l'i to llftecn minutes or the end of the
ei-sslon tho wheat miirket was dull and
elrady nt a fractional decline from yester
day's close. Husliies was almost entirely

fall over the wheat belt wns the bearish In
fluence, but the nrnrkel bore up n millit It
with great fortitude till the patlrn.o of the
boars was exhausted and the utilized the
Iiihi bnrter of an hour In ridding them
Helves of a burden which nobody seemed 'o
Rant. May opened 'All lie lower nt V7tl '

were bet eon f,'',r and I'A'. The ultimo

ng!). I.rti.il receipts were II cars, none of
contract grade The cash demand was slack,
although 80, Mm bu. wete worked from here
tin a 11c rate to the sea.
The ilelas and embarrassments of the
storm had a dulling effect on the corn mar
ket and the. pit was very iUlct. I'ountry of
fering were small and served an a support,
ulihoiiRh the shipping demnnd was slack.
The brink In wheat cost the coarse cereal
only a shndo at the end. Local receipts
were AVto-iirH, II can under the estimate.
May ranged ftnn to 3l"(,l(35c and
idnsed at the latter tlgurc, a shade, reduced
from yi-sterdai.
Oats were Inactive, remaining at one
price, SP.'ic for .May, throughout the ses
sion. The close yesterday was at 2.IMllVc.
ItecelplH here wore 13H cars, 11 under the
estimate. The snow kcit many trailer
from business, n condition which mate
rially contributed to the stagnation.
Provisions were weak. There was scat
tered liquidation throughout the day and
late outside demand. On the decline there
was considerable stoploss selling bv com
mission houses, which helped nl'i'ug the
weakness. There was some demand for
lard early against foreign ii'-coptancos, but
this was soon s.itlsllcd. May pork sold
from $10.70 to $10.50 and closed 10e under
yeteidny at $10.55; May lard, rrom $5.S5 to

Apimrcllt AiioiiiiiI.v of Rise In Sloetts
llcnrlnc t oeoiilriidlcled Mini r.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Evldene- nc umu
lated ns tlu day progressed In the sto k
market that the short Interest In the group
of specialties, willed has recently been dr.
cllnlnir. had become unwieldy and before
tiiii day had r lortnl an urgent demand ile
v,'i!""fd for these stocks from the bears,
wno had overstayed tMo market and who
wero eager bidders tor stock to mver short
contracts. Thus the apparent anomalv was
presented of a buoyant rise In th price of
stocks. concTnlnc wMch recent unfavora
li. e news mm still un -nntradlcted, nr new
facts developed of a still more unfavorable
character.
Additional nie.hnuliK' Hens were piled tip
on the assets of the Tilrd Avenue and a
tocelver wn appointed; y.et the stock
olTered firm teslKance at Vlenliiv's low
level and rose at one time as n'i"h ns S'.
I ho franchise tax commission, which re
cent rumors by profe.-islonals have credited
with a purpuse to iiriictlcally contlscatc the
net earnlnns of local corporations, bgan
Its sltthig-i today, but the slocks of the
New 5ork public utilities rose from 2, to
G points. Published retmiu alleged con
tinued demoralization aiid cutting of prices
of sugar and the conviction of profes'Monal
t-peeiilators remains unshaken that the ti"t
dividend will bo (lit; but Sugar shows a
net gain of 2'.
The simple explanation I that be-ir trad
ers have been selling these stocks without
loldlng certificates with which to make
delivery, and when they tried to buv thev
found a horde of traders In the same r!l
uallon and a. lively competition sprang up
to secure the Hunting' supply. People's (lis,
the Tobacco slocks a number of the Metal
stocks, Weste-n Union and .some others
whlcli have been under recent pressure
moved urward under the same Inlluence.
The Leather stoekn weakened on the
yearly earnings reported, which wcie much
below recent sangulno estimates, and tho
heirs endeavored to create a diversion In
their favor by raiding storks. The rest of
tho market refused to respond. Relieved
of the elements of acute weakness which
havo rccentlv dragged It buck, the railroad
list rose strongly and quite uniformly, tho
exception"! being stocks which have already
advanced in faco of the recent weakness.
Tho ndvance wns ratliT marked In a group
of low-priced common stocks of companies'
whoso senior preferred stocks have already
rellected their Improved prospects of div
idends by reason of Increased earning".
Foremost of the group were Atchison and
Southern Railway, which ro e 1 and 1.
respectively. There were good advances
also in Erie, St. Loui Southwestern, Wa
bash preforred, Chicago Orcat Western,
Colorado Southern second preferred and
North American.
Tho movement In the grangers left by
Burlington was based on the fall of snow
in the northwest, which Is believed to af
ford security to the wheat In the cround.
as was rellected by the downward tendency
of t nil cereal on tho grain exchanges. T1il
movement Is of special Interest as belior
the first of any movement In the Flock
market founded on the prospects of this
year's crop, thus ushering In n cew Intlu
euce and hazard wh'ch will play a grow
ing1 part In tho problem of values. Tho
closing was active and strong at about the
best.
TV-o bond market was not very active,
but was tlrtn. Total sales, nar value, $1,
593,0i. United States us, coupon, advanced
'i, as also registered; old Is anil 3e, (, and
new Is decline 1 ' in the bid price.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says: The markets
here opened verv quiet todny: they wero
also dull, but Improved on the news of
Bu11er' progress. No public 'business re
sulted, however; none Is expected tint M
Ladvsmlth Is telleved. Pari' and Berlin
wero Idle. Americans were good through
out tho session. A blind tip on Atchison
Issues, particularly common, was current.
New York sold early, but turned buyer on
AttMlson and Southern Rallwav. lifting
the market to the best point. The bank
bought UlU.oO) In gold bars. The week's
Influx wan .CSltf.Ooo. Money was In demand.
A small sum due. the bank was repaid this
inornlii". but In thf afternoon there was

NEW YORK. Feb. 2s. -The excllement on
tho Cotton e hange ran high again today.
Prices showed a net rise uf ls'n39 points
after tho market had opened 31(7 points
higher. The early cables were disappoint
ing and the local contingent was little in-
lined to sell until It became ny;iarent that
'.he speculative public was still on the buy
ing lmnd with a limited capacity for nb
Mirblng cotton. J'ur.pean orders were par
ticularly heavy, although the demand was
general. A fiature of the local buying was
the business of a Wall street concern, which
bought enormously with apparently a limit
less and special demand for August c ,n
tracts. This concern was a heavy seller
yesterday and had changed front so many
times lately that the local traders weie
puzzled as to the actual relations of the.
house to the market at the present' time.
There is said to be a large short interest in
.March cotton. ,'The local traders are.
nervous and, while more or less out of sym
pathy with any forther advance nt the
present time, lemaln afraid to go short on
the market, dreading manipulation and the
effects of renewed spe 'illative buying by
tho public bull Interests, with the statistical
position still exceptionally strong, except
tor the largo rerelnts. Talk of increased
acrenge and heavy fertilizer purchiiFes was
fl factor which held the new crop positions
In check. The excitement increased as the
session advanced. Just before the close,
however, there was a period of reaction un
der enormous realizing, which caused a
sharp dei line from the top. The market
Dually closed easy and Irregular at an (nivalin-
of 141t2l point. The sales if tho
da are estimated at 1,000.000 bales, this be
ing the largest business, with a few excep
tions. In the history of thr colton market.

CATTLE Receipts at this point were
again light today and the offerings of all
kinds of cattle were rmall. At the same
time there was a good local demand, which
resulted in the market on killing cattle of
all kinds being strong and active. Buveis
wero out early and the fat cattle offereJ
wero dlsposfd of In a very short time. It
Is safe to i-ay that the uurket on fat cat
tle l.s 1M.i23c higher than It was the latter
part of last week. Among the offerings to
dny were somo pretty good cattle, a. f'mall
bunch of cholco black cattle, about as
good In quality as anything seen here
In some time, bringing $5.25. As was re
marked yesterday, It takes right good
cattle to brlnr Jt.OOWUV). and something
ex(r to go abovo that point. At the same
tlino this market does not get as good
cattle a.s the other large markets or tho top
hero would show up better than It does.
Cows und heifers were in good demnnd
and the market strong und active.
Practically everything at all df-slrable
chanced hands In a very short time nt
tatlsfactory prices. The demand for cow
stuff has been exceedingly good at this
point right along. There was no change In
tho market on bulls, stau.s, etc.
Sellers report almost no demand for dinky
llltlo Block cattle, of which there are quite,
a good many In the yards All the In
quiry Is for cattle ready to put In tho
feed lots and scrubs are not wanted. The
fact Is that the feeder market has not re
covered from the discouragement of tho
break In fat cattle last week and the buy
ing demand I still limited. Fortunately
the receipts are .small, so that there Is no
great surpluti on hand. Represcnlatlvo

HOtlS F resh receipts consisted of 122
cars and there were six loads of hold
overs In hands of speculators. The market
today, under the inlluence of the good de
mand and ravorable reports fiom other
selling points, w,ni mtlve at prices that
wero a shade higher than yesterday. Buy
ers wero ull wanting a good many hugs and
they got down to business right at the
start and the big bulk of all the hogs
changed hands In a short lime after tho
market opened. The hogs sold very largely
lit J4.70, us ugjlust Sl.tf'i yesterday, with
some eholrii heavy hogs at $1.7i'4fi I. so.
5"rsterday the top was $l.72's early, though
ns high as $4.70 was p.ild late in the after
noon. Today's advance makes up for the de
cllnt outing the tlrst two davs this wok

BrerdlllK 11 ml Knlnillix Horses,
A writer in (ho Journal of Agriculture
offers the following pertinent suggeaUun
to the brooders of grade hoises-
"No nun rhould breed a grade or natlio
mare to a si-tob stallion, or even to a grado
stallion, when I: is possible to have the serv
ices of a flm-cisss imported stallion or .1
stallion of puio breeding. One should also bo
careful that the general conformation of the
tn.tre corresponds sutTUirtitly with that of
tho xtalllon to make the product of tho
mating an animal of good lines.
"A good colt haling been produced, tho
qtleMlioi ef proper raising Is the vital rne.
If it grade colt lie given scrub earn und scrub
fcfls he will iilnimt certainly be 11 disap
pointment to tho breeder. This is where tl.o
great mistake is nude on most of our fanm.
It Is frequently true that the scrub colt w 111
do better on scrub euro than the high grade,
for tho reason that tho parents of the scrub
have given him blood that preparrn him to
f'irn Just mirh treatment. Under an Impronrr
mode of treatment the grade Is likely to pre
noiit 11 poor showing as ho approaches ma
turity. The showing vclll llnd that ho h.ia
really lost his high stallion fee unless he fol
Ios It up with good feed and good care.
"The breeder must remember that tho
good qualities of the hloodnl home are really
due to a long line of good management In
tho anrestors of that horse, and tint this
good ninnaKtmrnt must be continued to per
mit him to gfvo a good return for money in
vented." N'ct 1, ,ill's Hog".
Prospects arc reully good for hog produ "s
nnxt year, says the St. Paul (Jlohe. Every
thing Indicates that the stock of hogs will
run very low this winter. Even the bis
packers, with all their dtiilrc to bear tho
market, are confcHsing that hom will be
woll rleaned up by spring. This uhou'd
encourage growers to keep careful wat h
on their blood tows; make arrangements
for comfortable farrowing places; feed
mjws for milk development; see that they
get exercise, pure air In their hleeplng
places, dry quarters, and In other ways
make them comfortable, ah well as her
little ones when they come. Every pig
saved this spring may be a big, valuable
hog next fall or winter.
