The cables were disappointing and re
flected heavily on the domestic msrket.
There wag a lock of demand and (piling
was more -general, and value slumped
lightly.
Wheat was easy on weak cables which
cama an a disappointment to the bull fac
tion. Selling became general when lata
cables continued lower and the advance
Jesterday waa not maintained. 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. Some locals sold on
the easier wheat market and values were
sums lower at the close. Way oats opened
at 4-Sc and closed at 48c.

CJIICAGO, OUAW AND PROVISIONS
ilea to re of the' Tradln and Closlii
I'rloas W Poard of Trade.
.CHICAGO, Feb. 26. 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.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Neglected Condition of Wall Street
Market is Unrelieved.
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.

ng was moderate, about twenty-five loads,
,hoo head being on sale. The receipts.
lowever, were sufficiently largo to enable
ackers to secure supplies at not more
lian steady prices even on the most suit
able offerings. In the lamb division sev
eral loads on the heavy order were received
and these proved to be very poor sellers
at weak prices. The market on lambs
yvsterday was rather unsatisfactory and
nine lower and sales this morning showed
110 Improvement over yesterday.
For handy weights of mutton grades of
ewes, wethers and yearlings there was no
special change and while the trade was
slow, prices were quoted about steady on
anything at all desirable.
In the feeder division the market was
also quiet. While the offerings were
limited, the demand was also small and
while there waa no material change In
prices, the trade showed more or less
weakness In sympathy with the market on
mutton trades

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.

demand on the market today, for the settle

nes regarding the lsbor crisis, while
Argentine rails ruled quite strong. In the
foreign section, Kaffirs weakened on Paris
selling. American shares started the day
moderately steady. They then dropped be

liuua mere was a very good run o
hogs today, the supply being consider
ably larger than for tins tlmt, last week.
In point of quality there was no notice
able change, the offerings running to ex
tremes of choice heavy or Inferior under
weight grades. All the local packers had
lileral orders to fill and there was also
quite a little demand for shipping ax-count,
so that with favorable advices from east
ern points and some Improvement in the
provision market, the trade was active
right from the start, with prices generally
54tKc higher than yesterday all around,
the advance being well sustained right up
to the close. The top today brought $ '6.
as against $4.S0 yesterday and the bulk of
the offerings went at $4,0644.16, as against
$3 Ii'u-4.t6 yesterday.
