NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-R-May
cotton futures broke through vigor-
Gus opposition today to sell at the
highest price since August, 1887.
Prices generally were up / to 6
points.
Picking up the thread of a for
ward movement in full swing for
a month or more, lively buying by
domestic trade interests and foreign
accounts drove the list forward 8
to 9 points in morning trade.
Liquidation in the March delivery
by a prominent spot house, pres
sure which has kept this contract
on the defensive for sore than a
week, appeared to have finally run
it's course. While this encouraged
Fpuying, traders became a little
moro cautious as March lowered
around 11.18 cents a pound and
practically all Of early gains were
erased.
Fresh trade support plus a little
short covering got the list started
ahead again. New foreign buying
kept the market pointed upward at
the finish.
Exports Saturday 1879 bales;
season so far 4,817,112. port receipts
27,1S0; port stocks 1901, $50.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-GP--Wheat
prices lost about two cents a bush
ell again today, duplicating Satur-
lays market action.
Prospects Of good moisture ove
the grain belt, expanded receipts
at principal markets due to Ii.
quotation of 1888 and 1889 wheat
that has been stored under loans,
and European peace talk stimulated
the selling.
Prices declined about 1 cent at
the start, steadied and frequently
rallied to around Saturdays close
but then turned lower again about
noon when some stop loss orders
and profit taking sales were put
into execution. Closing prices, the
lowest in a week and about 5 cents
below last weeks highs, were 1
rs to 2 IA cents lower than Sat-
urday, with May at $1.O2 IL to 3-s
and July $1.00 3-8 to ID.
Corn lost IA to IL cents, May
Sc IL to 3-S, July Sc 3-4; eats 3-S
to IL; rye 1 IA to 1 SIS; SOY
beans IL to So and lard S to 8
cents.
An additional bearish factor in
the wheat pit was a private esti-
mate that Australian production
might run as high as $50, 600, 900
bushels compared with the last Of
fetal estimate of 210, oOo, 900. This
mean that the harvest just COM
pleted probably was one of the
largest, If not the largest, on rec
ord. Private reports that Pacific
Coast wheat was being offered again
in eastern domestic markets also
attracted attention.
A sharp expansion in wheat re-
ceipts at principal terminals was
believed by grain men to reflect
marketing of grain held under
loan. Loans on 1888 wheat expire
March 81 and on most of the 1889
wheat a month later. The - prin-
cipal terminals received 1.O75, 900
bushels compared with $40, 900 a
week ago and 637, 900 a year ago..
At Minneapolis receipts totaled 303
cars compared with 1879 a week
ago and at Kansas City 1876 against
85.

Prices were easily influenced in
the thin market.

2.90 cents a pound and Philippines

of 2.S8 cents duty-paid, an increase
Of 3 points from the previous sale
