Liverpool wns weaker and receipt* at the ports as well S3 at Houston and Memphis were liberal. Liter on prices rallied, however, p-irtly owing to a rather steadier tone In Liver pool, but largely by reason of heavy buy ing for New Orleans account, which frightened some of the local shorts. The weather In Mississippi and Texas was also reported lees favorable for the move ment of the crop, besides the bulls argue I that tho present price discounts a 10.019,. . 009 crop. New Orleans declined ^points, V> reya Inod this and advanced ^points. I The New Ycrfl market in the subsequent \ trading ran up 11 p:4nts and closed firm with sale.* of 18*1.009 tales. Exports from the portA, 35.7C0. Augusta received 2,614, against 1.446; .St. Louts, 4.104, against l.f£2. Charldrton declined % of a cent. Most of the Southern spot markets were un changed and quiet New Orleans sold only 1,600 baler. The South was offering cotton more freely. Spots here were dud ond unchanged: middlin'; uplands, 6 13-26. with sale* of 193 bales for spinning anj deliveries on contract of 5,-00. Thus far tMs week the rceapts are 22L5G, a^nlnst 121,011 boles thus far last week. We have no great faith In the permanence of an advance at this time right In the face of large receipts at ports and Interiors. The outside long interest is large and wldelys cattered and this fact Is unques tionably a feature Inimical to any ma terial or permanent advance. Liverpool fluctuated within narrow limits a,t one time showing a declne of 1 point, which was recovered and that market was quiet and steady at practically the samo prices as Saturday. Sales, 12,000 bales. In Manchester yarns were weak and cloehs quiet. The ports received today 75,601 bales, against 70,386 last week tJtd 66,146 last year. Memphis received S.S62. against 6,775; Houston, 13,465, against 9,372. Now Orleans expects tomorrow 22,003 to 25,000 bales, against 18.530. Until receipts show A material falling off we do not look for any cotlnuod improvement In prices. Stevens & Co. Liven LlVERl-OdL. rpool, December 3.—Spot cotton market demaud fair, with prices easy.

GRAIN LETTER. By Special Wire to Lyon & James. Chicago, Dec. 3.—Very little bear news was currant this morning and wheat as a consequence has ruled firm and higher, though not as strong ns bull Influences would warrant. The bears, however.put forth strenuous efforts to break the mar ket. On passage there was an Increase of 1,226,000 bushels, while cables Indicate the situation on the other side Is re markably strong. Exports at the sea board wero good. The visible Increase of 1,215,000 bushels was rather more than offset by the heavy decrease of 1,400,000 bushels in England’s visible supply, on which the market experienced a sharp advance to 61a% for May. Corn has ruled dull but strong, though the market has scored but little advance. Local receipts of 160 cars were under ex pectations and proved a buoyant feature, though sympathy wit wheat has In a measure elped corn, keeping it firm In spite of the heavy increase of 1,026.000 bushels in the visible supply and an in crease of 552,000 bushels on passage. A strong feature is a gooddemand from points nearest the drought-stricken dis tricts. Provisions ruled strong In spite of the stock statement showing a heavy in- crease. Packers have unbounded faith in the prospects of hos product. The mar ket on hogs at the yards has ruled fairly active and strong on best grades and 5 cents higher on other* Lxmson Bros. & Co. GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. Chicago, Dec. 3.—The bulls supplied the news and Pardridge the wheat today, the former gaining the victory, which was, however, not a very startling one. In the matter of information the bears had two very important pieces In their favor, which for a time prevented prices from assuming a very decided upward tenden cy. These were the increase In the amount on ocean passage of 1,328,000 bushels and in the visibly supply of 1,215.1 000 bushels. After the visibly supply had been thoroughly digested the market be gan to Improve and showed good strength upon the end of the session. May Wheat opened from 60% to 60%, sold between 60% and 61%, closing at 61a6l%—%a% a cent higher than Saturday. Cash wheat was % a cent per bushel higher. Corn.—Whilst -wheat was a trifle steadier com was directly Che opposite at the opening. May corn opened at 49%, sold between 49%a49%a%. closing at 49%-%a% of a cent higher than Saturday. Cash corn was strong, prices ruling %a% a cent higher. . , . Oats.—The business In this grain lac*cod attractiveness, tho tone being similar to that of corn as a matter of sympathy. Fluctuations were narrow and tho- trade featureless. May oats closed % a cent higher than Saturday. Cash oats were firm without change in prlco. Provisions.—The market for product sagged from mere neglect at the etart, the fact that hogs were firm and In some Instances higher, affording no relief. Later In the session, without reason or expla nation, the Shorts suddenly began to, dis play some anxiety, and thelrc overlng op erations gave another phase to the tone and caused a substantial rally. p*rtlcu- laxly In pork. January pork closed 10 cents higher than Saturday, January lard 2% cents higher and January ribs 5 cents higher. FUTURE QUOTATIONS The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT— Opnlng. Hlghst.

Many say they have found thoao already given out. Maybe they have; if they kcop It up and get hero first Friday morning with the correct answer, thoy will got the Tele graph's money. Tho Telegraph regrets that a few people havo formed an Idea that some one on the "Inside’’ will earn this money. This Is entirely wrong, and to prove it, notice Is now given that no one In any way connected with this paper, nor their relatives, even unto tho fourth degree of consnngu.nity, can contest for tho prize. This is done simply to avoid any suspicion that might arise in the minds of some peo- pCe, and not to prevent a trick being played by anyone connected ,wlth tho office, for It is ns impossible for any one ir. the office to know what tho aenteuce la unless he reads the "cheap columns” from dny to day, as it Is for ml outsider to guess the sentence at the beginning. , Only owe matr in the Telegraph office knows what tlie sentence is, and no oue else will know it until It Is given in full In Saturday’s Issue. But let It be understood that no one connected wth the Telegraph mor their relatives can contest for tlie prize. It can only be one who watches the cheap columns from day to day. and reads every word printed -therein. It may save you confusion If you remember that only one word ia printed.each day *hls weok. Tho sentence will contain seven words. Huvo your answer In early Friday morning, but not before 7 o’etook. If no correct answer is turned in by 10 o’clock Saturday night, then tho new con-test, which will have begun, will be doubled In the amount of money offered; or, in other words, If no one finds tlie sentoneo this week the money -off-red will be added -to that to be offered next week, and tho win ners nexC week would recelvo *20 In stead of 110. Every one tfliould go to work to earn tho Telegmph'fl mouey. Ilemumbu.' it 1* ?10 every wool; from now until Christmas. Tlrs money will oomo In nicely, and not much work :» involved In earning U. Listen to tho iflan: Boffnaln-g Rat- nrclay morning and from then on for eno week die Wlogropli will Insert somowhoro among 1U “Cboup Column" advertisements n lost word or word out of place. By wo-tohing tho clionp col umns each day for ono wa'-k and read ing carefully every advertisement there in, !t will be no difficult matter to find the lost word. Seven of these words will form a sentence. To Ulustwte: Suppose on Saturday morn-ng the Tel egraph prints In Its Cheap ooUt'iih an advertisement llko the following; XMAS TBIX—Tho time Is short; prices tow; Judicious tho piaco Is here. And then on Sunday suppose you see tho following; WATCH the columns of the Telegraph advertising for our special holiday offering*. And again on Monday you find IMs one; WE do not hide our light under a bushel. Our /Morn Is always, there fore, always crowded. And on Tuesday you seo fids: WE and that it pnys pays to toll the pubtlo what wo’vo got. On Wednesday you may see some thing like this: LOST—An opportunity lo Increase our n trade by inviting the public to visit our store. ' On Thursday It may take this form; OUR holiday trade Is gnod, because good we ndvertlaed our goods. And then for tho last day, Friday, say something tike this one: JUDICIOUS advertising always pays a dividend. If you are a cartful reader you have found that tlie word "Judicious” was out of place In the Saturday ad; on Sunday you found that important word ’^advertising" out of place; on Monday you found "alwaya”; on Tuci- day "pay*"; on Wednesday "a.”; on Thursday "good”; on Friday ‘ ! <uvi- dtnd.” The week has been completed and you have found one word each day, which when put together form the sentence "Judicious advertising always pays a good dividend," which 1* a maxim true as gospel. If you have been quick, you hava rushed your agswer to the Telegraph uffice at the earliest hour poeilmc Fri* day morning. If it was the first cor rect answer received, you will read In BAturday’a paper the pleasant an nouncement that you have received *5; If the aecond correct answer, that you havo received $3; and If third, *2. Of course, tbs sentence which begins Katunday will not be the same ng tus s'vsat, and probably nothing like It; *0 don’t attempt to gucu until you havo read carefully oach of the seven dpers beginning Saturday and con cluding with Friday morning’s Issue. If you are not the first In this eon- Ost, don’t be dUcouragcd, for tho Tele graph Intends to lioep It up. • Maybe IndcllnlteCy, but certainly for four werka—until *10 baa been distributed In this way among -the Telcgitiph’s most careful readers. Now, got ready; tho contest will be gin Saturday morning. Then waitclt the "cheap columns" every day for one week; and you may find yourself sev eral dollars better oft than you thought. No answers will bo received before 7 o dock Friday morning. Announce ments of winners made in Saturdny’i uper. Simply write your aswer on a postal Card, or enclose in envelope nd- t» "Advertising Department T«.egrt>i>h. Bring to the business of- .("whila 2!“, r 7 The Hour at which It Is received will be on the back of the card or envelope and a-t 8 o'clock Friday night Dee 7 the answers will bo examined. ’ ' Why does the Telegraph do this? Tho answer la easy—simply to have the "cheap columns" of this papo well read. Or. In other words, to en able Its advertisers to get tho beat ro- ul-tg from their advertisements That the plan la a good one eve’rv ad- ertiser will recognize, and the Tele graph wlK be reiMld for tls effort tn their behalf. Aa cm be aeon. It will be necessary for every contestant to read carefully word for word and lino for lino In every advertisement; In the "cheap columns" in order to feel cer tain that they have gueaaed the right word*. It will bo ncensaary to read every one of these advertisements ev ery day in tho .week In order to form the complete sentence. Thus every-advertisement placed in, tho Telegraph'11 "choap ooiumns" will bo read by Intelligent people. rc«J carefully to seo If it contains the los; word, and In reading tho reader"!
