'CHtCAOO. ' Feb. 19. The advancing ten-
flchcy of today's wheat market was unin
terrupted , except by the moderate reac-
tjorw .which are Its regular accompani
ment , the liny option closing at a lo ad
vance. Hcnowcd war rumors were the
cause of the closing slrciiRth. Corn nnd outs
were stronger nnd closed * /4c hlRhcr each.
1'rovlflloiis started strong , but lost all tbo
advance later and closed at substantially
Unchanged figures.
There wns very nearly a repetition of the
Thursday market In wheat for the morn-
Inp. May opened In rather an uncertain
manner at 75V4O73c , against yesterday's
closing figures of "SViOTu'&c , but with hardly
any trading at the lower of tha quotations ,
Halea as u rule being mndc at 75t,4c. The
jirlco kept creeping tip slowly on moder-
atu and scattering buying , with no disposi
tion of buyers to take profits or foenra to
put out short lines at the better figures.
About the only explanation offered was
that tha whole trade felt bullish that tbero
iwn.H a feeling that wlirnt will do belter.
Jdverpool opened oiily VJd higher , which
was no more than had been expected , but
advanced later and proved moderately help
ful. Northwest receipts showed a small de
crease , 253 cnfs , against KG last year. But
the Icthnrcy did not hist long. The slow
advance of the llrst hour w followed by
a sudden burst of buying , which did not
ucem altogether a surprise to the pit. As
the Mny price touched " % Logan's
leading broker began bidding for lOfl.OOO or
200,000-btl. lit a time , lie bought 1,2,0,00 > ) bu.
in leas than a minute , getting' part of It at
7Gc. At that figure "tho crop appeared to
1)0 ) for sale nnd a sluggish reaction to 75r > io
ensued. Chicago received t.vcnty-ono car-
load.i and 75,000 bu. were Inspected out of
Htorc. The shipments hence by rail were
29,000 bu. and by canal 9,000 bu. The At
lantic port clearances were 420fOO bu. In
wheat and Hour together. After the de
cline to 7.V&C the market ruled very dull
until about 12 o'clock , when a report was
put Into circulation of actual fighting be
tween the Greeks nnd Turks. This caused
a somewhat excited bulge to "fi'.ic , but
plenty was offered at that price and a re-
iictlon took place , the market closing llrm ,
however , at 7G'/i'j7G7iie. ' ' {
Corn wn In good demand and fairly
netlve. The strength In wheat nnd the
very heavy export clearances were the
chief reasono for the .strength. There was
good buying by several prominent houses ,
largely In the way of covering by shorts ,
nnd prices were llrmly maintained to > this
oml. Atlantic port clearances wore 1.1SS.444
bu. May opened a shade higher at I'tlnf.
Hold a Hhnde lower and advanced to ai'/i ®
IM'&c. ' where It closed.
Oats acted In concert with wheat and
corn , opening steady at or very near to
yesterday's values and advancing to close
llrm. The bettor feeling wns not brought
about through sympathy alone , for out-
Bldn shorts were buying nnd this Item con-
trllmtod to the buoyancy of the market.
May opened at 17&C , sold to I' c nnd
closed with sellers at I'Ho.
The activity which came Into the pro
vision market a few days ago was again
noticed In today's business. Hog receipts
were again exceptionally small and though
llucttiatlons were frequent the general ten
dency of the market during the morning
was upward. Liberal selling caused a
uhnrp decline In the afternoon , which wan
arrested , however , before prices got ma
terially below yesterday's. At the close May
pork was n shade higher at $ a.OO to J.S.OSVi ,
Mny lard about 'Me higher at $4.0257)1.03 ) and
May ribs a shade lower at 31.10iH.12Vi.
The estimated receipts for Saturday are :
Wheat , IS cars ; corn , 1S5 cars ; oats , 270
cars ; bogs , 17,000 head.

Ictln will My tomorrow of the wool market :
The sales nro utlll wonderfully maintained , when
the rnoiinoifii business done In January Is con.
Kldered. More attention Is being paid to foreign
merino wool , and less to domestic. Mills arc
covering orders for next reason with the foreign
wool they need for llnUhlng. Not only Austra
lian , but Montevideo and Buenos Ayres wools
have been moving briskly. Stocks of American
wnshnd fleece lire much reduced , but there Is
hllll plenty of territory or unwashed western
wool. Prices nro no hlsher , but the nmrkot
Is steady here. Foreign iroot markets nre less
steady. The coming- Australian clip is likely
to Iw onn of the largest kno n. The eales of

Weekly llcvlcw of Trade tomorrow will
say :
A large Increase In the Iron tid jtcel . busi
ness on account of tmlcs cQV'erlhe eight to
twelve months' production of the largest \vorks ,
a better demand for Woolen Koods iliul sllKhtty
better for cottons , a gnln which mny tirove

Iirlct'R for wheat , cotton , wool ami Iron , , nnd n
money market well minuted to oncournKe jmr-
chases BRitlnst future Improvement In lU lness
have rendered thu past week inoie hopeful thnn
any other since enrly In November. The heavy
excess of ntcrcliandlsc exports over Imports In
June , the continuance of exchange rates , shuw-
Ing that Knsland Is still largely Indebted to
this country on current accounti unit the pros
pect that congress will adjourn .without any
dlsturblnff action , nil have their favorable In
fluence upon the money market anil upon fu
ture undertakes * . In nearly every branch the
great Iron and steel Industry feels the upward
Impulse supplied by purchases of steel nilN
said to be 600,000 tons each from the Illinois
Steel company nnd from the Carnettle company ,
besides some front other companies , In part as
low its 15 per ton , about JOO.OOO to foreign
putchasers at 17 to 18 , but all recent sales nt
> ! 0 at eastern and JZl at western mills. Nearly
all the Rieat railroads of the country have
seized the opportunity to supply themselves with
rails for one to two years' requirements. These
eiiQimous orders have advanced llcssemer plB
at I'fUtburg only 15 cents per ton , with gray
tows a shade lower , nnd no considerable change
appears In llnlshed products , although plates
are unchanged In price with good demand , nnd
nulls are held at recent prices. The bar as
sociation no longer controls anything and Iron
bars are quoted nt J1.03 per 100 pounds , wh la
Other Industrials are gaining also , though less
confplcuously. The tecent decline and subpe-
( lucnt rise tn raw cotton have not materially af
fected thu manufacture , which Is gradually Kct-
linir rid nf Its accumulated surplus , though
there seems to be but little Increnro as yet in
thu demand for goods. Supplies of wools have
shniply declined , amounting to 7.013,0110 pounds
for the week , against 9.157.1ICO for the previous
wee , . ,
year , of which 6,987.f0 were domestic , and 10-
09S2M in U02 , of which 10.014,200 were domestic.
The larger mills have ac-pdred full supplies for
the present nnd at any advance of prices they
appear ready to drop out of the market.
The hcnvs- exports In January following tha
unprecedented excess of expoits over Imports
of m the four previous months nre
largely due to the fact that neither the wheat
nor the cotton markets have been materially
. Wheat dropped tote
controHe. by speculation.
nT ' wltli no Important -
to ? . but rote to S3'i cents
portant Impulic except the conviction that re
cent prices hove licen low enough. The At
lantic exports. Hour included , were only 1.21.3 ,

NEW YOUK. Fob. 19.-Ur.u1atrect'3 Flnan-
clnl llovtcw tomorrow will say ;
The action of the European powers In Inter
vening In Crete revived tbe panicky feeling that
wns shown In the Imndon nnd continental mar
kets last week. The situation ns regards
Turkey nnd flreccc continues , however , so
strained that while there has been n recovery of
values In the foreign markets , there has been
no revival of speculative activity there. Our
own market was helped by these occurrences to
the extent at least of having the bear traders
deprived of the nld of foreign selling or of ac
tive depressing Inlluences from abroad. At the
name time the other chief bearish factor the In-
> cstlgntlon of the Industrial companies by n
New York legislative committee has ceased to
have much weight with the street. While Inside
supiwrt Is still lacking In the trust stocks , the
attacks Of the beara upon them ceased , nnd cov
ering of the large professional short Interest
caused appreciation In their prices. This was
the principal ppeculatlvo movement of the week ,
which , Indeed , has been n dull one throughout ,
nnd given up almost entirely to maneuvering by
board room traders. Among the other Incidents
a leading place must be given ' ° "le anthracite
coal stocks , which wcie Influenced by the ac
counts of continued unsatisfactory conditions of
the trade nnd to n greater extent by the decline
of Lehltrh Valley stock In Philadelphia , which
broke from Sj'/i ' to 51. ISmp.iatlc denials were
made of reports about on Impending receivership ,
but the action of the market certainly betokens
liquidation. '
The fact that the Iron Interests largely regard
the disruption of the steel rail pool with satis
faction , ami thnt the break In rails has attracted
large orders nnd steadied the mnrkot. have not
as yet had a , favorable effect upon tlit * bitumin
ous carrying roads. Hocking Valley , in par
ticular , showed a decline from S'4 to 4'A '
for tbe common. Stories t.iat the March 1
Interest might be defaulted and that a readjust
ment of the company's llmmces was contem
plated , found believers , In spite of olllolal denials.
The Gould stocks \\n\e \ \ been the object of some
attention , particularly Manhattan , which de
clined from 90U to SClj. The principal Inllucnce
In this stock Is the news thnt the management
has decided on cqujpplng It with electricity , and
thnt to this end application for fres.li capital Is
necessary. Missouri Pnclllc declined front 21VJ
to 19VJ , and Western Union was affected by it
renewal of the old story that the Haitlmore &
Ohio's block of stock was comlnR on the market ,
llallroad earnings were Irregular , though no
very unfavorable exhibitions appeared , and the
granger stocks generally acted steadily.

HUH Iti'i-li ' - . - .
NEW YOUIC , Feb. H. Today's market was
limited , even by comparison with the npathetlc
condition that recently characterized specula
tion. For the first , time in many months an
Industrial. Sugar , yielded Its place us leader
of the market to ( a railroad , llurllngton took
first place today ljtransactions. . Induced by
doubt as to the lyuMoi .of the directors on the
quarterly dividend. ] .There . werp rumors cir
culated In the rooming which succeeded in
arousing a feeling of apprehension that the
Iltirllngton dividend1 would be reduced , and this
aroused quite a llvely'J. selling movement. The
announcement later ] thot the directors had de
clared the regular , quarterly dividend of 1 per
cent caused .n. rally tn the stock of 1H per
cent , und th moyenjent pttttlned such volume
ns to give nn Inip ud 'to the whole list. The
morning wns chni'ttctorfzod by a. total lack of
interest In the iniirlwtl ! 'due to renewed fears
of European c6mi > ll.o-\IJpnstovor tbe Cretan ques
tion. There wer < ! Offering ! ! for arbitrage ac
count , but without "any manifest effect on
prices. Thcro wns some relief over the political
outlook reflected from the Kuropean exchanges
later In the dny , which helped along the rally
consequent upon the llurllngton dividend. The
anthracite coalers were conspicuously weak oil
the bad conditions existing In the coal track- .
New Jersey fell 2 per cent. This depression
was nlso manifest In the bituminous coal roads.
The anthracite coal .group participated In the
rally later. The industrials fluctuated regularly
on manipulation. Tobacco nnd Leather each ad
vanced 1 % per cent from the lowest. One of
the features of the day was the advance In Lnko
Shore of 3 % tier cent to the highest quotation
on record for that stock. There was a subse
quent reaction of 1 per cent. The buying was
attributed to Investment. Lackawanmt nnd
New Jersey tigured In the rally for an advance
of 1 % per cent. The railways generally were
prominent In the late session on Increased dealIngs -
Ings , with the grangers and southweeterns In
most demand , the Inquiry laelng stimulated by
the favorable railroad reports of earnings now
current. Profit taking somewhat checked the
advance In the final dealings and caused an
Irregular clofee , with most of the shares show
ing llght Improvement.
The bond market displayed decided animation ,
with some Issues figuring actively in the deal-
Ings. The main tendency was toward a higher
plane , but some severe losws were rcRistered
in a few Instances. The foreigners continue to
take largo blocks of the principal International
liens. Sales $1,729,000. The declines Include :
Atchlson , Colorado & Pacific firsts , 3 per cent ,
and Ht. Puul , Minneapolis & Manitoba and Mon
tana Central CH , IW per cent. Government bonds
continue to display activity on purchases by
financial institutions and Individual capitalists
generally. The sales were 177.0CO tlnircs.
The Hvenlnsr Post's London financial cable
gram Fays : "Stagnation and dullness continue
In the stcck markets. Politics hold the Bole
Iey : to the situation. Consols were lllVi at one
time today , but tlie close was lll'/i. A bear
account Is gradually Brewing all around , which.
If politics would only Improve , means a very
sharp recovery. It is rumored that India will
Issue a sterling loan soon. The Paris nnd Iler-
