessary TO supply
and freshly arrived carload offered at
decline. Stocks of Onions continued light and
the market ruled firm at a further advance.
Receipts of Tomatoes from Los Angeles were
more plentiful than usual, being 165 packages,
and prices ranged lower. Receipts of all other
moderate and prices well maintained
Hothouse Cucumbers were plentiful and lower.

depressing influence upon fresh fruits and re-
tailers were taking more than absolutely
necessary to supply the regular trade. The
Orange market was demOralized with the de-

in the open market and in the auction rooms.
TangeriEes were in demand among the Chi

Failure Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Feb. S.--Heavy liquidation de-
moralized the grain markets to-day. notwith-
standing the severance of diplomatic relations
between Russia and Japan Corn and cats
were especially weak, May corn declining &c

Wheat recovered partially from the break

ucts closing unchanged TO 10c higher.
With the war in the Far East virtually COM
meneed and all foreign grain markets respond
ing there was dash to buy here at the OPEN

gret Both May and July wheat were offered

became extremely weak May going down TO

sold of 10 S3lsc, 2asc from the top. The
May delivery. however, received good support
from the Principal long interest and the price
Of that option soon regained a cent OF the
early decline while July rallied in sympathy
The market helped by dispatch stating
that all offerings of wheat from Odessa had
stopped. a lase break in corn and oats had
depressing influence on wheat prices. but ad-
ditionai support from the operator credited
with being the largest holder of wheat caused
a fairly steady tone AT the close. May was
unchanged at 94c. but July was down &c at
S4ssc.
The feature in trading In corn was the
heavy and persistent selling by prominent
