rnilot nnd clowl Utc Improved. O.ils at
tho cloo wero Uc better nnd provMotm ti
10c to 1214c up.
Indifference of tlic Liverpool market snvo
rim to expectation of lower price hero,
but tho tup of tho gong found offerings
valued somewhat higher than they wero lit
the cloe yesterday. May openeil unchanged
to i if higher nt 75M175HC. 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. Kxport
rrs reported 22 cnrloaclH taken for forclKli
shipment, while seaboard clearancea In
wheat and flour were equal to J32.niu
bushels. Primary receipts aggregated 11.
Cm bushels, eompnred with tM,(Y) the corre
pondlng iiny last year. Minneapolis nnd
Iiuluth reported 243 cars, ngalnst (S17 last
week nnd Ml a year ago, Ilccelptrt here
were 3S cars, 1 of which was graded on
tract Corn relinquished the leadership on
rhnnge after the first hour's trade, having
held It undisputed for a wee.k. May opened
4c bight r at 40MOie under the Influence
of light receipts. The crowd, led by an In
fluential trniler, fraught freely and Mny,
having dropped to 4nic, reacted to 4ny,e.
Tho mnrket became unlet on this advance
nnd rimnlned In that condition to the end.
"Wheat strength helped to mistnln prices
during tho Intter half of tho session. The
close was "io higher at 40ic. Hecelpts were
475 cars, and of these but 2 cars wero equal
to contract requirement.
Oats wero fairly active within n nnrrow
range. Tho wheat and com strength wero
Influential. May sold .between 2.'fr2fHc
and 25io and closed 'c higher nt 23?c. He
celpts wero 170 enrs.
Tho undertone of the provisions market
whs strong, although generally quiet. Hog
receipts were smaller than hnd been esti
mated nnd this, combined with a good cash
demand nnd the strength of tho grain mar
kets, resulted In nn advance, which wns
firmly held. May pork sold between J14.07J4
nnd $14.15 nnd closed lOfclZe higher nt JH. ,10

NEW YORK. 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

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. Spot closed steady,
l-16o higher; middling uplands, 9 5-16o; mid

CATTLE There was a light run of cattla
hero today nnd as the demand on the part
of packers wns In good shape the market
was active and stronger all around. 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.

a light run of hogs
11 vomit the mnrket
ruled genernllv 7!e hlcber than vesterday.
It wns not a very active market on tho
start, ns sellers were holding for good,
strong prices and buyers did not like to pay
tho advance. The best heavyweight hogs
wero picked up first mostly nt $5..W4 nnd ns
high as $5.35 was paid. The general run of
hogs, however, sold at J5.30 and tho lighter
weights brought $.27W. or less.
It wns a slow, Irregular mniket from
stnrt to finish, as there were sevcrnl wcuk
nnd strong places bofore the hogs had
finally nil changed hands. Tho closo wns a
little weaker than tho best time, but still
medium grndes would bring $5.30. The mar
ket as a whole was Just about 7&c higher
than yesterday. Representative sales:
