WKATHF.R IN THE GRAIN I1EI.T Colder Saturday for Nebraska the Net Result of Series of Changes. OMAHA. Feb. 25, 1910. An area of high pressure overlies the country east of the Missouri river, the ex treme lower valleys and southern states, with the crest of the hish over the lower lakes and St. Lawrence valley. Generally fair weather prevails over the territory cov ered by the high pressure, and tempera tures have fallen in the Atlantic and east gulf states since the lat report. An area of low pressure overlie the Hocky moun tains and no. thwest, with Us center over western Montana. This depression over the west Is causing generally unsettled weather throughout that portion. Light snows are falling this morning In the extreme upper Mis.-issippi and upper Missouri valleys, and rain and snows are general throughout the mountain district, with rains on the Pacific coast. Temperatures are very much higher from the lakes, west over the cen tral valleys Into the mountains, and the Indications are for warmer In this vicinity tonight, probably turning colder by Satur day afternoon or night, with continued partly cloudy Nveather. . . 1910. 1909 1908. 1907 Minimum temperature.... 24 20 34 80 Preclnltatlon 00 .00 .00 .00 Normal temperature for today, 27 degrees.

'NEWS" IS UNSATISFACTORY Professional Who nonaht Thursday Hastily Resell When Hrporta of that Ia Are Nol Ion. firmed. NEW YORK, F.l. 25. The lift to pi Ices In yesierdny s stock market proved a dis appninttntnt In Its Hft r effects tid.iy. 1'he movement flattened i.ut after fuille at tempts to extend i; by the professional board room trader. The latter part of the day was about as dull us the early part of yesterday. Some of the "news" on which the rise was based proved so unsatisfactory to tne professional buyers that they hastily re sold meir takings. The Southern railroad stocks fell back sharply, owing to lack ot confirmation of yesterday's reports ot a financial plan which would carry valuable rights to stockholders. The conviction was confirmed by the developments that the stock maiket was falling Into a rut and was destined to a period of dullness. The pendency of the settlement of the wage quescloti by the Southern railway Is no helpful to the aivocate of higner prices. The condition or tno winter planted crops comes into Increasing importance. Conflicting reports of the amount of dam age dene in the southwest by the severe weather wre an Influence both In thi stock and wheat markets. The report of earnings for January presented by the Atcntson. lopeka Santa Fe oirered an osjeel lesson of the cost of storm block-' ades to the railroads. The operating cost tor ine system was run up $l,624.4ii over that of January last year, thus convert ing a gain In gross earnings of over $500.- 0 into a net decrease of $1,000,000. A significant development is the heavy retirement of nolo circulation which the banks have entered upon. Deposits for that purpose with the subtreafiury ere largely responsible for the week's large gain by that Institution, which reached 6,i;iS.ooo. Evidently the banks are no longer ahle to keep their notes In circula tion and are retiring them. The move ment Is noteworthy aa being unaccom panied by any scarcity or advance in the price of government bonds. This action Sfts up a correction of condition resulting from the emergency measures following tne financial crisis of 1907 and the cur rency famine which ensued when enormous Issues of bank notes were Injected Into the circulation, supplemented by heavy Im ports of gold. The persistence of the bank note Issues have helped to keep un prices of commodities, which have, in turn, dis couraged export demand, stimulated im port demand and operated to force out gold from the country.

This makes the total for the five duy 22,800 head, a gain of over 4,000 head aa compartd with the tame days last week and of close to 9,000 head aa compared with the corresponding peilod of a year ago. Buyers who were In need of a few more cattle this morning were out early and picked up some of the more desirable of ferings at prices that did not look so very much lower, but when It became apparent Uow large receipts really were buyers gen erally laid down on the market to the ex tent of at least 10c and In some cases pos sibly lO-ii lie.

A few se lected loads po-'slbly showed even greater improvement, but the amount ot business at any greuter advance was too meager to affect the big volume of trade In the neighborhood of a hundred Inuils told pretty cloae to 60 higher, or, In other words, most of the receipts were welched up on this basis.' ... Toward the close, after packers and ship per had filled their larger orders, the demand eased off considetably and bidj were lowered ali along the line, with the result that late hogs told but little. If any, better than yesterday A considerable portion of the offerings were purchased at a spread of $916(u9.10 as compared with yesterday's bulk of u'lua i.Ho. Tops reached $a.4v, which figure is t the highest ever paid at thl point In the history of the trade. Yesterday's tops. It will be remembered, slopped at tViYi.
