New York, Nov. 25.—(Special.)—The rise in British consuls today, indicating that the International complications, growing out of the eastern troubles, had assumed a less threatening aspect, had a distinctly favor able influence upon the cotton market Liverpool cabled a good advance and the shorts here hastened to cover regardless of prices, causing a sharp bulge. January opened 6 points higher at 8.42, and advanced «6 8.55. At the higher price a great deal of long cotton was thrown upon the market, forcing January hack 10 points, to 8.45, but at the recession there was a good demand for all offerings and prices became firmer in the final trading. The close was steady with January at 8.48(58.49. If the outlook abroad should continue to improve we think that nothing can prevent cotton from going higher; the advance, if it should come, will V? founded upon a good demand from spin ners and not upon speculative buying, but it does seem to us that purchases of cotton for a rise are now shorn of much of the risk Which lately attended them, there will of course be reactions, but upon all reactions We advise buying.

(Bid. lAsked. Chicago 'Change. Chicago. Nov. 25.—Elevator people were , unanimous in their desire to buy December wheat today, but found offerings of that de livery a tritie scant. Under the circum stances an advance was not unreasonable, May sympathizing fully with the nearer de livery. When prices of the latter option reached the ‘‘calls" there was rather pe remptory buying for the account of promi nent short, with further appreciation result ing. The strength was not conspicuous dur ing the morning, although a fairly firm tone was noted. Higher Liverpool cables caused a slight advance at the opening, the gain being well sustained until the Tatter Improvement took place, notwithstanding heavy receipts in the northwest. May wheat opened frfjln 60^ to GO%c. advanced to fiH4c, closing att>lV4@t»U4c. ^4c higher than Satur day. Cash wheat was firm and V4@lc per bushel higher. The corn market derived benefit from the strength of wheat sufficient to make a slight fractional gain over Saturday. It was not that any particular Inducement was held out to buyers, but rather that bulls expected tjo receive some advantage should wheat have a decided boom. May corn opened at 29%c, and sold to 29%c, where it closed, %c higher than Saturday. Cash corn wras in good demand, especially for No. 3 yellow, and prices were firm. The old complaint of dullness and inactivi ty was heard In the oats market. With wheat and cotn higher, oats naturally made a corresponding advance, but there w*as no life to the trade. May oats closed higher than Saturday. Cash oats were steady and unchanged. Provisions—Offerings in products showed a reaction today, ana on a very little buying there were advances, though moderate. The incentive to curtailment of offerings to buy ing were found in the stronger wheat mar ket. and in an advance of 5c in live higs. Closing prices were 12%c higher than Satur day for May pork, 5c higher for May lard and 5@7%c higher for May ribs. The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles Opening Highest Lowest Closing.

Bun a Cotton Review. New York, Nov. 25.—The Sun’s cotton re view says: Cotton rose 17 to 18 points, then reacted and closed steady at a net advance of 11 to 12 points, with sales of 357,800 bales. New Orleans expects tomorrow 17,000 to 19,000 bales against 17.893 bales last week for the same day, 25,282 bales last year for the same day and 24,119 bales in 1893 for the same I day; and Houston expects 12,000 bales, | against 19,414 bales last year. Today’s features: Bullish factors pre dominated and prices showed a sharp ad vance. In the morning It looked as though speculation would be comparatively moder at. but before the close It had expanded to liberal proportions. Fall River was weak and the receipts at the ports today, which were estimated in the morning at 44.000 bales, proved to be over 60,000 bales, or about 5000 more than on the same day last week, while the estimated receipts at New Or leans tomorrow were about as large as for the same day last week and the Houston ar rivals were expected to be 4500 bales larger tomorrow than they were today. But most of the news was of a bullish character and the effect was marked. New York Cotton Market. New York, Nov. 25.—Cotton was quiet, but steady.
