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

The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says: - Attention on the
Slock exchange was absorbed In the settle
ment and there was considerable anxiety
lest difficulties might be encountered In the
Kamr section, put notning aappenea save
scattered liquidation by weak holders,
which may continue tomorrow. Then It la
probable that there will be a rally. At
tendance on the floor was thin today and
business was practically nil. American
dealers were skylarking most of the time
and the leading arbitragers' total dealings
were Ave Wabash bonds and 430 shares of
stock. Amsterdam bought a small amount.
Gold to the amount of 30.000 has gone
out to South America. Money rates rule
steady. The returns of the Bank of Eng
land shows a marked porrowing ot ta.axj,-
000. The revenue collection amounts to
1,250,000. There Is not likely to be any
marked freedom until the April dividends,
as the market debt to the bank amounts
to 8,000,000, which even government dis
bursements can hardly liquidate.

HOGS The downward course of the hog
market continued today. 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

SHEEP There was not
sheep and lambs here today, but the da.
mand on the part of packers did not seem
to be of large proportions, and as a re
sult the market -was a little slow. 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.
