odvanca In wheat today, May closing c
higher. Corn cloned Ho lower, oats tin
changed and provisions unchanged to 214c
up.
Following tho opening depression, which
ecoincd In perfect consonance with tho
Jiown and statistics of tlia day, tho wheat
market behaved In an extremely bullish
mannor Speculative students paired off
tho continental strength against Liver
pool's falluro to respond to advances on
this side, nnd laid tho rest to a covering
movement. May wheat opened '40140 to
HU'Kc lower at 75c to 75Ua Commission
houses bought on a falny liberal n?ale,
tneanwhllo selling July at a discount of
lje under May. On tho advance local
ghortn enran Into tho market and In bidding
for tightly held wheat sent tho prlco up to
75ifS6T4c. In this rally sympathy with tho
corn market was Influential. Tlio world's
Vlslhlo showed an Incrcaso of 1,700,0V) mi.,
iiiid occasioned selling from both bulls and
iV.nrs-'..unlcr wtilcli tho market rcucted to
7&M(7&!iO. Again lii(Ulry was lenewod,
only to Ilnil that llttlo was for sale. May
V-os forced sharply to 76o and the chuo
yu strong He over Monday at 7o!40i6c.
Jxicnt receipts wcro 76 cars, ono of con
tract grado slnco Monday, whllo Mlnneap
oils and Duluth for the same period re
ported 637 cars, against 269 last week and
JW 11 year ago today. Primary receipts
aggregated for two days 872,000 bu., mm
pareil with 645,0f) bu. lust year. Exporters
reported llftecu loads taken. Seaboard
clearanres in wheat and Hour were equal
to 357,000 bu. since Monday.
Corn paid somo deferenco to tho opening
wheat easiness, Country acceptances wero
more liberal, but seaboard clearances since
Monday wcro enormous 1, 447,ooo bu. and
tho cash Inquiry was good. Receipts wcro
4!i cars. May sold between WbW.)'. al
the opening nnd 39fte a new record for the
option nnd closed He down at 33He. Thu
market eased orf on realizing sales.
Oats wero dull and featureless, with tho
tnido nearly all local. May sold between
IoVjJCHc and 25140 and -closed unchanged
nt '&''. Kecelpts wero 461 cars.
Provisions ruled dull but steady, trade
being conllncd to local Interests. The open
ing was a shade easier because of heavy
hog receipts and lower prices nt tho yards,
but tho market steadied later In sympathy
with the grain markets. May pork cloe I
unchanged at $1I.I2'4, Mny lard 2140 higher
at $7.65 and May ribs unchanged at $7.10.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Speculatlvo llqul
datlon was the order of tho day today on
tho stock market nnd townrd the close of
tho day the selling became urgent In somo
of tho stocks which have been highly ma
nipulated In the progress of the extended
advance. The depletion of margins nnd
tho covering of stoploss orders were evi
dently rosponslblo for somo of the heavy
offerings of stock which were tumbled upon
tho market In growing volume ns the de
clines In prices proceeded. Generally spenk
Ing there wns n feeling in speculative cir
cles thnt "tho good nows was all out," to
use a favorlto Wall street phrase. Tho fact
that tho day's news did not bring any an
nouncement of n now glgnntlc combination
in prospect or In courso of achievement
probably had much to do with this feeling.
The highly seasoned faro to which tho Wall
street palato has been accustomed lenves
the speculation rather flat without Its ac
customed "bracer" of a llnnnclal consolida
tion rutin nK ut) Into tho millions. Tho
disinclination to look for further Important
developments In tho Immediate future was
empnasizcd ny tno current reports or con
templated winter vocation trips by several
of tho capitalists who havo been foremost
figures In tho crent financial nrotccts which
havo recently dazzled the speculatlvo world.
There has been dally nnd even hourly ex
pectation uuii tno details or tno tlnnuciai
plan for effectlnir a mercer of tho steel
combinations would bo officially given to
tho public. The delay In giving out this
information has been trying to tho nerves
of some of tho speculators long of tho steel
stocks and they sought relief today more
than on previous occasions slnco tho pro
jected merger became known by unloading
tneir Holdings. Tnc repented reuurra wnien
tho benrs havo received havo made them
very timid and there wns not much evi
dence of a demand to cover short accounts
even nt considerable declines. Thero wns
undoubtedly largo short selling today, how
ever, In tho belief that an extended period
of reaction had been fairly Inaugurated, a
Doner wnlcli lias been Indulged In many
times beforo In the courso of tho recent ex-
traordlnnry market.
rue course-or affairs in tno money mnrKet
gave substantial ground for npprchenslon
on tho Dart of the sneculators denendent
on lonns for carrying their holdings. It Is
evident that the recent enormous extension
of credits for financing railroad combina
tions has much curtailed tho futuro re
sources of the money market. Tho reflux
oc runus rrnm circulation is distinctly less
with tho growing activity of business re
quirements Incident to the spring trade.
ino nusenco or American suuscriptions or
any Imnortnnt volumo to the new Ilrltlsh
loan excites comment. It Is duo In part to
tno easier conditions or tno rorelgn monoy
market, which resulted In n. price for tho
loan unattructlvo to American Investors.
but there can bo no doubt that tho nar
rowed surplus resources of tho New ork
market also hnd to do with preventing
Amorlcan bids for tho loan. Tho rate of
sterling exchange makes It evident that
any considerable subscriptions for Ameri
can account to tho exchequer bonds would
havo necessitated gold exports. The Janu
ary figures of exports of agricultural prod
ucts, showing nn Inercnso of nearly $20,000.-
OoO over those of the preceding January,
mnKo tins condition tno moro extraordi
nary. It Is believed that tho return of se
curities (luring tho last few months has
been In much largor volumo than any of
tho usually accepted statistics indicate.
London wns a hirco speculative buyer of
stocks here this morning, especlnlly of
Atchison nnd Norfolk & AVestern. but the
heavy profit taking overcame tho London
buying and swept nearly everything in tno
market below Monday's level. Western
Union nnd St. Louis & San Francisco sec
ond preferred wcro conspicuously strong
nnu retained smnn gains, 'ino most ncuio
weakness wns shown by Sugar, Missouri
Pacific, tho stool stocks, Tobacco and the
grangers nnd Pacifies generally. The mar
ket closed under pressure nnd near tho
lowest.
Ilonds weru weak In nvmoathv with
stocks. Totnl sales, par value, $5,35o.000.
i no commercial Advertiser h i.onuon
financial cablecram savs: The stock mur-
ket showed brisk trailing today, with a
very cheerful tone. With this went the
expression of rather vague anticipations of
some sort of favorable announcement In
the klnir's sneech of tomorrow, but so far
as 1 could learn It apparently was only n
enso of tho wish fathering tho thought.
Tho American demand wns much busier
again. In tho enrly hours prices were
strong on tho demand for Atchison nnd
Heading issues, nut n lot or selling orders
from New York fell like a wet blanket on
the market, causing a dull close. The Im
ports of gold yesterday amounted to 90,000,
nil In bars. Tho bank bought 6.000 In
Lisbon todav and took from tho open mar
ket 22,000 In bars. Resides theso additions
120.000 arrived from J';gypt. 'ino imports
for tho wrelt nmount to 426.000. Thero Is
a very sharp demand for money, the bank
having compieto coniroi or tno mnraei.
Cull monoy ranged from 4 to 5 per cent;
time lonns. 4 tier cent, whllo tho bank lent
largely at 5 per cent. Tho exchequer bond
allotments aro regarded as very disap
pointing. The applications for them nt thu
rato of 97 2s received 83 per cent of tho
nmount they usked for. The average rea
lized for tho government is only 97 6s4d.

CATTLE Them was nnl n hnnvv run
of cUttln today, but as bearish reports wero
rocetved from other points packers were
Inclined to pound tho market horo a trifle.
As sellers were generally holding for yes
terday o prices the market was rather slow.
ueer steers or good quality that suueu
tho buyers could b minted lust about
stoady. Packers, however, did not seem
to bo very anxious for supplies this morn
ing, and as a result they did not tuke hold
with much Hfo und bids were generally a
llttlo lower on the common and half fat
stuff. Tho eattln kent movlnir to thn
scales, however, anu while tho market was
slow tho general run of sales did not look
bo much different from yesterday.
The cow market held un In cood snanc.
particularly on tho better grades. Packers
took hold fairly well and tho moro do
strablo bunches wero soon out of first
hands. Tho medium kinds wero rather
draggy nnd prices wcro a llttlo lower than
yesterday on that class of cattle. Canners
sold In about yesterday's notches,
Bulls wero slow salo this morning, and
buyers did not wnnt them unless thi'
could get them for less money than the
paid yesterday. In most cases tho decllno
would bo covered by 6c or 10c. Veal cnlws
of cood quality sold readily at steady
prices.
There were not many iccoers on sine
todny. nnd ns a result tho better grades
sold about steady. Yard traders still have
a good many on hand, and for that reason
they are slow about taking hold of the
common cattle. rnc demand rrom tno
rnnntrv nn fnr this week has not been (rood.
Common cattle today wero slow and lower,
