i CHICAGO, Feb. 18. Corn showed pro
tiounoed weakness for a time today and
worked against a fairly rood tone In tha
other grains. Dullness atill hung: over all
pits, however, and at tha close May wheat
was a shads higher, May corn Vfoo lower
nd May oata Wc lower. Provisions
closed a shade to 2c up.
Wheat had a dun and narrow market.
The range was within Ho and In tha main
the tone waa fairly firm. News was gen
erally bearish, but an unexpected firmness
in Liverpool cables, based on talk of a
grain Import duty and on cold weather,
lielped the market here materially at the
opening;. Trade was principally among; the
locals, with soma buying; and covering;
early. St. Louis was a seller here and
though there was some Improvement In
the export situation, a beaxluh feeling de
veloped on the corn slump and depressed
prices. May opened unchanged to o up
nt 78JJ78o, Sold to 7So and dropped to
1HC There was a good result from the
bullish nature of Bradstreets' world's avail
able re;ert, but the liberal professional
elUng an J reports of liberal offerings In
,tha southwest worked against an advance.
May dosed steady, a shade up at 78f3
7fcc. Local receipts were 46 cars, two of
contract grade, and Minneapolis and Duluth
reported a liberal movement, 393 cars, mak
ing a total for the three points of 439 cars,
against 940 last week and 442 a year ago.
Primary receipts were 468,000 bu., compared
to 426,00 last year. Seaboard clearances
In wheat and flour equalled 144.O0O bu. The
world's visible supply decreased 1,783,000 bu.,
compared to an Increase last year of
1,000,000 bu. The seaboard reported forty
two loads taken for export.
Lower cables and professional selling
started a slump In corn that for a time
bid fair to demoralise prices. At the open
ing there was weakness felt, but prices
did not M( much, because there was no
early soiling pressure. The market was
a very small one early, but when reports
began coming' in that offerings west of
the Mississippi were liberal and that rail
ways were expecting a decidedly freer
movement soon, active selling set In. May,
which bad sold around 6114c, dropped
rapidly to flic Commission houses were
the best bidders until near the close, when
shorts covered for profits, helping; In a
slight rally. May closed weak. VVo
lower, at 6i61c Receipts were 108 cars.
The market for oata waa extremely slow.
There was a fair undertone and a good
deal of Interest shown early. The corn
break, however, worked against the steady
feeling and In the absence of an active
trade price suffered a trifle. May closed
Wa'io down at 43c Receipts were 188
cars.
Provisions were dull and closed steady,
after a fairly strong opening. Hog receipts
were lighter and Influenced higher prices
at the yards and at the pit. But tha grain
weakness caused a loss of most of the
early gain. May pork closed 20 up at
f 15.90, May lard a shade higher at $9.474
and May ribs a shade np at 18.60.
Kstlmated receipts for tomorrow! Wheat,
10 cars; corn, 70 cars; oats, 65 oars; hogs,
Z.ono head.

Market Tarns Downward, and Level
of Prices Blips Lower.
NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-The restrictive In
fluence upon trading of yesterday's storm
was lifted today, yet the volume of trad
ing was only about 500,000 shares. There
was a show of strength during the morn
ing hours, but It dwindled during the day
and the market generally turned down
ward. Some stocks which had the advan
tage of early advances did not suffer ma
terially on the day, but the general level
of prices at the end was lower than yes
terday. The disinclination tn trarln In alivlti nf
the greater railroad systems and especially
those of the transcontinental group, waa
rijr iiiaraea. 11 vmgni nave Deen due to
the efforts making the revision of the
transcontinental freight rates, or might be
explained by the growing Inclination to
await next Monday's session of the su
preme court and a possible decision In the
Northern Securities case before venturing
upon speculative commitments In this
group of Stocks which have so much at
stake In the decision of that case. Specu
lative upuuun is in a perpiexea stale as to
the merits of the Metronolitan Strent Rail
way plan. The machinery of the plan is so
complicated and the bearings of its opera
tion so obscure that little can be made of
It and the general public Is Inclined to
look askance at the securities invested.
The Interest of Insiders in supporting the'
price of the stock pending the completion
of the plan Is obvious, but the price ran
off more than a point In the late dealings
today. This had a deterrent Influence on
speculation elsewhere. The same was true
of the weakness of Amalgamated Copper,
which lost 2 on the day's dealings.
The futility of the efforts to advance
Southern Pacific and Sugar were addi
tional influences In the same direction.
The same development of Interest among
stocks seldom active or of little general
importance continued to be a feature, but
other stocks of the same class recently
advanced here from profit-taking. Buying
was conspicuous In Reading second pre
ferred and In New York. Ontario A West
ern. Uckawanna made a spurt of 6 points,
out reaciea 4. iTontaDie demands on the
coal companies are said to be more than
they can supply, and there are surmises
of further proposed consolidation of the
ownership of these roads. Another group
active and strong was the south westerns
In spite of decreases In' gross earnings for
the second week In February represented
by one of the members of the group. Ru
mors are rife of plans for financial con
solidation In this group also. Wide gains
were made by a number of Inactive stocks.
the last previous sales of which were many
montns 01a in some cases. ,
The money market remained easy, but
confidence over its future Is not fully as
sured. Sterling exchange advanced a frac
tion here today and fell a fraction at Paris.
The margin against profits In gold exports
to Paris Is very narrow and both these
movements tended toward wiping out the
margin. The firmness of London money
market Is an additional factor. This makes
It possible that engagements of gold for
export on Thursday will be made tomor
row, una growing dullness ana neaviness
in the market was due In Dart to this de
velopment The closing was irregular, but
tnere were only sugnt raiues.
Wabash debenture Bs constituted the
bulk of the bond market, but they lost
practically all of their gains. Total sales,
par value, $6,300,000. United States bonds
were all unchanged on the last call.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says: The stock mar
ket was weak on the continuance of forced
sales of Kaffirs by plungers, but the re
sumDtlon of the rise Is expected soon. In
vestment shares were dull on the announce
ment that the Leeds corporation is about
to offer the public a bond Issue of 2,000,00.
The American department was the only
healthy spot In the whole market, th
shares being hard throughout. New York
came a buver of the low priced coalers.
London sold United States Steel, but Amer
ica absorbed our offerings. Rio tlntos sold
at 45. Money rates are unaltered. The
market was compelled to renew all bank
loans. The new Imperial Tobacco company
has been sunscnoea twice over.

CATTLE There ware not aa man v rattle
In the yards this morning as arrived a
week ago today, and in fact receipts were
lighter than expected. That naturally gave
a healthy tone to the trade and brought
buyers out In good season. As a general
thing the market was active and steady to
strong.
Receipts Included quite a few beef steers,
but they were mostly of only fair quality,
the same as has been the case for some
little time. Buyers all seemed to be anx
ious for supplies, and as a result thy
were out early and bid good, strong prices
for the better grades. The cattle changed
bands freely and It was not long before
n.ost everything desirable was disposed of.
Even the commoner grades sold without
much trouble at fully as good prices as
were' paid yesterday.
The cow market also took on considerable
life, and packers were particularly anxious
for the better grades of both cows and
heifers. As will be seen from the sales
below, there were a number of good
bunches in the yards. The market on the
better grades could safely be quoted strong
and active, and some sales looked higher.
The canners and medium grades did not
show much of any Improvement so far as
the prices paid were concerned, bur they
moved a little more freely than they have
of late.
Bulls, veal calves and stags were In good
demand this morning at fully steady prices.
Receipts of stockers and feeders were
limited today, so that the cattle of good
weight and quality commanded good,
strong prices. Owing to the scarcity of
those kinds the commoner grades were in
better demand than they have been for
several days, but there was little or no
Improvement in the prices paid. Repre
sentative sales:

MOOS There were hardly as many hogs
on sale today es were generally expected,
so that the market was In fairly good
shape. Including what was carried over
from yesterday the supply was liberal, but
packers took hold In good shape and most
everything was sold In good season. The
market could perhaps best be described by
calling It fully steady with yesterday
morning. The haavler loads were, of
course, in the best demand and they sold
largely rrom $5-85 to $6.10. The medium
weights went from $5.76 to $5.86 and the
light hogs from $5.75 down. After yester
day's slow dragging market today's trade
seemed very "active. The market on paper
Is somewhat deceiving in view of the fact
that the light hogs were nearly all sold to
day. Including what was carried over from
