Wheal waa allowed to rent today and

(peculators, 'l he. May wni Ht was tK

ti.lS'i anil of today 41 1SV Liverpool cloned
with a decline- of . mid S; Purl und
Antwerp were unchuhged; lurlln i lr.t
uown; Hilda-Peslh advanced c. The
American murkei la out ol line for export
and there were no olea rani-en. The
Argentina wheat Is not yet deliverable on
lontracts. It amiot b landed In souther
Atlantic or gulf porta fur less than $1.22
unu that Would menu In Chicago $1.30. Ho
the market will havu to advance about Hi
vnits before the Argentina becumta a fac
lor. Tha St. Louis market werni to be
out of line and is not apt to gi-i any of
the wheat. The St. Louis July Is i7c
under Minneapolis, 5c under Chicago and
ts: under Toledo. Minneapolis la llaely to
net tiie Kansas hard wli'jat and Chicago
in soft wheat. The mlllera bought 2o.io
bushel of cash wheat In Chicago. Duluth
leporta a fair call at May price for No. 1
northern, but low krales How. Kansas
City was steady and thn St. IajuIs cash
market has a fair milling demand The
eullng clerks ligure that the open irv
.(rest In May wheat has bene reduced
iu.VM.nriu bushels In ten days, but Is still
!o,00,0r to ,. long. V rerm's short
line does not rettle, but some ot the east
ern tonus' transactions do. Much of the
wheat Is bought without the intervention
of th scalpers, so that the situation Is
harder to estimate.
Southeastern Missouri and southern Illi
nois report the winter wh;-ai as in line
condition. India amds further reports of
cold and damp weather Just at the beg in
line rjf the harvest. The sltuiitlon Is 1011
ildered 'ess lavorahln and almost had. Tlio
Hour men report the export demand us
much better ilils week. 'J he noi tnwestern
tars continue to hold up In spite of the bull
talk. The Curs today are 404, last week T1
and last vear 25. The Duluth stocks) de
creased 4u.0o for the week. The primury
receipts are 48t,0O bushels against 4)8 bush
1 lust vcar, and Ihe shipments 284,000 bush
els against 44D.0i) bushels.
Trade in eoriv was enormbus this morning.
One Chicago house bought 1,260,000 hurticM
Irom 474e. up. The Muy by noon was He
nbove (he high point of Thursday. That
was 474e, hut the market today opened
weaker at 464,c, from where it Btcadlly nd
vanceil. The July corn by noon hud gained
'iO over the high point ot Thursday, reach
f mg 484c The crowd la speculating aa to
i lie movement which the warm weather and
I the low ratee will bring out It ts easy to
1 see If the corn does not come now Ih a few
, day there Is little likelihood of a move
ment ol any Importance after the rates are
restored for some time. The country roads
are apt to be In a more or less Impassable
condition from now on and to hinder the
country movement of grain. The Chicago
corn receipts for two nays, 622 cars, show
1X6 cars or No.. 4 and 63 cars of no grade.
All of this bad corn comes from Iowa. Some
of Iowa's corn is Mild to bo so bud It can
not be moved when warmer weather cornea.
Nearly all of the arood corn aroins to Chi
cago fa from Nebraska and that market ex
pects thla supply to be cut off when rates
are restored. The advance In cash corn Is
due partly to the buying of elevators and
Klucose factories at the same time. The
corn clearances are 1,421.767 bushels, of
"which New Orleans sends out 402.UK) bushels.
The Argentina shipments are 6.11.000 bushels
for the week against 349,000 the, preceding
week and 464,000 bushels last year. The pri
mary receipts are M.I, 000 bushels, against
616.000 bushels last year, and the shipments
516,00.1 bushels against. 394,000 bushels last
year.

I'rlrrs Board af Trad.
CHICAOO, Feb. 34 Corn wsa the leader
In the grain trade, pulling up prices of both
wheat snd oats, big exports of corn was
the principal reaaon for the unusual situa
tion. May corn at the close showed an ad
vance of Vqlc. Wheat is up V. Oats
made a net gain of VflHc. Provisions, ara
practically unchanged.
An active demand from several prominent
bulla and good buying by cash houses
started the sharp advance In the price of
corn. Alarmed at the appearance of ur
gent demand shorts endeavored to cover,
but offerings being extremely small the ef
forts served only to force prices atlll higher.
Large clearances at the seaboard were the
factor which received most attention. Owing
to lower cables the market opened easier,
Mav being a shade to SVtc lower at 4M4i
4c. Almost Immediately, however, heavy
purchases by a recognised leader of the
bulla precipitated an active Inquiry from
shorts, and as the session advanced the
Volume of trading Increased. Prices rose
stexrtlly until May had reached 4c. The
market closed practically at the highest
point, final quotations of May being t.'c.
Ixical receipts were 530 carloads. 23 of con
tract grade. Influenced by lower prices at
Liverpool the wheat market here opened
easier. Mav was unchanged to c higher
at II 18Ni and July was unchanged to Vc.
lower at II UN. 1 US- The weakness at
Liverpool was attributed to enormous ship
ments from Argentlns. exports from that
countrv being 4.3Hn,OTin bushels, compared
with 2.flf, for the corresSndlng week a
year ago. Pit traders sold unite freely at
the outset, forcing Ma.y down Sl.l1,. On
the dip commission houses being active
caused a rally. During the last half of the
session the Volume of trading w very
light, interest of trader being diverted
temitornrllv to the corn pit- Tha strength
of the yellow cereal was the main cause of
late firmness In other grains. At S1.18H
May reached the highest point of the day
and the closing ouotatlon was at the top.
Julv sold up to ll.02V, closing at a gain of
Mi"c at S1.01VJ1.02.
Clearances of wheat and flmir were equal
to Kft.odO bushels. Kxports for the week, as
shown hv Bradstreet's, were equal to 923.
0m bushela. FTImary receipts were 4M.100
bushels, compared with 44S.SOO bushels a
year ago. Minneapolis. Duluth and Chi
cago reported receipts of 404 cars, against
272 last week and 346 a year ago.
Sentiment In the oats pit was bullish,
largely In sympathy with the strength of
corn. There was a good general trade,
with shorts and commission houses fairly
active buyers. Selling was scattered. May
opened unchanged to 4c lower at aoV6t304e.
advanced to 314c, closed at Sl'sftOlVic. lxcal
receipts, 2C4 cars.
In the provisions market lard showed con
siderable strength In the face of weakness
of other products. Buying by a prominent
packer was the cause of the comparative
strength of lard. The advance in corn had
a bullish effect on provisions. At the close
May pork wss off 24c at S12.W. 7rd was
up 24fi6c at Sfi.SMH.87H. Ribs were tin
changed at Sfi.0l741tH.TO.

sumption or strength. This was largely
due to a decrease In the f.ara of a disas
trous outcome of the struggle for control
of the southern Iron companies. There was
less reason to fear a corner in those stocks
ami their movements were less excited and
convulsive than those of yesterday. The
group was regnrded with more or less sus
picion and distrust, however, which was
nccounted for by the continual conflict of
the various statements and reports put in
rlrculution with a semblance of attthorH.
Theso were concerned with the progr. M ul
leged to' be made In the accumulution of
controlling holdings In the various com
panies and of the terms said to be agreed
upon for payment fof the stocks. The quo
tation In the market continued widely dif
ferent from the alleged terms, and the pub
lic at large was much at a loan to form ac
curate conclusions ss to the probable final
outcome of the whole affair.
Activity reverted very largely to the rail
road list and the high grade of the stocks
most prominent In the trading helped to
reassure sentiment dlsturled by yesterday's
sensational fluctuations. New York Central
was a leading feature and its advance of
over 7 points was made on much larger
transactions than are upual In that stock.
The principal operations were attributed lo
the same sources an the recent campaign
In Ontario Western. This led to a revival
of a former rumor that (he recently ac
quired control bv the New York. New
Haven Hartford of Ontario & Western
was to he transferred to or shared by the
New York Central. The movement in other
eastern railroud stocks was largely sympa
thetic. I'nlon Pacific recovered vigorously
from Its raiher sharp break of late yester
day to a record price at 13i, and this was
another sympathetic influence of wide ef
fect In the market. Illinois Central was
the lender In the southern gronp. The buy
ing of the stock had no other explanation
than general consideration of Its relative
price level. Amalgamated Copper sc-emed
to be helped by the extra dividend declared
yesterday on the stock of nn Important
Independent copper company. The Wabash
system reported net earnings for January
which showed a falling off of considerably
over 50 per cent from those of January
for the preceding yeur. but Its preferred
stock was not debarred from a share in the
day's strength.
The Oould group was helped by the very
large over-subscription for the 1:6.000.000 of
Missouri Pacific bonds which were offered
today. The subscriptions received were re
ported by the bunkers to he over eight
times the amount of the- bonds. This evi
dence, which is corroborative of many oth
ers of the abundance of capital seeking In
vestments, marks the renl sustaining factor
In the present extraordinury market. The
unmistakably firmer lone of the money
market todav seems to be attributable to
credit requirements of this kind rather
than to any decline In bunk reserves, as
the domestic money movement seems to
have shifted again In favor of New York
for the week, the net gnln in cash appar
ently amounting to over $1.oo0,000 from all
sources. The upward movement spread rap
Idly towards the last and the market
gained greatly In animation with the late,
outburst In New York Central and Union
Pacific, which carried prices generally with
them to n buoyant closing.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, $5,313,000. I'nlted States bonds were
all unchanged on call.

CATTLE There was Jusi.a fair, run here
todav for a Friday, and as all Ihe packers
seemed to be anxious for supplies the mar
ket ruled active with prices strong on all
desirable grade. Buyers started out in
good season and it was not long before a
clearance was made.
In the case of beef steers there wsa noth
ing choice -on sale, but still buyer took
hold with considerable life and the msrket
could safely -he- rpioted strong an active.
Even .the imramni cattle sold without a.
great deal of difficulty at fully as good
prices as were paid yesterday. The light
receipts th last few days have caused
price to advance quite rapidly, so that sll
of the decline the early part of th week
has been regained and the more desirable
grades can probably be quoted around a
dime higher than they were a week ago.
Th cow market was also quite lively this
morning, with prices strong rather than
otherwise. Buyer went uround in good
season and It was not long before prac
tically everything In sight, with the excep
tion of a few late arrivals, was out of first
hands. As compared with the close of last
week the market can safely be .quoted
strong to a dime higher, the decline of the
earlv part of the week having been more
then regained.
There was no quotable rhange In th mar
ket on stocker and feeders today, ss there
were not enough to make a market. The
demand from the country has Improved
wonderfully the lnat two or three days and
speculators have sold out practically all the
cattle they have on hand, both light and
heavy. The market on all grades can he
quoted a little stronger than It was a week
ago. Representative salest

8HE.EP -There were just a few bunches
of sheep on dale this morning, but the mar
ket was rather slow snd mostly a dime
lower. Some of the more desirable grsdes
may not have sold quite that much lower,
but as a general thing salesmen had to take
off about a dime before thev could dispose
of Ihelr holdings. The quality or the offer
ings was rather Inferior the same as has
been the ease of late, so the sales on psper
do not look particularly good.
The big bulk of the offerings consisted of
lambs and the market was extremely dull.
None of the packers seemed to want fresh
supplies and gave aa the reason that there
have been entirely too many half-fat kinds
on ssle at all points. It seem that the
high prices have caused feeder to ship a
good many lamhs that were not finished,
with the result that packers are filled up on
that kind, nnd ss practically all the lambs
that were offered todav could not he classed
better than fair the market wa extremely
dull and It was almost impossible to make
n mile at anv price. As compared with a
week ago the lamb market Is right around
25'rf40o lower than a week ago.
