New York Cotton Market. NEW YORK, Feb. 8.—While the serious news from the Far East had naturally a de- | pressing influence, the relative firmness at Liverpool ‘caused a somewhat firmer opening | in the cotton market to-day and first prices were 11 to 15 points higher. Following this there was a further advance, | carrving May up to 14.35¢c and July to 14.40c, a net gain of 38 to 41 points, but toward the end of the first half hour there was tremen- | dous selling from outside sources and the ! | market in less than ten minutes had broken | nearly a full cent from the best point of the | morning. Around 11 o'clock the most sensa- | tional changes of the season occurred. May, which had fold down to 15.50c, jumped to TiR0e and broke o 1.14c. while July, which and then broke to 13.19c, all inside of twenty minutes. | Around middav the market rallied. March | had declined to 12.4lc, May to 13.02c and July | to 13.08c, this being a net loss from the net prices of the morning of from 119 to 133. At | 4 | this level thers was considerable covering and | by 1 oclock the market had recovered to | apbout .ast Saturday's closing prices.

CHICAGO, Feb. 8.—Heavy liquidation de- moralized the grain markets to-day, notwith- standing the severance of diplomatic relations between Russia and Japan. Corn and ocats | were especially weak, May corn declining Jc and May oats 3%e from the high points. Wheat recovercd vartially from the break, | closing at about Saturday’s final figures, but May. corn showed a loss of 13c and oats of 2ig @23.c. Provislons were fim, the May prod- ucts closing unchanged to 10¢ higher. With the war in the Far East virtually com- menced and all foreign grain markets respond- in there was a dash to buy here at the open- H by some hitherto stubborn shorts in wheat. The result temporarily was higher prices. May opened lic to 1c higher at 94ic to 93c, and July up %e to e at 85%e to 83%e. In a very short time, however, the short sell- ers who had turned buyers bad cause for re- gret. Both May and July wheat were offered in large quantities, It was claimed that a | line of several million bushels by a large local | trader was sold out Throwing out of this wheat | induced general liquidation and the market became extremely weak, May going down to | 933, a drop of 1%c from the top, while July ®0ld" off 1o 83%c, or 2%c from the top. The May delivery, however, received good support | from the yrincipal long interest and the price of that option soon regained a cent of the garly decline, while July railied in sympathy, he market was belped by a dispatch stating That ‘Sl ofterings of Wheat trom Odsess ha ped.

Poultry and Game. Poultry opened the week firm and the car of Western stock that came in on Saturday cleaned up quickly at good prices. As usual | on Monddy. there was practically no market for local stock and prices were nominally un- | changed. ~All indications point toward an act- | ive market during the baiance Of the. week, owing to the extra demand among the Chinese fof the approaching holidavs, and it is ex- pected that the receipts of Western will be comparatively light. A few cases of dressed Turkeys came in, but there was very little in- | quiry and prices were largely nominal, Aside from a slight decline in Gray Geese there wers no changes in Game.

Butter opened dull, with plenty on hand, though there was no particular accumulation of stock. The tendency continues downward, and there are more sellers than buyers. Another decline in Cheese seems impending. 0id Oregon and Washington stock is a drug on the market and is belng offered freely at 9@ | 10c, and there are {arge lines still up there. ready for an opportunity to be unloaded on this ( market. dealers say that there are a good many factorles in Southern Oregon not equi to make anything else than Cheese, and that they have got to get rid of the bulk of it on this market. Until the present which this market has been carrying for sev- eral_months, Is worked off in some way, the market will eontinue depressed. Receipts of Eggs were over 1100 cases, as will be seen, and the market was weak, with a further decline in the inside quotations, {hough éxira fioe ranch sdll brougnt.27e, But weak and shaky market at the latter e ha Diyare peid Tt Tolcatly " Lower prices are anticipated in these goods from | now on i Receipts_were 36,200 1bs Butter, 1116 cases Eges and 5700 1bs Cheese.
