HIGHER PRICES FOLLOW
CONFIDENCE OVER NOTE
Wheat Upturn Begins at Market
Opening-Bears Are Handi-
capped on Bug Reports.

CHICAGO, May 6.-Confidence that a
break with Germany had been averted
led to higher prices today for wheat.
The upturn. which began as soon as the
market opened. did not meet with any
check until after a substantial advance
had been scored. Bears were handi-
capped by predictions that green bug
damage to the Oklahoma crop would
continue to show an increase.
Initial quotations. which ranged
from 4 off to up. with May 1.12L to
followed by a general rise that in some
cases amounted to ! % as compared
with yesterdays finish.
Corn Prices Strong.
Corn shared in the strength of wheat
Buyers, however, did not seem ag-
gressive. After opening a shade to
Aa% higher. the market hardened to
some additional extent.
Firmness developed in oats, as we'll as
in other grain. The demand, though,
as in corn. was only of a scattered
sort
Higher prices on hogs helped to lift
provisions. Pork led the advance:

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK. May 6.-The cotton mar
ket was active and firm during today's
early trading. Liverpool did not quite
meet yesterdays local advance, but
there was not much cotton for sale
around the ring here. and after opening
to points higher active months
quickly sold some IA to 10 points above
last nights closing figures, with May
touching 1882. July 1857 and October
l2.S2 during the early trading The
broadening of demand suggested that
buying orders which had been held out
of the market previously owing to un-
certainty as to the showing or effect of
the German note were being executed,
Notwithstanding the favorable weather
in the south.
Bullish reviews of the dry goods

tors In the advance, while it appeared
that some favorable sentiment had
been created by recent moderate acre
age figures and the talk of delayed
start for the new crop in earlier pro-
ducing sections.
Futures opened firm; July, 1888: Oc-
tober, 12.6S; December, 1887; January,
