NKW YORK, Feb. 19 Operation In the
stock murker today were conducted with
nn eye to technical condition of the specu
Intlon. rnthcr than with a view to more
substantial considerations bearing on In
innnt values or earning power. The extent
to which the recovery nan run and the
rapidity wlih which It has been accom
plished plainly had an Infltienre In Inducing
dome doiihtn and hesitation In the pursuit
of the upward movement.
Tho reactionary tendency of Reading was
of especial Influence In that dlecil n, oftl-.g
to (up ii icling part that stock has playeu
In the upward movement. The absence of
new developments and the lack of con
firmation of earlier rumors which helped
Its advance Rave encouragement to the
stippoHltlon that the necessities of an uu
itoi'ihI snort Interest were playing an Im
portant part In the strength shown by tho
stock.
Additional Information corroborated the
opinion that Improvement was taking place
over the conditions dreaded In the recent
stock market depression. The cheerful tone
of the mercantile reviews voiced a convic
tion that fears of a severe trade recession
were groundless. The hopeful expressions
by Chnrls M. Schwab over steel trade pros
pects seemed to have a reassuring effect
on that subject.
The sharp drop In the cotton market to
day has a bearing on the International ex
change position, owing to the large sales
to I.lvevf ool which are reported. Tho non
tippemance of the expected cash gain In
the bank statement and the expansion of
the loan account In the actual showing
combined to cause a sharp Inroad on the
surplus reserve of the banks. The weak,
rinsing of the stock market may have been
due to a premonition of this showing.
Bonds Were firm. Total sales, par valuu.

OMAHA, Feb. 19. 1910.
1'iop damage reports were fewer this
morning and cash conditions were some
what more active. There was a firmer
feeling after the first early decline. Bullish
news was renewed Inter and the advance
at the close was rapid.
A selling fever was on In the com mar
ket. Traders were all bearish at the start
and plenty of long corn can.o out. A
slight Improvement In cash corn and the
firmer wheat market caused a reaction
later In the seeslun.
Wheat proved a surprise and ndvanced
quickly on shorts covering and better cash
demand. Damage reports were leas nu
merous and traders were more In favor of
a reaction. Shorts were the beet buyers
throughout the session.
Corn weakened sharply on heivy selling
orders after the opening, but firmed up
with wheat later and closed steady at Wo
advance. Cash corn was weak and values
sold off from lc to Ho below yesterday.
Primary wheat receipts were 42S.000
bushels and shipments were 117,000 bushels,
against receipts last ysar of 674,000 bushels
and shipments of 23S.O0O bushels.
Primary corn receipts were 811.000 bushels
and shipments were 406,000 bushels, against
receipts last year of 762.000 "jushels and

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Tradlnar nnd Closlna;
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, Feb. 19. Grain prices were
nervous and erratic today, declining early
and advancing In the final half on a gen
eral rush of shorts to cover, wheat loading
the other grains In both the decline and
the recovery. Provisions governed by lower
prices for live hogs fell off In the first
half and later struggled to recover, gain
ing slightly, but finishing generally lower
than yesterday.
A rush of sellers to the wheat pit caused
a decided drop In grain prices after a com
paratively firm opening. The Initial weak
ness of corn, which also ragged sharply,
contributed to the decline. The selling was
overdone, however, and when shorts sought
to cover little grain was in sight, and
prices rapidly recovered and attained
higher levels under tho strong demand. The
early decline was approxlmiately 4o and
the advance carried prices up from 14 to
140 above the low point. May moving
from sn opening at $1.184 to $1,134 down to
l.nei.lS't and then advancing to $1,144
.144. Crop damage reports, whloh again
made their appearance, naa lime eiinct
pn the figures, which were principally re
sponsive to the demand from speculators.
Tlif Close Was strong and not far from the
high point, with May 10 up at $1.141.144.
Liquidation ana mucn snort selling oy
speculators caused a rapid decline in corn
prices after a relatively steady opening.
The upturn In wheat lent strength to the
corn pit and an advance of from 4c to 14c
from the low point was registered. May
fell off to C6c and advanced to 664'3fl64c.
The other futures traveled In narrow lim
its. The close was strong at a shade off
from the high point, with May at Xc, W
4o higher than yesterday's final figures.
Oats reflected the course of the other
grains In an early decline and a later re
covery, the gains, however, not being so
pronounced as In wheat or corn. The close
was firm at near the high points, with
May at 4744740, unchanged from the
final figures yesterday.
Provisions prices were easier, responsive
to lower live hog values in the stock yards.
Opening figures were from 24c to 16c
lower, and the market declined still fur
ther. May pork falling to $23,474. Prospects
of a heavier live hog run next week had a
dragging effect and . quantities of the
products were transferred. Closing prices
for the May products were: Pork, $23.66;
lard, $12.724ftM2.76; ribs, $12.45.

CATTLE The market as usual on a Sat
urday was bare of supplies of cattle, there
not being enough of any one kind on sale
to really . make a test of values. -For the
week receipts have been quite liberal, run
ning about the same as last week and a
year ago, while the, market, has been In .a
very satisfactory condition as viewed from
seller s standpoint.
Under the Influence of a very active
buying demand on the part of local pack
ers and shippers, bee.f steers have Bteadlly
advanced this week and at the close of the
week are safely 2o40c higher than last
week. In other words, cattle are now sell
ing at the highest point touched in a long
time. While no strictly prime cattle have
been received with which to test the full
strength of the market, still cattle havs
been received good enough to bring $6.90.
w hat has been said regarding; beef steers
would apply equally - well to cows and
heifers. They, 100, have been In very ac
tive demand and have sold freely at stead
ily advancing prices and are now 25r40c
higher than a week atro.
with very moderate receipts of stockers
and feeders and with a good country de
mand cattle or that description have also
Improved very rapidly. The rapid advance
in beef cattle prices has been a source
of great encouragement to the country and
naa stimulated much freer buying than
has been noted for some time back. At
the close of the week anything at all de
sirable could be quoted 2540c higher than
last week's close.

HOGS The market opened on a firm
basis this morning, about fifteen loads
selling at prices generally steady with yes
terday's early trade. Movement was not
especially active, however, and the de
mand by no meant broad at these figures.
Only the more finished loads were wanted
and after their purchase, the demand flat
tened out and It was a hard proposition
to get any kind of an offer on the balance.
Toward midday, however, after most of
the hogs had been received and after lower
Chicago wires has been posted, buyers ap
peared In the alleys and demanded flat
nickel concession all along the line, with
the result that a good portion of later ar
rivals sold at this decline.
A spread of $3.85Sj8.96 bought up most of
the offerings as compared with yesterday's
bulk of $8.K5(&'9.00. Tops reached $9.05. as
compared with the same top of yesterday
and $8.85 a week ago.
The assertion that hogs have sold this
week the highest In the history of this
market Is true, but It Is not true of some
of the older markets. Hogs sold in lWo
near the close of the civil war on the basis
of $13 per hundred at Chicago. In 1870 a
top of $10 was made at Chicago.
The sensational prices paid for hogs at
all points this week did not come so much
from a shortage In receipts as from the
broad and urgent demand In fact, the
week's run at this point Is about 4,000 head
heavier than last week and about 2.000 head
larger than the supply dtirlrur the same
week last year. Almost 68.000 head were
sent In to this market this week and prices
went up to $9.06 on several occasions, which
is the highest price ever paid In the his
tory of the local trade. The net advance In
values over last week's close Is pretty
close to 25c. There has been a broad ship
ping demand on most days and plenty of
eastern orders Indicate that that part of
the country Is practically bare of hogs.

SHEEP The sheep bam was practically
bare of offerings today, as is generally the
case on a Saturday and the market re
mained nominally steady.
Receipts fur the ttlt are substantially
the same as last, about 82.600 being re
ceived during the last five days. The
supply has run largely to sheep and the
demand for stock of this description has
been fuAy adequate, so that everything
has sold Just about us rant as received
and an early clearance effected on moat
days. Wnlle the common In-between
strings of killers have been selling un
usually well, there has been a marked
preference (or finished ewes and yearlings
in buying circles, choice yearlings selling
as high as 1.1. UU. the best prices ever pun
at this point. Generally speaking, aJl kinds
of ewes, wethers and yearlings are Just
about 26-uCOc higher than at the close of
Inst week, tho more finished classes com
manding the greet er advance.
Larnhs were In fairly active request on
most dnys this week, but the call for young
stock Is not showing verv much urgency
with prices at present lofty levels. Still,
the tone to the trade Is anything but bear
ish and must of the talent predict record
breaking price before the end of the fed
season. The best lambs here lately sold at
$.100. and something strictly prime In this
line Is quotable up to $9 10. The net ad
vance In lamb prices for the week Is lust
about 10'aloc.
The volume of the feeder business this
week has been very limited owing to the
light supply of offerings suitable for
shearing and finishing. There Is a gener
ous demand for good shearing stock, lambs
especially, a fleshy kind going back Into
the country this week at $8 26. This la the
highest price paid for shearing lambs at
this point in the memory of the local talent.

BOOTS HAS CORKING FEED
Tes-Poasd Ham, Forty Tonne's ef .
Kale, Two Gallons of Beer L
aa a Filler.
At 7:46 o'clock Thursday night, lit. a llttttt
back room of a saloon In southeast Wash
ington, Boots Repettl leaned back aft his
chair, wiped the oil from his mustache
with the back of his hand, bit off a piece
of chewing' tobacco, and voiced a few
scathing remarks anent the niggardly hos
pitality of his hosts. The latter, in the pre
ceding two hours and forty-five minutes,
had furnished him the following repast:
One 10-pound boiled ham (skin and fat
included), two gallons of water, one barrel
of kale, or spinach, weighing forty pounds
when dry, and two gallons of beer.'
Repettl is a laborer of southeast Wash
ington, well known for his gastronomlo
ability. Boots says he is the all-rojind
long-distance eater of the south, anois
anxious to defend his title against all
comers. Yesterday's feat was arranged
last week, as the result of a discussion.
Boots thought . not enough of the affair
to lay a wager on the result. Others did,
and, It, is said, several hundred, dollar
chanted hands in the room after he had
finished.
With the principal there was nothing
amusing about the affair.- He had a title
to defend, and hopes of several gastro
nomlo battles royal In the future. In fha
small'. room, so crowded that his Jaws were
the only parts of , his person he could novo
unimpeded, he munched, took a fresh start
and munched some more, almost oblivious to
the Jests and exclamattona of wonder pass
ing between tho several hundred spectators
of the performance. Occasionally he would
smlla at '.some sally directed at him, but,
as a rule, ha was too busily occupledl to
reply.
The ham, suppplled by a Center market
butcher for the occasion, came first on
the menu. Armed with a knife, fork, larga
bottle of catsup, and a gallon pitcher of
water. Boots attacked it vigorously. In
exactly forty-two minutes he had dis
patched all that part usually eaten of a
ham. Then he ate the skin and fat. He
washed It down with another gallon of
water.
While waiting for the kale to be brought
to his table, Boots called for his first gal-
Ion of beer. His manager sampled It for
him, a proceeding Boots eyed Jealously.
After some one else had tasted the bev
erage Boots called It "no count," and
called for a fresh pitcher, which he guarded
carefully.
Some delay occurring in the appearance
of the kale, Boots bethought himself of a
means of keeping in practice. He took a
large chew of tobacco.
The kale, which when boiled down filled
three enormous platters, was brought on at
6:15 o'clock. The last empty platter was
taken from the table an hour and a half
later. A half pint of vinegar and a pint
of olive oil had been consumed at season- f
lng. The second gallon of beer washed It
down.
Repettl is a former employe of the navy
yard. At present he is working for a build
ing contractor. He Is about five feet ten 1
Inches In height, and weighs 165 pounds. Ha '
Is forty years old.
Boots has been the hero of several gas
tronomlo feats this winter. One day last
week, to determine a wager, he ale ot
meal sufficient for a family of twelve,
at the behest of the crew of the Mayflower.
The meal was prepared by John Schuerger,
and consisted of one roast turkey, weighing
ten pounds; one quart of cranberries, three
quarts of sauerkraut, one loaf of bread,
one-half pint of olive oil, one-half gallon
of raw oysters, one pint of catsup, twelve
stalks of celery, and a gallon of beer, 0a
another occasion ho at out an oyster
house.
Repettl eats slowly. His waist measures
about forty inches around Washington
Post.
