COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Grain Speculation ii Swayed by Weather Conditions. .CORN IS AGAIN ACTIVE AND STRONG Vlnl Ha Kerroas Dny, u Oala I: Are Active tni Somewhat I'neasy rraimoai titaei ana non Itreig Toaa. CHICAGO, Feb. 28.-Graln speculation raa swayed by the weather today. General atorma had an early bearish effect on wheat, but worked the opposite way with corn and wheat tradcra who aold ahort early were forced to cover. The close was: May wheat, (&c higher; May corn, c higher; May. lc advanced. Proviaiona closed 6tfi7o to 12o up. Corn was again active and strong and led In the advance that marked all trading-. Cables, small western acceptances over night and soma early buying; started bullish sentiment again. To this was added the Influence of the heavy ralna in the west, which would. It was argued, further Impoverish the country movement. South western markets were, not overburdened by corn offerings the receipts at . both Kansas City and 8L Loula being smaller than the shipments. Most of the prominent local speculators took to tha bull aids of the argument and the pit traders who aold early quickly recovered. Commission trade was In good volume and fairly divided. Cash people reported Liverpool markets out of line. There uu heavy selling- of long stuff aa the market advanced by local people who bought few days between 69c and 60c, but tha market suffered none by It; May opened c Mgher at 61c, touched 6134o and then steadily mounted to 2c, closing strong, 'itjfto higher at 62 2c. iteceipts ware 1VJ cars. Wheat opened less active and lower to day, but aoon began to feel the strength In corn and oats, and ruled very firm. Ca bles were disappointing and early offerings were met with low prices. The general rains and liberal northwestern receipts were additional bearish factors. Bears be gan selling short at tha outset. The gen era! business was not large, but St. Louis began turning; strong and the "crop killer" gain talked of damage In Kansas and Oklahoma. Statistical papers made favora ble reports of the crop condition, hut trad ers who had sold short became frightened when they saw tha spurta In oats and corn and covered. The southwest did some buy ing here, as did St. Louts. New York was reported selling. There waa some fear that the wheat movement mignt do retarded with corn because of the atorma. All told, the wheat market was nervous. May opened c lower to unchanged at 76c 76c, advanced to T7c and closed firm. H8 if) up at 76ftrrre. ijocai receipts were nineteen cars, nve or contract graae; xuin- making a total for the three points of 406 cars, against 610 last week and 842 a year ago. primary receipts were oiz.ouu oueneis, compared with 476.000 bushels a year ago. Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour equaled 886,000 bushels. Argentine snip ments were 517.000 bushels, compared with 824,000 bushels the corresponding week last year. There was no export business re ports. Oats were active and shorts manifested nervousness over the prospects of further curtailed movement. Receipts were only eighty-nine cars. There waa a good com mission house demand early and aome pro fessional bulling. The corn strength also had a strengthening- effect. Cash people bought freely. There was liberal selling at top prices, but the general tone held strong. May advanced from 43o to 44c and closed lc higher at 44Uc. Provisions made up some more of their recent losses and held to a strong tone. Lighter receipts and better prices at tha ?ards Influenced a higher opening- and a air commission house demand and the train strength advanced prices well English houses did some selling.

SEVERE STORM STILL HAVE AN EFFECT Ceicala Opes the Week -with a De rided Readies, Which Is Followed fcy the Csstosnary Recovery Pallarcs Arc Larger. NEW YORK, Feb. 28. R. O. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will say: Although the shortest month was further curtailed by two holidays and handicapped oy tne most severe storms oi me winter Industrial and trade results were most satisfactory. The closing week brought a general resumption of activity In lines that sutfered from the weather and preparation ror an exceptionally neavy spring Dusiness was reported at many points, southern cities alone being backward. insufficient motive power ana Da a weather combined to restrict the movement of coke from Connellsvlile and pig Iron production suffers at a time when a maxi mum output would not be excessive. This difficulty effected trade all along the line. Pressure for structural material Is already severe and will probably be still more so as the regular building season drawa nearer. Further hardening of quotations Is re ported and Inquiries for delivery In 1903 are not exceptional. More foreign steel has been engaged and domestic concerns are still bidding In the German market. Footwear buyera are leaving New Eng land without doing much more than a fair sample business outside special lines. Makers of cotton goods are very cautious about undertaking future deliveries, owing to tne uncertainty aa to la Dor ana raw ma terial. Export orders are still available, but at prices slightly below the views of holders. Aa a rule woolen goods are well maintained and In brisk demand, but new linea of heavyweights are not aought. Cereals opened the week with a decided reaction. As usual, speculative liquidation carried tha decline too far, and there fol lowed the customary recovery. Wheat came Into sight rather mora freely than a year ago and the Atlantic shipment of flour made a better comparison in the preceding week, but the exports of wheat from the United States, flour Included, were but 8.185,062 bushels, against 4,324,249 bushels a year ago. Corn showed the customary loss In both movements, receipts amounting to only 2,312.864 bushels, against 4,849,783 Inst year, while Atlantic coast shipments were 184,682 bushels, compared with 3,41,682 In the same week of 1901. Cotton rules fairly steady at the recent advance, which at tracted more liberal marketing at the south, but supplies In first handa are re- ?orted very low. Wool has been taken less reely by mills, but dealers show no lack of confidence In the future of that staple. Failures for the week numbered 216 In the United States, against 179 last year, and 36 In Canada, against 81 last year. WEEKLY CLEARING HOTJSB TAB LB.

Iron and ateel are quieter on the surface hot rimiiimntlon remains undiminished Short auDoiles of coke are still complained of In the west and furnaces are being banked for thia reason, but the output of pig Iron haa been larger thla week than for some time past.

Among the metals copper has displayed some strength this wee, rnces snow imie ini Dortant change during the week.

Market Drit(rfl Dowsvrsrd by Proa pert of Heavy Calls t lo Banks. . NEW YORK, Feb. 28. The foreenst of the bank statement and the prospect of additional heavy requirements upon New York bank reserves overcame the market today and dragged pricea downwards. The decline toward the latter part of the trad ing showed more consistency than any previous movement durtjig the week. Pr'ces of all classes of stocks were alike affected, both the minor specialties, among which there had been some show of sttength earlier In the day, and the leading standard stocks, which had lain Inert until the selling movement began. Tha liqui dation was not urgent and showed no signs of being forced, but It was evident that It was thought best to be prepared for con tingencies In the money market and take In all sail possible. The preliminary fig ures of the week's cash movement as usually published on Friday, which In cluded the known movement of money up to Thursday night, Indlcatea that the banks have lost nearly 16.000.000 In ca.ih during the week. The exports of gold called ex actly for 83.bl3.823. The routine suoireas ury operations took $2,893,117. The regular expresa movement with the Interior was In favor of New York to the extent of less than $1,000,000. and today there was de posited at the subtreasury $500,000 for tranarer to Chicago, whicn wouia aooui wipe out the earlier gain by the banks. The loan item remains In the usual ob scurity, but there has been no Important stock market liquidation. Syndicate sub scriptions to the glucose and starch com- Dination have been called, and there is tt possibility that the gold exports represent the paying off of foreign obligations and their transfer to local banks, as was the case with the last gold that went out. There la no great hope, therefore, of any thing but a very weak bank return to morrow. Beyond that the persistent dim ness of the foreign exchange market In dicates that further gold will go out by export next week, The first deposit at the subtreasury for transfer to the west Is generally accepted as the sign of the turn ing movement ofurrency away from New iorx aaam to meet' tne usual snrino- re quirements In the Interior. New York ex change at Chicago, however, recovered, to day from 60c discount to 20c discount. Tne request to the treasury authorities for ner- mission to deposit gold In New York, to De drawn on at Han Francisco, foreshadows a iurtner movement, which promises to reach nearly $16,000,000 and which Is con nected with syndicate payments for street railway properties. With surplus reserves of the banks last Saturday down to the modest showing of $12,456,650 the money outlook seems somewhat formidable for speculators on margin who are dependent upon tne can loan market ror accommo dation with which to carry their holdings. On the other hand, March Interest and dividend disbursements will be unnrece- dentedly large this year, estimates of the amount running to $67,000,000. The specu lators, however, evidently took the view mat caution was aesiranm and their anM their holdings. The day'a losses run over point ror some of the Important stocks. The bond market was dull and moved rery narrowly. Total sales, par value, $3,230,000. The Commercial Advertiser's London. nnanciar cablegram says: The settlement waa successfully completed today, but the puuno laiiea 10 respond. ine general stock market stagnation which Is quite likely to last until after Easter. Kaffirs, however, spurted on the street after the close of the exchange on news of the cap ture of 600 Boers, Including De wet's son. American shares asleep. Copper fell 1 iu &d ia ou uie ton in anticipation Of bad settlement aa to statistics on Monday, Connor stocks were unaffected.

LONDON. Feb. 28. SuDDllea of monev were rather more plentiful today and the demand for month-end requirements was active. Discounts were slightly easier. Business on the Stock exchana-e was ex tremely Inactive and prices were Irregular. Consols were fairly steady. Home rails sagged; Americans were Irregular and had a aownwara tenaency; tney were mostly slightly below parity, but afterward grew firmer In spots on professional support and closed quiet. Rio ttntos recovered some what at the opening. Copper was easier and cloaed at 66; Kaffirs were Inclined to harden. The passage of the settlement without any trouble resulted In a more cheerful tone In the Kaffir section and a disposition to transact business. The war news favorably artected the mining mar ket curb business (after the close of the market). Kaffirs were strong at d above the regular closing- prices of the day. Gold premiums are quoted as follows: Buenos Ay res, 142.30; Madrid, 86.37; Lis bon, 29. PARIS, Feb. 28. Prices of stocks opened firm on the bourse today, especially Rio tintos and Brazilians, the latter owing to continued improvement In exchange. Kaffirs commenced rather dull and finished weak.

There waa an active demand thla morning for all the better grades, so that It did not take long for sellers to disDose of what they had on hand. A gooa proportion or tne onenngs 01 mis morning consisted of beef steers, and the quality was better than it haa been of late. Cattle sold as high aa $6.16 and $6 30, which are the hlgheat prices paid In soma little time. Packers all seemed to be anx ious for both the good cattle and also the medium grades, so that the market waa active and firm all around, t The cow market continued active today and the pricea paid were fully as good as they were yesterday. As a general thing, however, there was not much change In values. The good stuff continued In the best demand, but while that waa true the canners and medium grades were better sellers than they were a few days ago, and in a gooa many canes me prices paid looked a little stronger. There was very little variation today In the market for bulls, veal calves and ataga. Anything good sold freely at firm nricea. The commoner grades were not In as good request, out sun tney srougnt steady prices. There were only a few stockers and feed. ers offered today, and aa there has been a good demand rrom tne country all the week sellers had no trouble In disposing of what they had at steady prices. This prevented the slump In valuea that usually takes place at the cloae of the week. Representative-sales: BEEJT BTJSlfiRS. Av. Pr. No. Av.
