A good export de mand overshadowed other bullish factor * In a Mrong nnd active market today , May closing I'fcfi ' llje over yesterday. Corn closed -"Sftlic and oats lie Improved. Pto- vlslons ut the close were a shade better than yesterday. May wheat opened IsflHe over yesterday's close at C7rifi 7ic. . supported by the Paris ndvame and predlctlnn of a cold wave. Thn markei touched fi7'.4e and then Iho as cent hcgnn , which wa continued to the nd Trade was ncllve and the market broad. Liverpool turned strong and ad vanced on reporls of weather menacing to the crop In Prance and It was feared the farnn tables reported that Argentine ship ments would be delayed. The renditions were a support to the local markei. The most cheerful news , however , from a Imll standpolnl was that the expert demand , which , day after day , bus been labeled "slack , " had Improved. In confirmation of < hls New York reported , " > 9 loads taken for export , while 200,00 bu. were sold here for direct export The price for May was steadily bid up to BS ifi < 34c. ! nt which It closed , mwl'lc over yesterday. Primary receipts were lll.ooo'hit. ' , compared with 4 > S- 000 bu. last yenr. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 3.V5 cars , against 274 1-jst week nnd 25o a yenr ngo. Local receipt. , were 19 cars , none of which graded contract. At lantic norl clearances In wheat and flour were eiplal to 2S7.000 bu. The corn market was strong nnd active , the greater part of ihe session. There was n good shipping tlemand 80,000 bu. being fold for exporl and shorts bought liberally. The main Influence In the strength was the rejiort that the Argentine crop was suffer ing from extreme heat. Liverpool was lilgher on this. Country offerings were small. lxcal receipts amounted to filO ears. iMay ranged from 33c to 33c and closed Mi'i-e over yesterday at 3i',4f/33c. : Com mission .houses led the. 'buying- ' , while scalpers took profits. The oats market was strong , but trade was small. The strength of other grains was the main factor. Receipts bore were 1"R c rs. May sold from 2Hifi 33141 ; to 23 % < [ i23-c and closed lie up at 23c. In the fare of heavy hog receipts nnd lower prices nt the yards provisions showed strength which excited thi > admiration of traders. Liverpool was well up on product and the stiength of grain was a factor. Of- iferUg.s were light and iho demand exccl- lcn - particularly from one Inlluentlal con cern , which naturally caused buying by lesser Interests. The market was lower at the start , reflecting the- heavy hog receipts , but this was more thnn recovered. May pork sold from $11.TO to $11.15 and closed 21Z ( ifov over yesterday at $11.1214 ; May lard , from JG.10 to JG.17K closing a shade down at Jfi.l'.ili'iifi.i : ; , and May ribs , from JJ.tC'/.ff ' fiM to J8.ODfifi.02ij , . with the close 2U.ig6c over yesterday nt JG.OOfi 6.021 $ .

NEW YORK , Ffb.The stock market offered a striking demonstration of I j the weakness engendered by a sudden and j violent advance In prlcci nn 1 the recklessP. ' . 'speculative . venture * thereby Invited. The professional bear operators found an easy prey In th" sw irm of speculators who have been 'buying ' so | < - ] < ! i for a week past on mnrHo.i. gin with -borrowed money. In the latter part of the day the bears swooped uion ; the market , offering prices down with upGen. parent recklessness nn.i . playing havoc with speculative accounts held nn narrow margins. : / The amount of these margins ' 'left no alternative to the holders but lo throw thrlr stocks In order lo avoid losres. The bull leaders of larger callbrr had either realized profits at the lils'ier level and were \\lltlng to pee a react Inn In prices 1 to get Into the m.irket again , or withheld support from the market with a view lo shaking off the undesirable following of speculators with small resource * , which constituted a menace to the further ad- ; vnnce In prices. It was this class that was the principal sufferers In today's shaking out. People , who control large capital and who bought In the panic of December and started the bull movement Inst week have taken profits on a very large scale. Their selling was mel by so large a demand up to today in to keep u ; > the level of prices. There was evidence during the morning of continued large absorption at some points In the list , notably In Sugar , said to be covering for the bear account , and Pennsylvania , Union Pacific and Tobacco. Some stocks of minor , Importance also continued to advance , but It soon ibecntno manifest lhat the selling pressure was grealer Ihnn the new demand could absorb. It was then ulnt the bears made a fierce raid on the vulnerable spats ; they cllppc.l ' 5',4 ' points from the price of Tobacco and In a number of the metal sto.-ks , conspicuously p. Nallonal Sleel and Sleel Hoop , and In SiiRar and Iho local traction stock they drove down prices from 2 to 4 points. In ihe miltt ronil list Baltimore < t Ohio rom-trxl 3's ; ' i Rock Island nearly 3 points and Pennsyl- ' ' van'a. New York Ceniral , St. Paul.Bur lington and Missouri Paelllc from Hi to 2',4. At the low level the ru.'h of the bears lo cover caused some violent rallies. Melro- .polltnn being pushed up 3'4 points , in Third Avinue , Sugar , Tobacco , National Steel , 'Baltimore it Ohio and Rock Island the le- coverlcs ran from 1'i .to . over 3 points , Them was a very heavy absorption all day of Union .Pnclllc . at all -levels - an.l lu thu final rally It was .pushed . up tl , Ihe close .being rather feverish at a notable , lecovery from the lower level and at not mixed changes. The market for bonds continued active , ibut prlco changes were Irregular. Total sales , par value , $ ! ,2H5,000. United States old 4s , coupon , advanced ' 4 In Ihc. bid price.

The way the market was. however , It was n great plenty. Chicago reported a decline of fully lOc nnd a slow market. 1'nder Ihe influence of the advices sent out from other selling points buyers here starled out bidding way lower , anywhere from 10 ? to 25e lower , and Ir wax .a mean market from start to finish. Sellers were backward about making all the concession ruiked and the callle moved toward the scales slowly. When buyers found that they could not get the entile nt th < Mr first bids they raised their hands In many cases , bin still the general market was lOc lower and In some cases buyers thought they took off 15fi20e. It is safe to ftty that the market Is 25ft35c lower than the good time last week. The market on cows nnd heifers was In bettor shape than the market on fat steers for 1'ie simile reason that there were not | mnny on sale and buyers seemed to want. nil of them. The maiket opened slow , but | finally developed Into a steady market and ,7G. , most everything that could be called nt all j desirable sold In good season. Hulls , stags , etc. , have all' sold lower this week under the Influence of the decline on fat catile. Stockers and feeders were in moderale supply In first hands , but speculators had good many catile on hand carried over from yesterday and Monday. The country demand so far this week has been light , and that fact , taken In connection with Iho lower beef markei , has rendered Ihe market - kot not only slow , but very weak and lower all around. The feeder Irade al Ihe prefient lime really cutf very lltile figure f few r-ntlle of that kind are coming and few are wanted. Representative sales : BEEF STEERS. No. Av. Pr. fi 9CO 4 15 No. Av.
