CHICAGO. Feb. 28 Widely varying opin
ions a to crop condition and rapid changes
,ln sentiment Influenced nervousness In the
rain markets today. Karly In the session
II pita were weak and eventually became
ovorsold. Later recurrent damage reports
firmed the markets and May wheat dosed
r. higher. May corn S.0 up and May oats
6-lc higher. Provlstona closed a depress
in a day loc to 85o lower.
Wheat ruled weak early and sold lower.
Several bearish factors were at work, such
as unresponsive though slightly higher
cables, good receipts and lair weather.
These turned yesterday's buyers to the
selling side. Several prominent bears sold
short and were Joined by many of the longs.
Liquidation was rather general early and
the outside markets were all lomewtmt
lower. A few crop damage reports came In,
but In spite of them a great deal of wheat
was for sale. Even reports that Now York
had taken more stuff on the break yester
day than had been supposed did not help
prices. Gradually, however, the liquida
tion ceased and the "crop killer" had a
chance to get In his work. Damages were
reported from Kansas; Indiana, Oklahoma
and Nebraska and the outside markets' be
gan working upward. This frightened
shorts, who covered eagerly as the w extern
reports came In more frequently. There
was decidedly more snap to trade than for
soma time and the relatively stronger posl-
tlon of the coarse grains helped wheat.
May opened o to 60 down at 76c
to 76 o and sold off to 75-o. The reaction
took May up to 76c and the clone was firm,
o higher, at 766.76o. An early error in
posting northwestern receipts1 100 cars
larger than they really were, when dis
covered, had a little strengthening effect
Trade waa fair and showed a good increase
after the early lower prices. Kansas City
reported that western offerings of wheat
were not increasing. Local receipts were
82 cars, two ef contract grade, and Minne
apolis and Duluth reported 430 cars, making
a total for the three points of 462 cars,
gainst 499 last week and 284 a year ago.
Primary receipts were 72,000 bu., compared
to 447,000 last year. Seaboard clearances In
wheat and flour equaled 276.000 bu. The
seaboard reported 88 cars taken for export.
Corn held firmer than wheat all through
the day and waa somewhat active, though
it sold early and turned strong late the
same as wheat. Cables were better and in
fluenced a Arm opening. May opened o
higher to unchanged at 0o to 60e. The
bear crowd, however, hammered this pit
and under the influence of the wheat break
corn eased to 69o. The pit was oversold
to some extent and when a prominent pro
fessional bull started In to buy heavily at'
the low prices the crowd changed their
sentiments and bought freely and covered
short accounts. The actual situation of the
corn market, experts say, Is very little
changed. The milder weather has curtailed
ff-edlng, but notwithstanding this, commis
sion houses generally have advised watch
ing the market closely. No marked in
crease in western offerings Is expected for
some time. One of the principal bull factors
was the total western corn movement of
only 402,000 bu., compared to 1,066,000 the
same day last week. . May fought hard
against the early depression and when the
tide turned rose buoyantly to 60c and
closed strong, c up, at 60c. Receipts
were 113 cars.
Oats opened strong and higher on a lack
of offerings. There was little May wanted,
but there waa practically none fpr snle
and the market advanced e on light supply
to the demand. Then business turned dull
until a prominent long went into the pit
and Dulled tne market, mere was a very
uncertain feeling in oats and the crowd
was nlavlnar a watchlns same. The cash
market was somewhat better, though the
upturn In futures restricted futures. Corn
weakness early eased May momentarily
after 4 he higher opening, but the later
strength in that pit also tended to help
oats. May closed Wwla hlgner at 43p43c
Receipts were 90 cars.
Provisions were weak and much lower
throughout the session. The opening was
lower on a lower hog market at the yards
and shortly after the start a hard raid was
made on pork. Lard and ribs declined in
sympathy and selling was rather general,
A little buying was done by the packers.
but not enough to cause a good recovery,
The late grain strength helped a little, but
later commission house selling in the pro
ducts caused a further decline. May pork
sold as low as 116.15 and closed 35c depressed
at $15,171, May lard closed 16617o down
at X9.20 and May riDs 10c lower at xs.30.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat.
SO cars; corn, 160 cars; oats, 80 cars; hogs,
42,000 nean.

NEW YORK. Feb. 26 The nroceedlnirs in
today's stock market were practically a
repetition of those of the last few days.
That Is to say. the Important railroad and
industrial stocks of the largest capitalisa
tion, which usually take the lead in mar
ket movements, were allowed to siumner
while various obscure and rarelv active
stocks were taken un one after another and
pushed upward In more or less sensational t
movements. This order of things was
arled in the last hour by a sharp raid nn
the part of the professional bears. The
ostensible reason for their selling and of
fering down prices was the announcement
of engagements of gold for export by to
morrow's steamer to the amount of $2,460,-
000. The persistent dullness of the whole
market and Its refusal to advance under
the efforts to stimulate by markina up
Individual stocks Impressed the profes-
onais witn invuineraDie position and tne
announcement of the gold exports was
rather a signal than a motive for the at-
ack. Reports of damage to the winter
wheat crop and the ensuing stiffening In
the winter wheat market were used to
advantage by the bears in their raid. Mis
souri Pacific was for this reason especially
vulnerable and Its report of a decrease of
9,(M in gross earnings lor tne third week
n February also added to its weakness.
It was noticeable, however, that roads
which reported increases for the same
Seriod, and especially Atchison, with its
anuary Increase -of $220,875 net, were not
able to resist the decline. No other stock
was so acutely affected, however, as Mis
souri Pacific. The announcement of gold
exports was hardly a surprise, as sterling
exchange has hovered about the export
point all week. Foreigners have been heavy
sellers of stocks since the news of the
government s procedure against the
Northern Securities company and the sup
ply of commercial exchanare bills in the
market Is very scanty. The money market
in new xork nas not snown tne slightest
reflection of any coming stringency, yet
the subtreasury operations have already
taken up nearly $1,000,000 since the last bank
statement and witn New York exchange
at Chicago down to 15c discount the in
terior movement of currency Is probably
away from New York. An early response
in the local money market is highly prob
able. The advances In today's market
were almost universally without explana
tion. In the case of the minor railroads
they were based on a general assumption
that absorption of these by a larger system
Is manifest destiny. The more prominent
stocks In which there waa strength in were
Pennsylvania, the Erles, Wabash preferred
and Illinois Central. Copper was active
and irresular. Other stocks notablv af
fected were the Colorado fc (Southern stocks,
ine uenver at mo uranoe stocks, roieoo,
St. Louis 4 Western, the Wisconsin Cen
tral stocks, Chicago A Eastern Illinois, the
Pvan.vlll. Jw Trm Tin..,. ,..1. - Ia-
Great Western preferred A, the s"t. Joseph
a urana island stocks, Ann Aroor pre
ferred, Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic pre
ferred, the Minneapolis, St. Paul ft San Its
Ste. Marie stocks, Des Moines & Fort
Dodge, Kansas City Southern preferred.
Fort Worth ft Denver City, the Detroit
Southern stocks, Peoria ft Eastern, Kings
ton ft Pembroke, the American Ricvcle
stocks. North American and United States
Reduction stocks, soma of these suffered
acutely from realising.
There was very large buying of Wabash
debenture Bs, and the general bond mar
ket was firm. Total sales, par value.
$4,800,000. United States bonds were all un
changed on the last call.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says: The stock mar
ket gives evidence of returning to Its
former letharelc condition, althoueh a re
spectable bull account in South African
shares still exists. The Quietness was as
sisted by the Victor Hugo centenary policy
in fans, ine market opened nrm, but re-
lapsed In the afternoon on military mishaps
In South Africa. American stocks were
firm on the exchange. Union Pacific. South
ern Pacific and United States Steel being
the favorites, xnere was a fractional re
action in the street. Rio tlntoa sold at

market to borrow 1,600,000 from the Bank

slightly above parity. The dealings were
few and prices closed steady. Rio tintos

peace rumors had a dampening effect on
Kaffirs, In which there were several slight
reactions, though in the main they were
fairly 'cheerful on persistent reports that
favorable news ,,a expected during the

CATTLE There was a very light run of
cattle here .today for a Wednesday, and
much lighter than expected. As a result
buyers were all out early looking for sup
plies, so that competition was active and
sellers took advantage of the opportunity
to force prices up a tittle.
There were comparatively few beef steers
In the yards today, and as the demand was
active the market was generally 5-&10C
higher than yesterday. The better grades.
ot course, sold more freely, but as there
was not enough orrered to fill orders buyers
had to take the commoner cattle and pay
stronger prices for them than they did
yesterday. It could be said that nearly all
grades sold 5 10c higher than they did yes
terday. Owing to the limited offerings
everything was sold and weighed up in
good season.
There was also an active demand for
good to choice cows and heifers. The mar
ket on such kinds could safely be quoted
Mrong, and as there were comparatively
few on sale, it did not take long for sellers
to dispose of everything they had on hand.
The commoner kinds also moved more
freely than usual today. In some cases
sales of canners and medium kinds of cows
looked a little stronger, out as a general
thins; the Improvement was mostly In the
ease with which they sold, rather than In
the prices paid.
Bulls, veal calves and stags also sold
freely at strong prices, where the quality
was satisfactory.
There were only a few stockers and feed
ers in the yards this morning, and anything
good was picaeu up vi u rauy iiuur, ana
good, strong prices were paid. As high as
85 26 waa paid this morning for a choice
bunch ot black came, wnicn is me nignest
price paid In some time. The kind of cattle
that sell from $3.76 down are still In light
demand, and there does not seem to be
much change in ine pncea paiu. Kepre

hoga There waa another generous run
of hogs here today and owing to unfavor
able reports from other points the mar
ket here was generally loc lower. Sales
were made that were all the way from 6
15c lower, but on the average the market
was about a dime lower. Trading was not
particularly active, but still the hogs
began moving toward the scales at a fairly
early hour, so that the bulk of the offer
ings was disposed of in good season. The
prime heavyweights sold mostly from $5.90
to $6.15. The light stuff was, of course, left
until the last and packers were not at all
anxious whether they got that class of
hogs or not, so that the close ot the mar
ket was weak, ths same aa usual. Rep
resentative sales:
No.

BtlH.H.F There was not a verv henvv
run of sheep and lambs here today, but
"in "mine 1. seemeo 10 oe a utile uneven.
In some Dlacea the murket was nilv
while in others it was strong and In others
weak. Sales were made all the way from
loc hlghei to 10c lower. The demand
seemed to be active for good stuff and the
