 Strength developed in the wheat market after a rather weak opening. At the start the market bearishly affected by lower prices at Liverpool and the weekly statistics, which were quite disappointing to bulls The amount of breadstuff on ocean passage showed an increase of 1886. 900 bushels. In addition the worlds shipments were larger than expected, Furthermore, the domestic situation was less reassurlng to bull trad CTS, receipts in the Northwest being In ex cess of those the corresponding day a year ago. After opening unchanged to hc low at l.15& e 1 .15s s, May declined to 15 S mission houses. During the early part of the session there was very little demand Later more activity manifested, in con sequence of a better demand for cash wheat both in the Southwest and Northwest. At Minneapolis sales of flour were reported as being heavier than for some time past. This gave additional zest to speculative trading On free covering by shorts prices were forced steadily upward, the market closing at the highest point of the day with May at .16S d1 .16% Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to A, 500 bushels. Primary recipts were 7O4, BOO bushels. compared with 124,5OO bushels year ago Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 5O1 cars. against 731 last week and 46S a year ago
 Owing to prospects of a more liberal movement sentiment in the pit was rather weak. Throughout the entire day cash houses and local bears were ready sell CTS hut the demand was limited.

 ScaIpers commenced to take profits freely at this level and to go short for a turn. Some cotton which had been carried over Sunday was also unloaded. The result of this, together with some aggressiVeness from leading bears was to send prices down until the active months were only and points higher than the closing of Saturday. This carries the trading up to 1 o'clock.
 The spot market was quiet throughout the morning. There was a fair demand, but factors were firm and not willing to meet the views of buyers concerning prices. Up to 1 o'clock less than two thousand bales had been sold at prices from 1-l6c to Mc higher than Saturday. The country offered but little and with the exception of small lots here and there, no letting go was heard of in the interior. The plan to retire B. 900. 900 bales of this seasons growth seems to have met hearty approval and to be re- garded as entirely feasible in the country.

LovEMAN & CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

(By Private Wire from H. & B. Beer.D New Orleans, Jan So.-The reported for nation of $5O,OOO, 900 pool in the South. assisted by New York bankers, caused stampede in the bear camp this morning and put shorts to rout, market opening about at Saturdays closing level, advancing 21 points shortly thereafter by March selling at 6. 92. There was @ good inquiry for spots in early morning, buyers paying as much as hc up. but market became quieter in after noon when a reaction set in. The easieTi feeling in contracts during the last half of| the session was due to Washington advicing our exchange that the next gtnners report would be issued next Wednesday, which will be followed by the final report cotton ginned to Jan. 18th at a later date. It Is 8 matter of record that Director North of the census department stated before publish ing of the last report that returns in hand were insignificant, only the smaller counties having reported. Therefore 1t is to be pected that the report of next Wednesday will be made up of returns from the larger counties and that the statement will prove to be more bearish than it's predecessor. In connection with the final report Secretary Hester has requested Director North to deavor to make estimate probable amount ginned to Jan. 18th by gtnners who fail to report and in this way arrive close as possible at the actual amount ginned. This suggestion has been taken under advisement, and as it is probable that the New York Cotton Exchange will make supplementary request for the same data. 1t is possible the information will be fur nished. If the suggestion Is adhered to, 1t lS llheiy 10 De more LdNOF or than would otherwise be the if no estimate was made at all This might be stretching point the part of the census depart ment, which is generally confined to facts, but at the time 1t would the purpose of enlightening all branches of the trade as to what to expect from last years growth in the way of number of bales. At any rate. the possibility of such a statemen, heinz made encouraged in an effort to cover lost ground. Selling became more popular in the afternoon when all of the early advance was wiped out.

G. E. PIERCE CO.,s COTTON LETTER

(By Private Wire from Gilbert & Clay.)
 New Orleans, Jan. 30.-There was no in- dication in the early Liverpool market that short interests were becoming alarmed. American houses were the buyers and local bears sold. In the last hour of their session prices advanced in sympathy with the gain in cis-Atlantic markets Options finally clos ing points over Saturdays prices.
 Visions of millions of dollars worth OF cotton withdrawn from the reach of con sumers except at much higher prices pro- duced a mild scramble among shorts to cover: this was accompanied by some fresh buying orders and, a result, the value of cotton quickly increased about one dol lar per bale. Unfort dnately this improve ment in prices could not be fully sustained and by midday approximately half the bet terment had vanished. Shortly thereafter the entire gain was lost. Spots became firm CT and could not be bought except at 1-16c to 1sc above quotations, which figures buy CTS rule were unprepared to pay but on the recession in contracts eased off again.
 The census department announced that on Feb. 1st another preliminary report on cotton ginned to Jan. 18th will be issued, which will at later date be supplemented by a complete report. In the latter 1t is expected an estimate will be made covering the ginneries refusing to report.

LOU DILLoN's ANCESTRY.

The turf papers have been making a
vigorous search for the ancestry of the
trotting champion, Lou Dillon, 1:5S1s,
and it would seem that the latest evi
aence adduced by the Horse Review
bears the earmarks of final authentic
ity. They have traced the mare Fly,
granddam Of Lou Dillon, step by step
from the time she left Wisconsin until
she passed into the ownership of San
Francisco banker named Ralston. In
vestigation in Wisconsin has developed
the fact that Fly was daughter OF
