CHICAQO , Feb. H.-KverythltiK on the
floor wiui Htronfj today , wheat being the
lender both In strength nml nctlvlty. Ho-
ports of additional shipping enpiBcments
for letter wheat nnd nn exceptionally largo
export bunlncn.4 were the prlnclp.il factont
of the buying movement In wheat , which
had advanced tha mniket about lo at the
close. Corn closed He higher , nnd oats % ®
? ic higher. Provisions hesitated for a tlmo
but finally joined the procession nnd closed
24W74o ! ! higher.
There wns a bid demnml for wheat right
from the ntnrt. Mny. which closed yester
day ut SCJgC , opened today at P7'/4Tl97c. '
There WIIH considerable selling by Interests
who have been putting wheat on the market
for Homo tlma piist , but the demand was so
Krcal that the prce | advanced steadily , not
Htopplnjf until Me''had ' been reached. There
were two biff ctors In the ndvnnce. the
I cUer nhlpmcniu ubroail nnd the Liverpool
Btrength. Th6 former was given the most
attention. It was stated on the floor and
not denied by the Loiter Interests thut ur-
rangeinLMitH are being made for the ship
ment of 4,0uai0i ( ) bu. of their wheat from
here to the seaboard. Contracts have al
ready been let for 2.WO.COO bu. of this , It Is
H.iid , and the moving away of uo much cash
wheat had n marked effect on shorts ,
l lverpool was very strong , early cables
Hhowlng Ttd ndvanco nnd later advices
nhowed that market IftflKd up from yes
terday. Private cables suld tiie atrongth WHS
on consumptive demand. Argentlnu ship
ments for the wcok were 71Z.OCO bu. , much
less than generally oxix-ctcd. Northwest
receipts were 3S5 cars , against -132 last week.
Chicago received .17 earn. After advancing
to 9So the marUct eased off somawhat. Theru
' was n lot-up In tin- urgent demand with
the usual selling by people who have been
playing for a break , and Mny reacted to
! )7',4c. ) Then for an hour the price moved
between 97Wc and OSc. most of the time beIng -
Ing at about 97 ! > ic. After that the market
Uf.uln becumo active and very strong. Late
cablegrams brought liberal buying orders
to the seaboard , and about an hour from
the close here It was stated that seventy
boat loads ( about KO.OOO bu. ) had been taken
for export. A considerable pirtion was from
Philadelphia and Italtlmoru. Three steam
ers chartered were supposed to bo for
I tltor'a grain. Closing cables were all firm
nnd higher. The announcement of the ex
port business gave a touch of genuine cjc-
cltomcnt to the market , sending shorts to
cover In a hurry , and the price wns sent
up to 9S-V c , the top figure of the day. Then
the market quieted some. There was a
tendency to even up over the holiday which
caused operations to recede somewhat. Jlny
was bringing ! )7-MiU7c ) at the close.
- There wan a greatly Increased speculative
trade In corn , and the market was very
Htroiif. ' . Nearly all the bit ; bulls "doubled
up" on their llnca and the price wont above
30e after a hard Unlit. Commission houses
sold freely but everything was tak n. The
strength In wheat nnd the unfavorable
weather were Influences , A good export de
mand wns reported. May ranged from SOMjC
to 2fl4C , and closed Vic higher at liOilMV c.
Though there wus not a great trade In
onts the market was strong nnd prices got
to the highest point for the crop. The
strength came from the peed export de
mand and the advance In wheat and corn.
There , was good buying by shorts and some
outside demand. There was tree selling
In tin ) afternoon , , and prices fluctuated
sharply , but closed strong. Mny ranged
from 2Cc to 23-'HC , and closed % > 0ic : ) higher
at SG2G .
There was a strong market for provisions ,
with trade aH a whole unimportant. The
market opened easy because IIORS were a
little lower , but quickly rallied to yester
day's best figures on moderate buying of
n general nature. Prices yielded somewhat
Inter on realizing , the market closing steady.
The strength of grain markets and moder
ate stocks were Influences. At the close
May 'pork was "Vic hlpher at $10.70. May
lard Z'/feclilgher at $ . " > .10 and May ribs 2 < 4c
lilg-hor at $3.17f5.20.

G.IF. th latter on the published report of the
company'n Hnances. London bought here on a
conslderablo reale nnd helped to strain prices to
some extent. The offering. , were not well nb-
sorbed and support waa largely withdrawn. The
weakness of stocks cncourngtfJ t'he- ' putting out
of short lines. Tito covering of some of these
before the close brought them to a level matorl-
ally above the low point , but the break still
left net lotvM as general rule. There were
some very striking movements or stocks In epo-
clnl cnscfl. Metroiwlltan Street Railway contin
ued Itn remarknblo ndvanco , rising nt one time
per cent and closing 2 per cent below the high.
est. Third Avenue ws up nt one time 6U per
cent on the announcement of the acquisition of
a large connecting system. The stock , however
reacted 3 per cent before the cloe. Some of the
notable recent advances were due to the rumored
pendoncy of plans for the dlstrllHitlon of the
surplus reaourcea fo the credit of some of tha
gllt-edgo-J proportion , The prevailing abundance
of money Is said to make the care of these sur
plus funds Incienslngly burdensome. Such n.
properly Is Pullman , which advanced an addi
tional point today , but reacted 2 per cent In the
closing dealings.
The day's iteallngs In bonds conllnuod on n
romarknblv largo ncale. single lot.i of par vnluo

quently. Thi | par vallla of sales for th day of
Ati'hlsnn adjustment 4i alone wns 120 , 000 , Some
of the speculative bonds reacted quite sharply In
sympathy with stocks , but the general tendency
was upward.
There hn been n strong tendency tn reaction
In the slock market nt tlmen during the week ,
principally dii to apprehensions regarding the
Cuban question , Early In the week the market
wn * Hol-Ji very aggressively by houses with
Washington connections , and this was Inter
preted ns bolng Induced by a belief that affairs
with fpaln were reaching a critical stage. The
critical outcome of the Incident wrm
accepted tn Wall street und Induced
largo covering of short contract * by
these same. Washington sellers , and the
market rallied strongly on Thurrlny , but
this rise was nttrlbuli 'l by tome persons lo
manipulation , The resumption of realizing which
followed today's advance gave color lo this sup-
IKMiltlon , The nmrket reomed to he In the hands
of giants In speculation , and they refused to
offer their holdings on a declining market so
long as It Is capable of bolng checked by sup
port , That the market Is heavily overlmnght for
great speculative accounts looking to be ulti
mately pold for pronts Is generally believed ,
That the general public has not thus far been
IrHiiced tn como Into tha market and absorb
these long lines In any volume Is Indicated by
th < ! dlsregsrd'of current 'news nmntfesud hv the
market. The enormous demand for all grades of
dividend and Interest paying nepurltles not nl-
roa'V advanced to prohibitive ngures. elioivs the
Isrgo amount of money seeking Investment , and
affords , great material euppnrt to the more
purely snoculstlve department of the market.
The plethoric condition of the money market
and the cheapness of rates trnds to lessen the
return on Investment securities also by raising
thfl price. Increases In railroad earnings nnd
promises of added profits by consolidations find
refunding * lire discounted In proportional rles
In the prices soon after being announced , The
buying of stocks on the New York exchange
for Lwvlnn account has been heavy during ttie
week , the demand for Americans having been
quite active In London nnd nt other foreign cen
ters. Resides the record transactions there are
reports of very heavy blocks of securities having
pasted to the hands of European holiVra at
private sale from the hands of reorganization
Interests. In view of this absorption of Ameri
can securities abroad the upward tendency of the
foreign exchange market during the week Is
somewhat contradictory. Rut the easier rates
for money here have been attended by a ftlff-
enlivv of discount rates abroad , nnd this lias
naturally Induced the withholding of exchange
In order to draw the higher Interest rate abroad ,
Dealings In the Ixmd department of the mar
ket hsve continued on an unprecedented sale
during the week. Thn speculative l iue have
moved at times In sympathy wlfi th * reaction
In stocks , but prices are materially higher all
around. United fitslen new 4 > . registered , and
the old 4s. reglilerrd , are * 4 per cent lower bid ,
and lhi > 5s K per rent higher bid on the week.

necelpts of all kinds of stock were light
today owing In large part to the unfavor
able conditions In the country for shipping ,
consequent upon the sleet storm.
CATTLE Receipts of cattle were light
nnd still there was a gain over yesterday
and a sllfrht gain over a week ago. this
was rather In the nature of a surprise , but
It Is probable that the very brisk opening
of yesterday's market wns pretty generally
telegraphed out Into the country , thus In
ducing shippers to make an effort to get
their cattle to market In spite of the coatIng -
Ing of Ice on the ground. The general mar
ket was lacking In Interest and ut the same
tlmo lesa satisfactory to sellers than yes
terday.
Deet Steers The offerings of beef
steers' consisted largely of medium to fair
ish stuff , with nothing very prime on sale.
\VhIlo the demand seemed to bo of liberal
proportions It was far from being as brisk
as yesterday morning and the trade was
slow to open. As to values the change was
not .great , the market bolng a little easier
than yesterday morning , but fully as good
as yesterday's late market. The more de
sirable kinds of cattle naturally held up
the best and were generally quoted as sellIng -
Ing about steady.
liutchers' Stock Cows nnd heifers were
quite brisk this morning owing to the
good demand and moderate receipts ami
were without doubt the best selling cattle
In the yards. The market on such cattle
was fully steady and the ten or a dozen
loads on sale were soon disposed of.
Stock Cattle. There were only a few
little bunches of stock cattle on sale , not
enough to cut much figure In the day's cat
tle business. There was demand sufficient
to take nil the offerings and the pens were
soon cleared of the fresh arrivals. In spite
of the most .Unfavorable weather there has
been some little country demand , and ns
the cattle have been steadily going out ,
with only a few coming In , the surplus In
the hands of speculators Is running low.
The coming of favorable weather once
more ought to usher In a revival of the
feeder and stocker trade , lleprcscntatlve
HOQS-The hog market wan In a little bettor
shape for ths Boilers today , values being n shade
stronger. The market opened stronger and the
trade wna fiilily uctlvn nt th prevailing prices.
For u tlmo It slacked up a little , but the clo&o
came reasonably early and strong , with OV T-
thlng sold.
The quality of the bogs coming forward Is
very uniform , nnd the difference In value be
tween the best nnd least desirable loads Is extremely -
tromoly narrow , nnd for that reason the great
bulk nf the receipts sell nt ono price ,
Heavy loads today averaging 300 pounds and
above sold ut 13.75. while yesterday there were
a few loads at t.l.7i'/i. '
Medium weight nnd light loads brought J3.730
S.ttM , the top being 2'fcc ' higher than yesterday.
The strength of Iho market was shown In the.
larger proportion of sales at J3.SO today.
Thn averngu of all the sales was UJo higher
than yesterday , 6c higher than n week ago. 2So
higher than c. month niro and K2o higher than a
