8 TITE CmAlTA DATIiT BEE: WEDNESDAY, FEBTttTATtY 20, 1003. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Market Braces and Beacti from the Heaty Depression. IMPROVED F.RtIGN BUSINESS THE CAUSE Wheat ltalllee (taaer Htitf Baylaa;, at 4lets Dowi Before tloel al tera Ualae Oata Stroaajer aaa Pmliloii Ilala Wall. t-HICAOO, Feb. 25.-Reactlon after yes 4rday'a heavy depression In grain aet In today and covering- of short accounts, In fluenced by an Improved forelitn business, braced the tone of the markets. May wheat closed with a fain of ttc. May corn 440 and May oats He Provisions closed a shade to 2ic lower. Following yesterday's heavy liquidation the wheat trade hardly knew what to ex pect at the opening today. There was a poselblllty of another such day, but the entire local contingent felt like playing- for a recovery on the theory that prices had broken enough. Cables were unresponsive to our depression and the early business was marked by covering. Liquidation for a time, however, held prices down again be fore they made a final rally. Then came In reports of a better foreign demand. Clearances were large. Bradstreet's re ported a visible supply decrease of 2,014,000 bushels and late reports had It that the melting snow showed damages to the win ter crop not known before. Pit traders bought cautiously, the liquidation prac tically ceased and liberal covering began again. Buying was heavy, while prices were on their early upturn, but quieted down later. Some professional bulls secured low-priced stuff, with a view to later profits. Cash business also improved. May opened a shade to c higher at 7n76iSc, slid oft to 1h3 and reacted to ?G"tc. The close was firm. May y,c up at 7637SVc. Receipts. 73 cars, 2 contract. Minneapolis and Injluth reported 401 cars, making a total for the three points of 474, against 4:9 last week and 6 a year ago. Primary re ceipts were 662.WK) bushels, against 415.000 last year. Seaboard clearances equaled 46.000 bushels, of which 475.000 were flour. The seaboard reported 25 loads taken for export. Corn showed a tendency to do better after yesterday's break, though the feeling was unsettled and nervous. There was stiil some liquidation from the country, but not of the urgent sort that marked yesterday's business. Buying was started early on the steady cablea, both for snorts and for In vestment, by those who hope soon to bull the market again. There was not much ea)d one way or the other about country offerings, though indications were for rather a restricted movement. There was a big business done early and the country came In and played both ways. The in creased receipts had a depressing effect, but the market was sufficiently strong to overcome that Influence. It Is thought that the liquidation Is about over. Foreigners bought to some extent and helped with the advance In May. which opened unchanged to c higher at b(SZ9c, sagged for a time to bc, then sold to SoiuWc and closed firm, Kc up at 60c. Receipts, 331 cars. Oats had a strong market and while trade waa dull there was a decidedly ner vous feeling. The advance waa largely sympathetic, though business was Im proved over that of last week. Some sell ing waa done on the Increased receipts, but corn Influenced covering and better prices. May sold as low as 41 Vic and closed firm at Its top figure. He higher at 42g42',4c. Re ceipts. 317 cars. Provisions ruled dull and slightly easier. The lower prices for hogs at the yards In duced some early selling, but the grain strength helped later. May pork closed 2o lower at I16.&2H. May lard a shade down at 3.3fVg.37 and May libs ZHc lower at w.40. Estimated receipts tomorrow: WTieat, cars; corn, 90 cara; oats, 100 cars; hogs, 41 vm need.

Today's stock market waa again largely devoted to ob scure specialties, both In the railroad and Industrial list. Most of these showed ad vances and the entire lack of explanation of the movements pointed to manipulation by speculative pools. Some of those which have advanced heretofore were undergoing a process of proflt-taklng. and the relapses tnus causea were sometimes rxceeauigiy sharp. Thus an advance of 2 In St. Joseph A Grand Island was abruptly wiped out by two or three sales at the laat. which carried the stock a frsctlon below laat night, and the Arst preferred, after rising 1, relapsed 3. A similar abrupt dip was made last night by Chicago, Indianapolis A Louisville and that stock moved up i. but lost most of It. The minor stocks, which were strong today. Included the Duluth, South Shore tk Atlantic stocks, the Ann Arbor stocks. Fort Worth A Denver City stamped, the Chloago Terminal stocks, Chicago Great Western, Kansas city Houtnern pre.rerreo, the American Linseed stocks. Glucose, American Rubber Goods. Grass Twine, Twin-City Rapid Transit, Westlnghouse Electrtc common and Arst preferred, and General Electric. Gains In this group ran from 1 to. o points, mere were losses or from 1 to 2 nolnts in nroAt-taklna In a number of similar stocks and National Salt went down several points from Its last sale. There was a desultory speculation here and there among the high-priced in dustrials and in one or two groups as a whole, but the movements were of little significance and the tone of the market was at all times mixed and Irregular. Amalgamated Copper and Sugar were In clined to heaviness, the Arst or reports that the purchase of a mine reported yes terdav had been given undue significance and the latter on the shading of prices on refined sugar. Amalgamated Copper rose suddenly a point over last night at the last. Brooklyn Transit was notably strong. The short Interest seemed 4o be Intimi dated by the large borrowing demand for the stock, wnicn nas peen eupposea to oe for votlna nnrrwses to the coming meeting. The Iron and steel industries were in good demand on trade conditions, but an abrupt reaction In Tennessee Coal at the last. which carried It below last night, affected the others in the group. The most notable movement of the day was In Lackawanna, which was lifted 8 points as a result of the verv atronar showing In the annual report. Other coalers responded moderately. In the rmh nm tna anecuiauve nooi waa buying the second preferred, while selling the common. The basis of the speculation In these stocks Is the sunDosltlon that the second preferred Is to be converted one-half Into the common and one-half Into the Arst nreferred. which would Ax the value Of the second preierrea miawey peiween inose oi the common ana nrst oreierrea. i ne etrenrth of the specialties kept the general undertone Arm, but the dealings In the stocks of the great railroad companies re flected no convinced opinion on tne pros pect of any great changes In future condl- tiona. ... The bond market was rainy active ana Arm. Total sales, par value. 32.44S.00O, United States new 4a advanced per cent on the last can. The Commercial Advertiser's London Ananclal cablegram says: The market was cheerful today on rumors of fresh peace negotlattona. although later In the day these were officially denied.

On the start a few of the choicest bunches did not sell but very little lower than yes terday, but aside from those salea the gen eral market was 64jloc lower, the greatest decline being 011 the llahtwelaht stuff. The heavy hogs sold largely from $5.95 to $6.1o and as high as $6.20 was paid, which Is the same aa yesterday's top. The medium weights went largely from 6.85 to $o.9i and the light stuff went from $0.80 down. Ow ing to tne heavy receipts sellers found it very hard to dlsnose of their underweight Stuff, aa buyera cojld get enough of the heavier hogs to fill their more urgent or ders. The close for tnat reason waa alow weak. Representative sales: and No. 2U. U..

Packers all seemed to be anxious for good stuff and were out early, so that the market was active from the start, and the desirable grades sold about as fast aa they were unloaded. The general market could safely be quoted strong and some sales were undoubtedly 10c higher. That was particularly true of ewes. Lambs today sold aa high as $6.65, yearlings brought $5.60, wethers $6.25 and ewes $4.60. There were not enough feeders In the yards this morning to make a test of the market, but It la safe to aay that anything guou wouia nave sola at runy steady prices.
