Chaotio Condition of Steel Trade
Throw b Market Into Confusion.
PBICES ARE GENERALLY LOWER
Minor Steel Stocks Are Deaaerallsed
and Ieeaes at Big Corpora
tloa Show Decided
tlam.
NEW TORK, Feb. BO.-The steel trade
position was the one subject of discussion
In ths stock market today. The choatio con
dition Into which ths steel trade has boon
thrown by ths announced determination of
ths United tltstes Steel corporation to
modify prices in such wise aa la neoessary
to securs business Is fully equalled by the
confusion of speculative opinion as to the
rises to be apprehended from this action.
There was evidence in the current comment
In the stock market of equal confusion
over the motives which prompted tha action
of the steel Interests.
The excited speculative element was In
clined to search for secret springs of ac
tion on the part of vast capitalists groups.
Irresistible pressure from a financial group
devoted to railroad ownership and construc
tion for lower prices for material was one
explanation advanced. Railroad stocks,
In fact, were relatively lKtle affected by
the demoralisation In the stool Industrials
and there was an effort to read only ad
vantage; for the railroads In the meeting
of sn open market for ateel products.
Boms minor steel companies' stocks were
much demoralised and slumped violently.
The fall In United States Steel was more
restrained. Influenced by ths worldwide
participation in the market for that stock.
The flood of liquidation In United States
Steel was constant, however, and Its laat
price of 4d waa tbe lowest of ths day. The
break In Colorado Fuel reached over f
points, Republic Bteel preferred t and the
common more than 4 points. Pennsylvania
suffered a decline of 2V points In accord
ance with the large proportion of Its trarflo
which is made up of steel and steel
products. Outside of this and Reading B
point decline ths loss In the railroad list
was moderate and at times during ths
short sseaton there were points of strength
In that department.
The bank statement disclosed the
strengthening of ths banking position
which has been effected during the week.
Discounts hardened today in London. There
was at the sams tims very heavy selling
ot stocks In New York today for foreign
account. Ths effect of all these factors
was seen In a further , wide advance In
foreign exchange rates, sufficient to revive
discussion of possible gold exports from
here to London.
Bonds were Irregular, with very heavy
dealings In the Southern railway improve
ments. Total sales, par value, 84,112.000.
United States 2s, registered, declined K
snd the coupon advanced per cent on
call during ths week.
Numbsr of sales sn nrtnclpal quotation
on stocks were as follows!

deliveries are sxpected to increase.
Wheat waa strong to higher on a strong
cash situation, large cash wheat sales being
reported at fancy prlcea. Reports of im
proved weather outlook weakened tha dis
tant futures, but on the whole the situa
tion Is unchanged and all advances are
being well supported and sustained. May

Corn weakened with wheat and reports of
larger axceptancea and Increased country
offerings: The csah market was lower and
the demand was not as active after the
early offerings were absorbed. May corn
opened at 6OV0 and closed at 04c.

CHICAGO, Feb. 20. Wheat for May de
livery sold here today at 8116 per bu.,
overtopping by 44,3 tne r6cori mark for the

sion. Tha gain, however, was not main
tained, the market weakening under heavy
rallxing sales. At the close prices were
o lower to 4To higher, compared with
yesterday's final quotations. Corn, oats
and provisions closed weak.
Wtda fluctuations In tha price of the May
delivery marked trading In tha wheat pit,
the range for the day being lo. The
sharp upturn to a high level occurred In
the first fifteen minutes of the day, when
the May option rose to 81-16. after open
ing at tl 1641.15. Tha advance waa due
to buying by prominent longs and by local
shorts, who were actuated by an advance
of M-So in Liverpool. Tha bulge brought
out liberal realising sales, part of which
were credited to the leader of tha bulla.
This caused a quick break to BT.14. May,
however, rallied and closed heavy at 8L1&H
1.16. July closed at 81.00ai.00.
Anticipating a liberal movement of corn
next week, owing to Improved conditions,
local holders sold freely throughout tha
enlira day, causing sharp losses In all de
liveries. At the close prices wsrs flc to
4jo lower, with May at 4&o and July
at 64itrlo,
Oats weakened under realising aalea by

CATTLE Receipts of cattle as usual on
a Saturday were not large enough to maka
a market or create any Interest on the part
of buyers. For the week the receipts have
been very liberal, showing a large gain over
last week and a slight gain over a year ago.
The market as a whole has been very un
satisfactory to the selling Interests, with
the trade on most days slow.
Ths week started out with beef steers sell
ing a littls stronger and with tha trade con
siderably mors actlvs than at the close of
the previous week, but on Tuesday and
Wedneaday under the Influence ot very re
ceipts prices broks badly and the trade at
the ssme time was extremely dull. During
ths last two days of the week receipts wera
very much lighter and the trade took on a
little morelife. At the close of the week
beef steers are all ot 16tf25o lower than tha
previous week.
Cows and heifers followed very closely
after tha steer market, that Is, they showed
strength st the beginning of ths week,
breaking badly a littls later on and closing
somewhat more active. Still they ara all
lOu 16c. lower for the week.
With beef steers breaking badly there waa
very little encouragement in the market
for feeders and the country accordingly
bought very sparingly. Speculatora who
loaded up quite heavily at the beginning of
tha week found It a hard matter to dlsposa
of their purchases and prices sagged off all
along the 11ns, showing a losa for tha week
of 10&16O.
Buyers and sellers alike ara watching tha
trend of the cattle market with the greatest
Interest. While one side Is basing Its be
lief In high prices upon the high price of
corn and ths cost of making beef, the other
side Is pointing to ths fact that business
conditions In the east are not very encour- '
aging and that there la an unusually large
number of people who are not financially
able to consume high-priced meats.

HOGS The rapid break In the hog mar
ket reaultod In very light receipts thla
morning, only forty-nine fresh cars being
reported In addition to ten or twelve light
loads carried over from yesterday. 'Tha
market opened 6c higher this morning on
the better kinds of mixed and heavy hogs
and a good shars of such loads as found
favor In buyers' eyes sold on that basis.
It was very apparent, however, that therw
was no great amount of strength In tha
trade snd It very quickly eased off, closing
with all of ths advance lost. Right good
heavy hogs sold up to (6.26, with a good
share of the light and mixed loads of fair
quality selling at 36.eU36.uO.
The receipts of hogs this week have been
very liberal, footing up over 64.000 head, aa
against 42,000 head last week and 64,000 head
a year ago. The week opened with a sharp
advance In the market, hogs selling on
Monday at the highest point touched si now
the previous Thursday. On Tuesday a
sharp break set In, which continued until
today, when there was a little mora
strength to tha trade, aa noted above.
Even after allowing for this the market
at the close of the week Is on an averaga
20c lower than at the close of last week,
or 'Jtc lower than on Monday.

8H EEP There ware no fresh receipts oi
aheep, at least nothing of any consequence,
and ths market was bars of supplies. For
the week the receipts foot up t9,UJ0 head, as
against 26,6uo huttd last week and 9,400 head
a year ago.
..'" close of the previous week and at
the beginning of the present. It was noted
several limes in these columns that thart
appeared to be an undercurrnt of weak
ness to ths trade. For some reason of
other psckers did not seem to have very
much confidence In the future of the mar
ket, and whlls they were buying the ar
rivals they were evidently bearish In their
views. Thus It waa not at all surprising
that ths market broke badly later on aa
the receipts became very large. As rarlcea
declined it seemed ss If the demand Im
proved aad packers really buught mors
freely on the breaking market than they
did before. At the close of ths week tha
goneral market Is around 26c lower than
last week and possibly 263io lower on
heavy yearlings.
There has been a god buying demand all
the week for stuff that would do to sliear
and feed out for the later market, and
buyers of this kind of stuff have con
tributed very materially to keeping tha
general market In a good, healthy condi
tion by cleaning up everything that laicJk
ers did not snpear to cars fir. . i
