CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-A1I the grain markets
received a setback today, even the strength
of corn evaporating under a pressure of
lone 8turr showing prollts. Wheat was de
pressed hy weak rabies and poor demand
und closed WVt? lower. Corn declined M
fio and oats Ufi'ie. Provisions closed lr
regular, a shade lower to iSif higher.
All tho strength which characterized the
close In wheat yesterday had disappeared
before tho opening of regular trading today,
liarly cables were a distinct disappointment,
showing but a slight response at the open
ing to the advance, here yesterday and even
this noon disappeared. Resides this, tho
cash demand was exceedingly light. Shortly
after the opening n realizing movement de
veloped and selling pressure from t'lls
nource was soon Increased by the weakness
r how n bv orn, the result "being a material
decline from yesterday's closing tlgur.s
The liquidating movement was not of lung
duration, but the demand did not Improve
uh tho pressure was relieved, trading be
coming dull almoin to stagnation. This
condition existed, with short periods of
moderate activity, almost to the close, with
prices keeping within a narrow range
tiome Improvement In tone was created by
the decrease In the world's visible, where
an Increase wan expected by most traders,
Imt tlin nilvancf was slight, no really Im-
portant buying following tho posting of 1 he. ,
llgur.s. 'I lie sou in west roporio.i ii goon ,
ash demand, with farmers hauling to mar
ket on a large scale, -rne worm s visinie
deereused TTiS.Ofni bu. Primary receipts were
jdaced at isl.to) bu. Minneapolis and Uu
luth receipts were 472 caw, against 40J last
-week and I7!t a year ago. Chicago receipts
iwtp 70 cars. Atlantic port clearances of
wheat and Hour umountcd to 131,000 bu.
The seaboard reported 12 loads taken for
export. Sales here for shipment amounted
to aoo.ori) bu. May wheat opened at C'o, a
decline of 'i'd-V'. (Mild at toUc, di'.lllied to
C'i1i(iiv and closed ti'4p lower at ti.se.
There was a broad and active market for
corn and prices changed rapidly, though the
range was not wide. Karly In the day fi dis
position to realize on long linen was shown,
onie prominent bull traders unloading mod
erately, and a sharp break In prices re
united. Scalpers followed the lead of tho
big traders ami accentuated the weakness.
Shipping houses were also large sellets
jigalnst country acceptances. On the de
cline a good speculative demand developed
and ultimately part of the decline was re
covered, the market closing fairly uleady
nftpr showing considerable nervousness at
times. Receipts were 736 cars. Primary re
ceipts were large and tho shipping demand
rather slow. Tho neaboard reported 20 load
ilaken for export. May ranged from C5c to
BV4c nnd closed Ufo-V- lower it 33'ic
Oats were dull and wcu' Independent
features were lacking, the aarket for the
most part being Inlluenc by the weak
lies of wheat and cor- and ruled frac
tionally lower all day. i. rings offered niod--rately.
The demand was scattered. Re
ceipts were 2CT cars. May ranged from Kl-V
to 231t231ic nnd closed 'iflc lower at
A fairly good trade wan done In provi
sions. Karly In the day prices declined
noinewhat In sympathy with lower yard
jirlces for hogs anil liberal receipts, pork
specially showing weakness tinder nhort
M'lllug. Irfitn In the session the Improved
tone In com helped provisions. Packers
Hook hold moro freely and prices recovered
the early loss. At tho elosV May pork was
shade lower at $10.97',4H11.00. May lard

Favorable Nov Full In Attract Any
Ueiiinnil from tieiiernl Public.
NEW YORK. Feb. 20. -Speculative opera
tion showed Itself today rather unsettled
and doubtful, as rellectcd by the opera
tions of profcsplonal traders. The news of
the day so far as It affected values of se
curities was all favor-able, but It failed to
attract any demand for Mocks from the
general public. This Induced a spirit of
caution aiming professional operators about
taking on large lines of stock In view of
tno iloiibtrul market afforded ror realizing.
The bears wero Inclined to mnke overtures,
encouraged by thin doubtful spirit. Hut
wnllo tbey suceeded In forcing large dc- ;
dines In a few special stocks they failed 1
to induce any general liquidations.
Tho undertone of the market was ills-
uneiiy nrni nnu me opening gains, wuicn
wero pretty generally wiped out, wero
largely recovered again In tho Him! deal-
tngs. l,ondon was disposed to buy stocks
hero nnd wMlo the volume of the huiln
was not Important, the tendency was con
sidered to bo so, In view of the condition
In the ex let 1 11 5 market and the approach
ing loan ror war purposes to be placed by
the Hrltlsh government.
1 ho tendency of railroad stocks wns tin-
ward at the start nnd there was special
strength where reports saow-d a high level
of earnings. fioutVTn Railway was the
most notali o addition today to the iiruo
gains for the second week In February. Its
increase over laft year's similar period be
ing no less man 4. per cent, 'tno soutnrrn 1
group generally snoweu me nenetii or mis
Increase. The last week's entbound ship- 1
ments from Chicago eclipsed all previous
records and stimulated ttie railroad list 1
generally. The yearly report of the Dola- j
wnre, iacKnwannn western gave nit
impetus to the anthracite group. In which '
Reading llrrt preferred led. Lackawanna I
ltelf yielding on realizing. The net result '
of tho year's operation for this road was 11
surplus after dividends of Jl.nu7.173, against
11 deficit last year of J3".l,73fi. This result
was achieved In spite or tile large decrease
In gross earnings (no lesi than half of
which Is due to the decllno in the return
for transportation of coal) by a cutting
down of tho co.U of conducting transporta
tion of over $2,000,000. The miscellaneous ;
Income, the earnings from the coal depart
ment, wero Increased some $2.C"0.2W.
Tho weakness of Third Avenue, whlc'i I
fell an extreme (I!, ex-dlvldend, nnd of
People's Oas. which lost l1, were the un
rottllng Inlluences In the market. Tho late
strenirth In the coalers and a sudiTen rlc
of 2',i In St. Louis & Southwestern pre- 1
ferred Induced the late recovery In prices,
Tho call money market continued easy. !

subtreasury. which has reached $2.:S7.O0O
since last Friday nnd the continued down-
ward course of New York exchange nt In-
terlor point caused continued unoTslnes I
over tho comoany situation. Sterling ex- 1
choiiLTi. eased off a. frnctlon In rfsnonse to
n slightly easier tone for Loudon discount
and tHe buying of stocks here for London
account. In th's connection It Is notnblo
that tho exports from Niw York of general
merchandise for the week Just past reached
the highest level since January 1. amount
ing to $14,521,508, as against J9,fill,143 In tho
preceding week and $10,S2.1"S In the corre
sponding period of last year.
Railroad bonds were In good demand nt
advancing prices. Sales. $1,177,000. Fnlted
States new 4s und 5s advanced U per cent
in the bid price.
Commercial-Advertiser's London llnan
clal cablegram says: "The markets here
wero verr slack today because of t'-e end
of the account, but the tone was distinctly
cheerful and tho close was at the best, al
though the news of General Huller'f occu
pation of Colenso was not known before
tho end of tho session. Paris wns strong,
but Herlln refused to take any hnnd In the
dealing. Americans opened well above
parity. Iondon buying more briskly than
it has dono for n. considerable time. The
favorites were Norfolk & Western nnd
Ujulsvllle & Nnshvllle. The clo-v was. at
about tho top on New York support. The
bank bought .29.000 gold In Oerman co n
and rS.OOO lu bars nnd .30.000 came In
from Denmark. The cape took 10,000. It
Is surmised that yesterday's snle of gold
was a loan trnimactlon. Call loans were
In ootf demand, but the bank did lesf In
loans. Fixtures wero strong: bills steady.

CATTLE Receipts ot cuttle numbered
199 cars, which was the largest run of the
month to date. The Inrgest run of the
month previous to today was on February
0. when IM cars were reported In the yards.
Tho largest run during January win KS
cars so that today's receipts were, t hi
heaviest of the year to date, more than that
they were the largest of any day since the
middle of November.
The run was not the only notable feature
of the day's situation the quality of the
cattle was moft noticeable in that It wilt
the pootest of any day In n long time. The
yards were crammed full of the trashiest
1 101 or near steers seen here in n long time.
. Not only were common natives. Texas, cat
tle of off folnrs. nml In fuel evert- kind of
undesirable cattle that could be mentioned.
Among the offerings thee wns. how'evcr,
a bunch or two of right choice and well
finished steers.
The market was pretty "rocky." viewed
from a sellers standpoint. With recelpta io
large nnd average quality so poor buyers
took the bear side and they pounded the
market good and plenty. It Is safe to say
that the nuirket on the general run if
steers was HVfrtSc lower nnd slow at tho de
cline. Cows and heifers were generally 10c lower.
In some casts the most desirable did not
sell 11s much off, while on tho other hand
there were sales at a decline of 13c. The
bull market was In equally unfavorable
condition. Veal cnlves were scarce and
Ilrm. the best bringing J7.X).
Considering the Innre tun of cattle In the
yards the olTeilngs of Blockers and feeder
were very small, and thero was no' much
doing In that kind of entile. The market
was lower In svmnnthy with the decline on
fat cattle. Representative miles:

nnd there did not nppnr to tie any u.o
mativ on sale. Practically everything
changed hands In good senson nnd the feel
ing at the close wns better than at the
opening. . ...
It will be noted from the table of average
prices above that the advance of vester
dav was pretty well wiped out. and that
the lums sold very nearly where they did
nt tho close of last week. It will also be
noted that the market today was 2't1)6o
lower than one week ago. but Just about on
a par with the nverage market of last week.
Representative sales: . . ,

very good on the part of nil local packers,
and buyers without exception wero out
