Th railway sr getting bark to running conditions again and (ne movement ui xrain la itiown by the linger receipts for indsy. All of th markets have more car it wheat, torn and oala than they have had for some time. This la grain which lias been tied up by the coid weather. I Tha Omaha yarn's are now about clear of the accumulation of grain and tomorrow will see the roads In this city cleared tip. The northwest reports a somewhat larger movement In the country and larger re. celpta are expected In the grain renter. The receipts which have cnntlniu-d larger than the bull authorities had predicted, are explained by one of them as due largely to wheat brought In from Oregon and Wash ington and from Canada. Fifteen million bushels have been brought east from the T'acllto states and J,i.0n0 bushels from Canada. These figure In the receipts. At the same time the stocks nre decreasing; dally and It Is five month before the new crop. Oregon Is said to be about all In now, and with the last of this wheat the stocks will decrease rapidly. The visible supply of wheat lias decreased 7i""K) bush els. Ist week and last year being holi days, no comparison can be obtained. The primary receipts today were 7b.",oo and tho shipments 214.KJO bushels. The wheat clear ances were 23,922 bushels. The world's shipments of wheat were 10,312,U0 bushels against ,S88,0nn bushels for the preceding week and , 770,000 bushels last year. The Increase of wheat on passage Is 2.264.0UO bushels. The primary receipts of wheat last week were 2.(,o.floo bushels ugnlnst J.soo.OOo bushels last year, or almost 50 per cent las. The American wheat markets were rather featureless this morning The May opened at $1.19, and for high and low moved H cent In each direction. The foreign markets were stronger. IJverpool closed with an advance of ; Paris was up from to Vi; Berlin was H stronger and Budapest h H higher. Brnomhall cables government crop damage figures for Agra, Oudh and he central provinces place the Ions at exceeding 60 per cent. These provinces are the tlrst and third largest growers and last year produced li)6,731.i00 bushels of wheat. This week last year saw the high point of May wheat, $1.09. This was In the Armour deal. The market declined to SSic in April. Private advices from Liverpool say the corn situation Is improving. Aa soon as the public gets the Impression the heaviest of the shipments are ont of the way, the market will advance. The dlspatrh says the country Is bare of stocks and sensi tive to American advances. The market Is feeling the effect of the' talk of Ar gentina crop damages, wmcn are tnnugnt to be considerable, making Argentina by no means so serious a competitor with the com of thla country. Chicago Is feeling the effect of the bunched receipts of some days and the market la rather slow. Buyers are said to fear deterioration of corn with warm weather, because of the poor grad ing of recent arrival. The primary re ceipts of corn today are 417JJOO hu.. and the shipment mono bu.

CHICAfJO, Feb. 20 Pelting of May wheat by commission houses had a depressing ef fect today on the grain msrfcet In general. At the close wlv-st for May delivery wss off 'yftV'- July was down Hie Msy corn la ott V$V-. Oats and provisions ara practically unchanged At the opening the wheat market showed some signs of firmness. In sympathy largely with higher prices at IJverpool. July was up 'e to 4c. at C.01H to H.01Y Msy wa a shade higher to Mc lower, at $l.l to fl.l9. Crop damage reports from India formed apparently the sole basis of ths strength or foreign grain markets. Statis tics were of a bearish nature. World's shipments were considerably In excess of those of a year ago, ths amount of wheat on passage showing an average of over i.uon.noo bushels. Immediately after the opening commission houses became active sellers of the May option. Demand was not urgent enough to absorb the offerings. In consequence the price dropped to fl.1H. With shorts covering on the decline the market grad ually recovered. After the first hour busi ness was confined principally to small traders. The highest point of the day on Mav was reached at I1.19H. July sold up to ll.021.. Ihirtng the last part of the ses sion the market wss affected by weakness at St. IxmiIs and Minneapolis. I,lkellhiKxl of on Increase In movement resulting from milder weather was the main reason for lower prlcee In outside markets. The close was rather weak with May at $1.18. After touching $1.0P July closed at $l.01V Clear ances of wheat and flour were equal to 73.000 bushels. The amount on passage In creased 2.264.000 bushels and the visible sup ply decreaacd 640,000 bushels. Primary re ceipts were 705.600 bushels compared with a Ixdiday a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 832 cars against a holiday last week and a year ago. A number of prominent commission houses were persistent sellers of corn throughout the entire sesnlon. In conse quence the market had an easy undertone. The principal cause of the selling seemed to be a fear that receipts will Increase con siderably In the near future. May opened 'c higher, to a shade lower at 40Vu4tiM- to 4tiV. ld off to 4tc and closed at 40V 4trV- Iocal receipts wero 321 cars, none of contract grade. The reduction In freight rates caused more liberal receipts of oats today. This fact combined with weakness of other grains was responsible for on easy finish. Alny opened unchanged to a shade higher at 30'iJ30T1c to 3n"c, sold off to 30Va 30Ac and closed at 304c. lyocal receipts were 149 cars. Provisions were a trifle easier owing to liberal receipts of live hogs. Trading was principally of a local character. May pork closed MtV.ic. lower at $12 77 Iard and ribs were each off a shade at fS.tuxgOJVs respectively. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: V, heat, 23 cars; corn, 319 cars; oats, 203 cars; hogs, 37.000 head. The Board of Trade Will be closed Wed nesday February 22, legal hollhay.

FIRM OPENING, FOLLOWED BY A REACTION laward Movement Is Then Itesomed at New Points .Railway Issoes Lower oa Arcoont of Trsfflc Blorkades. NEW YORK. Feb. 20-The stock msrket demonstrated sgaln today In a striking manner Its power of resistance against adverse influences such as would have worked decisively for a reaction In periods of past speculative activity. Even the traditional prejudice against a high and active opening on Monday morning proved of no effect, although there was hesitation and then a reaction sfter the strong open ing. But the upward movement wss re sumed st new points and the strength of the market established more decidedly than be fore. The most obvious of the influences against the market was the rsther dis couraging condition of the country's trans portation discovered by the weekly talks with traffic officials. These reported a condition of practical paralysis from storms and blockades on many lines east and west and while progress was repor-l towards breaking the blockades It was not likely that normal conditions would be restored for msnv weeks. A still fur ther cut was made In the rates for export grain. The gross earnings for the second week of February showed already quite clearly the effect of these Influences. These were the cause of a halting and sluggish response to the first buoyant rise In Union Pacific. The next demonstration centered in the industrials and It was not until late In the day that the railroad stocks generally came up. The activity was largely congested in Lnlon Pacific and Southern Pacific, Ontario Western and the I'nlted States Steel stocks, the total In which was run up qulrklv at the rate of 1,000 to 10.000 shares In single blocks. All of the stocks cQnnected with the Northern Se curities merger or with the supposed plan of readjustment to follow the dissolution of the merger was strong In sympathy. Northern 8"rurltles Itscll adding several points to Its record price In the curb mar kets. The heavy absorption of Ontario & Western was from equally undefined mo tives, the rumors pointing generally to good terms for the minority stockholders. The heavy buying of I'nlted States Steel sfter a period of comparative dormancy was attributed to banking Interests near to tho corporation and the credit given to this supposition induced other buying of the stock. Reports of negotiations for the merger of southern Iron companies grew more explicit and that group of stocks was strong In consequence. The taking over by the American Selling com pany of a. mining corporation and per sistent assertions of a plan for compre hensive combination of lead Interests ex plained the strength of another group of stocks. Rumors of coming peace were re ceived from abroad and the continued de cline In exchange marked the culmination of the foreign demand for our gold. Call money, however, was rather firmer and there was inclination amongst stock exchange houses to take out time loans, with a resulting firmer tendency In that de partment of the money market. New York exchange at Chicago fell to a discount for the first time this season, marking the closing of that Bource of supply for New York banking reserves. The reports from Washington of a decision reached by the firesldent not to press for railroad legls atlon of this session of congress and to remit the Intention of culling an extra ses sion was a factor In the demand for slocks amongst professional operators. As a re sult of the easing of foreign exeffange and the Increased Inquiry for money there was some lending by foreign bankers In this market. The stock market took the late realizing pretty well, and the cloae was firm, though noK at the top level of the day. Ronds were Irregular. Total sales, par value. $6,865,000.

Reports from other points were very unfavorable to the selling Interests and as a result the market here was slow, with the tendency of prices downward. In the esse of sheep, however, the decline was not very serious and In fact the choicer grades sold at fully steady prices at the opening of the market. After the first round, however, the feeling did not seem to he quite so good and the gen eral market on sheep could best bo de scribed by calling It wesk to s dime lower. Iimbs suflred more than sheep and the general market was quoted 104ll5c lower than at the close of last week nnd some salesmen thought the decline even more than that. Trailing was rather slow on both sheen and lambs snd It was late before even the bulk of the offerings was disposed of. F.wes sold for $5. 40. wethers $6.60. yrar llug $8.30 and lambs $7.50.
