Buying after the early decline was of a general character, nearly all of the Unra houses taking that aide cf the mar- tkomeetln news waa of an extremely bul Ua datura. Scarcit of aeod mlUloc wheat was a feature. Private dispatches stated that mIMi rs nt Ir.trrinr points rf ICnnrna snd Oklahoma were paving fancy prices for hard winter varieties, putting ttmt (trade of wheat beyond the reach f if exporters. Northwestern advices were of a similar tenor. Mlnneirpolls reporting that black, smutty samples sold for K.c snd 7c a bushel. The seahoard reported the foreign situation even stronger than yesterday. With such a state of affnlr prlree encoun tered little opposition In the upward course.

Primary re ceipts were filjtum bushels, compared with 3x9. 5mi bnsheis a year ago. Minneapolis, Puluth and Chlcnco reported receipts of E9 cars, against 41 cars last week and 177 a year ago. Crrn had about the same experience as wheat, fluctuations being shnrp and sud den, with the sjwculatlve feeling n nervous ono on account of -the foreign situation. There was a good deal of corn for sale early by commission houses, and not much waa wanted, but later on offerings became rather limited and ninnv of the early sel lers had considerable difficulty In supplying needs when prices started upward. Shorts were fair buyers throughout the. day and there was an urgent demand from export ers. Aside from war the chief hull factor s the scarcity of good corn. The strength of wheat, however, helped to support corn prices. The opening on May was ic lower to H" higher at 6uVii.V)c. After declining to blWa U'tC tho price rallied to Wc, but reacted on proflt-t.iklng. The close was fltm nt foSn. July closed n. shade higher at b.V iftfV,c Local receipts were 212 cars, 6 of contract grade. Oata were nervous and Influenced largely by thn action of wheat and corn. Scalpers hnd things about their own way. but they were inclined to trade on conservative lines owing to the uncertainty of the foreign sit uation. After opening a shade to ijfi c. higher at 43i44c, May declined to 43sc, but milled again and closed at the top at 44c. July was unchanged at 397c. Ixx-al re ceipts wero 129 cars. Buying for Interior account snd covering by shorts, especially In May pork, caused firmness In provisions. There was a fnir amount of liquidation In progress the entire day and at times tho market showed a tendency to wwi-ken. but active siipport on the soft spots resulted In rallies.

NEW IORK, Feb. lS.-The stock market dropped Into stagnation in the course of today. The unwillingness pf the profes sional, traders to follow the selling move ment of yenterday was a striking evidence ot the rigid limitations upon me movement of the current market. Even the traders are few and timid and this fact Is accepted ,he common explanation of the Immo bility of the market. It Is somewhat re mirkable, however, that even an occa sional spurt of activity or the execution of orders for some heavy blocks of stocks eeefu equally without effect upon prices. The possibility is thus suggested that the professionals' share In the market may lie reinforced by some more active and power ful forces wltn a purpose to keep the mar ket in stable equilibrium In sending the working out fo other purposes in the finan cial world.. Certainly there was notlrlng In today's news to change sentiment over the outlook for stocks. The cessation of the selling was evidence, hoever, that the traders wer timid about following a de cline in prices, as they showed themselves to be towards the advance on Mondav. The way In which some very large offer ings of Baltimore & Ohio and of Pennsyl vania were absorbed at the opening ga've a suggestion of support of a potential char acter that may hiive Intimidated the bear element. This selling wan prompted by the accurate knowledge that a d. Unite ad vance towards a settlement tit the Oould I'ennsylvania conflict had miscarried. Wa bash preferred was also a sufferer. An other snowstorm gave warning or further Impairment of railroad earnings of a kind which the Baltimore & Ohio January state ment was a discouraging example, with Its decrease in net earnings of $7W.ooo from the preceding January. The southwestern railroads have suffered less than other railroads from this cause, although light snows were reiortcd in that region today, but this affords a snow protection for wheat, which has been much needed. This may have accounted for relative firmness in some of the southwestern grangers. United States Steel preferred also showed the benefit of the more confident tone of trado authorities over the outlook. Amal gamated Copper suffered from the renewal of the copper litigation In the New York courts. A rally In the cotton market mav have relieved fenrs of money troubles from spec ulative losses by the violent decline In cot ton. Foreign Influences for foreign account were on an Insignificant scale The ap proach of the time for reconvening the supreme court at Washington and the pos sibility of an early decision In the Northern Securities case Is a possible repressive in fluence upon the market. A slight recovery lute In the day wns prftctlcallv all lost and the closing was stagnant at about the low est. Bonds were dull nnd heavy. Total sales par value. $1.175.0"0.

Everything at all cexirable was soon disposed or. The market on corn-fed steers could best be described by calling It active and fully steady. Some of the cattle that Just suited buyers may have been a trine stronger, but aa a general thing there was not much change from yesterday, with the exception of a little more activity. Common and In ferior grades did not change hands aa readily as the good stuff, but still the prices paia were ruuy 11s gooa as yesteroay. The cow market was also active and could be quoted steady to strong. The strength, though, was largely confined to the more desirable grades, which were picked up first. The general run of " cowa sold In about the same notches they did yesterdfcy. As supplies were limited, - everything changed hands In good season. Bulls brougnt fully as good -pr-tccs as they did yesterday and veal calves were fully steady. There were over fifty loads of stocksra snd feeders shipped to the country yester day, which went a long way toward clean ing up the supply that speculators had on hand. As a result they were all anxious for fresh supplies this morning and the more desirable bunches were active and steady to strong, with others generally steady. Quite a few warmed-up cattle of good quality sold to speculators at better prices than the killers would give. Repre sentative sales: BEEF STEERS. No. V.'." I.... 80.... 1.... .... .... ....
