Provisions.

The market continues dull and devoid Of
feature in all positions. Brokers wires from
Chicago yesterday said: I'VE are inclined to
believe the outside interests have parted with
their holdings and we feel there is good
large short interest scattered throughout the
list. Any little buying could easily advance
the market but We doubt, considering the con-
tinued large run of Hogs, whether packers
would countenance higher prices at this time.
The market Is absolutely in their control and
still looks to us like scalping affair."

Cotton Market.

The New York wires OF E. F. Hutton Co
yesterday said:
Tho cotton market is now more two-sided
and as q result of the weeks Developments
speculative sentiment Is less inclined TO the
bear side and in some quarters there has
been decided modification OF extreme bear
ish views. 1t is conceded that practically
everything depends upon the spot position and
the manner in which the South will hold on
TO supplies. Much will depend upon weather
conditions during the next few months. and
IL we are TO have wet weather and a late
spring IL will bring about a pronounced change
in opinion with regard 70 the cotton market
during the summer months and Will stimulate
buying of the summer options by investors
on the ground that the probabilities OF large
yield Will be materially reduced. Many be-
lieve that prices have already touched bot
