CHICAGO PIIODUCK MARKET.
CmrAfio , Feb. 4. [ Special Telegram to the
Br.r. . ] Local traders in wheat had appar
ently como to the conclusion over night that
there was nothing of consequence in yester
day's war scare and before the market
opened there were Indications of weakness.
The first sales of May wheat were at S2c , but
all the commission houses appeared to have
buying orders and the price soon ran up to
82Xi * . H was evident that the "country"
wanted some of the advantages to bo gained
by a foreign war nnd were buying a little
wheat to start on. There was good buying
for foreign account and for Now York.
Against all this buying stood "Old Hutch , "
who had almost unlimited quantities
for sale. Ho not only stopped the
advance , but turned the market again almost
to the starting point. But the buying con
tinued and the weakness was only temper
ary. Tlio market was strong enough to take
nil the offerings nnd the advance with them.
The highest iKilnt'wus S2 ( aS2 > c nnd this
wns followed by a drop to 82 ? < V , the
closing price being 82Ve. March wheat
ojioned at 7iJc und closed nominally at 70.JjJe.
A further drop of 4 points in consols follow
ing that of yesterday , a decline of 42U'cen
times in French rentes and private advices
of weakness in Russian securities tended to
confirm the warlike rcix > rls received yester
day and to discourage short selling , although
there were not wanting cables advising that
there was nothing in the war scare.
There was very little interest taken in the
speculative corn market and tr.ido xvns light ,
liutchinson was selling corn , as ho was
nearlv cvcrything-clso on the lloor , but what
ho offered was taken without affecting tlio
market. The cntiro range of prices wits
only } 4 < iila. May corn opened , at tf2)f@ )
f 2Xe , sold nt 5'ijfo and 52Jrt ( > 53e , closing ut
Kljjf. March corn sold at 48'fe. ;
There was a fair speculative trade in onts ,
entirely in the Mav delivery , but there were
only two prices 33e. and ! 52 > ( tf33o. The llrst
named price was bid at the close last night
nnd was naked at the close to-day. Hutchinson -
son wits a seller of outs , but ono commission
House bought quite us much us ho sold.
In provisions trading was largely of the
Saturday order. Outside orders of all de
scriptions were limited and with lloor traders
there was no particular disposition to do
mrro than setlle , cover or provide for some
contract they were disinclined to have remain -
main open or unprotected. The new busi
ness transacted during the day was
restricted and without sixcinl feature. In
the general market , however , the feeling was
quite strong , though under comparatively
free offerings of lard and short ribs by late
speculative buyers prices averapcd a little
easier. Still nt the adjournment of 'change
pork was only 2J c und lard and short ribs
2k"i. ( ! > e lower than last night's llnal quota
tions. May , as usual , was the pivotal delivery -
livery in tlio business transacted. It sold for
IKirk at $14.47i@l 1.55. for lard at S7.87V ®
7.05 and for short ribs at $7.7.V 7.77K. For
May pork closed nt $14.52)4' , hml "I $7.87 bid
und sliprt ribs at * 7.75.

Texaus were sold out nt an early hour. The
general market closed steady. Many sales
men aro. of the opinion that fat , not half-fat.
cattle will soil higher next week. "Look at
the situation , " said a level-headed salesman.
"Out of an aggregate of about forty-live
thousand cuttle not over S,000 have been
really fat and of line quality. Corn
Is scarce and high , while snow is
plenty and cheap and a largo majority of
the cattle coming to market seem to have
been fed on the latter. The demand for
prime cattle is good , nnd the few who have
the nerve to fatten their cattle well , even at
the present high prices of corn , may obtain
prices for them that will pay well for all cost
and labor. Last Saturday's market was lower
than Friday's and Monday the general mar-
Ice t declined sharply on very heavy re
ceipts. Since then then there has been a
general recovery and the market closes
to-day at substantially the same quotations

"Wall street has them and con , keep them ;

The receipts of cattle were light but there
was some very line s.tock among the offerings ,
there being six loads of pritnecorn-fcd native
steers for which $4. 115 was bid and refused ,
and they were shlpiwd to Clucngo. Huyers
on this market have for some time com
plained of the Inferior grades of cattle offered
and when llrst-elass stock is offered they de
cline to pay decent prices. If good fat cattle
are desired this | tolley will have to bo
changed. Prices on the other grades were
steady , but owing to the limited demand but
few head were sold.
The receipts were light and the quality
about tlio same as for some days past. The

No change in prices on groceries was noted
o-duy.
Spirits advanced a trifle to-day.
Produce Is quiet.
Mr. Roger Henly , of St. Joseph , Mo. , has
accepted u position with Pnxton , Gallagher
&Co.
Dudley Smith , formerly connected with
ho Wyelh Hardware company of St. Joseph ,
do. , bos assumed the management of the
vholesalo grocery house of D. M. Steele ft
Co. , of this city.
Rates ou heavy hardware uro unchanged.
Prices on drugs , paints nnd oils uro the
sumo as at the beginning of tlio week.
Tlio Week's
While the week Just ended has been
: nnrked with no very important events iu
rado circles and no changes in prices have
occurred beyond the usual slight fluctuations ,
, hero has been a very marked increase in the
volume of business done ns shown by reports
from leading jobbers in the city. Dry goods
neil are busy taking orders for early spring
delivery witli marked success , ono llrm re-
wrtiug an increase of nearly 8 per cent
during the past six days. Groceries are
moving some better than heretofore and
country merchants are already beginning to
replenish thuir stocks preparatory to the
opening of the spring season. Tlio feeling
among wholesale men who are dealers in
this line concerning the outlook is one of
confidence , nnd great results are anticipated
this season. Heavy hardware is picking up
and trade is quite brisk for this time of the
year. Agricultural implement dealers are
now preparing to 1111 orders which are
already being received , and there is no good
reason to doubt that there will bo a good bus
iness done in this line. Tlio population of
the state has been greatly increased during
tlio pas > t year by thrifty immigrants , who
have taken up or purchased farms , and , hav
ing completed the preliminary arrangements ,
are now ready to begin work in good earnest
and reipilro plows , harrows , etc. , in order to
enable thorn to do so. Boot and shoo men
report a good business , especially in the. line
of rubber goods , one llrm stating that the
sales in this line during the winter have ex
ceeded those of last by at least
15 per cent. Orders for spring
business seems to bo on the increase and
prices on u few lines are becoming slightly
llnnor. General merchandise is practically
intlio same condition as It was at the close of
the preceding week. Lumber , which has
been quiet for some time , is , however , begin
ning to move u little moro freely nnd country
orders nro beginning to bo received. Dealers
are replenishing their stocks in anticipation
of un immense trade season , it being gen
crallv understood that the building record of
18SS will bo equal if not greater than that of
1887. Coal continues steady at former prices ,
although some slight changes may bo antici
pated soon. Spirits remain steady at the ad
vance noted last week , but another change is
looked for soon. Leather , nliles and furs arc
much the same as before as regards rates , but
business is more brisk.

CntCAoo , Feb. 4. [ Special Telegram to
the Hr.r. . ] Locnl tlnnnchil affairs rouiiitn In
about tlio same condition as noted during tlio
past two or thrco weeks. There Is no par
ticular demand from any source for dis
counts , yet bankers ex | < erlcnro Httlo dlfll-
cully hi placing all their available funds.
They hnvo lonncil considerable money ex
tending Jute tlio spring months , coimoquontlv
thuy liuvo not as much iviuly money nt com-
luiuul as tliey hiul some thno ago. Aa a.nilo
bankers heretofore hnvo hud an urgent de
mand for money during the winter season , as
grain usually accumulated nt the largo ship-
plug centers nnd packers wore liberal bor
rowers , but the present season Is an exeep-
tlon. G r.iln Is being hold ut the smaller Interior
points and packers have not boon favored
with their usual supply of hogs , thoruforo
the demand for money on behalf of these In
terests has been somewhat limited , and
bankers have. encouraged borrowers In other
branches of trade. Inquiry for discount * on
behalf of operators In grain and provision ! *
has been limited , ns speculator's apparently
uro not trading beyond tholr prlvnto moans.
Some money Is being forwarded to Interior
iwlnts , but not much In excels of the i-ollcc-
ions. Itceont storms have interfered greatly
, vith business of all kinds , and shippers are
icglunlng to move produce again from smaller
whits. Merehiints hi the wholesale trade
resented considerable paper for discount ,
omo In the way of renewal , owing to back-
ivnrdnesH In collections in some sections.
{ atesof interest were steady , and unchanged ,
mil good names and choice collaterals are
'oadlly ' accepted at 0 per cent on call or time ,
\thile small loans to parties not regular cus
tomers of the banks , command tl ) ® " per
cent. Outside loans command 7 per cent.
Ucports from eastern llnancial centers' In-
iliciito ii little more easiness In the money
market , but no particular ohangu to note In
ntcrest rates. Prime mercantile paper com-
nuiids 5@7 per cent. Advices from ubroud
lire also more favoniblo to the borrowing
nterest. Money Is apparently plenty nuil
rates of interest low. New \ork exchange
, vas In fair supply durlne tlio past week and
, ho demand \vas moduratcly active , Suloa ,
between bunks were made at 25 ( < Tf > Oc pre-
nluni per $1,000 , and the market closed
steady nt 25e. Foreign exchange WHS in
light request during the past week and offer-
tigs wore fair. The market was wealc nnd
ales were made at lower llgures. Shippers
sixty days documentary bills on London
elmngcd hands at $4.J > 2JiiiJ4.82 ( f and closed
steady at $4.82Jflci4.b2 .
Stocks In Now York were Inclined to mild
ness during the weak Just closed , and the
market was week. Trading was confined
argoly to Wall street operators , the out ldo
.mblio apparently taking little interest In
stocks. Uoportsof the earnings of lending
railroads are loss favorably than so mo time
ago , which may bo attributed to sevcro
storms and the competition In freight rates
In most flections , particularly in the west.
Foreign operators were less anxious to take
hold nnd in most cases were on the ( tolling
side of the market. Prices ruled somewhat
.rrcgular , and for the principal stocks a re
duction was submitted to. Western stocks
wore the weakest. Aggregate sales on the
Now York stock exchange for the weak wore
020.000 shares.
Trading has shown a little more llfo In pro
duce circles during the past week , but chiefly
in n speculative way. Dally changes In
prices wore slight nnd fluctuations for the
week were eon lined within n narrow range.
Recently of gram nnd live stock
have been increased boniowhat. ns the rnil-
roads in seine sections of the west hnvo been
reopened and the snow blockade removed ,
but are still moderate for the season of the
year. Shipments to eastern markets hnvo
been only fair , ns buyers of grain have been
watching the unsettled feeling In freights
nnd anxiously looking for a reduction. Con-
'cssious ' in export rates have encouraged an
increase in the movement of Hour , grain nnd
revisions to foreign marts , but the aggre
ate is still light. Advices from foreign
markets have been unfavorable to holders of
grain , as supplies are liberal nnd buyers
backward about purchasing nt present prices.
Tlio bamo is true of hog products with the
exception of lard.
Tlio markets during the week hnvo shown (1 (
considerable nervousness nnd changes in ;
prices were made on slight Influences. Grain ' 1
exhibits n little strength curly in the week ,
but outside prices were not supported. Pro
visions were easy early , owing to the largo
receipts of hogs , but rallied later on the re
port of stocks on hand. Speculative trading
centers dealt almost exclusively in May de
livery , trading in the near futures being re
stricted to parties desiring to oven up tholr
trades or to transfer them ahead. Trading
beyond May is gradually extending. Dome
stic markets lir.vo not given holders much
encouragement , and trade in all the leading
cities is reported dull. Merchants confid
ently look for improved business after the
close of the present month , or os soon us
farmers in the west nnd southwest can com
mence tholr spring work. ,
The packing of the west Is progressing
favorably , though the aggregate is still con
siderably below the returns of last season to
date.
