they were at that time last year. Tha
Minneapolis total wheat stock are 12.630,
t47 bushel, with decrease tor the week
pf J70.4I busheis. and tor today of ,uW
bushel. Th Australian wheat shipment
this week have fallen off, being l.Ott.ow
bushel, against 2,040,000 bushels for the
preceding week. Broomhall estimated the
ona s snipmnnts for the week at about
10.lHJO.OuO bushels of whnit. all of which
went to Europe. Tha primary receipts are
644,000 bushelu, against 6T6.0UU bushels last
year, ana tun shipment are 102.000 bush
els, sgalnsfLVI.OOO bushels last year. The
speculative market was dull with a limited
iraae. me May opened at II. 14 and
dragged down to 11.18. which waa Ho lower
than, the worst of Friday. Liverpool
cloeed unchanged, Pari declined 6 to 16
centimes. Berlin closed with a gain of lie
ra nuns rrnn went up ie.
Tha corn market did not do so well
today, although the corn bull predict sn
advance In sixty days to 66 cents. Tho
May corn at high Friday reached 47T4c and
opened today at 40. It Advanced to 4e,
but from there gradually declined and
closed at the low point. 47Uc. Liverpool,
on the other hand, closed wlih an advance
of c. The government report March lu
may show whether or not the corn bull
are right In their position that the corn
reserves In formers' hands are Hot as
large as formerly supposed. Much talk Is
heard lately about the email reserve. The
ease with which the market seems to ad
vsnce Is explained by some commission
houses that there are now no hedging
sales. In usual years, they aay, there are
from 40,000,000 to 60,000,000 bushels of My
sold against corn In cribs. This Is not so
now, tney prores to neneve, ana tor tnat
eason me market i nuoyant ana responds
to any buying pressure. The commission
houses are advlslna their customers to
i rade In corn because It I free from mani
pulation, while wheat la too much In tha
hands of on combination. Th primary
receipts Of corn ate 9411.000 bushels, against
610,000 bushels, and the shipments 27t.ooo
bushels, against 1(04,000 bushel. The corn
clearance are tM,000 bushels.
Peoplo are discovering something doing
In rye.. A milling demand for the rye ha
sprung tip which has advanced the price So
In two weeks. The stock In the country I
said to be very low and mainly In tha
visible supply. This Is 1,770,001) bushels,
agaJnst l.ovH.otO bushels last year. Chicago
has no stocks in private houses and during
the week 32,000 bushels were withdrawn
from public houaes for shipment. In Chi
cago and Buffalo the stocks amount to
1,042,000 bushels.

Weakness In the wheat market was In
evidence from the start. ImDroved weather
conditions In ths northwest resulted In sn
Increased movement from the farms. This
raci inaucea oonrtaerabie selling ty com
mission houses aid put trader. Initial
tradings on May were off c to c. July
was a shad to 4Vc lower. For a time
tne market receive some support irom
streneth in corn. WhAn. however, the price
of the yellow cereal began to decline under
th weight of realising sales the wheat
market followed downward. After touch
Ing U1i1.l8 for May and $1.02 for July
prices eased off gradually. There was lit
tle snsp to the market. Trading was small
In volume. Proscects of a liberal Increase
In worlds shipments and In the amount
or passage neiped to create oeansn senti
ment. For May th lowest point of the
cession was reached at $1.1$. July sold off
to $1.014'61.01H- Tha market closed weak,
with May at $1 14. Final quotation In
July were at $1. OiVfffl. 01. Clearances of
wheat and flour were equal to 2XS.5oO bush
els. Primary receipts were 601,600 bushels.
compared with 567.000 busneis a year ago.
MlnneaDolls. Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts of 898 cars, against 288 cars last
week and $21 cars a year ago.
Profit taking on a liberal scale was
responeiDie lor a moaeraie seioaca in mo
nrlce of corn. A nromlnent commission
house was the principal seller. Advices
to receiving houses reported free loadings
at country points, tnus torecasting nnerai
arrivals next week. Tha possibility of an
Increased movement had considerable In
fluence on trading. The market opened
quite firm as a result of moderate receipts
and higher cables, but sentiment soon be
came bearish. As ths seaalon advanced
prices gradually eased off. May opened
unchanged to c higher, at 47c to 48c,
sold between 47 'to and 48c and closed at
47c. Local receipts wer $u& car, with
S3 of contract grade.
Weakness of corn and heavy selling by
cash houses. Indicating larger arrivals,
caused an easier feeling In the oats mar
ket. Commission houses were lsrge sellers.
Local receipts sbnorbed most of th sell
ing. The volume of trading, however, was
small. May opened a shade to 4c higher,
at 1C to Jl31c, sold between 21&31o
and closed at 31 c. Local receipts were
160 cars.
Selling of pork by commission houses
was the feature of tracing In provisions.
Lard and ribs were In fair demand. Smaller
receipts of live hogs than expected had
a buoyant effect on the general market.
Mny pork closed with a loss -of 2c, at
$12.(12. Lard was up fwr7c, at $6.92. Ribs
were up 2c, at J.70r.72.

NEW YORK, Feb. 28 -The stock market
was thrown Into excitement again today
by the violent speculation In the trunk
lines and Pacific railroad stocks and there
was a full revival of the speculative en
thusiasm of the earlier part of the week,
which was chilled by the break of Thurs
day consequent upon the feverish move
ment of the southern Iron stocks.
A glance at today's sale list will dis
close how highly congested were the opera
tions In the few speculative leaders of the
day. and a study of the day's net changes
reveals that emotional phase of the trad
ing waa not so overwhelming a to pre
clude a thrifty disposition to take profits
on a very large scale In numerous stocks.
While the advantage offered of tha sustain
ing effect of the dominant movement. Ru
mors and intimations have circulated for
many week In Wall street that the con
trol of New York Central. Chicago k
Northwestern and Union Pacific wa being
worked out to a condition of perfect har
mony, If not of Identity. The belief In
the substantial basis for the Central proj
ect pointed to by this cloud of rumor was
the professed basts for the excited buying
today 01 the stocks concerned. The new
variation of th story was the Inclusion of
Pennsylvania In the benefits of the project
by an agreement with the New York Cen
tral for a division of spheres of opera
tion. It will be seen that In Its general
lines this report follows existing relations
amongst the properties concerned. The
consequence of the movement was a price
during today's trading of 180 for New
I org central, 144? for Pennsylvania, 1377
for Union Pacific and 249 for Chicago &
Northwestern. There are aaina elsewhere
In tbe list, reaching a point In some cases,
but there are also small declines as the
result of the heavy realising of the dav
and Union Pacific Itself closed unchanged
iroin last nignt.
The bank statement wsa remarried as
favorable and rallied the market from Its
considerable reaction, but the closing was
Irregular. The decrease in the loan Item
of the banks Is attributed to the tuktria-
over of loans by the trust companies and to
transreTs oue to tne leading of foreign
banking houses. The artim! vnlum nt
Credits has exnanded litlnuat1nnn.Mv Aurm

tions in ine oona market. Total sales of

of laat year there has been a falling off of
about 7,000 neaa.
The market on beef steers lias been very
Irregular this week, prices fluctuating up
and down at a rapid rate. The early part
of the week supplies were quite liberal
and packers pounded the market In bad
shape, claiming they were not In position
to handle the cattle owing to a shortang

plies moderated very materially and a. tna
am, time there was an Increase In tne
number ot refrigerator cars available, so
that the market Improved about as rapidly
it hrnke the first two day. Closing
prices can safely be quoted fully as good
as those Jn force at the close of last week
and a good many operators were calling the
market on anything at all desirable about
a dims higher tor the week. Good to
chole grades may be quoted from KM to
$6.40, fair to good $4.25 to $4. 16 and the
common and ahort-fed kinds from 4
down. . . . ,w.

earn course as the trade on steers that
Is, prices declined sharply the early
part of the week and recovered the
loss the latter part, so that the mar
ket at the close of the week Is fully as
good as at the close of the last week and
soma of the better grades may be a trifle
Stronger. Trading has been active 011 all
grades since Tueiday and early clearances

Bulls hav not changed much, prices be
ing a trifle lower early In the week, but
the loss has since been regslned. Choice
grades sell from $3.00 to $3.50 and commoner
kinds down to $2 26. Veal calves are In
r;ood demand and higher, the best ones sell
n up to $8.00.
There have not been many stockers and
feeders on sale this week and the demand
has shown considerable Improvement ever
what It was during th cold weather. Ths
Imnrovement has been particularly notice
able In the demand for lieht cattle of sat
isfactory quality. That class of stuff and
also good heavy cattle may be nuoted a
little tronger for th week, but there ha
not been much change In the common cat
tle of any welsht. Good to choice trades

HOGS There was a light run here this
morning, In fact, smaller than generally
eapeotad. Chicago did not show much Im
provement, but tna demand at this point
from both packers and shippers was in
good shape and as a result the market
ruled active and 6l0c higher. buyer
War all out in good season and it was not
long before the early arrivals were dis
posed of. Soma of the trains were a Unit
late In arriving, but still everything was
disposed or oy ine miuuie or tne rorenoon,
and the late sales were fully aa good aa
those made eerly In the day. The light
weights sold largely from $4.74 down, tm tell
ers and mixed hogs from 84.70 to $4.76 end
heavies largely from $4.75 to $4.80, with
prime heavies as high as $4.90. The top in
Chicago was only $4.97 and the bulk prac
tically the same as at this point, so that It
may be said that local packers are paying
nearly Chicago prices for their droves.
For th week receipt have been more
than twice ss large aa the light supply of
last week, but as compared with the cor
responding week of last year there Is but
little change. Prices have fluctuated up
and down to quite an extent, but at the
close of the week then Is a net gain over
the close of laat weak of about 6 to 10
cents. Representative sales:
