Antwerp it,q per bu. The gain at Antwerp
waa tnought to be especially algnlflcant as
caused by threatened stoppage of ship
ments from Argentine and Russia. A re
port stated that railroad employes in Ar-
fentlne were on the verge of a strike. The
raneportatlon of troops and war munl
tlona In Russia la greatly restricting the
movement of wheat In that country. In
addition to the bullish foreign Quotations,
conditions In the United Btntes were such
aa to cause fear as to tha aultlclency of th

waa met promptly by selling orders for
the account of the leading long. Smaller

For a short time the market held steady

Upward under urgent bulng by ehorts. The
fact that the board would be closed on

The provision market was active ana
strong throughout the entire day. Buying
by packers and outsiders, together with

resulted in' gains throughout the whole list.
Bmall receipts of hogs, with higher prices

Da 11.
NEW TORK. Feb. 2o.-The character of
the stock market ahoweil no change twlay
fiom that of the whole week. The effecia
of the day's depressing factors were very
mixlerate and were well resisted. Hut once
the depression waa overootne all Interest in
the market abruptly terminated. There
seemed to be a waiting demand for stocks
on any decline, but no buyers were at hand
to follow any advance. The principal pres
sure upon the market came from foreign
sources. This was well absorbed and prices
were at no time down to the London par
ity. The sentimental effect of the decided
upaet In the l'arls and Her In bourses was
very alight. The severe decltnea on the
Paris bourse are attributed to financial
needs caused by the shrinkage In Runslan
securities, which are a poor sale at the
present time, so that necessities must be
mot by salt of other securities. The weak
ness of slate funds at I'aiis might, how
ever, be due to Intimate knowledge of dip
lomatic Information not available to other
centers, which would explain Its greater
effect on that market.
The $7,644,5A Increase In cash In the bank
statement was not unexpected and la at
tributed to a return of money from the
south, where the collapse In cotton specula
tion has decreased the Immediate need.
Some of the money sent to Baltimore Is
believed to have come back. The lonn de.
crease 1 evidence that .corporation borrow
ing have been largely'supplled out of thn
previous loan expansion, it Is probable
also that the proceeds of railroad loans
are left on deoslt with tho bank pending
the need for employlifg the funds which are
available to the loan market In the mean
time. The market closed about steady and
not far from last night' level.
ltonds were dull; United States 2s, coupon,
3 per cent on call during the week.

The cow market is also cigner ror tne

apparently been In excess of the supply
and prices are all the way from lOo to 5o

Oil! Oil! Oil!
Kansas oil fields today offer the greatest
opportunity of any oil II eld a m the
United State. Why?
First, the quality of oil brings the high,
est prices.
Second, wells In tne now famous Inde
pendence field, cost less to drill and pro
duce from 80 to 8iJ barrels per day.
Third, our lands are so well situated
and so many large producing wells around
us, we expect to have the same result
s our nclghbcrs. We are not going to
work, but ARE AT WORK, and hsv
slso lot contracts for f-everal well.
We offer a little block of stck for fur
