Center of attraction on the Hoard of Trad,-
.today and that market was decidedly bul
lish, but the wenktimn In wheat caused a
reaction late In the day, nd the clone wa
bout steady, with May He lower. M.iy
wheat closed V((V lower, with ont down
Hp. Provisions closed steady, the ,My
j.roducts being a shade higher to 12Vc
lower.
Wheat waa strong rarly on higher rubles
and on the atrength In corn, but the Ad
vance wa not maintained, liberal offerings
from the local crowd causing a ahiirp reac
tion during the latter pnrt of the day.
Trading wa rather dull and the volume of
business In the aggregate was not large,
although there waa a good demand tor
northwest account. May opened H'SisC
higher at 7Tfr784c and under a fair demand
from commission houses there was an ad
vance to 7H4'&7l4c, hut lutor on reports of
expectation of larger receipts In the
Vnlted Kingdom after next week the price
broke to 77'c and the close was near the
bottom, 4iic lower at 771'(J771tc. World's
shipment were over 8.000 bushels and the
amount on passage Increased 1.164 buahel.
The visible supply hi wen a decrease of
14,000 bushels Clenrancea of wheat and
Hour were equnl to 291.000 bushels. Primary
receipts were 824,000 bushela, against nfll.OOO
a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re
ported receipt of 9l cara, which, with
local receipts of 31 car, 1 of contract grade,
made a total for the three points of 722
earn, against 4(4 last week and 474 a year
ago.
Corn waa strong, Influenced largely by
the higher Liverpool rabies, which were up
K'Wtc. There waa good general commis
sion house buying, the demand being to a
large extent Irom shorts. The amount of
buflness, however, wiia not large, owing to
a ecarclty of offerings, eapeelally In May.
although In the July delivery there waa a
moderate selling pressure. Small receipt
were also a bull factor. Selling on the
weakness In wheat caused an eaaler feeing
late In the day and the close waa about
steady, wltn May 4c lower at 45e, after
selling between 45-c and 46iC Local re
ceipts were 483 cars, with only 1 of con
tract grade.
Oats were Irregular and unsettled and
the volume of buslnee waa small. The
arly market was strong. In sympathy with
other grains, but selling by commission
houses and realizing by the principal long
caused a decline, and the decline wan weak,
with May c lower at 354'i;r354c. after
ranging between 36 He and 364c Local re
ceipt were 2'.2 cars.
Provisions were dull and unsettled, open
ing easier on a liberal run of hogs and on
lower price at the yards, but rallying
earlier on a good demand from packera,
with a ecarclty of offering, and declining
again on selling by commission house.
The close wa about steady, with pork
rather weak and 124c lower at $17.55. May
lard closed a shade higher at 39.574tfj9.60.
but ribs were So down at 39.624. The late
weakness In grains had a repressing In
fluence and helped to bring' out liberal of
ferings during the latter part of the ses
sion. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat.

Weaker Money Keeps Market Hark
Till Kenate Ken Helps Rally.
NEW YORK. Feb. 1. Tiie minds cl op
erator in stoci.s today were marlfestly
tjrued ti on the money inarkt outlook.
Tne slgnitlcant upward n.oveir.ent In St.
lAHiis .m San FrMnclsco nnd in Wabash
pieierrwl hail very little sympathetic effect
upon the general tone of the market. '1 ne
inn lence oi tne weait bunk statement on
bnUr.iay ami cl the developments tit today
In money proved more than siifllclent to
overconu- uny synyiathetic effect trotn
these niiiinti statlor'. of strength. Rut In
the afternuon, tshi n it was announced that
the senate had taken up the consideration
of the AUiricn linai.clai bill, a substantial
recovery tet In and a large proportion oi
the early losses was recovereu. The whole
movement was largely prniesslonal, but ll
was hut a tair demonstration of the im
portance attached In the financial com
infinity to everything that promises relief
from the threateneu ilnancial stringency
of the coming fall. In this connection any
arsurancc, such as provided by the Ai
drlch bill, against withdrawals from the
nit.ney market by the government in the
collection of surplus revenue is considered
of prime Importance. The Saturday bank
statement,- Bince which there waa no ses
sion of the Stock exchange until today,
was regarded us rather formidable evidence
of the rapid inroads being made upon bank
ing resources by large corporation requlre
menta. The very Urge decrease In cash
gives rise to the supposition that the local
trust companies are also beginning to an
ticipate their needs In the enlargement of
cash reserve to conform with clearing
house requirements. Much significance waa
attached to the developmenta today of quite
an acute pressure for funds from Chicago.
The transler of $iO0,00o to that center
through the subtreasury Is known to have
been largely supplemented with direct
shipments by express. It Is believed that
large payments coming due on March 1 on
real estate operations in weatern towns
are responsible for this unexpected de
mand, 'ihe extent of commitments In west
ern land speculation has been a subject of
puzzled conjecture In New York for many
months. Large venture were known to
have been made In preliminary payments,
with the Idea that future payments would
be provided for by a resale ot property, but
that market lost Its activity, a it has in
so many other lines. The extent of the
requirements for these supplementary pay
ments for real estate becomes of greater
Interest by reason of this demand for
funds. The local money market hardened
on account of these developments and
caused a. reaction in sterling exchange
away from the gold export point. The ex
change market was not affected by heavy
sales here of stocks for London account,
the light seaboard Rra In clearances or by
the decline In the txport demand for cot
ton. It was evident that exchange was af
fected) rather by a cessation of the demand
for remittance to (repay to foreigners ma
turing loans owing to firmer money. The
movements In 8t. ilxnils &. San Francisco
and In Wabash preferred were shrouded In
mystery, but speculators supposed the two
movements were connected. The stock
market hypotheslsi was that a newly se
cured control of 8tJ Louis & San Francisco
carried a threat vt complication to the
Oca Id southwestern system and that the
Pennsylvania, rallnoad was availing Itself
of this to press for1 substantial jTroperty
holdings in the Wabash system on account
of the latter's trunk line aspirations. The
sirengm oi Amalgamated was attributed
to the further rise, in the metal and sugar
rises seemed to bo connected with an ad
vance in the price of coffee. The market
closed - quite active and firm. There was
some breadth to the bond market, but the
largest activity was In St. Louis A San
Francisco funding 4s and Wabash deben
ture Bs. The general tone was Irregular
Total' sales, par value, 34.612,0u0. United
States coupon 3s advanced per cent on

CATTLE There was a big run of cattle
here this morning, but local packers took
hold In good shape and there waa very little
change from yesterday In the prices paid.
Trading wac not exactly brisk, but still the
bulk of tha offerings was disposed of in
fairly good season.
The steer market could be quoted' about
steady. The market waa a little slow In
opening and salesman In some cases had
a hard time to get what they considered
steady prices, but as a rule there was prac
tically no change from yebterday In the
prices paid. The quality was Just about the
same as it has been for some time past,
which means that there were no finished
cattle on sale.
The cow market was active and steady.
In some cases sales were made that looked
a little stronger, but the balk of the offer
ings sold In yesterday's notches. Tho
greatest demand was for cutters and the
better grades of cornfeds. Canners con
tinued to be more or lesa neglected and
certainly brought no more than they did
yesterday. Although a large proportion of
the receipts consisted of cows a good clear
ance waa made.
Bulls, veal calves and stags all sold in
in st about the same notches they did on
londay.
There was quite a demand this morning
for anything at all decent In the way of
stockers and feeders. Quite a few buyers
were in from the country, so that specu
lators took hold with considerable life .and
paid fully steady prices for practically
everything offered. The better the quality
the eaaier they were to sell. Representa

HOGS Receipts of hogs were very liberal
this morning and the market was gen
erally G&lOc lower than yesterday. Trad
ing started out very slow and It. was late
before much business was transacted.
The bulk of the hogs sold from 36.80 to
36.90. The better weights sold mostly from
6.85 to 36.90, with prime heavy weights
selling up to 37.00. The medium weights
went from 36.80 to. 36.86 and the light stuff
from 36.M) down. 'I here was no great
amount of activity to lie market at any
time, but still, after buyers and sellers
Anally go together on prices. It was not
long before the big string was disposed of,
The light and common stuff waa. of course
neglected and seller found It hard to
move that class of. stuff at. any price.

Cotton Market.
NEW YORK, Feb 24. COTTON Opened
easy at a decline of 64f6 points. The con
trolling influence during the early session
waa disappointing English cables. There
waa considerable selling by the room ele
ment, and a general absence of support on
tne pan 01 tne duii clique. 1 ne only fea
ture of the trade was selling of summer
months by the south and a llilln huvlna- nf
July for European accjunt. In a general
way tne market was very feverish, re
muinlns bo throughout the day and sug
gesting a feur on the part of the lc.cal
traders that an important change of sum
character was near at hand. Short sel ing
was restricted somewfr.it by the late rall'.ei
at Liverpool, but room sentiment was un
mistakably mixed. Near months show a
steadiness, principally on covering by be
lated March shorts. The difference between
May and July ranged from 18 to 20 points
most of the forenoon. After the first sell
lnn movement had subsided there wad a
general steadying of the whole list, which
continued until after mid-day, when com
miaslon h-iuse selling, partly on atop-loai
orders, broke May to 9.7Sc. It was also as
sumed that Wall street operators, in dis
tress, were Identified with a movement to
break the market. Under selling of this
character the market became very nervous
and feverish, with the July discount under
May widening to 22 points, or the greatest
of the season. Large export clearances
and the firmness of southern spot markets
had little effect in checking the rolling and
the close was officially called steady, with
prices 2 points h'gher to 2 lower. Sales
estimated at Jii.loi hules.

SHEEP There was a liberal run of sheep
and lambs here this morning, but the
market opened active and steady. All the
buyers seemed to have liberal orders, so
that the bulk of Ihe early arrivals waa
soon disposed of. Toward the close there
seemed to be a little easier tone 10 tne
trade, owing partly to the fact that re-
k rts from ( hicago were not favorahle to
he selling interests and also because buy
ers had ineir more urgent ortiers nueo.
Practically everything waa disposed of In
