Wheat prices on the exchange declined more than lc today, owing to general selling brought out by weakness In foreign grain markets. At the lose the May delivery showed a net loss of lfrlc. Corn was down itc, Oats were also Kc lower. Provisions were a abada higher to 5o lower. Tha wheat market was weak all day although .a steadlpr tone developed late In the session on buying baaed on reports of sales here of considerable cash wheat to the Interior millers. The principal weak ening Influence waa a decline of more than Id at Liverpool, due. It Is said, to liberal offerings from Argentina. An Increase of X, 104.000 bushels In the world's supply, aj shown In Bradstreets, and a heavy move ment In tha northwest were additional bearish faotors. Selling at the start was general, and the market received little support until Msy had declined to Mc. which la within c of the low record mark for that delivery. .

NEWYORKSTOCKS AND BONDS Need of Uncove ed Short Make Itself Felt. Interest SHARP RALLY AT OPENING Monday's Losses Are Not Entirely Heeorered Before Another rerlod ( Stagnation Seta In. NEW YORK. Feb. 11. The needs of an uncovered short Interest, which began to make Itself felt even before yesterday's session of weakness was over, asserted Its Influence decisively In today s stock market after a substantial but temporary rally In prices. Recoveries, though material, did not cover more than a part of yesterday's declines and the force of the demand was decidedly less felt at the higher stages of the rally and Boomed exhausted In a final reaction. The market, in fact, became pro foundly dull In the latter part of the day and the volume of dealings of the day be fore shrunk to about the average of last week's dull trading. Some of the rumors which were In cir culation In the Immediate neighborhood of the Stock exchange yesterday looked some what absurd in the more sober atmosphere of over night consideration, the news publi cations practically ignoring them by rea son of their unauthentic character. A covering by the bears was a natural conse quence of these conditions. There was at the same time a cessation of pressure to sell which looked like, liquidation yesterday and waa pressed with some urgency. The technical condition of the market was so far altered that unfavorable developments were without effect in checking the tend ency towards recovery. Sentiment on the Industrial outlook was somewhat cheered by quite a variety of reports of resumption 01 worn oy ractories which nave been closed down by reason of the diminished demand for their product. These reports were mixed, however, with others of fresh reduction of working force In some lines. There came a report also that the Penn sylvania railroad had 85 per cent of its equipment Idle. Pennsylvania did not share in the general strenath of the mar ket, but this was partly accounted for bv the belief that sales were being made of the stock against purchases of Reading through the same firm. The Rock Island securities also showed some unfavorabl effect from the heavy cut in earnings re- neciea py me jJecemDer report. The de cline in gross earnings with the tide of op erating expenses still rising seeuied colli. mon to all branches of this extensive sys tem, the net result for all lines showing a aecrease irom uccemiwr or of xj,140,- 096, or 62 per cent. For the six months irom July 1 there is shown a shrinkage In the net returns of 33,215,i6, or upwards of 20 per, cent. Such exhibits so to exulaln the weakness of the securities affected for some lime past and this former weakness also Is the reason for the moderate effect on value of the actual publication. An Incident of the day that was of cnrinliW- able Influence In proving sentiment was the recovery in the New York City 4 per cent bonds on the Stock exchange, which gave A more hopeful feeling over the prospects for success of the 350,000,000 new issue on Fri day, an offering of greater volume by the way, than has ever before been made at one time. Nominal quotations were made for the new bonds in the outside market "when and as Issued" at 1.04 bid and 1.06 asked. The price realised by the city on the previous sale of 4 per cent bonds In September was 102.63. The outcome of this sale Is likely to have a.i Important effect on financial opinion if it results In a pr6- iiuuiioifu auccess or a nuu-Keil olftRnnolnt- ment. Railroad and other corporations ara In need of new capital to push extension work and even to pay for new equipment already delivered. Their ability to secure 11 may be or far reaching Importance In setting the period of renewed productive activity by numerous Industries. The hol iday tomorrow was an Influence towards curtailment of activity In stocks. A brief selling movement at the end of the day made rapid Inroads on the earlier gains and ion ins any s cnanges mixed. oonas were irregular. Total sales, par value, 32,22b,00O.

Other buyers CATTLE Receipts of cattle were quite liberal this morning, some 2,000 heavier than a week ago, and the general character of the offerings was pretty much the same as yesterday, with, perhaps, a smaller pro portion of right, toppy beeves. Advices from eastern markets were Bomewhat more encouraging than on yesterday, and with a good general demand all the desirable beeves met with ready sale at right around steady figures. When it came to tha ordi nary run of short-fed and warmed-up cat tle, the trade was rather alow,' and in some cases prices ruled frftttoc lower than yesterday. The general movement, how ever, was reasonably free, and by noon a very fair clearance had been made, the general average of prices being Just a shade lower than yesterday. Cow stuff waa In very moderate supply and, as the demand was somewhat broader than on yesterday, It did not take dealers long to get down to business, and prices were anywhere from fully steady to as much as 6d'10c higher than yesterday. Veal calves held Just about steady, and there was rather a better tone to the market for bulls, stags, etc. Stockers and feeders constituted a com paratively small percentage of the receipts today, and largely for this reason the market was active and higher as far as It went. Some of the more desirable grades sold fully 10c better than yesterday, and everything at all useful in this line was picked up early at the advance noted. As usual, light and medium weight stuff was slow sale, but. prices were not materially different from what they have been of late.

Contrary to the general expectations eastern margeis were all re ported active and higher, with only mod erate supplies on sale and both local pack ers, shippers and speculative buyers got Into the game here early and quickly cleaned up the offerings at prices that were all or txaioc higher than yesterday, As has been the case for some time past the good heavy and butcher weight hogs sold to the best advantage, but light weights that were fat also met with ready sale and the range of prices narrowed down quite a little. Inferior, thin snd under woignt sturr was discriminated against and sold at the bottom of the list, but for fair to good hogs of all welarhta the range was comparatively narrow.

(8peclal.)- At the term of circuit court for Hanson county held at Alexandria. States Attorney Williamson of Lyman county succeeded In convicting William George, better known aa "Buffalo." The prisoner was tried on two counts of grand larceny and was con victed of both, aside from sufficient ev. dence being Introduced In one of the trial to prove conclusively that "Buffalo." while under bonds, succeeded In running off two hesd of cgttle from the Indians on tha reservation and butchering them, as their carcasses were found on his ranch a short distance north of Murdo. Today "Buffalo" was brought before Judge Smith for hlg sentence and the court gave him the full benefit of the law, being sentenced flvej years on each count. With the conviction of George about tha lust of the cattle rustlers out on the Sioux reservation Is placed behind the bars for safe keeping. The first break that cama In the wholesale cattle rustling that had been going on out on the reservation for a good many years was when the notorU ous Jack Bully was stirred from his hld ing places and finally caught with tha goods on him down at Verdigris, Neb. Jack was brought back and waa placed In the Jail at Mitchell for safe keeping un til court set In. Lymun county. It was at the beginning of the year and at that time the newly elected sheriff died. In the ex citement that followed Sully made his es cape from the Jail one Sunday evening and got away safely into his old haunts on the reservation, where he hid successfully until tho government officers finally drove him from his hiding place. After ft chase over the country Bully was finally cornered, but fighting capture-to th last he was shot on refusing to surrender. Lyman county was put to a big expense In having tho George case tried at Alex andria, but' with his convlcHton, and tha strong possibility that he will never return, seems to be sufficient recompense to tha people. SIOUX FALI-fl, S. T).. Fvb.'n.-"As soon as I get out of the 'pen' I will 'get' you, no matter where I have to Ko efter you." This was the threat made to Sheriff "Bam" Sheldon of Lyman county by Will- lam ("Buffalo") George, a noted mixed blood Lyman county desperado who hag just been lodged In the Sioux Falls peni tentiary by Sheriff Sheldon to serve a term of ten years. The threat to the sheriff was made as the prison doors closed be hind the desperado. While In Bloux Falls Sheriff Sheldon gave the particulars of an attempt to es cape which was made by the desperadd only a short time before he was transferred from the Lyman county Jail to the Hanson county jail for trial. In 'some way tha desperado got hold of a rasor and con verted the blade Into a saw. with which ha had the bars of his cell practically sawed off when daylight came and put a stop to his work. The suspicion of the deputy sheriff In charge of him was attracted to the prisoner, and an Inspection showed tha condition of the bars.
