Nkw York, February 11.—Greene & Co.’a
report on cotton certifieatea says: There was
practically no market to-day, certainly noth
ing calculated to attract new deals upon
either side, and business haa been confined
entirely, to covering on yesterday’s sales and
generally settling up on narrow margin
deals. At first the tone was a little soft, but
aftef the deficit la the New Orleans stock
was known, there was a firmer feeling, on
which sales advanced some three points over
last evening and there closed, hut without
much strength and apparently held up by
main force. The lost of New Orleans stock
waa also subsequently balanced by an in
crease of exports at Brunswick to about the
same amount. Generally the position was
stupid and bat.
HUBBARD, PRICE A CO., THROUGH JOHN S.
ERNEST.
New York, February It.—The only inci
dent of note during the two hours’ session
was the large purchases by New Orleans
through brokers here, which advanced prices
from the opening to the close. The decline
in Liverpool was without effect upon the
market, and the quotations of yesterday were
current upon the first call. Business, out
side of the New Orleans buying, was small,
but the market showed such strength that
the cotton World telegraphed the exchange,
with its figures of the overland movement,
etc., that the stock at New Orleans was cor
rected by deducting 32,219 bales shipped in
land by rail, and not previously counted.
This wns considered the cause of the orders
to buy. Our private advices from Liverpool
are that Mr. Ellison estimates with a 2,680,-
000 crop, European port stocks nod imports
for balance of season will be 100,000 bales un
der last year. Against this la a surplus in
European mills of 326,000 bales, showing a
net deficit of 71,000 bales on that basis of the
crop.

CHICAGO 'CHANGE.
Orange of the Day’s Business tn the ’train
and Provision Pits.
Chicago, February 11.—The condition of
things to-day on ’change showed more clear
ly than ever the absence of outside business
and the influence of Hutchinson. He had
brokers in the wheat and corn pit and estab
lished prices at which he would either buy
or sell all the crowd desired. The week
closed witli prices on wheat lower and the
market duller than seven days ago. Com'
pared with last Saturday, the price of May
wheat was 1%0 lower; corn, l%c, ami oats
l%c lower. There was plenty of gossiping
but little trading in wheat to-day. Mav
opened %c higher at 81c, moved up to 81
glaring the first hour, ami kept between that
figure and 60%c during the balance of the
session, closing family at 81 %c. The firm
ness was largely due to scalpers, who were
evening up their trades for the week.
