Tho first batch of buying orders being Katlsfled the mnrkct beenmo fiulet but firm on inoderatu lurth wcMern receipts nnd the fact that largo, nrcnit of the winter wheal belt Is without now protection. There w,i even n bit of gopnlp concerning thi Hesxlnn fly In Nc brnaltn, but It In rather early for that in rect to bo much of n factor In fixing the prlco of wheat, The bears derived Home comfort from an itnoltlclal estimate giving Houlh Australia nn exportable surplus of P.M7.000 bllBliels. This Is a liberal lucrea-e from other estimates and those who sold short on the Information had reason to re gret It later, when buying by leading opcrntors nnd Kcaboard advices of n letter export slluntlou caused a sharp bulge to TCe, A proilt-taklug movement greeted the advance, hut tho close was strong, May Vft'jo over yesterday nt 76MifV.

Feb. 20.-TI10 dread of the unknown was tho depressing fuetor In Hip stock market today. Preparations wero evidently being miido for the Interim of thr.e consecutlvo holidays by lightning speclllatlvo leads. Tho possibilities of tho tlireii days' Interval which were cnnvnscd by tho speclllatlvo public were- by no means wholly on tho side of depression, but what ever developments may evohe they havo been so thoroughly discounted that tho bill nnco of vhanco Is considered clearly on tho sldo of lower prices. Tho spccJlntivo world septus to hnvo arrived nt tho con clusion that tho completion of the iletnils of tho steel merger Is not likely to bo fol lowed Immediately by a campaign of man ipulation for higher prices In order to mnke a market for the new securities. It will bo remembered that this wns what happened two years tigo when the nowly-lledged In dustrials were ilr.it thrown upon tho world. Indications seem to point clearly to a do slro for quiet stock market conditions for tho present on tho part of tho financial powers who nro most largely concerned In tho steel negotiations, ns tliey havo nlso been In tho recent railroad connections. It Is not hard to understand why, with colos sal financial undertakings In embryo those concerned In them should tleslro most of all quiet nnd stable conditions, both In tho money 'mil stock markets. The progress of negotiations Is Involved in further com plexity by marked Ituldtty of market prices tor stocKs itnii uncertain rates for money. This makes Intelligible tho dcslro of the llnanclal powers not to further cxclto spec ulation at this tlmo. Of course any violent break In prices would be equally Ut vurl- incH wmi tneir wisnes. 1 no certainty inai powetful support would bo nccorded to pre vent a sudden nnd violent decline tends to ,reprens bear activity. It Is evident that every enori is mailing to preservo tno tran quillity or 1110 money market by Keeping available nil possible resources nmt also by reassuring expressions of opinions as to the ability of tho money market to meet fu ture requirements. Nevertheless, tho likeli hood of another weak bank statement be tween tho adjournment of tho exchange on Thursday nnd tho resumption of trading on Mondny. with tho belief that advantage will be taken of tho closed stock market to publish tho plans of tho Bteel merger, wero two rather ominous possibilities which sorved to bring a dribbling of stocks on the market all day. An effort was made dur ing tho afternoon to turn tho market against the shorts In the hopo of driving them to cover, but the effort pro.ved futile and tho closing was weak, with many tocks nt tho lowest. There wns a sig nificant break In tho steel stocks nt tho last. Steel and Wire, nnd Federnl Steel fall ing suddenly from 2 to 2-i. There was some snow or strength in steel and wire pre ferred, but tho steol stocks were all weak. Ill tho principle active railroad atocks there wero at one time declines of 1 to 2 points, Members of tho granger. Southwestern and Pacific groups wero notably effected. Dela wore & Hudson was e.rratlc. The local trac tion stocks were bid up In tho course of tho attempt ngalnst tho shorts nnd stocks nnd a number of smnller railroad companies wero lifted from 1 to o tiotnts. Pierre Mar quette, Mobile & Ohio, tho Iowa Central stocks nnd tho Minneapolis & St. Louis stocks being conspicuous. General Electric was forced up ai one tlmo 1. points, nut closed with a not gtiin of only 7H. The level of activity in tho market was lower than for many weeks past, tho day's business falling to about tho mini 1 Its t tor uny full day since electron.

Cotton Market. NEW YORK. Feb. 20.-COTTON Today's market was a restless, emittc affair, with tlie bears 111 control axs tno opening and at tho close, while friends of tho staplo were In possession throughout tho tlmo Inter vening. Dlsnnuolntment in the Liverpool rcsponso to last night's sharp uplift here was general and under soiling for'both ac counts prices went off 2if0 points on the call, Tho opening tono was given as steady lesmto tne lower nnces. Snorts soon took fright, however, nt tho crop movement, which fell far short of predictions. More over, prlvato wires stated that southern markets wore holding their own on export demnnd nnd hotter southern mill Inquiry. Hcforo noon a flight net advance had been recorded, duo largely to actlvo covering, though Investment support was a feature nnd aggressive buying of March by an ex port house llcures prominently. Soon after midday mere was a lurtner upward move ment In values, a net rlso of f7 points at one time being apparent. Tno additional strength resulted from estimates for small rccolptB and fears that Liverpool would fully respond to any advance which we might show. Yet Just bofore the close a wave or proui-ia ting ny room noiuers sent prices downward rapidly, with tho market finally easy and net lt?7 points higher. While tho local spot market was marked l-16o higher on sales of ICO bales, tho rise was at 1110 lime wnen ruiuros wore nt their highest point.

Tho market on beef steers seemed to be a llttlo uneven, although the feeling was decidedly better. In some cases where the cattle Just happened to suit tho buyers they sold as much ns a dime higher, but In other cases sellers were unable to get much better prices than they did yesterday. It was a good, active, Btrong market, however, and everything at all desirable wns sold in good senson. (tow stuff showed the greatest Improve, ment today and won 6310c higher than yes terday all around and active. For the week It Is cafo to quote the market a good 15c higher. Light receipts wore doubtless the cause for the advance to a great ex tent. Good handy weight heifers are In exceptionally active demand and are sell ing at very satisfactory prices. Bulls, calves and stags also sold a little stronger today. There were very few feeders of any kind here today, but such ns wero offered brought good strong prices. The demand from the country yesterday was In good shape mid yard traders succeeded In un loading a good many of their cattle. They bought up quite a few warmed-up cattle this morning, which helped out tho trade on that class of cattle. It Is tho cattle showing quality, however, that buyers want and the common stuff Is hard to move. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. Coffee Mnrket.
