" 'crifca SlUktlr Hlaaor ' , Prolloas ActlTe. CHICAGO. Feb. 27. Corn itrmflh was 1h .dominating atrentth In Brain. pcula Ylon tortay. and working against atpreaa lug influences In other pits steadied wheat and oats, and itself held firm. May wheat flowed down. May corn H nlgner and May oata a alvada higher, rrovlaiona cloned 6qTa to lOo higher. Corn trade started out somewhat net ter than at yesterdays close. Influenced by firm cablea. The crowd, however, took the seJIlng aide early and an easier feeling was manifest for a time. The local Belling was offset by a fair commission house de- tnand, the souinweai ouying uomuj, orofessionala later came In the market with bull Intentions. Aa prloee advanced ho-ta were forced to cover and a good trade developed. Kansaa City and St. Louts again took a lead In futures over this market. There were claims that cash busi ness was going on there. The Btrength In these markets did much to help bull senU. ment here. Predictions of storms In the southwest also was a bull factor. May opened unchanged to c up at 9'iilc easvd to 6oc and then lumped to WMiC. Late In the day profit-taking caused a loss of much of the strength, though May closed firm, V,a higher, at Receipts were much lighter than estimated, at 116 Wheat had only the corn bulge to help It In a struggle against numerous bearish tendencies. Cables started slightly higher, but at no time reflected yesterday s local strength. Northwestern and primary re ceipts were Increased and the crowd took the selling side. There were reassuring reports of crop conditions that helped bear the Tnarket, as did an absence of demand for the grain In store, t'nder the Influence May opened H'fr'io to UQo lower at 7iVS,o to ffi'ic and eased to 7V4c Then the corn Influence began to help, the outsiders bought and manifested a desire to f'ay the market. The predictions of the cold weather also Induced some buying. May sold up to T7c. but the late liquidation In corn started the local crowd, who had been the best sellers, to hammering the market again and prices slid off. May closed weak, Wika lower, at 7c. . Receipts were 37 ears, two of contract gradp, and Minne apolis and Duluth reported 533 cars, a total for the three points of 670 cars, against 292 last week and 312 a year eo. Primary receipts were tht,XK bu.. compared to 491.0f,0 last year. Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour equaled 193,000 bu. - The seaboard reported 19 loads taken for export. Commission houses took hold i of oata early and bid the prloe of May to 44c. There was fair buying on the strength of corn, which exerted some Influence, but near the close May was offered more freely and the strength was lost. Western offerings were rnther light. Local receipts were small. Provision people were the best sellers. May closed steady, a, shade higher, at 434c. Receipts were to cars. Provisions were fairly active and main tained a good strength all during the ses sion. The start was slightly lower. In fluenced by heavy receipts at the yards and consequent lower t rices for hogs.

Blar Securities Are More) ActlTO, tat Obseare gtoeks Still Pronlaeat. NEW YORK. Feb. 27.-The most actlvo stocks In today's market were among those ralher better known to the average spec ulator than those which have occupied the greatest attention for several davs, but the obscure specialties still had a large part In me market, particularly In the width 01 their price movements. Some new ones were brought forward Into activity and Were pushed smartly upward and advances continued In some others recently awak ened Into activity. Still others reflected the passing of the speculative movement and the taking of profits, after which mar- 'i support was withdrawn ana me price was allowed to take Its own course. The ?ery large and persistent buying of Colo ado & Southern gives color to the rumors that control of the road is sought. The sdmisslon of Chicago A Eastern Illinois Interests to the directory of the Evansvllle St Terre Haute Is accepted aa confirmatory of reports recently current of a consolida tion. With these two received examples as a basis rumors of many other absorptions and consolidations of minor railsnads re ceived ready credence. In the more Im portant stocks there was a resumption of Tuesday's rise in Brooklyn Transit on buy ing attriDutea to inside interest, nut wun out explanation. Chesapeake & Ohio and Norfolk St. Western were lifted on the re ports of the extraordinary demand for bituminous coal. There was support from Inside sources for Missouri Pacific, but the large liquidation continued In that stock, supposed to be the result of the recent death of a - large holder. Amalgamated Copper and Tennessee Coal were active but irregular, dui Dotn or tnese siocas enaea the day unchanged. The market as a whole continued sluscish and neglected. The dubious condition in which the North ern Securities company Is kept by the oendlnr-litlKatton aaainst It and the uncer tainties cr tne money ouuoog are amply sufllclent to account for this state of af fairs. The consultations now going on be tween those Interested In the Northern Se curities comnanv and the fact that some of the banks are Inclined to question the offerings of Northern Securities stock as collateral accentuate this feeling. The ox port today of $3,500,000 In gold afforded no apparent relief to the exchange market. In dicating that the gold went to meet, ma turing obligations abroad and that no ex change bills were sold against It. The drop in Chicago exchange 'to boc discount Indi cates clearly the pressure for currency at that point. Although no effect resulted in the New York money market the contlnu ance of such forces will cause higher money rates without rail. wanasn aenenture tin conunuea 10 over shadow the bond market, but they lost most or their gain in the late aeallngs.

All points had fairly liberal recelnta and Prices here dropped 6 inc. Trading was fairly active at the decline so-far as the better weight hogs were concerned and the bulk of the offerings was out of first hands In fairly gcod season. The light stuff, however, was drug on the market, and sellers found It a'niost Impossible In a good many cases to even get a bid on the underweight loads. Fur that reason the last end of the market was very slow snd weak and It was late before anything like a clearance was made. The bulk of the heavyweight hogs sold frcm to 99 to $6 06. medium welehla went from $5 .80 to $S90 and light stuff from $5.80 "own. Kepreaentatlve sales: No. A v. Sh. Pr. No. A v. Sh.

The better grades sold at just about steady prices and ewes of good quality In some cases were a little strong. Anything on the common order, however, whether sheep or lambs, was neglected and weak. The quality of the offerings as a whole was nothing extra, which doubtless had consld erable to do with the lack of activity. There were not enough feeders offered to make a test or the market, but It Is safe to say that anything at all good wouia nave sold at luuy steady prices.
