An Advance
LATE PRICES ARE BEST

New York, February 17-There was a
renewal of heavy liquidation in the cot
ton market today, but a sharp decline
was more than recovered in the late trad
irg, and prices closed steady at q net~ad-
vance of to IL points The market
opened steady at unchanged prices TO an
advance of points, in response to rela-
lively firm cables, but quickly weakened
under liquidation attributed to concen-
trated long interests in May and local
bear pressure, which found The market
without any important support.
Liverpool cables were working very bad
~, thus restricting the arbitrage business
which buying might otherwise have
helped TO sustain prices here, and with
local sentiment bearish, about the only
demand in evidence came from the cover
ing OF shorts on scale-down. until May
had sold at IA. i5c. Spot houses were buy
ers around this level, and covering be-
came little more active, but after rally
of to points from the lowest the mar
ket weakened again under continued llqui-
dalton and a renewal of short selling,
which was encouraged by the failure of
the demand from spot houses to follow
the market on the advance
This second break carried May off to
Ia Acc. and the active old crop months
generally to a net loss of about 10 to 16
points, but later offerings for long ac-
count were less urgent, making it look as
though liquidation has pretty well run its
course; reports from the south indicated
that spot markets were slow to follow
the decline in futures, and prices rallied
sharply in the last hour on covering by
early sellers and buying by spot dealers,
part of which was rumored to be for the
account Of eastern mills Last prices were
close to the best, with July relatively firm
on buying by some of the interests who
had sold May earlier in the day.
Southern spot markets officially report
ed were unchanged to 1so lower. There
was no change in the character of reports
from the dry goods situation, and but lit
tie attention was paid the reports of I'M
seasonably cold weather with sleet or
snow from parts of the central and west
ern belts.

WHEAT DECLINES
UNDER SELLING
Strong Early Demand Causes
Advance But It Is Lost
CLOSE AT Low POINT
Corn Follows Wheat in An Early Adj
vance But Lnte Trading Brings
DecIine--Oats Close Lower.
Provisions Go Higher

Chicago February 17.-Grain prices adj
vanced in the first half of the session
here and refrigerated in the final hours
of the day, finishing from &c to s.c lower
than yesterday wheat leading in both
the advance and the decline. Provisions
kept pace with the early grain advance
and held their gains better, finishing
from 71ac to 15c higher than yesterdays
closing.
A strong demand in the wheat pit early
in the day carried May up to s1.1o, the
record price for the crop year which was
established January I. Bearish sentiment
then took control of the market and prices
drifted downward, the futures sagging
from 1c to 1A91ssc. Influential factors in
the decline were weakness in the de-
mand for cash wheat, quietness in the
flour market and large offerings of grain
from the southwest, where the snow mas
covered the wheat lands and alayed crop
damage fears. May delivery went down
20 81 1891 1874. The close was weak at
nearly the low point in all the futures,
the final figures yesterday, while July
and September closed &c down.
Light offerings and the strength in
wheat gave an upward trend to the corn
prices through the first half of the
season. Heavy realizing sales took the
edge off the market later and the slump
in wheat had a further dragging on.
Fluctuations were from sc to lie, May
falling off from the high point of the
L. cox W. Il
nearly the lowest point, 14c to nc below
yesterday.
Trade in the oats pit showed the gen.
eral characteristics of the other grain
markets, advancing early and declining
later, although the fluctuations were with
in narrower limits. May advanced to
Sic and declined to 477sc,t the other flu
lures following. Realizing sales on the
swelis preceded the decline when the
other grains fell off The close was weak
ct nearly the bottom with May at 477sd
dc. &c lower than the final figures yes
terday.
Provisions began the day with a ma
terial advance of from TIC to 221sc. based
on the higher prices paid for live hogs,
which broke all records since 1870. selling
at 50. 40 March pork led in the advance,
climbing from $23 60 to $23 soy. Leadng
longs INDUCED in much realizing and
this action together with the weakness in
grain in the final half of the session gave
the market a backset. The decline was
less than in the grains closing figures
being from 71sc to lac higher than yes
terday
