OMAHA WHOLESALE MABKET.
CHICAOO, Feb. 20. Quletress prevailed
In the grain pita today and after ruling
ateaoy tne greater part of the day wheat
cloned firm, with May Vn'.c higher. May
corn waa c. higher, while oato were up
Uc. Provision ruled easier and the May
products closed from Mi lc lower.
The early wheat market waa a disap
pointment to the bulls In view of the strong
cables and small receipts In the northwest.
The opening prices were eaaler, with May
a shade higher to '("4C lower at 77V
77c. the weakness at the start being at
tributed to the lack of confirmation ot the
European war news circulating among
tradei-s late yesterday, resulting from a
decline In English consols. There waa little
of Interest In the trading the first half .of
the session and the market held steady,
fluctuations being confined within a narrow
limit. May selling between 77Mji7Ve and
57c. Smaller Argentine shipment than
lad been estimated, small clearances and a
fair export demand caused a better feeling
later and a fair demand from commission
houses developed, which advanced May to
77e. The close was firm, with May H3"e
higher at 77Sc. Clearances of wheat and
liour were equal to 39,200 bushels. Brad
street's showed exports of wheat and flour
for the week of 2,711,000 bushels, agalnat
a,60IMM bushels a year ago. Primary re
ceipts were 417,000 bushels, against 626,000 a
year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
receipts of a22 cars, which with local re
ceipts of 9 cars, 1 of contract, made total
receipts for the three points of 331 cars,
agalnat 787 last week and 617 a year as".
Corn was firm on continued light receipts
end provjelon people bought freely of July.
There was also some demand for May from
commission houses, chiefly In the way of
covering of short salea. Local longs dis
posed of part of their holdings and the
market reacted, but another advance oc
curred late In the day on the strength In
wheat. The close was firm, with May 14c
higher at 45ti(&4(c, after selling between
45-c and 46c. Local receipts were 209
cans, with none of contract grade.
Oats were In good demand at the start,
with shorts the best buyers. Local traders
also favored the buying side. The conse
ntient rise In prices caused longs to liqui
date quite freely and a decline followed.
The late firmness In other grains helped
oats and the close was flrm, with May He
higher at 3fc7c, after ranging between 3oVj
and &7Vutoc. Local receipts were 59 cars.
Provisions started out strong In sym-
ftathy with an advance of from 10c to 15c
n the price of hoga, but the whole list re
acted later On profit-taking by longs.
Packing Interests were also free sellers
throughout the day. . The close was easy,
with May pork loo lower at $17.50. May
lard was 7Vii'l"c lower at $9.55 and ribs were
off 6c. closing at ft. 60.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
ZO cars; corn, 34a cars; oats, 146 cars; nogs,

Immeolat com Itljn Ip the money market
It is realized that lnre corporate require
ments are ahead of the market and this
hns helped to repress borrom-lng tor any
larse speculative commitments In the stock
market. A divisional bond Iseue for over
tn.ioi.iMi by the Atchison, the l.arkawanna
ejteel compr.ny's l...io,o.o bond Issue snd
rumors ot a large collateral securtt; Issue
by the Louisville A Nashville have been
the immediate developments to give point
to this factor. Some of the stocks In which
further Issues are Impending have been
under pressure In spite of the prospect of
subscription rights to stockholders likely
to accne. 'ihis selling is attributed In
s me quarters to a supposition that It rep
resents s:tles In anticipation of the new
stock to be Iretied. Bv other observers It
Is attributed to dissatisfaction with the in
creased dividend requirements which will
be placed on earnings, and In some cases
to the fear that the proposed expenditures
will prove Inrpely unproductive. This Is es.
petially true of expenditures for Improve
ments due (o munlclis! requirements of
various kinds.
The depressing effect of these proposed
aridltlonni capital issues is htrui)t.iy on
trasted with the speculative excitement
caused by former projects during the era
of combination and community ot Interest.
The tact that the congestion of railroad
traffic plainly points to thj necessity lor
outlay for Improvements and betterment
generally seems Insufllclent to recommend
me new plans to buyers of stocks. It must
be remembered, however, that the capital
Issues toward the former vast projects fo,
cc.nsolldatlons provided for the payment of
dazzling prices for the securities of slv
sorbed properties which were still quoted
in the market. The violent advances In
prices thus Induced were the powerful
stimulant to the speculation which swept
the whole market during that period. While
he current series of capital Issues provide
or expenditures upon the substantial bet
erment of the properties concerned, and
might be supposed to appeal more favorably
o the investment class, tney cause no sucn
lolent stimulation to prices by projectt for
buying other properties at prices far above
the prevailing market level.
The bond market has been dull and ir
regular.

as compared with the closing call of last

CHfCAGO. Feb. 20. WHEAT The
strength shown In the wheat ma&ket has
been quite a puszle in view of the bearish
news. Total wheat and flour clearances
today were only 35,000 bu. and for the week
2,713.0(0 bu. The weather is favorable and
Modern Miller says there has been no harm
done by the recent cold spell, but that the
snow covering nas improved, rather than
Impaired the prospects. English cables
were up only a fraction and Paris was Vc
lower. Export houses here say the demand
is slow irom all directions. Minneapolis,
however, reported a sharp milling demand
at increasing premiums. New York re
ported 18 loads taken for export. Argentine
snipments aid not prove as large as ex
pected, although much larger than last
year, i.728,(.0O bu., against 6M.000 last year.
Primary receipts were 417,000 bu.. against
626,000 last year. Primary shipments were
126.000 bu., against 240,000 last year. North
west receipts were 322 cars, against 506 a
year ago. local receipts were nine cars,
with one contract. Estimates for Saturday,
20 cars. There were no suggestions ot war
fears from abroad. The New York market
showed relative strength, however, and
our market here rallied on New York buy
ing. CORN The market has been firm, with
out any great speculative trade. The range
has bee.i narrow, but prices at thvlr best
were 4c over Thursday. The feature
has been continued buylrg by the provision
Interests. There wss also some covering
of early sales. The cash market waa un
changed. It Is said with a few days of
pleasant weather there will be larger ar
rivals here of corn delayed by the storm.
Receipts today were 2o9 cars, with none
contract. Estimates for tomorrow, 345 cars.
Nothing reported sold east todsy. but there
were 2,'AOOO bu. sold late yesterday. New
York reports from 30 to 33 loads taken for
export. Clearances, "(T.OOO bu. ; for the week,
2.739.ou bu.
OATS The feature In oats waa the sell
ing of about 1,000.000 bu. by Patten and the
remarkable circumstance was that after
that the market recovered It all. The
Patten sel'lng was said to be on Information
that a good many oats were headed this
way, delayed by the storm, and likely to
come with a rush after a few days of
milder weather. The east Is sending but
few bids. Receipts, however, are small and

Unconflrmed Rnnsora Lead Sharp
Rally. Aided by London Cablea.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-The failure of the
confirmation of the rumors concerning the
Metropolitan Street Railway company cir
culated yesterday led to a prompt "very
of prices of stocks this morning. The de
nial by W. C. Whitney that he had sold
any of the stock within six months con
vinced tne operators mm yco.j-iuo, o
h.j aiihlnct In a raid bv the dls-
semination of Inventors. Toe short sellers
of yesterday hastened to cover and helped
the rally. The recovery In Metropolitan
utTut Daiiwar waa esoeclally pronounced.
Tho strength In Amalgamated Copper
pointed to some uncovered short Interest.
This stock was helped by the strength of
the metal market, which waa marked In
London. It waa notable also that the re
covery In futures there exceeded that for
spot copper, thus establishing a premium
again for futures as compared with a dis
ccunt for some time past. New York Cen
tral seemed to feel the benefit of the addi
tional subway projects for New York and
also the authorised denial of recent rumors
that the company Is selling treasury stock
In the market against a future issue. But
the feature of the early market was the
St. Louis ft San Francisco stocks. The
nmmnn man 4. the first Dreferred 64i. the
second preferred 4 and Kansas City, Fort
Scott & Mempnis preierrea . .me iuiiu
in v bonds were also in demand at advanc
lng prices. Many reports have been circu
lated recently cf a" coming consolidation of
this property with some other large railroad
viipm the most recent story pointing to
the Southern Railway. Nothing authentic
on the development In the property was
dlnclosed d'jrlna the dav.
Durinar the afternoon the Wabash stocks
came Into prominence, the preferred ad
vancing 2i after an announcement that
wages had been advanced on the system
west of the Mississippi. It seemed to be
assumed that this would avoid the strike
which has been dreaded recently. Other
Gould stocks and southwesterns generally
advanced In sympathy. Mlssourf Pacific
was also helped by the Increase of over
$SOO,000 In December net earnings. Reports
of railroad gross earnings for the second
week In February were good without ex
ception. The advance In refined sugars
neiped American sugar, and special de
velopments were responsible for advances
In other individual stocks. 1 ne market
closed quite active and at about the best.
There seemed to be a genera) conviction
that tomorrow's bank statement will be a
poor one. The movement of currency haa
been away from New York, especially to
New Orleans, so that a net loss In cash of
nearly $2.ou0.000 Is indicated on the known
movements of money It la Intimated also
that there may have oeen some withdraw
als of deposits by trust companies, possibly
as a beginning of the recuperation of their
reserves as required by the clearing house
rule. The loan Item will also be watched
with Interest, as the volume of loans last
Saturday was already within $2,000,000 of
the high record of the clearing house bunks
on March 1, 190Z. Time money continued
to advance and the reaction in sterling a
Paris made the export of gold next wee
more probable.
The bond market was Irregular. Total
sales, par value, z,(Co.wjo.
The principal feature of the stock mar
ket this wtek has been the continued in
difference and neglect on the part of the
general investment and a specuu tlve pub
lie. Attempts were made to contest thl
condition early this week by undertaken
a campaign for a rise In the Industrials,
Quite a number of this c ss of securitlei
were successively advanced on Mond:i'
without any definite news to account for
their rise. .
But the attempt to move the Industrials
or to attract outside Interest In them
proved abortive and was .abandoned by
Tuesday. A dropping tendency of prices.
due to the Inanimation of the market, lot
lowed and gave way to a sharp decline on
Thursday, when clear Indication of raiding
tactics by an undlacloeed betr party be
came manifest. Support was developed by
the raid. The clear demonstration that
selling to realise brought out an advance,
while sharp oVcllnee Induced support, tends,
to the stability of the market and dis
courages s;eculatlve ventures. The ap
proach of the three-day holiday was an
additional Influence in deterring operator
from making new ventures hi sOiks. The
course of the exchange market was atten
tively watched and lis fluctuations toward
or away from the gold export point had an
effect upon the speculative sentiment in
the market. Exchange has reached the
fold export level during the week and the
act that nj exports were made was attrib
uted to the lack of quick transportation
facilities which added to the Interest
charges Involved In the movmiiit of gold.
Money has been stringent In London, but
tne advance In sterling at Paris and Berlin
In response snows that caplU.1 from these
renters Is attracted to London, thus reliev
ing the pressure upon New York. The
problem of gold exports from New York
seeme to depend upon the continued re
sponse of the continental .centers to the
needs of (he lxndon money market. Rates
for money In New York have advanced ap
preciably for time loans. The demand for
New Orleans on account of the cotton spec
ulation and the absorption on subtreasury
account have been factore.
The rWe lu money rates tends to en
courage the renewal of luana, the repay

cattle also were in gooa uciubhu v

It paya better to buy the cheaper claae
than those that have been selling from
11 Tt. to 15.00.
The cow market was active and stronger
on cutters and the better grades of corn
feds. For the week the market on that
class of cattle Is fully 25c higher and In
some places more. Canners. however, have
been rather neglected all the week and
have not shown any Improvement. Today
they were rather slow sale, with prices
about steady. Trading was brisk from

SHEEP There were only a few bunchee
of sheep and lambs In the yards this morn
ing and the market could safely be quoted
active and steady to strong. There were
no strictly choice lambs offered and In fact
there have been none here In a 'onf time,
so that It Is hard to tell what a finished
bunch would bring. Some Just fair lambs
this morning sold for $0.45. Western year
lings sold for $5.50 and some ewes brought
$4.25. Trading waa active and everythlr g
was disposed of In good season.
There were no feeders offered again to
day, so that a test of the market was not
made. It Is safe to say, though, that any
thing decent would have sold freely at good
steady prices.

Secretary Hester's statement of the
world's visible supply cf cotton shows a
total vlRlble supply of 4,034,343 bales, against
4.493,841 last year. Of this total the Ameri
can cotton Is 2,487,843 hales.
NEW YORK. Feb. 20.-COTTON-Market
opened flrm at an advance of 4ruM nolnis
under continued response to much higher
Liverpool cables than expected, the Eng
lish market at the time of the New York
opening being 8(jl0 point higher for fu
tures, while spot cotton was 14 points
higher and was reported In good demand.
While there was considerable liquidation,
the local market for a time ruled steady,
though without showing any material gain
from the opening figure. At midday, how.
ever, there was a halt In demand for shorts
and the profit-taking was continued on an
active scale, while there appeared to be
salea for the short account on the theory
that after so prolonged an advance a reac
tion was due. The weakness was felt Iti
the New Orleans market and the market
at Liverpool also became easier, closing
barely steady at an advance of fi'-tblO
points. The receipts, which were originally
estimated at 21.000 bales for the tiay, also,
exceeded estimates, footing up 27.961 bales.
Estimates for tomorrow's movement to
leading points proved disappointing to the
bulls, tinder this selling prices broke PffJ
14 points on the active months. The In
sight figures were slightly below expecta
tions, showing 194.AS3 hales, against 213.442
for this week last year, but Its figures pro
duced little effect on sentiment. Toward
the close, however, there was a rally of $
4(0 points on the more Important positions
as a result of the renewed covering, and
the market was finally barely steady, with
prices points lower to 2 higher. Total
sales of futures estimated at 600,000 bales.
