February Is down on tlio wheat snecti-
lators calendar as a bear month and pos
sibly to support this allegation moved the
bear continent to accept easy cables and
rose-colored Kansas crop tldliiKS as suffi
ciently Important factors to Justify letting
out snort lines. May opened at iii't'il it'ic,
shade under yesterday. Wheat came out
on a constantly Increasing scale tilt May
reached 75SiwAC. where the market stead
ied and reacted to 76o on reports of a strong
rnsn marKet at .Minneapolis and tlio en-
f:agcniiuil of four loads of wheat for Lis
ion. This advlrn failed of Miiimort and the
'market dropped back to 75V4o, Heavy nou-
i iinaru clearances and liberal export sales
i caused moderato coverlnir under which tl
market reacted to 76Hc and' closed steady
at that llgurc, He under yesterday. The
cash situation was reported somewhat Im
proved. Exporters reported 27 loads taken.
Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour

mary western markets reached a total of

of tho better grading of tho cereal received
today, thcro being fifteen cars of contract
out of a total of .122 cars. First sales or
May wero at 40-iJi407e. Tho bear Interests
asserted that tho pressure from this source.
combined with moderato selling by weak
. longs, eausod a decline to 404e. Tho later
strength of wheat caused covering, under
wnicu tno maraei reacted aim cioseu
Htendy. tin lower, at W.i'.
Outs were fairly uctlvo and fluctuated In
I nccordanco with tlio dictates of the. corn
market. May sold between 25o and Z.r!u
mid closed '.Vfl'.io lower at 26V4C. Receipts
were, iui cars.
I'rovlsons wero unlet and opened easy
because of largo hog receipts, hut rattled

NEW YORIC. Feb. 27. Today's trading
In tho stock tnarket. while unite large, was
very much congested In a few stocks. There
was continued strength In St. Paul and n
Into buoyant rise In Sugar and notable gains
iy some or the less prominent nign-pnccu
Industrial, but the general market was not
much Inclined to respond In sympathy, al
though tho depression which existed In
some parts of the list early In the day was
mrtiy relieved. l 110 speculative tone was
nrllneil In nvtmintlilzn Willi the continued
heaviness of 'the steel stocks than with the
strnniz fenttires nf i)n market. The In
clination of the steel stocks to gravitate to
11 lower level Is a distinct disappointment
to the speculative world, as 11 was nopen
that when tho doubts and uncertainties at
1 1' 11 1 1 1 11 it tin. nerlnil nf neuotlatloilS were
cleared and tho great consolidation of con
trol rillty assured, prices or 1110 securities
would relied the hoped for advantages to
he owners nt the properties. 1 ncre wis
large trading again In tho stocks of the
urn 1 m tndnv. but It was In large part on
arbitrage ojicrutlous from one Btock to an
other. The discrepancy III tlie prices 01 uie
stocks and their privileges of conversion
Into the stock of the I'nlted States Steel
ornoratlou forms the basis of these opera.-
tlons. They consist In the purchase of such
members of tlie group as aro proportion
ately low, and tho simultaneous sale
ngalnsl these purchases of stocks which
aro high, Tho natural tendency of theso
operations Is to bring tho prices of the
various stocks to a nnsis consistent wun
their relative claims for tho new stock.
It was nil to evident today that tills piece
nf adjustment was serving to bring down
the prices or thoso stocks selling too nigit
rather than to bring tin the prices of those,
which were relatively low. That Is to say,
most members of the group showed declines
in tho day which extend to s-4 in iNimouni
Tube. 2 In Tin Plato and a point each In
tho National Steel stocks and National
Steel preferred. Steel and Wlro prefer: ed
was advanced Hi, National Hteei proierreu
nearly a point nt and American Hoop and
Tin Plato preferred small fractions. For
tho purpose of accommodating these arbi
trage operators thero were also dealings on
tho curb In contracts to deliver when Issued
tlio now United States Steel corporation
stock.
Tho common stock demanded 10 at one
time this miiiiilnir and the preferred 8114.
but beforo tho close the quntatlou for the
omnion stock had receded to neiw jrs nnii
that for tho preferred to about 82. Tho
transactions amounted to only a. few thou
sand shares, but the quotations wero ac
cepted on tiio Stock exchango nu a basis
of operations, Tlio securities aro expected
to bo listed ultimately ou the Stock ex.
chnnge, but It Is not unusual that securi
ties so transferred from tho curb to the
exchango sell lower after the change, An
example Is that of tho new union Paclnc
convertible 4 per cent bonds Issued to pro
vide ror 1 no Hotitncrn l'aci u nurcnase
which sold in the unlisted department of
tho xehaiisn for tho tlrst tlmo today, over
2 points lielow tno recent ntitsuio quotation.
Tho strength of St. Paul today was ac
companied ny assertions tnnt tlio uivineiut

attributed to reports that tho import duty

The monev market continued easy today.

News of General French's victory at Mld

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 27. An appeal has

Apacho county snys a portion of the, tribe
near Rohmah is In a fearful condition from
lack of food and clothing. Rations at the
agency aro totally inadequate and whites
havo been contributing supplies. So wide

to be equal to the occasion. Tho steer mar
ket, however, did not show much life and in
fact was rather slow. Thero was not much
change noticeable, though, In tho prices
pain una mo situation could uest ue de
scribed by calllne It n slow, but steady
market. The commoner kinds wero hard to
dlsposo of. but warmed-un cattle sold with
out much difficulty at good stcody prices to
ino reeucr uuyers.
Tho cow market was good and actlvo and
stronger, in somo cases sales wero mado
that looked 60 or even 10c higher than the
somo kind of stuff sold for yesterday.
Cholcd cows or hclfors. wore In good de
mand at strong prices und ennners were
also ready sellers. Tho medium grades did
not move quite as freely, hut at tho samo
time they brought very satisfactory nrlces.
Thero was not much change noticed In tho
prices paia ror mills, calves and stags.
There wero very fow feeders on sale to
day that had not been on corn, and, ns the
aemanu was in gooci shape, tno hetter
grades brought strong prices. Yard traders
took hold and bought up tho wnrmed-up

HOGS There wns another liberal supply
of hogs here today and ns a result tho
market opened 5OT.4C lower than yesterday.
The bulk of hogs sold from 15.25 to 15.2714,
with some of the choicer loads selling as
high ns 15.30 The hogs moved toward tho
scales quite rapidly at thoso prices and
tho bulk were sold In fairly good sensnn.
Die lighter weights sold from 15.25 down
and the general run brought 15.2714-
After about 100 loads had changed hands
packers seemed to have their more urgent
orders filled nnd the last end of the market
was not as active and the feeling was
weak. Tho last hogs to change hnuds did
hot bring quite ns good prices nnd It was
rather late before the pens wero cleared.
