War tension today overcame a violent setback in grain prices.

Compared with last night. Anal ' figures wera Ss4c lower for May wheat, 4o higher for corn and oats were un changed. Provisions were easier, the May produote closing from 60 to lUd lower. Exceptional activity was displayed in the wheat pit at tne opening, trices were ex tremaly erratlo and showed wide ductus tlons. Owing to the acuteness of the war situation, shorts sppvared determined to Jven up trades with- little regard for prices, n this effort the price of the May de livery wss forced 4o sbove the high record mark registered yesterday, the ooenlns quotation being tjc lower to VuSc hlirher at tOsj'jec July was a shade to H'iSio lower at Bts-Sre. wit bin ten mlnuiea from the time May had touched 9o the price had fallen to 930. a drop of I $ws, while July had sold off to 4440, or l'sc below the tp figure. After the first minute or two of trading a flood of long wheat wss txiured on the msrket and It Iraiuad as though everybody had wheat for Sala I'nder tola heavy prossure prices gan to decline. Blop-loss.urders coming ul Incressvd the downward tendency, and. for a time, the situation looked ettremel critical. The leader of the bull crowd, how Over, supported the market on the break ahd a fair rally ocs.rree. From ti May ulualy avlvauoed t t4o. whiio Wmy velnped Into a rather lame affair, but the market wan nervous. OutMde o( the signs of Impending war the early news contained several Items of exceedingly bearlnh Im port. Receipts In the northwest and south west were heavier than lent year. Weather conditions on the 1'nriflc coast and in the southwest were materially Improved. Arg entine reported much more liberal ship ments than a year sgo. These factors were Influential In hrlnKlnn- nut a lot of July wheat, and, Incidentally, had a depressing I uii ilia mHjr r.iiiiiiii. r i"n , rumors were circulated In the pit late In the dey, resulting In another active buying movement, the big bull operstor being re ported on that side of the market. The demand became so urgent during the last rew minutes that the early loss was an resalned. Just before the close July sold up to and final figures were at 5''9,t!. a net sain for the day of "Ac. May closed at ftc, a loos of .i?4c. Clearances of wheat and flour were euaf to 207.1MO bu. Primary receipts were 5f,7 bu., agli(t 72.7K) a year ago. Minneapolis, uuium ana . ni- cago rejioried receipts of 3M cars, com pared with 2M Inst week and I'M a year ago. Amn irom tne neavy nqinoaiion eariy in the dav, the most conspicuous feature In the corn market was the relative strength of the Julv dellverv. Heavy selling of May ny. some or tne prominent noiaers caunea a severe break early In the session. The violent decline In wheat prices was the prime cause for a similar action on the fart of the corn market. The opening on May was unchanced to Ho lower at bfiMr'a 5c. Prices Immediately started downward, snd before sny support materialised May nan sold nn to bc. 'mere was some in fluential buying on the decline and a par tial recovery was made. Late In the day. on sctlve buying brought out by war news. tnn market became exceedingly strong, and prices advanced above the opening level. May cloned Ho higher at Wic. after selling at 544C July ranges between 61c and 53 He, cloning with a gain of lMil7o at 630. Local receipts were 189 cars, none of contract grade. Outs followed the course of other grains, suffering a sharp setback during the flrnt hours of trading. Heavy liquidation marked the early trading, but an the senntnn ad vanced lens pressure to nell was manlfented. The market rallied during the laat half hour In sympathy with corn, but the clone was at about Inst night's figure. The open- ins: on may was 'HV lower at 4wq4to, and after decllnlna- to 44'ic the nrlce held quite steady until near the clone It ad- vanceu to 44c. The clone was at tne top and on a level with yesterday's close. Local receipts were 08 cars. Trading in provisions wan active, nut a weaker tone prevailed. The decline In the grain pits and lower prices for hogs had a dem-etnlna- Influence early In the dav and the market waa unafile to regain losses sustained under liberal liquidation at that time. Tne clone was steadv at a small de cline, May pork being off 12Hc at 113.40. May lard down 7 Wo at $7.65 and ribs 6o lower at 16.774.

NEW MR STOCKS AND BONDS Operators Allow Market to Become a Drift ing Match, COTTON HAS A DCPRLSSING effect Reboonds of Flsctsntlnar Trices i Violent as Drop, While Forelga Operations Are Almost stagnant. NEW YORK, Feb.. S.-Today's stock mar kel wss a drifting match, operators for the most part standing by and watching the amusing fluctuations in the cotton mar ket and awaiting the expected definite out come ot the quenilon ot peace or war in the tar east. The mere fact of the wild condi tion of the cotton market was suitlclent to exert a depressing Influence on stocks, whether the price of cotton was advancing or collapsing. As a matter of tact the rebounds In that market were of .almost equal violence with the drops. The grain markets were also inclined to run off. l.-lttle light was to be had from these markets on the chances of peace or war. The foreign arbitrage brokers. were idle, reflecting the almost stagnant conditions of foreign operations pending the settle ment ot the question.. The weakness of stocks grew more marked as the day pro grenxed and during the latter part of the session losses of a point or more beenme quite general in the prominent active stocks. The market showed no effective resiliency and the closing was weak and dull. There were some early points of re aiftence to the declining tendency. Amalgamated Cotioer was lifted on the circulation of a rumor that another favor able ruling had been made In its Montana litigation. Sugar, I'nlted States Sleel pre ferred and the Chicago A Alton stocks made short-lived demonstrations of strength, '1 he first, marked weakness de veloped in Wabash preferred and in Penn sylvania, and the whole market weakened after the publication of a report that the Pennsylvania Interests had Innued notes for $60.ouu,0(0 at eighteen months at 44 per cent. Several reports were Circulated dur ing the day to Indicate a settlement of the Pennsylvania-Gould dispute and an effort wan made to make the proceeds of this loan applicable to this settlement, but with out any avail, to check the decline In the stocks affected. Keen Interest is felt in the financial world to learn the nrlce at which these notes were placed, In view of the precedent of the large temporary loans secured by the Pennsylvania, the New York v t-iurai ana otner rauroaas a year ago. and tne substantial commission allowed to bankers at that time In the shape of dls count on the notes. Those nnten vera snh. sequently taken up by the proceeds of the Pennsylvania stock Issue. Rumors hnvs been abundant for some days Dust of a con templated capital Issue by the Pennsyl vnina, wmcn nave Deen vigorously aeniea. These evidences of hesvy loans to which was added the sale of t&.000,ono of Missouri Pacific notes, wss of more effect on senti ment than the estimates of a gain in canh reserves by the banks on the week of about 43.000.000. In suite of the In rss auh- treasury requirements and shipments to new orieHns, Honda were dull and heavy. Total sales, par value. $2,110,000. United States bonds Were unchanged on call.

The decline amounted to about a nickel. Trading was not very brisk, ss buyers did not take hold aa freely as they might, nor did salesmen appssr very anx ious to sell at the decline. The bulk ef the olferlonTB. thoush. waa disposed of be fore the middle of the forenoon. The I Uarht welarhta sold larsely from $4 70 down. I medium weights from It 7 to St-H, food heavy hogs from 94.74 to 44 Jo. snd prime henvles from $4 80 to $4.90. The close of the hos market wan very slow and week, as packers seemed to have their more urgent orders filled. Some of the late soles were as much nn a nickel lower than the early maiket.
