CHICAQO , Fob. 14Tho Hcklencss dls-
jilaycd by wheat today would mnkc even
St. Va1cntln9 envious. Opening lower , which
was the first sun'rl * ; , It rapidly advanced
nnd held strong until neat the close , when
It wont down , closing nt/f low of % c since
yesterday , nftcr having been nearly Ic
above that price. Com and oats were more
consistent ) a.nd closed practically unchanged ,
ns did nlsb'provisions. . '
In wheat there was a moderate specula
tive trade , the marltet ruling rathef spasmodic
medic , the range for the day being lUc.
The tone nt the start wns weak , nnd In
itial trades showed from He to Vic and 'HiC '
loss , but a good demand prevailed shortly
afterward nnd prices gradually sold up
l < jc , The easy opening was attributable
to some extent to the weaker-cables , Liver
pool coming V4d lower nnd then the cold
wave predicted yesterday failed to ma
terialize , the weather on the contrary , be
ing mild and favorable , nnd no doubt cut
something of a figure with the action at
the start. The market rallied on buying by
prominent houses nnd the ndvnnce was
helped along by , the liberal exports , more
moderate northwestern receipts nnd fair
out Inspection here. The decline In the
afternoon In the face of the rlso on this
side yesterday wan also said to be duo to
the reduction In ocean freights more than
anything else , and this explanation was
something of a help to the situation. As a
rule there was little In the news to war
rant the advance , but sentiment was un-
dcnlably bullish , nnd the feeling that some
upturn was due was quite general. May
opened about V4o lower nt from C6V4o to
CGc and started up and sold from C7c
to 67\Jc \ , and at noon was C7Uc. The market
broke badly toward the close of the session.
Hoom traders loaded up heavily above C7c
for May and In endeavoring to sell out
caused a sharp reaction. Besides the re
port of $1,000,000 In gold taken for export
helped -depress values late In the day.
Heavy selling orders also came In from
the northwest and Mny Bold down to C6V4c ,
cloning rather weak at that price.
Corn was quiet , but llrm , Influenced by the
strength In wheat and the continued moder
ate receipts. May opened unchanged to
30Vdc , advanced to 30c , nnd reacted to
bid. The market weakened during the last
hour In sympathy with wheat. May sold
off to SOVfcc , ' and closed easy at that price.
In oats the feeling was firm early , but
later as wheat went down the advantage
was lost , . May opened fractionally lower
at 21V4e , fluctuated between from 21Vto to
Zlc , nnd eased off , closing nt the openIng -
Ing price.
Provisions were slightly weaker at the
opening. Influenced by the unexpectedly
largo run of hogs , but as yard prices held
well and wheat displayed strength , ad
vances were noted. Later , however , ns
activity subsided nnd the grain markets
lost their early gains , provisions did like
wise. Closing prices for pork and lard
wcro practically unchanged , and ribs closed
2'/4o lower.

In reviewing the tallow market' the Chicago
Shoe and Leather Gazette says that nt last the
abnormal low price of4c has been touched at
which prlco sales were effected. Some 250000
were taken. Even nt this figure ihero'Is
hardly enough trade to susloln these low prices
and a further decline Besms Inevitable Stocks
are gelling larger on account of the" email sales
by packers , who have been accumulating In an
ticipation of higher markets , ' nnd'witli lower
provision markets things nre In a pretty bad
Bhape at the present momtjit. Europe has taken
qulta n good bit of off grades , which mad ?
packers rather firm , and It nt ono time looked

chases came to a sudden halt nnd bids were

Weekly Itevtew of Trade , which Issues to
morrow , will say : The weather still hinders
business ns docs the continued closeness of
money nnd the prolonged Inaction" con
gress , but conlldenco Increases , The produc
tion of pig Iron , 198,099 tons weekly , Feb
ruary 1 , Is 4.C3 per cent less than January
1 , nnd 8.5 per cent less than November 1 ,
while the unsold stocks Increased C3.18S tons
In January , showing an output much ex
ceeding the present demand. I'lg Iron at the
east and at Chicago has not advnncedv
southern competition continuing at prices
so low that several Alabama furnaces have
stopped , but bcpsemcr Is a shade
lower nt I'lttsburg. The demand
for plates , shwt.1 and flr < - nall ooni'niif" M"
Rood , and there ere more orders for railroad
cars nnd bar Iron nt Chlcnpo , but no. further
sales of rails appear , and the demand for tin-
Ishwl productions kotps about 70 i > = r cent of tnc
capacity employed. The eoko output Is again
much reduced. Copper Is a shade llrmcr nt
10V4 'cents , while tin nnd lead arc not active nnd
unchanged.
The demand for boots nnd shoes In still disap
pointing , several factories have closed and n few
nro working full time , belief In lower prices
still previi'lltnc , although further reductions have ,
been- made In most linen , amounting since Jan
uary 1 to G per cent. Same prominent makers
Rft peed orders for women's llRht shoes , but
others scarcely any , nnd Boston shipments thus
far nro 21 per cent leas than last year. j
Textile work shown Ilttl * chance , though the
cut In print cloths to , 2.75 mid a general con
cession In brown nnd bleached staples , averaging
for the whole I VI quoted , C per cant since Jan
uary 1 , Induced more buying , which the known
accumulation of goods ahead of demand has
hindered. Many mills arc reporting gnat profits
last year from the rise In cotton , but the pros
pect of a larger crop this year docs not promlss
a repetition of surli gains. Though goodn still
average 12.7 per cent nbave their lowest point
last year , cotton Is now 44 per cent higher than
It was then.
Sales of wool have been small for the two
weeks of February , 9.320,700 pounds , against 10.-
2f,0TiW pounds last year , and 12,502CTi0 poundr. In
1893 , but higher prices abroad , sustained by
heavy shipments of goods to this1 country. Incline
holders of wool here to make no concessions , BI >
that manufacturers have the more dUllculty In
meeting competition. Many cancellations of or
ders for clay worsteds and mixture ! ) nro reported
slnco the reduction In prices. Clothiers , whs
hnvo still to carry largo unsold stocks ot deal
ers , ns well ns theTr own , defer orders ,
Produce markets tend downward , mainly be
cause supplies exceed expectations. Wheat has
declined three-fourth of 1 cent with w f.tern re
ceipts , 3.0 : : , SOS bushels , against' 875,199 'bushels
last year , while Atlantlo exports for two weeks
have been only 3.C39.195 bushels , ngalnst 2,721,341
bushels lost year. Corn Is a shade lower , nnd
Loth pork nnd lard are n little lower. Cotton re
ceipts were small , but spot cotton lit * declined
an eighth for the weelc. t-
The failures for the week have been 82t In , the
United States , against 270 last year , and sixty-
seven In Canada , against flfty-one last yean

NEW YOnU , Feb. II. llradstrcet's review of
this New York stock market for the week shows
Irregular strength has characterized the trading
on the Slock exchange for the past week. The
outcome of iho bond Issue has stimulated public
Interest In the market and brought In a consid
erable volume of new buying orders , London
also purchased our securities to a certain extent ,
the market there being affected by a renewed
movement In Knfflr circles , and Americans being
hfld 1n better esteem on account of the BUCCPHI
of Ilio Ixind Issue and ttio decreased fear of sil
ver legislation by congress , ns' well as because
of the prospect of an undemanding between our
own and th * Hrltlih sovemmcnts In regard to
the Venezuelan question. The foreign buying
was of a very marked character on Thursday.
but was checked on Friday , largely because of
Ilia appearance of friction between thu Doer gov
ernment of the Transvaal authorities , _
The rapid restoration of the treasury gold to
almost normal proportions , through payments
far the now bond sales , also had a. favorable ef
fect on 6p"ulatlva sentiment , though the with
drawal of considerable amounts of cold from the
treasury to be turned back to It Immediately In
payment for bond subscriptions , was naturally
rceudd a an nnomaloua feaiurc one , however ,
which could not be avoided under our present
currency system. The crurhlns vote ncalmt the
senate sllvur vubstltute for the bond bill In th
houno of representatives wan another .Incldtnt . of
nn encouraging character.
On the other hnnd , professional Interests have
continued to realize their profits im blocks of
shares purchased before I ho beginning of the
present rlo nnd tha tradcm have appealed
anxious for a reaction , both to rover shorts and
to attract fresh buying at a lower level of
l > rlccs. Altoerlbcr tha market has been jjronder.
Tim participation U of a much more Ktneral
charaoUr , and a decidedly large number of
stocks hava participated In Its movement. The
underlying ton * hm been bullish , though the
realizing referred to abovft and the disposition of

NKW YOUK. Feb.Manlpulatlon by the
speculative leaders was again today the feature
of the stock , market. Outside business wan very
llifht and there was n dearth of news bearing
legitimately upon price ? , .aside from n dlfap-
polntl-u tun ; In the London marltol for pur
securities. Tlie usual conlllct In the market nnd
the Inconsistent gossip wns circulated regarding
the act vo Industrial stocks , 'and they exhibited
relatively much greater activity than the rail
road list. The courpo.of pticos was erratic.
London had been expected to follow the strong
closing of the local market , but , ns a mailer
of fact , prices irom that ce'iter showed declines
or from V , to H4 per cent , and subsequent for
eign stlllr.r ; In this market effected losses of
ovur n point In Louisville & Nashville and St.
r.11'1 , after an early display o strength. The
l.onilon wcol ness was "ascribed to the apparent
renewed fr'cilon over the Transvaal situation
hiid to tht discouraging estimates by lending
European financiers as to the net results of the
now loan In stivnglhcnlng the treasury resene.
The point made several' days ngo In

of new gold from the loan , Is now more generally
appreciated , and bear capital was made out of
It yesterday nnd today. This Is not illogical ,
In view of the approaching spring Imports sea
son , when a fairly large outgo of gold Is normal.
Sugnr led the entire market In point of activity.
The stock at the outset displayed aggressive
strength on pool manipulation , based on- actual
calculations , ns Its abundant resources and large
earning power , expectations of the payment of
the regular dividends now Impending , nnd fur
ther advances In foreign sugars. An advance of
2 % per cent was engineered , carrying the price
to 115.
The Evening Post's 'London financial cable
gram says : The stock markets opened dull today

Cotton Reporter says of the wool trade : "The
sales In the three principal markets for the
week have amounted ta 4,766,440 pounds , 2,203.100
pounds of which were domestic wool. The total
suits since January 1 , 1S96 , have been 37,047,830
pounds , ngn"nst 32,30j'9C5 pounds a year ago. Al
though nfl the record of sales shows , a larger
amount of business has been done In the period
undciv review than was transacted a , week
earlier , nevertheless the market continues to be
quiet. Money Is as tight as a drum , and holders
of wool are for the most part relentlessly Him
In their Ideas of the value of their commodity , so
that free purchasing Is quite thn exception.
Strange OH It may seem , In caniideratlon of the
obvious dullness of trade , rates for good stack

CATTLE The receipts of cattle today
numbered 1,003 hend ns against 829 yesterday
nnd 1,167 on Friday of last week. The
supply ot cattle has been very light over
slnco Tuesday , and buyers wcro a little
hungry for them today , whlcn contributed
much toward making a better market.
Then , too , the reports were encouraging
frcm other market points , so that every
thing was In the seller's favor , with the
result that there was n decided Improve
ment In the market on killing cuttle.
With the buyers all wanting oatllo the
few fat steers on sale did not last vrry
long , but everything was sold and weighed
lip 4n Rood suason. It was a good strong
nnd active market , with prices In extreme
cases lOe higher. Several loans of pretty
dfcont little cuttle sold At $3.ttM.S.r ) > .
llutchers' stock wns also In good demand
nnd desirable cows nnd heifers sold freely
at stronger prices. The market closed early
with practically everything sold.
Stockcrs and 'feeders were In such light
supply that that branch of the trade did
not cut much Ilguro In the market. The
prices paid did not show much change as
compared with yesterday. Representative
sales :
