The first car of contiaot corn was 'offered
on the exchange today. No 2 yellow, from

Huntley for 43c. The cash market waa
only fair today and prices had mot a
light reaction. 'Wheat waa from lc to 2c
offT Receipts were 4 cars In and 8 cars
out. one week ago, 2 and 2 cars.
Corn has been the feature of the local
cash market for several days. The receipts
are now much heavier. This la accounted
for by the fact that cars can now be ob
tained. The country elevators are full and
would have shipped during several weeks,
but could get no cars from the roads.
During this week more have been obtained.
Corn ruled from Tuesday's prices to o off.
Hecelpta were 33 cars In and 21 cars out,
one week ago, and 20 cars.
Oats were steady at the Tuesday prices.
Receipts were 4 cars In and 3 out; one week

Russia during the week shipped out 1.
73K.UUU bushels of wheat according to a cable
and 463.0U0 bushels of corn, this notwith
standing the demands of the government
on the' railways. A private cable says
that exports in future, to Oermnny have
been forbidden because of the scarcity of
cars. Odeaaa cables that the wheat stocks
are small.
A Bt. lyoula wire, McWUoTter, Holllnger
and Hunderland says:
"The millers are taking hard wheat In
preference to soft wherever possible, f.oft
whoat coming In, where It can be swl4.Jied
to other tracks, is bringing good pieces, A
car or two sold early, at il.ll, but the car
situation Is very bad and the wheat In
elevators is going out very slowly. There
are several millers here today from
Tennessee and other southern points, but
It Is understood they are taking hard
wheat. The cash situation, so far as the
elevator wheat la concerned, looks weak
and there will be a big bunch remaining
here on May 1 to be delivered on , contracts."

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Tha action of the
Stock market became halting and Irregular
today on a somewhat decreased volume of
business. The moderate gains established
during the early port of the day were sub
sequently lost. The motive of the early
advance waa not very clear, but was at
tributed to a covering movement among
the shorts.
The borrowing demand for shorts cn the
Stock exchange this morning Indicated a
short Interest. This prompted the traders
to take the short side In the hope of dis
lodging the shorts, but it was believed to
be more apparent than real. The profes
sionals' were then convinced that the real
liquidation going on was crThcealed by the
borrowing of stocks for temporary deliv
ery In order to hide the character of the
selling. There was. a feeling this morn
ing, on the contrary, that the selling move,
ment had somewhat overrun Its life. The
recovery In nrlce of Americans in IiOndon
helped this feeling. The buying movement
waa lacking In vigor and the resulting ad
vance was very moderate. The weak tone
of the later market was clearly enough due
to renewed apprehension over the financial
situation at the great money centers on
the continent.
The-reports of numerous banking failures
at Berlin. Paris, Vienna, Lyons, and ru
mors that there would be further failures
st other continental points weakened all
the markets. There was nothlr.g In the
war news to account for this reaction, but
It gave rlae to natural misgivings that the
uipiomatic situation might be strained so
as to threaten eventualities. The sudden
rebound on Monday, while our market n
closed, from the panicky slump on Satur
day waa attributed to more or less arti
ficial measures of support with the purpose
of averting the 'threatened failures, and the
evidence since that liquidation was proceed
ing undermined confidence anew.
in the domestic field the bears on the
market had as material to work on the an
nouncement of additional cuts In grain
rates east and west, and threats on the
Part of the trunk lines that laVe rain

rears or a striae in tne sort coal trade
are abating. The passing of the Panama
canal treaty will bring an earlv call for
repayment of 20 per cent of government de
posits from national banks. Discussion Is
beginning of the date of the spring move
ment of currency to the Interior, to which
point Is given by the fall to a discount of
New York exchange at Chicago. The for
eign exchange market advanced strongly In
response to the passage of the Panama
canal treaty, and also, presumably, on ac
count of the financial difficulties In Europe.
The relative firmness lh Amalgamated Cr p
per waa attributed to expectation of the
dismissal cf a temporary Inlunetlon agnlnst
payment of dividends on stock of subsid
iary companies ownea. Net losses were

run of sheep here this morning and at
other points as well. Chicago was Rioted
vlow and generally a dime lower, with about
in, ouo iieau on sale. At this point buyers we. e
rather Blow In laiin.g .jul'auil an u gen
eral ihliig they warned to buy.lliolr up
pllea a .dune lower than osteruay, or .-bout
a quarter lower than Muntuiy. Salesman
did not like the Idea of taking off Unit
much and as a result trading waa 1 111 her
slow from atari to llnk-h. There were soma
ewes on sale that brought 14.00, but luey
were good.
There Ih not much to be said of feedoia,
as very few nre ottered, most iveryth. ne

CHICAQO GRAIX AAD PROVISIONS
Feat a res of the Trading; and rioslnsj
Trices oa Board of Trad. -
CHICAGO, Feb. 24-Ijirge decrease In
the world's visible supply of wheat caused
an advance today of 2Vc In the price of
the May delivery. Stiength In English
markets aided in the upward tendency
The July option closed at a net gain of
Ivao. Compared whit last nlgiil liiiures.
May corn Onlahed ISc up, oats lHc, and
Provisions LWc 10 b.Vjc.
Trio wbeit market opened strong. Higher
price at Liverpool, In tiie fuce of the
severe break here yeaterady, were taken
as HufTlclent Inducement to buy. Initial
quotations on May were ltjlc higher at
It.Ooal.OoV July was up Sylc al MVni
H4Sc The advance brought out liberal
realising sale. 1 he leading long was re
ported to be selling freely. For a time
general liquidation ensued, resulting In
May declining to 11.04 and July to K)V,a.
Hn the break the principal bull operat r
changed tactics and became an active
btirr. giving especial attention to the July
delivery. Prices started upward and anon
recovered all the early Ions. Pradstreets
report of the worjd's wheat stocks was a
bill Hah factor, showing that for the week
there waa a decrease of 3.64t.miO bushels.
compared with an Increase of 1.326.0m
bushels (he corresponding week last year.
The strong cash situation was an addi
tional bull influence. During the filial hour
of trading there waa an active demand
from all sourcea. tifferlng, however, were
light and In consequence the market be
came eiceedtiucly strong. May advancing
to II .06V a gain of 2'c from the low
point, while July sold up '.'c to 9V,o. The
market chsJ firm at 11 .diCj fur May and
9vo for July. Clearances of wheat and
flour were equal to 147.100 buahela. Primary
receipts were 178.300 bushels, against 532,
60 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis, Du
luth and Chicago reported receipts-of 290
cars, compared with L:m cars last week and
246 ears a year ago.
The feature of trading In corn was
heavy purchases by several of the prin
cipal bull interests. There was consider
able corn for sale early in the day by com
mission houses, but offer1i.ua were well
taken. The selling waa mostly by small
holders. A prominent provision house was
an active buyer late In the seshion. Tru
comparative firmness In foreign markets
had strengthening Influence on price
here. A leport from Nebraska claiming
that the movement of com from that
state bad practically stopped was also a
bull factor. The demand was of the, best
possible rharactir lale In the dav. and
closing price were practically at the too.
Tlie opening on May was l-c higher al
Do4i5V,c. After declining to 657aC. the pric

The cow market was t lso slow and fully
a dime lower than yesterday and In ex
treme cases the loss amounted to as much
as 15c. For the week the decline is iliht
around a quarter, some of the best grades
heinar nerhans a little better than that and
the undesirable kinds a little worse. Trad- 211 western
lug Was very slow all day and It was late
before even the bulk of the arilvals waa
disposed of.
Bulls, veal calves and stags all sold lower
In sympathy with the decline on steer and
cows.
The sums as was the case yesterday.
Blockers and feeders held obout steady
where the quality was- at all good. The
offerings aro so light that while the de
mand could not be called heavy, it Is su in
dent to hold prices steady. Representative
sales:
Through his feeding operation he has heen
able to lncreuse considerably his number
of acres and 10 prove that there still is
money In feeding cattle.
W. C. Jeniaen brought In a bunch of ewe
from his feed lots at Muson City, Neb.,
that averaged 99 pounds and sold for 13.85,
a very good price considering the condi
tion of the market. Ha haa thirty more
loads of corn red sheep back which he
Intends to market later on when the market
Improves. He reported a rather Inferior
quality of corn around Mason City for feed
ing purposes. Cat tin feeding has been
rather light this winter and nearly all lh
stock haa been marketed. Mr. Jeniaen
haa been handling aheep for the last
twenty-live years and owns a ranch In
Montana whero he raises the Blieep that
he finishes up on corn at Mason City. In
apeaklng of conditions In Montana he said
that the grasshoppers v.'cre quite a pest on
the range and left It 1.1 veiy bad shape for
the winter, but owing to a nice open winter
and the alfalfa hay on the Irrigated lands
the biock will pull inrougn me winter in
fair condition.
