Chicago, Nov. 6.—Wheat wound up here where it began today, but that was at a loss of *c from Monday. The Initial de cline was due to the rain here and in other parts of the winter wheat belt. The north ern weather bureau predicted showers for tonight and tomorrow, upon the announce ment of which there was a tumble of more, the decline meeting with re-sistonee at 58c for December. Liberal clearances of wheat and flour at the seaboard and higher closing Liverpool cables furnished the pre text for a rally, after which prloes see sawed back and forth within a narrow range, closing firm at the highest price of the session. December wheat opened firm from 58* i to 58%c, declined to 58c, rallied and closed at uSVgC, l+c under Monday. Cash wheat was easy and fractionally lower. Corn—-There was probably more firmness than of weakness in today's corn market. Tlie rain, it was believed, was retarding shipments of corn* temporarily, that being the bull card, but the very slight gain made was scarcely worthy of reference. The fluc tuations of wheat had some bearing on the action also, the pronounced weakness of that grain being instrumental in causing an easy feeling in corn, whilst it lasted. May corn opened at 2914C, sold between 29*% and L,9>/8'r/2!»,4c. closing at 2W*29%c, a shade higher than Monday. Cash corn was firm to Uo higher. Oats—A quiet, peaceful session was pass ed in oats. A few unimportant orders were received and executed, that ended the busi ness of the day. A moderately firm tone prevailed throughout, the strength of corn sensibly affected the tone. May oats closed higher than Monday. Gash oats were steady. Provisions improved in value through the medium of strength communicated by the hog market, which was 51110c higher, not withstanding the unusually heavy run. There was no apprehensible Improvement in business, the session dragging most of the time. The close was firm and 10c higher for January pork, 5c higher for January lard and 2Vfec higher for January ribs. The leading lutures ranged as follows: Articles Wheat Nov. Dec ...... May. Corn— Nov.

London was a buyer at this tlrrie and Its purchases stimu lated the upward movement. The strength of the market was short-lived, however, and before the expiration of the first hour of business the market was on the down grade and from the time referred to right to the close liquidations were the order of the day. with the selling most pronounced in the cases of the Industrials, the grangers end the Western Union. There was an ap proach to demoralization»during the after noon. Local 1 't-ars were not slow to take advantage of the uneasiness prevailing, and their sales added to the feverishness of the market. Sterling exchange was a shade lower for sixty days bills, the result of higher discounts on London, but the supply of bills is meager and It is by no means Certain that gold shipments can he averted this week.

Sun’s Cotton .Review. » New York, Nov. 6.—The Sun's cotton re view says: Cotton fell 16 to 18 points, then rallied and closed steady at a net decline of 13 to 15 points, with sales of 263,900 bales. The Liverpool cables quote declines of 7 points in two days and then rallied and closet! steady at a net decline of 5 points, with spot sales in two days of 16,000 bales, at a decline of l-16d. Manchester was dull New Orleans declined 20 to 22 points in two days, and then rallied slightly. Spot prices were l-16c lower here, with sales of 420 bales for spinning. St. Louis dropped 13 to 15 points and Norfolk, Memphis and Augusta V«c. Exports from the ports were 40,000 bales. Houston’s estimated receipts tomorrow are 6000 bales, against 13,200 bales for the tame day last year. Port receipts yesterday were 33,549 bales, against 42,030 bales for the same day last week and 60,862 bales for the same day last year. Today’s receipts were 35,035 bales, against 37,600 bales for the same day last week and 61,770 bales for the same day last year. Port receipts for the week are now esti mated at 195,000 to 205,000 hales, whereas a few days ago they were estimated at 235, 000 to 250,000. Last week they were 259,714 bales, and for this week last year 376,325 bales and for the same week in 1893 they were 293,000. Latham, Alexander & Co. estimate the crop, based on 2632 reports from correspond ents, at 6,435,000 to 6,680,000 bales. They esti mate the decrease iri Texas at 45 per cent, Louisiana 37, North Carolina 34, Alabama and Arkansas 33, Mississippi and Tennes see 28, Georgia 27. South Carolina 26 and Florida 15. They add that picking is further advanced than ever before and that in some sections it Is about over; that the crop has been marketed with unusual rapidity and that few correspondents report any disposi tion on the part of the planters to hold back cotton. Houston received 3650 bales, against 3631 bales for the same .day last week and 4046 bales for the same day last year; Houston 3137 bales, against 4906 bales last week and 13,646 bales for the same day last year. New Orleans expects tomorrow 5000 to 6000 bales, against 10,583 bales for the same day last week and 8236 bales for the same day last year and 7743 bales for the same day in 1893. Today's features: The disturbed political situation In Europe militated against the interests of the bulls, inasmuch as It was reflected in dullness and depression in Liv erpool and Manchester, with which New York and New Orleans quickly sympathized notwithstanding the smallness of the re ceipts, not only at the ports hut at the in terior towns. A sharp decline in British consols was one unfavorable feature, ac companying disturbing reports In regard to the Turkish question, and, to judge from the talk of some of the bears, England has de cided to dismember the Turkish empire to morrow' or next day, if not sooner. Cer tainly Liverpool was depressed, and its spot sales dropped to small figures. A war cloud is always considered a bear point or> the cotton trade, because war interfered with general business. War, according to the old commercial saying, means "dear breadstuffs and cheap oottoff." There was less disposi tion to buy today on the part of outside speculative element, and as the speculation was thus limited for the most part to pro fessional operators here, the majority of whom incline to the hear side, it is not at all surprising that prices should have been marked dowrn. At the same time the re ceipts are so small that many believe that if the figures continue at their present ratio of decrease as compared not only with 1894 but with 1893, spinners, domestic and for eign, must sooner or later come In and buy freely. The ports this week are now ex pected to get only about half the quantity received in the same week last year, and about 100,000 bales less than for the same w'eek in 1893, when the crop was 7,500,000 bales. Furthermore, the New Orleans semi weekly estimate of the interior .receipts this w'eek is only 75,000 bales, against 150,000 bales In the same week last year, while the ship ments are expected to reach only 39,000 bales, against 120,000 bales for the same time last year; these figures, therefore, pointing to very small receipts at the ports next week. But today the small cron movement was for the moment practically ignored. Local and southern selling and an absence of aggressive buying sent price® downward. A southern operator sold 1500 October, 1896, at 8.38, down to 8.30, and this transaction helped to depress the market, though It Is of course merely an expression of opinion as to what will take place'next year. The tone at the close was steady, after a very fair business for the day. General Cotton Markets. Cities. Galveston... Norfolk. Baltimore. Boston. Wilmington Philadelphia.

JValue. The Guardian’s Article. Manchester, Nov. 6.—The Guardian in Its commercial article says: The semi-stagna tion of the market yesterday, which was trying to both producers and sellers is at tributed partly to the troubles in the east, though mostly to the sluggish foreign de mand. There was no response to the high er prices which sellers were compelled to ask to avoid loss. The ample supply exist ing, which was contracted for below the present cost of cotton, aided the unsteadl-j ness of the market. Reports receiver! state) that the crop is withheld on bull account! at New Orleans. If correct this will prob ably cause heavy selling promptly. Offers, for India were more numerous, but most of them proved impracticable. There were occasional offers for China, but few were accepted. Little was done for South Amer ica. Shipments for seven&l markets have been expediter!, owing: to the pending tariff changes, but shipments for Constantinople and the Levant have been withheld. More machinery has been stopped at Burnley', and the running of looms on short time is increasing. Yarns were slow and there were few transactions. New Orleans Cotton Exchange Statement.
