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.

NEW YORK STOCKS AID BOSDS.
Market Is Aala Largely Devote te
Obseare Ssieelaltles.
NEW YORK. Feb. 25. 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

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. Consols sold
at 84. Americans opened around parity

HOGS There were more hogs on sale
today than for some time oast and as
other markets were quoted lower prices at
tnis point also took a drop. 1 ne general
market could satelv be ouoted 54i loc lower.
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 lambs here today, and the quality was
better than It has been for the last several
days. 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.
