It did Saturday, and held It throughout a
sensational dav Interest In the coarse
cereal has not been so Kcneral In years as
It was today. Predictions were made thnt
the market would follow cotton and "ko

be attributed to tho nrcssure for relnveai.
mont of funds which have been realized by
Investors! who have sold covernment bniwts
at tho high prices prevailing, tho banks
buying thvm to use for security for clr-
dilation. It seems to ostfapo notice that
this Is In a measure an nntlclnatorv em-
ployment of the extended circulation, since

London Was a Ilhernl
buyer of stocks In this market nnd con
sldernble, sentimental Influence was exerted
by the largo Mubsorlptlons ruported to bo
made In Now York to the new' British loan.
It Is nrgued that those subscriptions lndl
cato an abundance of capital and they will
represent also a quickly convertible for
eign credit upon which the country enn
draw In cao of need In the money mar

first week In March were encouraging.
A good effect was produced also by the
statement of exports for February of agri
cultural products, the large Increase In
value of cotton exports for the month
giving It the record for Fehrunry.

count, but speculation did not develop as
was oxaected, but contnngoes were rather
Htlffer. indicating that speculation Is In
creasing. Interest Is now centered In the
war loan, which has already been tub
scrlbed twenty times over. The London list
was closed today, but this has not yet
been authoritatively ennounced. The pre
mlum fluctuated today between 2i and 2'4,
closing at 2S8. Consols ranged between
101!4 nnd lOW. closing at 101 7-10. Americans
opened strong and kept firm. Business In

York offered support and especially In St.

cheerful at tho top. The contnngo In this
department wns MiTflVj and the account

CATTLE Tho week started out with a
smaller run of cattle than Inst week and
with tho general market Mhuwlng little
chatiKo upon tho whole.
Cornfed steers seemed to be In pretty
good demand nnd the market, while not
particularly nctlve, was sufllclently so to
effect a reasonably early clearance. The
prices paid were just about the same as
prevailed at the closo of last week and
about all that can he said of the market Is
to call It .steady. The most of tho cattlo
on salo were soon disposed of.
Cows nnd heifers were also In good de
mand and the most of the desirable stuff
was soon disposed of nt steady prices. No
new features were dtivelopcd lu the trado
and the market was without quotablo
change. Hulls, stags and othur stock sold
In last week's notches.
The feeder market was crazy and good
stuff sold ns high as any time. Somo good
Wyomlngs, white faces, brought 15. Thn
speculators wero the principal buyers. The
total offerings wero light and everything
on salo was disposed of lu a short time.
