CHICAGO , Feb. 27. Wheat recovered Its
tmllhdi tone today nnd scored % o advance.
Kalr buying , on reported decrease In the
Kngllsh visible supply nnd heller clearances
caused the advance. A llttlo Belling near
the close caused n slight rcacllon , hut May
closed only % c from Iho lop. Corn , oats
nnd provisions were firm , hut dull. The
gain In corn Is Uo and In oats nhout the
name. May pork Is lOc nnd rlhs 7 > ,4c higher
Iard Is without change compared with yes-
terdny'H close.
Wheat In the first few minutes of the scs-
Blori was extremely unkind ( o the shorts.
Yesterday they put wheat to the other parly
at 59c to C3' ' , < .o nnd before twenty minutes
of lod.iy's session had passed they were
paying GO-ftc to get it hack. The principal
reaaon for the advance was the revelation
mode by the returns of Iho small quantity
of wheat and Hour put ulloat lasl week from
the other coiinlrlcs , exclusive of the
Vnlled Stales and Canada , which export Ihc
commodities. Including these three great
bogles of Iho American wheat Irado. Ar-
Konllno , Htipsla and Indln , Ihe total of the
week's contributions to the requirements of
the Importing countries was only 2,080 bu.
To this amount India contributed nothing.
The Chicago receipts were -12 cars ; Minneap
olis reported 119 curs und Duluth 170 cars.
A year ago Chicago gel 327 cars ,
Minneapolis 10 ! ) , and Diiluth ID
The Liverpool market was quoted easy
nt unchanged prices and the French country
markets ( Inner. The Kngllsh visible supply
was calculated to have decreased 1,2D,000 ( !
bu. last week. The Atlantic clearances , us
the figures en mo lo hand , were giving
promise of a liberal total nnd with that
further encouragement , the prlco of May
wheat rose to G04c ! , or from 9ic to % c nd-
vance over the opening quotation of today
nnd the closing figures of the previous day.
The export clearances of wheat ami Hour
from the four principal Atlantic ports and
Now Orleans amounted to about 420,000 bu.
Closing cables were without any marked
change. The northwestern markets w ro
strong and reported an urgent demand for
cash wheat. Now York had to be propped
up by Iho weslcrn markcls or 11 would ap
parently have tumbled to the ground. The
market hero was very sensitive nnd nervous ,
with many sudden changes within the range
of C0'/4c nnd GDc for May. The bulls were
Inclined to cell out at the higher of those
two prices for a lime , but gained more
courage later when the small breaks we're
seen to bo easily recovered from. After sellIng -
Ing nt C0'4c more than once , thu market
closed with sellers at D9c.
Corn was dull nil day , very llltlo Interest
or activity being displayed nnd operations
confined to room traders within % c range.
A trifle better feeling was developed toward
the close. Opening trades for May wore Vic
lower than yesterday. I'rlces then advanced
% c nnd May closed nt the top.
In oats thcro was a fair trade and a
Bllshtly easier feeling early , but the offerings
were well taken and a firmer feeling devel
oped on Iho strcnglh In wheat , which
carried prices up from Vic lo % c for May ,
the close being nbout at the top. July was
quiet and from > , &c to Uc higher.
Provisions opened lower on larger receipts
of llvo hogs than estimated nnd lower prices
for tomorrow. There was an apparent dis
position on the part of the local crowd to
depress prices , mil good support by a promi
nent broker and a leading packing instilu-
tlon and some covering by shorls not only
provenlcd a break but had the effect of ad
vancing values to yeslcrday's Ilnal figures.
The volume of Iradlng , however , was slight ,
owing lo an absence of offerings. There was
scarcely anything doing during the balance
of Ihe session from the same cause. As a
result prices Improved to n limited extent.
Wheat was firmer , and that helped to sus
tain the market lo Iho close , which was at
oulsUlo figures , except lard. May pork Is lOe
higher. May lard unchanged and Jlay ribs
7'/4c higher.
Estimator ! receipts for tomorrow : Wheat ,
28 cars ; corn , 293 cars ; oals , 130 cars ; hogs ,
SO.OOO head.

STOCKS AND IIO.NDS.
Whllo ISiiKlneMS Was Xot Very Largo There
AVcro Indications of Improvement.
NEW YORK , Feb. 27. While the volume
of business on the Stock exchange today was
not very large , there was on approach to Im
provement In dealings and an absence of
bear sentiment , which had a healthful effect
upon the market. Among the causes which
led up to this result , the most prominent
was the decision rendered In the United
States court at Chicago regarding the'rall-
road men and the Interstate 'commerce law.
The point made Is that under such a ruling
the Interstate comnierco act Is to bo regarded
as a dead letter , and a conclusion is drawn
that this state of affairs is beneficial to the
railroads. Consequently the shorts were In
a mood to cover today , and their purchases ,
supplemented by buying by the room traders ,
went to make a rising market , which did
not meet with serious antagonism on the
part of the bears. The news from Washing
ton was favorable to the Sugar Interest and
all those shares wore benefited thereby.
It was rumored that a heavy bear operator
was engaged In a covering movement , pre
paratory to leaving town , and this , too ,
helped tie ) bull side of the market. The day
was singularly free from reports calculated
to depress the speculative mind and the gen
eral trend of prices throughout the day was
In the direction of higher figures. At the
opening of business prices were Irregular on
slight changes , but the market quickly took
an upward turn and under the leadership of
Sugar , St. Paul , Burlington and General Elec
tric the general list , with n. few exceptions ,
recorded a material advance. During the
morning occasional reactions occurred In the
general list. The net result of the fluctua
tion was the establishment of higher figures
nnd the market fell Into line with a de
cided strong tone. Prices did not change
materially and at half past 1 o'clock were
firmly held , but at that'hour , under the lead
of Sugar , n fractional reaction occurred. The
depression was of brief duration and during
the last hour the market was strong , closing"
at or near the best of the day , with prices
14@1 % per cent above the closing sales of
Monday. The railway and miscellaneous
bond market was firm during the entire day
and closed strong.
The I'ost says : In Eoma degree , at least ,
today's sharp advance In railroad securities
was duo to Judge Grosscup's decision In the
the United States district court at Chicago.
Railroad men have leaped quickly to the In
ference that such a decision , If confirmed by
the hlghc&t court , would render the Inter
state law to all Intents and purposes Inoper
ative. Coming on top of yesterday's rela
tively good January statements for the In
terior railroads the Incident had rather n
marked Influence on prices. The granger
stocks especially advanced nt once , St. Paul
nnd Ilurllngton moving up n polnta pleco.
The advance In prices continued to the mar
ket's close.

WHY OIL STILLS THE WAVES.
The Wind Passes Alonjy the Oily Surface
with Iteduced 1'ower.
A great deal has been written about the
Influence of oil on waves at sea , and of the
practically useful action of oil In many
cases there Is abundant testimony , says the
Chicago Herald , but llttlo has been heard
of the reason for the results obtained. W. J.
Millar has found , from experiments made In
shallow , broken water on the coast , where
the wind and tldo conflicted , that little or no
advantage can be traced from the use of oil
under such conditions ; that Is to say , the
wave motion being disturbed and under
forces not wholly those of wind action , the
oily film becomes broken up. In deep water ,
however , where the waves may bo consid
ered as wholly formed by the wind , their
forms are more regular , and It Is In such
circumstances that the recorded examples
show to the best effect. These effects sug
gest the real action of the oil. According
to some theories the oil acts as It does
when applied to bearings In machinery ,
and thus thu wind glides nioro easily over
tho' oiled surface than it does over the
water surface. It Is difficult to see , how
ever , that the frlctlonal resistance between
air and oil should bo loss than between air
and water , as the oil IH n less mobllo fluid
than the water. Again , when we consider
the surface tension of fluids , and can often
observe their restraining action on ascend
ing air bubbles or small floating objects In
glasses of water , wo might suppose that by
the addition of the film of oil sulllclent re
sistance was offered to the uprise of the
upper part of the wave , and thus the ten
dency to break would bo restrained , Mr.
Millar comes to the conclusion that the
action of the film , of oil Is ono of Repara
tion. His view lH-that when wo consider
the tendency of jilr to become saturated
with watery vapor duo to evaporation and
of water to retain air by absorption , wo
may readily conceive that the Impact of air
on u watery mirfnco will tend to cause a
commingling at dim surface of air and water ,
which will thus offer pufllclent resistance to
the motion of the > w jd to throw the water
and mixture Into nil nndulatory movement ,
and , therefore , whpn this forward movement
has exceeded thu vpeqd due to the periodic
motion In the wavu Itself , the upper part In
falling forward frptn Uio effects of the push
of air from behind , jihqwH a foaming rush of
broken water ; that Is , the air Incorporated
with the water and the water Itself. Argu
ing on this basis MK Millar sees no dllllculty
In accepting the theory that the film of oil
spread over the surface of thu water effectu
ally prevents the formation of broken water ;
as thu air and water 'uru kept separate the
tendency to mutual absorption at the sur
face Is chocked and thu wind passes along
the oily surface with reduced power of wave
making.

Five years ago , It Is said , nil the berths
on sleepers were made up with the .feet
to the engine , unless It was ordered to the
contrary. But now , on most Jlncs , the prac
tice Is reversed. No reason has been given
for this save ono , that on on elevator no ono
objects to going up , though a descent Is
often disagreeable. There In the additional
reason that whatever draught Is created Is
more agreeable If it comes from behind the
head than It It blows In the face.

TUKSDAV , Feb. 27.
Receipts of all kinds ot Block continue
liberal. The two days supply shows a
slight decrease In cattle and shpop as com
pared with the first two days of last week ,
and a very considerable Increase In hog sup
plies.
Considering the demoralized condition of
the cattle market last week and the low
prices that prevailed , the frco marketing of
stock BO early this week Is .somewhat sur-
Pflslng. It looks as If cattlemen had become
disgusted , had quit hoping for a hotter
market nnd had made up their minds to
unload regardless of prices nnd quit the
buslnccs until It Is In bettter shape. This
apparent unanimity on the part of ealtlo
feeders only results In still heavier receipts ,
worse glutted markets and still further de
moralization. This was the situation today.
The supply was mndo up largely of the less
desirable light and medium grades of cattle.
Heef steers , on which both shippers and
slaughterers would bid , that Is , the cattle
with a very fair demand at steady prices ,
but on all other grades the market was weak
nnd unevenly lower. Sellers have begun to
get used to the very low prices , and the
movement was moderately brisk , nearly
everything of any consequence having been
disposed of by noon. *
There was not much change In the cow
market. If anything prices were n shade
tinner than on Monday. The supplly did not
Include over thirty loads all told and buyers
made short work of them. Veal calves were
In active demand at somewhat firmer prlcns
and the market for rough stock of all kinds
was good and strong.
There was nothing new In the stacker nnd
feeder trade. Regular yard traders did most
of the business , paj'ing fully steady prices
for the fresh offerings , but reporting a
dearth of country orders. Good to choice
feeders are quoted at $3.003.20 ; fair to gooJ ,
. "BltM.OO , and lighter , commoner grades nt
from $2.75 down. Representative sales :
DRESSED HIIF. :
HOGS The supply was just nuout up to
last Tuesday's heavy run nnd there was
llttlo noteworthy clmngo 'In ' the general
quality of the offerings. Everything fav
ored n lower market , hut as there was an
active demand from local houses and more
Inquiry from shippers and speculators than
there has been for months , sellers were not
Inclined to give up without n BtruKRle , so
that when buyers started In hlddltiK $4.71
nnd $1.75 , they got very few hogs. Weight
was not so much of a consideration aa
quality , although the demand was hcst for
the light and butcher grades. The market
Dually settled down to a Co decllno und
trading was largely at $1.75 and $4.SO. All
classes of buyer ! ! bought freely and the mar
ket llrmed up sharply toward the close ,
late sales being at 11.80 and $4.S" , mostly

protested to the socrelary of the treasury
nsalnst this yearly t-xpoiHo of flO.OOO bolus
taken from their already Insulllclcnt appro

from a practical point of view was useless
It should be discontinued. U was then that
a number of the p.itrlalh ; societies of New
York proposed to relieve .the government
from this expense anil asked that they ho
Klvcn control of the statno on condition that
they maintain the Hunt. This will likely
soon bo done. It Is said by persons that are
In a position to know that already the
statue shows alarming signs of dissolution.
The thin venrer of copper of which the
statue Is made In rusted through In many
places , o that mio c.in readily sen to asccnil
the stairs without ho aid of artificial light.
In order to preserve the statue anil arrest
the ravages of rust , the lighthouse board
has been compelled to paint I he statue and
as this has detracted somewhat from Its ap- "
pearaneo the result has becon unsatisfactory.
It Is not believed that even with the excellent -
lent care the lighthouse board has bestowed
upon the statue ! t can be expected to last
more than ten or fifteen years longer. The
society which seeks to relieve the govern
ment of the expense of maintaining thn
lights now runs a ferry to Dedloo's Island
and has already accumulated about JGO.OOO
which It is willing to expend In repairing
the electric light plant , which Is nearly worn
out , and In maintaining the light Indefinitely.
