CHirAnrf, Feb. 2.-The grnln pits wrt
Influenced largely by the action of rum
today and with tne decline In that rommod
ity the mark. In ruled easier, Mav wheat
dosing Sc lower, .May corn r lower and
oats off ir. Provisions closed stcadv, with
Way products unchanged to 24c lower.
Wheal vii dull and fairly firm at the
opening, but later the market eased off,
the heavy liquidation In corn being the
principal factnr In causing the deriine, al
though the expectations of bearish sta
tists s on Monday Influenced traders to
some extent and aided In '.he downward
tenlnry. May opened unchanged to a
hade higher at ic to 7T1i 77'c, and
under the Influence of a cold wave scar
the market became a little firmer and
sales were made at 77o. but with nothing
el n of Importance in the line of hull news
the price gradually declined along- with
the break In corn. The clone was at the
low point, at 77r. a loss of c. The re
celpta In the northwest were smaller than
a year age and the primary receipts were
less than last year, b ing estimated at
425.H00 bu., agsjnst &4l.0"0 a year ago. There
was an Improvement In the export demand
and clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to ;'24.000 bu. Minneapolis and Duhit'.l
reported receipts of 21 cars, which, with
local receipts of 1 cars, one of contract
grade, mude total receipts for the three
point of 314 cars, against 233 last week
and .1S2 a year ago.
Trading in corn waa extremely heavy,
and longs took advantage of an opportunity
to dlNiiose of heavv lines, which resulted
In a break In the price, but a good demand
from commission houses prevented any
serious decline. The prospects of cold
weather throughout the corn belt, which
would be favorable for the movement and
the grading, was the chief factor In bring
ing out the selling orders, although the
caxh demand was not as urgent as of late.
After selling between 467c and 47Sc. May
closed '.c lower at 47c. Local receipts were
332 cars, none of which were of contract
grade.
uam were enny m y iiifnuiy wmi vui 11,
and the lack of any show of trading tended
to add to the depression. There waa scat
tered liquidation by local holdera and but
little demand. The close was easy and '.c
lower for May at 3nVc. after ranging be
tween Zoc and iSc. Local receipt! were
ltO cars.
Provisions were active and unsettled, but
the volume of trade was only moderate.
Most of the demand came from commls
Inn houses on outside orders, while the
selling was largely by local traders. Lower

CHICAGO. Feb. 28. WHEAT The mar

waa witnout influence here. There was
some southwestern selling, St. Louis A

direction of ample protection and abunda.lt
moisture. Clearances were incomplete. 224,-

bushels. The seaboard reported 10 loads
sold late yesterday to Lisbon. Speculative
trade was quiet, with everybody waiting
some new factor. Fifteen toads wheat
taken for export today at New York.
CORN There haa been a good deal of
profit-taking in corn today, and some alight
yielding of the price. The provision crowd
sold, especially the English packers. There
waa very large commission selling by Mc
Reynolds and Bartlett 4k Fraxler. There
waa liberal buying by Harris & Gates, and
bv Couneelman. Cables were un sllahtlv
from Liverpool, but lower from London. It
has not been easy to deride where the corn
hue gone to. There was buying by Cudahy
houses early. Clearances, 433,000 buahels.
Incomplete because of wire trouble. Re
ceipts were 332 cars; estimates for Mon
day, 340 cars. Eastern demand slow. Cash
corn Is weak for the poor grades, the No.

NEW TORE. Feb. 28 Stocks were sold
with great freedom during the first houra
of today's short session and were rebought
with eagerness after the appearance of the
bank statement. The uncovered bear Inter
est was plainly a factor In the buying and
neir errorta to get stocks were ieit even
luring the selllna of the first hour. Com
mission houses also reported some buying,
tlracted by the considerable decline or tna
week. New York Central suffered a drive,
prompted by the reports of the extensive
landslides along Its trncks. Pennsylvania,
on the other hand, offered good resistance.
Traders are Inclined to shift holdings from
New York Central to Pennsylvania at tne
ame price on the higher dividend report,
'vnnsvlvanla helped the stock and the
ruraors of possible control of Wabash con-
lnue to nave some speculative innuence.
The traders followed the St. Paul move
ment both downward and upward In the
belief that they were In strong financial
company. Amalgamated aisit resisted me
decline and made a good rally. The de
crease In cash in the banks, showing II.
943.0W, compared with preliminary esti
mates UBiiru on eiai.-iii.-iii j ir
hemselves of from l7,oi.0'W to over .'.-
000, caused the rally. It is believed that
the late movement of some large cash con-
Ignments lessened their eflcct on tne
week's averages, which would throw their
effect over to next week's statement. The
merelv nominal loan decrease M the
greatest surprise of the statement and finds

CATTLE Aa Is generslly the oase on a
Saturday, there were not enough cattle In
ne yarns 10 mane a mantel, f or tne
week, however, receipts have been very-
heavy, as will be seen from the table above,
and for the month of February the supply
has been tne largest on record ror the
second month of the year. The gain over
the same montn of last year amounts to
about 14,000 head. For the year to date
the lncreuae over the same period of laat
year amounts to over 7.0oo head.
'ine Peer steer market has been in very
satisfactory condition all this week. The
tlret half prices Armed up a little, but
toward the close buyers shaved off about
all of the advance, so that the week-closed
with prices In the same notches they were
at the close of last week. The greatest
demand has been for the medium and handy
weight cattle. Heavy weights nave been
rather slow sale as a rule, though a little
bunch of strictly prime cattle that had
been on reeu ror a year sou ror 40.00 ana
weighed 1,194 pounds. The bulk of tho
cattle now coming forward sell from 34.00
to 34 50, while good to choice sell from
14.50 to 15.00 end fancy grades .can be
quoted up to 35.50.
1 ne cow marxei nas Deen ratner uneven
this week. The best grades have sold
freely all the week and are perhaps IW1I60
higher than the close of lat week. Ry that
is meant aucn uinus as sen from 43.40 to
1400. The cutters and fair to good kinds
of beef cows, such as sell from 32.85 to
13.30, have sold unevenly and may be quote!
all the way from nearly steady to ijc or 2oc
lower, canners nave also sunereo fully
that much and toward the close of the
week were hard to sell at any price, as
some of the packers were not buying them
at all and others only In limited numbers.
canners are Belling largely from 32.5o down.
The bull market has shown some little im
provement this week and the better grades
are litoMc higher. A choice bull will now
bring 13.75, or even a little more than that,
but the bulk of them sell from 33.25 to 13.50.
Bologna grades are also a little stronger
for the week. Veal calves have held Just
about steady, rholce grades selling largely
from 16.00 to 16.25.
The stocker and feeder market has been
active and etro.ig all the week on desirable.
? trades. As compared with the close of
ast week. It Is safe to quote the market
16ij20c higher. The commoner kinds have
not shown much Improvement. Fair to
ood cattle are selling irom I3.50 to 13 80
and good to choice from 13 85 to 34.50. The
common stuff sells from 13.40 down. Rep

HOGS There was a light run of hogs
here today and the prices paid were iten-
erally a shade better than yesterday, sales
belli- mane an tne way irom sieauy 10 ac
higher. It was rather an up and down
market, however, being high In the middle
and low at both ends. Packers did not take
hold very freely, as they did not want the
hoKS had enougn to pay tne prices asxea.
Trading as a result was slow from
start to finish, as the end of the
market was very slow and weak
The bulk of the medium weight hogs sold
from to to 16.90 and the aood welKht
hogs from 16 90 to 36.95, whUe prime heavies
sold ss man as si.uo. ine uant stun in
particular was hard to dispose 01 ana sola
from I6S5 down.
For the week the receipts or nogs nave
only been fair, as there is a decrease both
as compared with last week and with the
same week or last year, ror the montn
there has also been a decrease as com
pared with the Same month of February.
For the year to date there Is a decrease of
aoout 73.0UO neaa.
The market for the week has fljetuated
back and forth to some extent, but the
general tendency has been downward. As
compared with the cloae of last week the
market Is 5yl0c lower. Representative

SHEEP There hss been a liberal run of
sheep here all this week, as will be seen
from the table given above. For the morth
receipts have been the heaviest on record
and for the year to date there Is an In
crease over the same period of last year
amounting to over M.om head.
The demand has been in good shape dur
ing the week under review, but till pack
ers wanted to buy their supplies a little
lower. Strictly choice grades of sheep were
probably not over meak to a dime lower,
vv'ille tiie half-fat kin. Is are l.'-uJnc lower.
Iatnhl have also suffered fully as much as
sheep.
The demand for feeders haa been of lib
eral proportions and owing to the decline

ANOTHER BONANZA MINE.'
TONOPAH & ML BUTLER COLD MINING CO.,
TONOPAH, NEVADA.
This property, consisting of five full mining properties, owned and officered
by the same parties who through this fiscal agency developed the Bonansa
Mine, the Tonopah and California, from a mere prospect Into one of the richest
mines In the world Inside of thirty days, offered for sale tO.OOQ shares In their
nearby property, the Tonopah and Mount butler at 15 cents. Those shares were
all TAKEN INSIDE FOUR DAYS, and we now offer
100,000 Shares at 20c Per Share.
Remember that the ledge In the sister mine Is over FORTY FEET WIDE
AND KAN Jl. 567.30 PER T'JN-THB RICHEST 8INULE LODE IN THE
WORLD. With the same formation, the same people sinking the present shaft
on Mount Butler straight for the same ledge. Is It not reasonable to believe
they will reach It In a few days, and then stock In Tonopah and Mount Butler
will run up the scale like Its sister mine, the Tonopah and California, to J1.00
PER BHARE AT A SINGLE BOUND? Our ehaft Is now down over thirty
feet and Is In Identical formation in which Its sister mine struck ore at 12S feet
It reads too much like romance to write of Tonopah. More than j40,OOO.OiX).00
of the richest gold ore in the world le on the dump, or In eight. The Jl 00
shares of Mlspah Tonopah have sold as high as K2.00. Tonopah and California
will sell equally as high as soon as developed, and the owners of that Bonanza
mine prophesy THAT THEIR NEW PROPERTY, the TONOPAH AND MT.
BUTLER. WILL PROVE EQUALLY AS RICH. The shaft each day Is ap
proaching nearer the gold sone. Do not let this allotment sell before taking ao.
tlon. Do not let another Bonansa slip through your finger.
