7-r The market opened to-day at an ad
vance of 116 c. but declined again and closed
quiet at 7 Vjc for middling. The sales for the
week were *2,725 bales. A. buoyant feeling has
developed by the faith in the continuation of
foreign consuming demand; however
the silver situation is not satisfactory
and there has been a reported
disposition abroad to bank upon full crop
figures.
Mr. Neill reaffirms his estimate of 7.700.000
l aies and explains the cause of the present
light movement as due to impassable roads
and low- prices. Cn the other hand,
Hubbard, Brice & Cos. say that a
comparison of the meteorological records
of last \ ear with this, fails to confirm
Mr. Neill s theories, as the weather
in the so ,th at tuts time last year seems to
have been even worse than this year. They

passage of the Bland seigniorage bill m the
House late yesterday, it is not thought that
the measure will receive sanction, even if it
should pass the Senate, and consequently the

better than generally exacted, ana had

difficulty in getting back their

New York, Mar ch 2.—Kiordan A Cos. say of
cotton to day: To day's market ended in a
great disappointment for the hulls Liver
pool at first was higher. The movement was
light, and seemed to indicate better pri.es.
Our opening was at a good advance compared
with yesterday s closing, first sale of May
being 7.73. But bulk of sales of May
upou the call were 2 points lower,
and very soon after the call for
May was offered at 7 70. Throughout the day
the offerings were rather in ext ess of tho de
mand. and prices gradually gave way point
after point, until a little before 3 o’clock,
when May sold at 7.00. The closing bid for
May was 7.61, but the tone was barely steady.
It i a waiting market, in which those who
8311 upon rallies and buy after every good
break, seem to be making all the profits.
Liverpool will probably decide whether we
are to go lower to or recover what we
have lost to-day.”

Chicago. March 2 Orders from New York
UtU morning showed an apparent change <>f
front on the part of the operators in wheat in
that city. Yesterday thev were vigoroua Op
ponents of an advance to day they were
evidently working for higher prices. 'J he
opening showed an appreciation over last
night of 4c with a feeling of
firmness. whlih gave way upon
the setting out of a line purchased
a few days a?o by a professional trader of
some renown. After the pressure was re
moved a strortgor tone developed. Eastern
buying orders became numerous aud under
their influence, backed by the fact that but
little wheat was offered, quite a material ad
t'atice was made. When the advance had
culminated ihere was a disposition, shown by
early buyers to secure their profits and prices
turned downward. The selling movement,
became general and the advance was totally
lost. Tho decline even went further
and at the dose there was a net loss of 4dft
4c. from yesterday. The reported gold ex
ports from New York, was a factor in the late
decline. May opened 4c higher than yester
days close at 60 B e ranged between ♦.<) VXfi-Olc.
and 59V. and clos‘*d at 6Oc((ftoO4c. Corn
showed a stronger feeling, independent of that
exhibited by wheat, it was partially
due to the report that a prominent
local professional, who some time ago
worked ia y® profits on the short side, was
now long on a big line of corn, and was push
ing his advantage. shorts showed nervous
ness. and made haste to cover their cont racts.
May ranged between 364<G&374, closing at
36 ' B . a gain of 4 for the day The cash de
mand was good. oats were dull, and prices
were confined within narrow limits. Tho
feeing was similar to that shown by corn.
'1 ho • lose was a shade bettor than
yesterday, fash oats were in fair de
mand. and higher for. white, but Hteady
for mixed. Provisions wore again in line
with the lower hog market. The trading was
light and a dull and uninteresting market was
the result. Tne close showed a loss of 15c for
the day in May pork. 5c in May lard and 74c
in May rius. l here was a fair cash demand
for domestic consumption.
