I CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-Grslns-m the Board
Of Trade today experienced a quick change
In prices. All options had Rood early ed-vanc-s,
but soon turned soft. May wheat
closed SQ'Vto lower. May corn S'U,0 down
and May oats Mdir'ic higher, Provision
closed S'tiTHc to 10c lower.
There was a little wave of hull feeling St
the opening In wheat. Cables were firm
and world statistics were bullish. There
was some fair buying by commission
houses early and the bullish sentiment
carried over from Saturday, with advances
In corn and oats helped prices upward.
Msy opened Hti'ie higher to a shade lower
at iRTfcfoWXiC, and speedily advanced to 79c.
Almost every bit of available news was
bearish. There was a French cable claim
ing probable Injury to the wheat crop
from the hard winter, although regular
cables did not show advance by reason of
this report. World's shipments had fallen
olt nearly 2.000,000 bushels from weekly re
qulrements, a total for thu week of 6,411,000
bushels, against 8.900.000 bushels last week.
The amount of breadstuffs on passage had
Increased only 232.000 bushels, and the
visible supplv fell off 1.160.000 bushels. Dull
ness In trading, however, and the fact thst
the outsider was not In the market worked
against prices. When 79c was reached for
May, commlsilon houses sold, and as other
grains lost thele early gains wheat turned
bearish. The bears, who had been short
early arid had covered, and thus helped In
the advance, took courage and sold short
again, though not to a great extent. May
slid off to TK'iWWAc and closed weak,
He down at 78c. Local receipts were oniy
at cars, I of contract gTade. Northwestern
receipts were liberal. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported Mo cars, making a total for
the three points of 366 cars, against 332 last
sank and tux a vear no. Seaboard clear
ances In wheat and flour equaled 435.000
bushels. Primary receipts were 8.12.000
bushel, ssalnst 661.000 bushels a year ago.
The seaboard reported 4.1 loads taken for
export too late to help tne sagging marsei.
Corn had a good upturn early after a
lower onenlna- on unresponsive cables. Til 8
spurt In oats and wheat had a bullish ef
fect, but when selling was attempted on the
bulge prices could not hold their gain. Ab
sence of orders, the later easier tone In
wheat and prospects of Increased country
offerings caused liberal selling, i ne senu
ment toward the close changed from a
anod bullish tone to one decidedly bearish.
No effort was made to support prices and
Ma v. which had sold at 62.o. dropped to
eiVusWc. The close was weak, May
c lower at 61ic Receipts were 104 cars.
Oats had a nervous opening. The market
advanced early on commission house buy
ing. Offerings were light and reports of
cash purchase for the east contributed to
the strength. Elevators also were bidding.
There seems to be a tense feeling over the
concentrated May situation. Shorts were
very uneasy and covered. When wheat and
corn turned bearish this pit lost much of
Its early gain. Notwithstanding this oats
showed good strength throughout the ses
sion. Mav opened unchanged to He up at
t3o to 437Ac, sold to 44c ana eesea again

Prices of Stocks Maintain Saturday'
Level, with Firm Undertone.
NITvV YORK. Feb. 17. Today'a severe
snowstorm lessened the attendance at the
Stock exchange and made the stay short
of those brokers who did attend. The
consequence wss a dull and uninteresting
market of no fixed tendency. Only a few
stocks showed deallnra of any Impor
tance, and the price movement in these
wss Inclined to vary. A number of usu
ally Inactive stocks msde some progress
upward. The undertone was firm, and
while prices did not hold always at the
best, the level of prices did not get below
last night.
There was an active speculation In Met
ropolitan Street rallwsy, but the opinion
of the new plan remained about as unfixed
aa Kinm Ita nromiilaatlon. Susar ad
vanced on account of the rise In the price
of refined sugar and the continued nope
that the duty on Cuban sugars would be
remitted by congress.
The urgent buying of raw copper In
London and the sharp advance In the price
resulted In the buying of Amalgamated
Copper here. There was some movement
In the stocks of different steel companies.
apparently In connection with the annual
meeting of the United States Steel cor
poration, but the movement of the United
States Steel stocks themselves was nar
row and dealings were not on a very large
scale, considering the enormous volume of
the capital. The railroad list, outside of
some of the minor stocks, was sluggiKh
and neglected. The continued paucity of
the grain movement and the obstruction
to traffic by storms foreshadow a repeti
tion of the decreases of first week gross
earnings for the second week In February.
Although confidence has been professed In
Wall street that the supreme court will
hand down a decision next Monday favor
able to tne Northern securities company
as the time approaches for the court to
convene there Is a disposition to hold off
speculative operations until the case is
decided.
There seemed to be less apprehension
felt among brokers regarding the threat
ened collection of the tax upon collateral
In call loans. The money market showed
some degree of firmness, although not
auotably changed. The large operations
by Individual banks disclosed by the bank
statement gave fresh corroboration to the
imposition tnat large syndicate transac
tions are In preparation. The flow of
money from the west Is showlnr a de
cllne, but the outflow by exports of gold has
been cnecked, owing to the replenishment
of Bank of England supplies and the
actual plethora of funds In Germany, The
government surplus is also running light
nis montn. me late rise in sugar to
tnree points over saturdsy and the re
covery to the top in Amalgamated Cop
per sustained ths market, which was
otherwise inclined to yield In successive
spots. The closing was irregular.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par

all unchanged on the last call.

CATTLE The week nnened with a much
e mailer run of cattle than arrived a week
ago today, but as compared with the same
uay 01 last year mere was not mucn
change. Packers all seemed to be fairly
anxious for. supplies, and as a result the
market took on considerable life, but there
was not much variation from the close of
last week in the prices paid.
un wrings or Deer steer were ugnt tms
morning, a the bulk of the receipt con-
istea or cow iuii. Buyers were out eariy
ind took hold In rood Shane, an that the
market could safely be ouoted active and
steady. The common stuff was, of course,
rot In particularly good request, but still
even those kinds sold for fully as much
as they would have brought at the close
of last week.
The cow market was active and fullv
steady on such kinds as sell for $4.00 or
Deiter. in a good many cases sales looked
a little stronger than last week, but the
market could, perhaps, best be described
by simply calling It a good, ateady, active
market. The medium grades and canners
sold a little unevenly, the same as has
been the case for some time past, but still
on the average they sold for fully as much
toasy as was paia on naay 01 last week
for the same kinds.
There were a good many bulls on sale
today, but no material change in the prices
psid was noticeable. Veal calves and stags
also sold In Just about the same notches
tnev am last weea.
There ws not a very heavy supply of
Blockers ana leeaers in tne yarns today, so
that anything at all desirable showing
weight and Quality was picked un at steadv
to strong prices. The common kinds did not
move as freely as tne better grades, but
still tney were iuuy steaay as compared
wun tne prices paia last week. Repre

Hco There was not a heavy run of
hogs today, but Chicago had about 80,000
nead on ssle and as a result prices at
hst point took a tumble. The same was
true at this nolnt also. A few loads sold
early that were probably not over 6010c
lower than Saturday's average, but they
were tne heavier weights, packer wouia
not look st the lightweight stuff and as
tne morning advanced their mas on tne
heavier hogs kept getting worse. Sellers
were not willing to make the concessions.
so mat at 1 o clock tne duik 01 tne re
celnts was still In first hands. The late
sales were fully 1015c lower snd In some
cases sales were made that were 20c lower
than the same kind sold for on Saturday.
It was the most unsatisfactory market that
has been experienced here In some time.
r-acaers, nowever, are looking tor a neavy
run all the week, not only here, but at
other points as well, and the fact that

Tne hulk of the hogs that sold toaay
went from $5.70 to $5.90. A high as 16.00
was paid for Z.il-pound hogs. 1 he most 01

Packers seemed to be anxious for sup
plies, but as Chicago was reported as steady

however, they paid lust about steadv nrlcea

HEAVY DEMAND FOR POULTRY
I . .... r ,
Shipment tn Philippine and Ali.sk
Tend to AdTnnce Omaha
Prices. .
The Omaha poultry market 1 higher than
it ha been at the same season for years,
and according to the Ideas ot local dealer
the Increase is relatively permanent. . The
higher range of price I accounted for by
the opening ot trad with Alaska and the
United State transport service between
the United States and the Philippines. Mo-?
of the poultry now shipped out of Omaha
goe to the Pacific coast and at San' Fran
cisco or Seattle la (hipped to the Orient
or the north. This demand has increased
wonderfully within the last twelve month
and the business of freeslng poultry for
shipment 1 one which ha grown to large
proportion.
Said on of the dealers': "Chickens are
retailing at 12 cents a pound in Omaha.
Were tt not for the Philippine and Alaskan -
demand the price would not be to exceed
10 cents, and where ths farmer receive 8
cent for hi poultry today he would find;
difficulty In disposing ot it at 5 cent." '
The oyster market ha improved some
what during the last tew days, and receipt
now are equal to the demand for In first
time line Ash Wednesday, There baa been
an advance of , 10 cent ' gallon In the
wholesale price at Omaha. .
The last of the celery crop from Califor
nia Is at band, and by March 1 th Florida
product will be placed upon, the market..
Celery can be had fresh all the year at
moderate price. The first crop of the
year come from California. This 1 fol- '
lowed by celery from Florida by March 1.
Thirty day later tha product of Louisiana
come upon the market, and In June that
from Indiana and Michigan is ready for
consumption. The Nebraska prop drive

market in August, but It return again In
November and 1 sold until th California,

Notwithstanding the Ill-starred arrival

Mr. Cauhey' trouble began about three
