MAY WHEAT CLOSES SOMEWHAT HIGHER Corn and Oats Alio tin I p, While Pro visions F.nd Daf Firm, Two and One-Half C ent Lower o Shade Better. CHICAGO, Feb. . The trade In wheat was moderately active today and on bullish new the market ruled firm. May closing c higher. May corn man a shad higher, while oats wre up V,'c. Provisions eloped steady with the May products from 272Hc lowr to a shade higher. The unexpected strength to cables caused a strong opening In whl and undor free covering May Bold to 794c alter opening W'hHc higher at TyQ'Oc. The smaller Ar gentine shipments for the week, 1.724.HW bushels, where a total of l.fifiO.Ono haa been expected, created some anxiety among ahorti and waa partly responsible for trie early buying from that source. Ixical longs took advantngo of the bulge to dis pose of considerable stuff, and In conse quence a reaction followed. Reports of buying at the seaboard for shipment to France were a help late In the session and the market responded readily. May again selling up to 79'c. The close was steady to firm, with May He higher at 79V1; pri mary receipts were a bull factor, being mailer than of late, at 495.00 bushels against S26.O1) a year ago. The weather was favorable and crop advlcea were bear lah. Bradstreet'a report on the export of wheat and flour for the week showed n total equal to $.916,000 bushe'.s, compared with 4.4i.O.OOO bushels last week and 4,xiVMG bushels a year ago. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 475.0UO bhahels. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 304 cars, which with local receipts of 30 cars none of contract grade made total receipts for the three points of 334 cars agnlnst 302 cars a week ago and 275 cars last year. Corn acted In sympathy with' the ad vance with wheat, but when the price of May had reached 45c there was considera ble selling by commission houses, which prevented further advance. The trade In general waa only fair and was only for local account. Dullness prevailed the lat ter part of the session and the close strong, with May a shade higher at 44V?, after selling between 44c and 45c. Local receipts were 210 cars, with none of con tract grade. Oats ruled atrong, but the volume of trade was rather small, the offerings being light. The strength of other grains wn an early factor. Local longs were disposed to take profits and part of the advance waa lost, but late In the day there waa re newed demand and the close waa near the top. May closed "V&Wc higher at 37U37MiC, after ranging between 36c and 31c, the top price for the crop. Local recelpta were lftK ears. Trovlslons were dull and the sentiment was rather bearish although opening prices were a trifle higher on a fair demand for pork and ribs. Iocals were Ixarlah in their mood and disposed to sell, with sell ing by atock yarda people a feature. May nnrV waa unchanged at $16.75. May lard closed 2Vc lower at $9.37H, while ribs were a shade nigner ea.ia. The leading futures ranged as follows: Artlcles.l Open. I Hlgh. Low. Close. Tes'y Wheat Feb. May July Corn Feb.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6. Today's stock mar ket fell back into dullness and the price level yielded. ' Then were some profeselona of depressed feeling over the prjspect of a weak oank return and over tne upward course of sterling exchange. The hitch In the proceedings in the settlement of the vexed Venesuelan question induced some selling here for London account and added another nominal reason for the reaction But the obvious fact was that the activity and apparent strength of yesterday cov ered large realizing operations by the pro fessional leaders of the market who have conducted this week's campaign for a rise. Their buying and their more demonstrative bidding for stocks, which have been a fea ture of this week, were lacking today. When It was perceived 'that this support was relaxed mm traders offered prices tiown and round vulnerable spots. The selling was not urgent, but long continued, and the buying to cover by room shorts caused som recovery from the lowest. The closing, however, was heavy and very dull. i ne week s subtreasury requirement. which amounted to 86.360.000. nave bven offset by receipts from the Interior, which seem to be less than 83,000, so that tnj banks have lost cash during the week to the extent of upward of $3,000,000. The loss to tne subtreasury was more tnan niur ac counted for by last Saturday's payment to the egovernment of a Central Pacific note. but the government operations have taken sum dally from the money market. The condition of the money market has been nevertheless one of growing ease and the demand even for time money has shown a (ailing off at the rates asked by the bunks. Tne growing ease or money is probably the truly real ground for the upward course of sterling exchange. with the increasing accommodations in New York there Is every Inducement for thoHe who have borrowed abroad tojjay off their maturing obligation!. Export authorities in tne roreign ex change market affirm that the extent to which this process has been carried since tne nrst or tne year in tar ueyona sny public comprehension. There is excellent authority for asserting also that a growing disposition Is manliest. especially In Vrance, to Invest In American securities. This procees ts not perceived In tne stock market and probably does not involve the old and seasoned securities which figure In the international markets and which are at a price level to Increase selling, rather than buying by foreigners, it la said in possible explanation of the French buying of securities that It leprestnts reinvest ment In anticipation of the payment which Is to be made to 1'anama canal harehold- ers by the United States government. There were few features in touay s market, i ne Wisconsin Centra: stocks were bought on rumors of changing control. Amalgamate! Copper snowed strength In face of the re actionary market and there were advances In a number of low-priced Industrial stock. The rise in Hocking Valley was supposed to be connected with the undisclosed plan for the disposition of that property. Other wise the leading active stocks move pretty uniformly with the reactionary tendency. The bond market was quite brond and ac tive, but Irregular In tone, Total sales, par value. $3,600,000. 1 United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

Hobnlck xee Rothschild Werthelmer Other buyers CATTLE There was a much heavier run of cattle here today than anyone expected and in fact receipts were the heaviest they have been on a Friday ' In several weeks. As a result the market was very slow and lower and It was late before scarcely any cattle changed hands. .. There were a good many beef steers in the yards and the quality was about the same as It has been of late. Buyers did not start, out until the middle of the foie r.oon and their tlds were so much lower that nothing was sold for some time. The i-ales that were made, could sately is quoted a dime lower than yesterday on the average. There was. of course, considerable unevennesa, as Is generally the case when prices have been going down as rapidly as they have of late. At noon there were StUI a good many cattle In first oa.ids. The cow market was also very slow and fully a dime lower than yesterday. All kinds were affected and as sellers did not like the Idea of taking off another dime after the big decline of yesterday It was late before many cattle went over the scales. Buyers, though, did not seem to care whether they got any cattle or not, so that salesmen had to take the prices offered or carry the cattle over until Saturday. Bulls also had to sell lower iivsympathyj with the decline on cows and heifers, but 1 there was not much change In veal calves. 1 There were not very many stockers and feeders on sale, but as is generally the vase 1 on a rnoay, nuyers aia not want many rattle, so that those that were offered had to sell a little lower than the prices paid yesterday.

The quality of the offerings was only lair and was not up to the usual standard. Wethers, however sold as high sa 34.90, which looked a little stronger. There were no prime Ismhs offered so that the sales on paper look low. Packers claim they are not getting enough good lambs to fill their orders, and that they could use a good many more to good ad vantage. There was quite a string of feeders on sale, but the demand was equal to the oc casion nnd the prices paid were steady to strong.
