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.
The close waa strong, with May pork ISVird)

In the market today. 1 ne demand was ac
tive. Discounts were quiet and ttrm. Gold
bills were taken cautiously, In view of the
prospects or considerable exports of gold
to South America. A lair amount of busi
ness was transacted on the Stock exchange
notably In American and Canadian securi
ties. Home rails were generally steady,
Consols were easier. Colonials were ile
preeed on account of alarmist reports re
garding Australia s nnam-ial poxttlon,
which caused nervous holders to realize.
Home rails hardened on some outside sup
port. Americans opened irregular. 1m
proved mostly to above parity, were mod
erately active and clotted steady. Grand
Trunk was continued In demand. De Beers
were weak on sccount of feura of the l8
of the monopoly. Bullion amounting to
40,000 sterling was withdrawn from the

Market Shift from Railways to pe
elaltlea and Indnstrlals Rise.
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.

CATTLE The week ODened with a fairly
liberal run of cattle, but as the demand
was In good shape on the part of packers
and feeder buyers the general market ruled
active, wltn prices steady to strong as
compareu 'with the close of last week.
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. Representative sales:
No.

HOGS There wns a good run of hog
here today for a Monday, but as the local
demand was in good vhapc and advices
from other point were favorable to the
selling Interests the market here opened a
little higher. 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.

SHEEP There was only a fair run of
sheep here this morning, but several car
were reported back. The market opened
very active and H"iil5c higher than the close
of last week. 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.
