May wheat opened at lc and closed at 92,c Torn opened steady but slightly lower, with trading light. Commlston houses were selling some but It came out slowly and was well scattered. The unsettled weather has been an offset for the weak cables. May wheat opened at ,Uo and closed at 6674a. Oats started firm on good buying demand from commlBlon firms.

Small primary re ceipts and an urgent demand for cash wheat here and at southwestern markets caused us advance of nearly 2 cents In the price of-wheat on' tne local exchange to day. At the clus (ho May delivery showed n net gain of-tfimc. Corn was up 4c. Oats were 4c hlKMua, and provisions were l4e to higher. The sharp bulge - In wheat followed a weak opening. At tlio start prices were about lo blow yesterday's final quota tions,., owlnK. ta, quite a general selling, wh'cU was .baad qn a decline of more thiyi I'd at Liverpool. Sentiment cwn tinued, bearish the greater part of the first Uour of trading. Shorts and caah houses ..then . becama active bidders and prices. , ateatjlly . advanced throughout the remainder of the session. .. While there was more or less realising on the advance, de mand continued brisk up to the close. The domestic situation furnished the chief rea sons for the rally. Primary receipts toxlay were only 346,000 bushels, compared with 7fcl.i00 bushels the corresponding dsr W year ago, and demand for cash wheat in the local market and at Kansas City and BA. LaiuIs was unusually active. The mar ket closed strong- at almost the highest jvlnt. May opened 4c to c lower at 94c to W4c, aold off to 934c and then ad vanced to Su'dij"-. The close was at Xfji W4c. Clearances of wheat and flour were evjuul to 7,iM btishels. The world's visible supply. a shown by Rradatreet's, In creased l,0uu,0t4 'bnahols. Minneapolis, tni luth and Chicago reported receipts of cars, against 2M cars last week and 6't) ,ai a. year ago.- Too corn market was pearisniy arreciea to some extent early In the day by the weakness of wheat, but small receipts and wet weather In the corn belt eventually offset completely this Influence, the mar ket dlsnlavlnir considerable strength dur ing the last half of the session. Shorts and cash Interests were the chief buyers. The volume of trade, however, was rather small. The rloso waa strong. Mav opened c lower to a. shade higher at 6n4r! to 6iO, advanced to sv4c and closed at &a Local receliita were 372 cars with none of contract grade. Oats were rather weak at the start, but rallied along with wheat and corn, the close .bv-'lng firm with prices at the top notch. The feature of trading was an In creased activity In the July and September dellver'es, which were In fair demand by a bull leader. Prospects of small receipts tomorrow had a strengthening effect late In the day. May opened a shade lower to a shade higher at 824i62?se. sold off to 624o and then advanced to 624c, where It closed. Locui receipts were 465 cars. Provisions were strong nearly all day, owing to the strength of grain and to a 6c advance In live nogs. Shorts and local packers were the- principal buyers. At the close May pork was up 26c at $11.55. 1-ard was li4c higher at $7.50. Ribs were ISc higher at $864 The estimated receipts for tomorrow are Wheat, 28 Cais; corn, . 93 cars; oats, 133 cars;- hogs, 46,000 head.

SLIGHT ACTIVITY AT 0FENIXG Hear Party Tests "eatlment with Short "ales. After Which Dallaesa Becomes Prominent Bond Market Is Easy. NEW TORK. Feb. 25.-The neglected con dition of the stock market was unrelieved today. Rather, after a temporary Increase of activity In the morning. It was aggra vated In the later dealings. Business orig inated almost entirely within the walls of the Stock exchange. An example of the character of the transactions and of the lack of consistency In the traders' argu ments was offered In Union Pacific. The books of that company for transfers of stock close tomorrow, and consequently the value of the 24 per cent dividend will be deducted from the price of the stock. One party of traders bought the stock on the ground that the deduction of 24 points from the price tomorrow will make It look cheap and Invite demand. Another party sola it on the ground that shorts had been covering In the stock because they would be obliged to pay the amount of the divi dend In carrying charges tomorrow, but would be prepared to put out fresh short lines when the dividend Is deducted. The professional traders themselves designated such a market as "trading Jackknlves " as they derive as little profit from It as school boys engaged In that transaction. me bear party among the traders tested the market with short sales at the outset on the assumption that the treasury call upon the national banks, except thoso of the smaller class, for return of $:t6.on0,floo of government deposits during March, might prompt some liquidation of stocks. This call has been clearly Indicated by the downward course of the margin of the government's free working balance of rash. Moreover, the money supplies are now so considerable that the banks can part with this sum without embarrassment, while the treasury will be correspondingly strengthened In Its facilities to help with relief for the money market when cash be gins to leave the reserve centers to move the crops. The rapid retirement of bank notes confirms the needs of contraction In the circulation, deposits of lawful money for that purpose at the treasury having already exceeded $9,000,000 for February, although that ftfrure was fixed as the new limit for retirement In any one month by the amended law of last winter. These re turns of treasury deposits and retirement or bank notes help to explain the moder ate degree In which cash Vias been accum ulated In the central banking reserves since the ranlo passed, and also the absence of any reflux movement of gold exports. Other reasons, however, ore discernible. The he glnnlng of weekly statements of condi tion by the New York trust companies In volved a heavy accumulation of cosh re serves by these. Institutions, which made an important requirements. It Is evident, also, that neither the banks outside the re serve cities nor the banks In reserve cities are Inclined to place as large a proportion of their reserves on deposit with the cen tral reserve banks as was done before last October and as Is still permitted by the national banking law. In coming reports of condition of the bunks on February 14. In response to the call or tho comptroller. show that reserve are being maintained at a high point. Public and legislative dis cussion of the desirability of raising the requirements for actual cash reserves In banks outside of the central reserve cities doubtless has its Influence on this situa tion. Poor net earnings, fears of coming dividend reduction and an Injunction against the distribution of a dividend al ready declared were sper-lflo causes for weakness In Individual stocks today. Re purchases were made of stocks sold short and the day's changes In prices are of no consequence. Bonds were easy. Total sales, par value S3.538.0OO. Erie general 4s broko 8 points to 65.

Totals 6.174 11,209 CATTUFi Receipts of cattle were liberal for a Tuesday, some 1,500 larger than a week ago, and while was quite a sprinkling of desirable fattened beeves the bulk of the offerings consisted of short-fed stuff and odds and ends. In general tho market was very little different from yesterday. Both local dressed beef men and outside buyers were looking for desirable cattle and values were well sustained on anything or this kind. On the other hand, there was so much of the medium ana common stuff here that buyers generally demanded some concession and salesmen .were forced to shade prices in many Instances In order to sell their stuff. The general tone to the trade was reasonably healthy and a very liiir clearance had Peen made Dy noon. The supply of cows and heifers was by no means excessive and yet there was a sufficient number here to prevent any ma terial Improvement In values. Good to choice stuff found ready sale at fully yes terday's figures and there was a good general demand for anything ot this kind Canncrs and cutters were in more liberal supply and with only a limited demand for this class of stuff buyers were generally able to lower prices, the decline In some cases being as much as MVXOc. The mar ket for veal calves was very dull and all but the Last grades ruled lower. Bulls, stags, etc., were In good demand and firm, There was a good Inquiry from all sources for stockers and feeders and values ruled steady fur anything at all desirable In this line. Light fat stuff of good quality was in good demand as usual of late. Feeder buyers took several loads of good short-fed, warmed-up steers at better prices than killers were willing to pay, but the total volume of business was of only moderate proportions.
