Corn was traded in heavily and prices
moved In sympathy with wheat The open

a shade to VnSc higher at 6''nal'f. There

NBW YORK, Feb. 'Ji A good start
sgalnnt depression was made by the stock
market this morning, hut the lone became
neivous and apprehensive as the day wore
cn and In the afternoon there was posi
tive weakness. The relative share In
causing this weakness between the several
factors In evidence was not very clear.
Some of the early Improvement had Its
Impetus from foreign nourcen. where the
success of yenterday In calming the pan
icky conditions on the Paris bourse was
followed by some rebound. The later ac
tion of the market gave rise to the sup
position that none of the early advances
were stimulated by manipulation to af
fcrd a betttr basis for selling. The con
centrated nature of the selling Induced
some fears that large Interests were liqui
dating their holdings. The suspense felt
over the coming Northern Securities de
cision was an Important Influence In the
market and there wan room for the opin
ion held by nome persons that It was the
dominant Influence.
Wall street was entirely nt sea during
the morning as to what to expect on the
subject. London had a belief that a de
cision would be handed down today and
would favor the company. No decisive
Information could he secured here whether
the court would hand down any decision
today nt all. Monday being the usunl de
cision day, It was doubtful whether tho
holiday of yenterdiy would lead the court
to hand their decision on thin, the flrnt
day of annemhllng. When the report was
received thnt decisions were being deliv
ered, the market nhoWed the greatest
weakness cf the whole day In sympathy
with a break of ? In Northern Securities
Itself on the curb. I'neanlness over the
foreign financial situation was revived by
the report of an important banking failure
In Berlin and the strength In the local ex
change market gave color to the doubts
felt.
It Is realized that Europe Is not stripped
of American securities, however large the
recent reduction In the floating supply
there may have been. Kxtennlve financial
disturbances In Europe would be sure to
precipitate presnure upon the world's
strongest financial point, which seems to
bp New York at present. The strong In
flux of csnh Into New York, which Is
making it no strong. Is viewed somewhat
dubiously, taken In connection with the de
cline In railroad earnings nnd the shrink
age In the country" bank clearings, point
ing to a decrease In business activity which
Is not wholly reassuring. The pendency
of the vote on the Panama treaty pointed
to an early call by the secretary of the
treasury for a portion of government de-
fioslts In national banks. A further cut
n the lnke rate kept alive apprehension
over the war or rates.
Thn end of ths morlatortum on RaMmcre
obligations uncovered no embarrassment,
which canned satisfaction. The "-market
chined at about the lowest of .the day and
showed losses ranging generally between
1 and 1i points. Southern Pacific was the
most actively pr.sned for sale nnd a num
ber of dormant stocks made vjolent de
clines. In the bond market the tntnl sales, pnr
value, were tl. 840.000. United States 3s
"Intered advanced 4 per cent on call.
The following were the closing quotations
on the New York Stock exchange:
Sales. High. Low. Close.

CATTLE There was a big run of cattle
here this morning end as a rule pacaers
hud little trouble In pounding the market
to quite an extent As will be seen from
the table ut receipts above, tho supplies
for the two days this week are consider
ably In ttxeeye of the receipts for the aume
cuys of last, week and also of iitsi yar.
Corn-fed steers made up a large hare
of the offerings this morning and the gen
eral market could wifely be quoted a olnie
lower than yesterday. Some of the best
heavy cattle were perhaps not quite that
much lower, while the warmed-up and
common stuff In many cases was consld r
ably more than a dime iower. t):i ih
average the decline did not mls 10c vry
far. Truding was slow from Hurt to tinl-h,
4 the large receipts made uuyers Indiffer
ent and salesmen were slow to take the
C rices offered. The day was well advance.!
efore a clearance was made.
The cow market was also lower and con
siderable) uneveness in the prices paid was
noticeable. Some of the choicest bunches
1 rought p'lces that were rot so much lower
t 'in n yesterday, but when It dime to tho
rencral run the :narkrt wa safely a dime
lower.
Bulls were a'so lower In sympathy with
the decline on cows snd steers. Veal calves
were steady to a little lower.
Storkers and feeders were about the only
clnns of stock that commanded steady
prices. The demand seemed ro he fully
equal to the supply and anything ht nil do
nlrable sold freely at yesterday's quotations.
The common kinds were not so brisk, hut
sill! even those sold at steady prices. Rep
resentative sales:

SHEEP Receipts were again quite liberal
thin morning and as a result packers were
Inclined to lie bearish. Trading was slow
from the beginning, as snlemnen were not
willing to tako off much from yesterday's
prices. Buyers, thounh. wou'd not lake
anything unless they could take off 104iKc,
ana sansmen Dually hud to nell on about
that basis. There were several bunches of
the same kind on salo this morning that
wero offered yesterday and practically all
of them had to Bell liv.i ir,c lower. There
were some well-bred native lttmtks on sale
that brought 36. the highest price paid In
somp time. Owing to tho fact that the
market was s'.ow and offerings quite liberal
the day was well advanced before a clear
ance was made.

buyers had a good exeunt: for pounding
