CHICAGO, Fob. 10,-There mi a short lived attempt to raid the pats pit todw and. with little support t hand. prlia Buffered In consequence. Otherwise the arraln markets were of tha commonplace Type, with very narrow fluctuatlona and lightly bearish tendencies. May wheat closed Ko lower; May com. W4o down Mid May oati fcWfco depressed. Provisions j tor aome activity cloaed 60 to 7Vo higher. . ordinary Influence appeared to have little effect on wheat. Cp to midday the Tange was over only c, and the whole swssion ahowed only a ehade more. The alightly bullish feeling with which the market eloeed Saturday waa lout at tha otitaet tdday on minor bite of bullish news. The cablea did not refleot any of pur strength, tha amount of passage bad In creased 1.284.000 buahela and the world s shipments were liberal. The mild weather with additional snows over the west was favorable for the growing crops. All told, tbe market was dull and largely a scalping aKiLlr, traders selling on all the bulges boo buying on the dips. The most Im portant item of news of the day was the decrease of 1,863.000 buahela, almost double th AaerwAM nrt- vet there was no effect on the pit May opened o to a shade lower at 77o to 77To, ana on eariy corn strength sold to 78c. Commission houses later turned seller, the oats break had a depressing effect, and May reacted to nno. The close was easy. May 4o down at 77H6W7o. Local receipt were J 7 cars. Mlnneapolla,and Duluth reported iiSS cars, making a total for the three i.nlni. Xi'l cara. aa-nlnst 289 last week and tS7 a year ago. Primary receipts were &O2.000 bushels, compared to 727.O00 ouaneis a year ago. Seaboard clearancea In wheat and flour equalled 257,000 bushels. World's Moment a were 8.680.000 bushels, compared to 8.2X4,000 bushels last week and 8,830,000 bushels last year. Corn at times had fair support and soms activity, but the bearish tendency won out. The early cables were Indifferent, baaed On an improvement in Argentina crops. There was a feeling that the mar ket had been oversold Saturday and shorts covered freely at the opening, but this did not last lonr. Mav ooened Vac to o lower. recovered and sold to io shortly after the opening. The commission house sell ing and the oats depression brought a sag and In the absence of buying order the gain was lost. Kansas City again reported bearish market. May closed easy, ttQHc lower, at fclMrtKil'Kc. Receipts were 6Z cars. Oats had a baa t'me of It from the open ing. The start was fairly steady with s corn and soon after the opening May op tions were selling at 434c Saturday's closing figure. Then there set In a deliber ate raid, such as was witnessed two weeks ago, and May was depressed down quickly to 42c. There was a poor demand and there was almost no early support. More Interest was shown, however, than In sev eral days, and toward the close commission houses helped toward regaining a fraction of the loss. May closed weak, lrbc net lower, at 42f! 4iV4c. Receipts were 108 cars. The strength In provisions was some thing 01' a surprise, considering the large receipts of hogs 88,600 head, at eight points, compared with 64,O0O head last year. Offerings were light, except when prices were at their highest. The open ing was M early on a steady nog market. nut buying and covering set in at once. Packers wanted a good deal, but as prices went up they relieved the tension some what by selling.

Feb. lO.-There was some apprehension In speculative circles that the support accorded the market on Satur day after the appearance of the bank state men 1 would prove but temporary ana mi a setback waa Imminent In the prices of stocks. The heavy fire losses reported over Sunday, especially that at Peterson, caused additional apprehension before the opening. The uneasiness proved to be un founded. There was abundant buying of stocks from the opening and little liquida tion was encountered. There was, indeed, little profit-taking In many stocks which have had striking advances recently, but the strength was diverted to new points. Today's market, although disclosing some striking features of strength, by no means took on the full proportions of a bull market In either the volume of dealings, the extent of the advances or the breadth of the distribution. The bulk of the business waa tll I congested, in comparatively few stocks, notably in Southern Pacifies and Readings, and stocks most nearly allied to them. There were some Indications of a common orleln for the active dealings In both these leaders. The buying of Southern Paclflo Is avowedly based on the rate of earnings reported for the company and the possibilities of reduced operating ex penses and refunding of high interest mort-a-HB-ea. The rain In the nrlce of the stork extended to 2V points. The strength of the coalers was due to the belief that an ad justment of labor disputes was assured.

Of the total loan Increase of nearly 839,000.000, four banks are seen to be responsible for over 320,000,000. namely, the National City, the First National, the Hanover National and the National Bank of Commerce. It Is also notable that the decrease in reserves for three of them amounts to considerably more than the total decrease for all the banks, whlls the First National bank alone, of the four, shows an Increase in reserves of nearly 86,000.000.

Buyers were out In good season, and as they bid Just about steady prices In most cases. It wss not long before the more desirable grades were out of first hands. mere were quite a few oeei steers in cluded in the receipts this morning, but there were no strictly choice cattle, the bulk of the offerings consisting of short fed cattle. Packers took hold with some life and the market could be quoted fairly active and Just about steady, particularly on the better grades. The commoner kinds were, ot course, neglected to some extern, but still, even those sold at right around steady prices. Anything at all good In the way of cows or heifers sold without much trouble today at steady prices. The only kinds that sell ers found hard to move at satisfactory prices were the old canners. Trade on those kinds was a little slow, probably owing to the fact that a good many have been coming in of late, so that packers are well supplied for the present. There was not enough change in the ? rices paid for bulls, veal calves and stags o be worthy of mention. Anything good sold freely, while the common kinds were more or less negiectea. There were only a few Blockers and feed ers In the yards this morning, so that sell ers received good, steady prices for all the better grades, in commoner ainas sola at uneven prices, the same as they have Ml along, but on the average they brought fully as mucn louay as mey uia at ine close of last week.
