WAY WHEAT AND CORN BOTH RISE EIGHTH Oat Drop Miabtlr, t Provisions Go tp from Dime to Quarter After thorrlne; Great Strengtk All Dar. CHICAGO. Feb. 16 There wan quite gen eral liquidation In the grain pita todny, but a better feelltg riovelniwd toward the end of the session and wheat closed strong, with May c higher. May corn was up Sifie, but oat were Wn'c lower. Pro vision were strong and the May products .closed from 10c to zJV'-c higher. There was little oumlde buying In wheat, the trade being mostly local, and even that wan of a hesitating character. TI.ere was a disposition among longs to sell out and the selling for short account wa quite pronounced. Cable were barely steady, which caused the market to open at about unchanged prices, May being a shade lower to a shade, higher at n'g:llc. The weather conditions were bearish, snow being re ported over the greater portion of the winter wheat belt, and an Increase of 641,00ft bu. In the visible supply also added to the selling pressure, and with little sup port prices declined. May selling off to TiMiC The weakness continued the greater part of tha day but toward the end of the seaslon there waa fair buying for eastern account, and short covered freely, which brought about a rally. t?ie close be ing strong, with May He higher at 7M 77V after selling up to TTHc. Clearance of wheat and flour were equal to I6S.011O bu. Primary receipts were 70. bu., against fta.ono a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipt of 644 cars, which, with local receipt of 27 car, one of contract grade, made total receipts for the three point of 473 ca.-s. against TS6 cars last week and 455 can. a year ago. Corn held fairly steady for a time, but cased off In sympathy with the weakness In other grains. There waa but little fea ture to the trading, which was rather weak. As price gradually weakened con siderable long came out, and there was alco tree selling for the short account. A better feeling waa manifested later In the day on a good cash and export demand, while the late strength In wheat also aided the upturn. The close was strong, with May H'aHc higher at 45Hfi45,c; after elllng between 4Vci44c and 4f4c. Local receipts were 408 cars, none contract. Oata suffered a sharp decline early In the session, as a result of the general selling by discouraged holders, and on lack of support. Liberal receipts and the Increas ing tendency of stocks tended to Induce free selling. Bhorts covered on the breaks and a rallv occurred late In the day. In sympathy with wheat, the close being about steady with May off Hfac at 364c, after ranging between 36c and 3614c. toc.nl re elpte were 339 cars. Provisions were remarkably strong, espe cially the July deliveries. Scarcity of hogs and the small stocks of provisions were the principal bull factora. Shorta wero active hover, throughout the day and there also was a fair demand from local operators, Including the packing Interests.

There were also evidences of re newed support by the bull clique that has recently become prominent In connection with the May position.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16 There was a nntanle shifting of speculative Interest to day from the railroad list Into the spe claltlen. Most of the stocks embraced In the day's movement were Industrials, but there were a few railroad and other stocks Included which do not titrure In the usual activity of the market. The standard rail road stocks were quite Arm, but this waa evidently due to sympathy with the ad vances In the Industrials. There was some special strength In Wabaeh preferred, which was due to bjylng by the Interests which have recently sustained that stock. The railroad list as a whole was conspicu ous' lor tht small volume of transactions In It and foi the sluggishness of Its move ment. The several Industrials which rose today did not move In concert and In most enses separate exolanntions were offered for the mrer. mh of each. But It was evident that tl.elr movement In genera! was due to a speculative theory on the part of profes sio:ial operators that the futility of oper ators to advance railroad Mocks had been demonstrated by IhsI week's events, and the Industrials offered the only hopeful Held for higher prices as the result of the continued favorable business advices from all quarters. 80 far as the news waa re sponsible for the day's movement In Sugar was duo to the advance In the price of the grunu.ated product; In Amalgamated to the continued rise In copper In London; In United States Steel to reports of heavy orders on hand; In Leather preferred to revived rumors of a plan for funding the accumulated dividends, and so on for ether stocks. Call loan rates continued easy, but time lo.na were quoted a fraction hlcher, and there la a disinclination on the part of lenders to put out funds on time at present rates. It Is expected that heavy corporate requirements, lncludlnr railroad bond and stock Issues, will make early requisitions upon the money supply. The advance in sterling was checked here, but the rate de clined In Paris and private discount rate there rose to 3 per cent, which was per haps the most significant development in the money fituation. It could not be learned, however, that any definite step could bo taken toward the export of gold this week. Opinions at first were somewhat mixed oyer the effect of the severe weather In the west, but the dedlr. which devel oped in the wheat market Indicated the conviction that the snow covering provided for the crop afforded security for Its safety. The weekly statistics of railroad trafllc showed some Improvement In the conditions for moving freight, although much ob struction is still reported. The foreign trade platement for January attracted some attention on account of the high level of te value of our imports wfclch is disclosed. The Increase In lm.Krts contin ues to more than offset the renewed in crease In exports ,on account of the revival of the export of corn compared with last year. The net result Is a continued de cline In the value, of the foreign trade bal ance in our favor as compared with last year. The market closed dull and steady. The market for bonds maintained a steadv tone. Total sales, par value, $685,000. United States bond were all unchanged on the last call.

Owing to the activity a fairly ea.rly clear ance waa made. About the usual .proportion of cornfed steer wa Includta In the offerings this morning, but buyer started out in good season and the market ruled active and steady to strong. Packers apparently were all anxious for supplies and In some places the more desirable grades brought prices that looked a little nigner man tnose 111 force at the close of last week, but as a general thing the situation could best be described by calling the market steady to strong. The demand for cows and neirers was also In good shape and the market was active, with prices steady to strong as compared with the cIobo of last week. All kinds sold ireeiy, canners ana cutters as well as the better grades of cornfeds. In suite of the fact that a good proportion of the recelpta cons'gted of cow stuff, a reason ably early clearance was made. Bulls were a lime easier 10 sen man they were toward tha close of last week, but there was not mucn cnange in me prices paid. Veal calves were in good de mand at fully steady pricea. There was quite a sprinkling of stockers and feeders in the receipts this morning. but the demand waa equal to the occasion and lust about steady prices were paid. The better the quality the eaaler the cattle were to sell, but still even ine common stuff and the warmed-up cornfeds sold in about the same notches they did at the close of last week.

The advance, however, was rather uneven and could be quoted all the way from 5c to loc. Th? heavyweight hogs sold lurgely from P'So to lloo and the medium weights from S5.90 to $6.96. while the very light and common stuff sold from $t.90 down. Trading was not very active, as packers did not like to pay the advance, so that It took some Utile time for the bulk of the offerings to change hands. The late sales, though, were about the same as those made earlier In the day, there being very little change In the market from start to finish. Toward the close of the market the feeling did not seem to be quite as good and the last hogs had to sell a shade easier than fhose sold earlier In the day. Representative ale: No. AV.

Puckers all seemed to have liberal orders, ami us a result there waa not enough to go aroui I'nder those, condi tions it only took t. ..w minutes for prac tically everythiiiK to change hands. The quality of the offerings waa hardly as good as usual, so the market on paper doe not show the advance. Some western lambs of only fair quality sold as high as 36.15, and some fair ewes brought $4.30. The same as has been the case for aome little time, there were not enough feeder to make a good test of the market.
