Trading In the train pita whs rather quiet today, tut aft. r an easv opening the close wag firm. May wheat being unchanged, May corn VoVc higher and oats up Va'tc. Provisions ruled ; strong, the May products closing SiVio . lower at 17Ho higher. , liwer cable and favorable weather brought out considerable selling In the wheat pit at the start, and a : oil many limits were sold out, while i ouiir isslon houses had sales for short account. May opened )4c to c lower at 76'ac to 77c, but this soon advanced on a good demand from commission houses an Id to be acting fur fit. Louis people, selling up to Tic. A little weakness In other grains caused some .Belling by locals and a reaction to 77c fol lowed. The light offerings late In the dny was the main cause for the fairly firm feel ing, which pervaded the pit at the clone, and final ftguies on May were unchanged at TiWSfUc Bradstreet's report of the world's visible supply was a bearish In- fluence, and claimed the world's stock had Increased 1,3(10,000 bushels last week, com pared with a decrease of a year ago of 2.041.000 bushels. Clearances of whea. and flour wore Hunt and equal to 124.000 bushels. Primary receipts were 632,000 bushels,, agalrst 673,OnO bushels a year ago.

Corn met an active demand from provi sion people, and, following a slight dip at tbe outset, the market tjrned strong. The rnr!y weakness wns on lower cables and In sympathy with the decline In wheat. Com mission nouses were tho best buyers, and there was no pressure to sell, the limited offerings being quickly absorbed. Unset tled weather was a bull factor, as was the poor trading. The close was strong and "AftTfcc higher at 4(V646Wlc for May, which ranged between 4"i'4e and 4Vic. Local re ceipts were 60S cars, with none of contract grade. The early weakness In corn and wheat affected oats, and there wu heavy selling by commission houses. Later on the ad vance in other grains the market became lrmer which feeling was helped materially ' y the small receipts. The close was strong, with i&o higher at 3SVfcc, after selling be tween 34?35o and 354c. Local receipts were 184 cars. Provisions opened steady In the face of lower prices for hogs at the yards, a fair 'iemand from brokera being the support ing featuie.

Market Still Depressed, While Prices Are Feverish and Irrearnlar. NEW YORK. Feb. 25. The undertone of the stock market continued depressed today, although the movement of prices wns feverish and irregular throughout. There was quite a general show of strength at the npinlng and Individual points of strength at different times afterward, but nnth ng In the way of gains was left at the cb e, wh.ch was dull and weak. The light ning course of the money market con tinued to be the dominant lactor In damp ening any speculative enthusiasm. Time money tates continued to harden and the trailers do not care to do business at lower rate.4 than 4M16 per cent tor any period. This was the decisive Index of the mon-y situation. There was a tightening Lire and relaxation by other mattirs bearing on the money situation, but these were the result of olisettlng factors. Yesterday's heavy dcrmiims lrom Chicago Introduce a new lactor of Importance Into the situation. Thj subtrcasiiry was not called upon today to make any further transfer to that point, but New York exchange at Chicago de clined lo points to 4(c discount, showing a continuance of the pressure for funds. Yesterday's transfers through the sub trensury, combined with very large customs colli ctlons, brought the loss of the market to the government Institution for the day Op to $.,iil.(it, making the aggregate loss tor Friday on that account J3.a39.tKiO. There Is some talk that this heavy drain upon cash resource will be offset by a large contraction In the loan account of the banks by a. transfer to foreign lenders. As a matter of fact, loan bills made their re appearance In the forelun exchange today ana were principally responsible for the easier tone In that market, although there were large e"xport takings, of corn today and London bought stnet's slightly on bal ance. On the other hand sterling at Paris reacted again. It was not known, how ever, until after the close of the market that arrangements had been made fer the shipment of J75u,OOii In gold to Buenos Ayres. This Is described as a special trans action, but Its effect nn cash reserves Is not different from the most orthodox regulnr transaction. It Is not considered probable that the weak closing In tho stock market wan due to an Inkling of this news. The lack of confirmation of yesterday's rumor regarding Wabash and San Francisco as to connections with other large systems naturally tend to realizing. Tho advance In Rock Island had the appearance of an ef fort to revive the Influence of the rumors. The pressure against Metropolitan Street Railway was also regarded as rather ominous. The rise In St. Paul was due to the possibilities that the directors at to morrow's meeting may take action on the proposed new stock Issue. Amalgamated Capper felt the benefit of an advance In the selling pr'ce to Europe of the metal, iuclede Oas and North American reflected the report of the purchase of the former bv the latter. The- buying of Sugar, at tributed to favorable trade reports. The bond market was quite broad, but the price movement was Irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,456,000.

They started out bidding 610n lower, but sellers refused to take off that much, so that for some time practically no business was transi ted PneWeia i,.m in ' have the hogs, though, so they finally raised i their bids, and the bulk of the hogs sold dc lower man yesieraay. ine heavyweights sold mostly from 36.80 to $6.85, nnd prime heavies sold mostly from $6.86 to 36 95. The medium weights went from 16.75 to $6.80. and the light stuff from $6.75 down. Trading waa. not vtry briak at ahy time, and tho day was well advanced before a clearance was made.

Buyers all seemed to be quite anxious for supplies, so that the bulk of the offerings was disposed of In good season. A large proportion of the offerings this, morning consisted of beef steers and the market could be quoted generally, abo.it steady on the more deslraule grades. The heavy cattle, unless strictly prime, were a little neglected and some salesmen were calling them a little lower. A strictly choice bunch of heavy cattle, -however, sold for $6.50, which Is the highest price paid on thlB market for some time past, but the cattle were also the best seen here In a long while. The cow market waa quite active and the more desirable grades, such as cutters and cornfeds, sold freely at good steady prices. The demand seemed to be fully equal to the supply and as a result a talrly early clearance was made. Canners were not In quite as good demand as the better grades and sold at rather uneven prices. Some sales were steady and others were undoubt edly a little easier. 1 There was no particular change In the market for bulls. Buyers were rather In different, but as a rule they paid just about steady prices, as compared with yesterday. Veal calves continued in good demand at steady prices. There has been a good demand from the country for stock cattle so far this week, so that speculators have r.ot been obliged to rarry over many cattle from day to day. That being the case, they naturally took hold In good shape this morning and paid good steady prlcesefor all denlrao!e grades. There were comparatively few on sale, so that every thing was soon disposed of.

COTTON Opened weak at a decline or i'mu points ana ol io v. lug the call eased off another "olnt or so under renewed liquidation arid some selling for the short account. Liverpool at the time of the local opening was 24fJ points lower, whereas a partial decline of 1 .point was due on the New York close of yesterday. The weakness- abroad was gen erally aa aescriDeu uue 10 iiquiuauou 111 that market by the Egyptian Interests, which have been prominent In the recent advance. The declining tendency was of but short duration, however. Receipts for the day were lighter than last year by some 3,300 bales, and while Immediate cli matic conditions were favorable to the movement the roads are reported bad In many sections, cwing io lack of atten tion. Light movement will prove a factor for some -lays to come. The bull clique were active supporters of the market at the lower level. Their buying drew at tention to the fact that New York stocks are now down to 128.289 bales, running count, against 162,472 buiee 011 February 1 and the total exports from all points today were large, amounting to 47.450 bales, lead ing to apprehensions as to the situation in reelect to May contracts and causing fresh covering . by shorts. This demand gave way to a momentary reaction in the mid afternoon, but the market at the close was firm, net 3 points lower to 4 points higher than that level, being practically the beet of the day.
