Liverpool cables mine strong anil higher following the domestic advance of yeter clay.

CHICAGO. Feb. 2 -Toward the last wheat turned todny after much covering had been done by short sellers. There was no other buying to keep prices up and loRlng figures were the same as last night to li.4i:so below. The day's trading left corn exactly unchanged from twenty-four hours previous, oats not altered or Vc down and hog products at 12Hc to 30c ad ance. Although wheat was on tap for both May and July during an bulges, the market held above yesterday's closing level a good part of the day. Home attempts were made to show that there had been damage In the southwest, but they were not accom panied by any orders to purchase. The esrly firmness followed reports that Argen tine shipments would be small compared with last night's huge total. Other bullish factors were light receipts northwest and the absence of moisture southwest. A big Increase in stocks at Minneapolis and Du 1 11 1 h 1,123.000 bushels so far this week largelv offset, however, the effect of small arrival today at those points. The market for futures grew weak In the final hour and ciosed easy at almost the bottom fig ures of the session. May ranged from WUe to 97't.c, with latest trades ie off at iXiVrWuc. The corn market was mostly higher. Storage room has become so scarce here that vessel room for 500,000 bushels was chartered today to await the opening of lake navigation.

In Which F.ffeet of Better Re ports s Manifest. NEW YORK, Feb. 2. Nervous and un settled movements characterised operation! today in the stock market. After a mixed opening the market developed signs of heaviness, doubtless due to realizing sales as well as to lack of demand from short Interests, which covered extensively on the recent rise. In the afternoon trading the market grew stronger. Among the railroads, which have over shadowed the remainder of the li?t of late, movements were mixed. The Hill issues were under pressure throughout the morn ing and Northern Pacific was set back two points, only to recover part of its loss later. The Harrlman stocks did little in the early hours, but later a strong buying movement Bent them up materially. American Car and Foundry. Distillers' Se r!Jr,',t,e" and Central Leather were espe cially strong. United States Steel main tained tta prominent position, rising to a new high level for the present movement. Continued strength marked the day's transactions In the copper group, in which the effect of better trade reports is being Telt. Large export Bales and a better In quiry at home and abroad were reported. The relatively stronger position of the railroads of the country Is reflected In com bined statistics of eighteen systems for December, which shows an Increase In net earnings of $13,590,000, or 7.39 per cent. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $3,9o9.0fl0. United States 3s, registered, ad vanced U pn call. Number of sales and leading quotatlona on stocks were as follows: in. , S. Hlsh. Low. CIom.

The sharp break In prices may possibly have had something to do with cutting down ' receipts, the country being Inclined to hold brfok and await better prices. Still there waa a fair run for a Thuraday and the total for tne four days foots up 22,000 head, or about 1,000 head leas than last week's excessively large run and about 8,500 head more than a year ago. In spite of the fact that advices from other selling points Indicated a bad open ing with prices again sharply lower, tho market, here opened about steady. The quality of beef steers was very poor, pack ers complaining that there are an ex tremely small number of really desirable beef steers. Still they picked up the early arrivals In fairly good shape at about tha same prices that prevailed yesterday. The market on cows and heifers was also quoted about steady with yesterday, there being comparatively little change in either dlrectlou. While tha trade was rSTTier late in getting started, still It was In talr condition. There was was some) little Inquiry for desirable feeders and anything coming under that head sold in about the same methods as yesterday. Good, well-bred hornless stock sold as high as $(. Toward the close, after the more urgent orders had been filled, the market eased off on practically all kinds, closing a little lower than yesterday.

Heavy receipts made a convenient lever fur bearish pur pujtit, of course, but packers failed to take into account the demand from shippers and speculators, orders from these quarters were unusually large and served, .11 no small degree to produce the brisk tone to trading that featured movement of bulk. Viewed as a whole. It waa generally steady on call weights, the big end of a H' !; supply clearing in very good season. Quality was good on an average and offer ings ran u, butcher and bucon grades aa t.Hull. Mock of the latter description met v.tth preference and headed the list of sales. Tops remained at $7 40 and longs ranged from $7.20 to $7 30. Heavieg and rough parking animals earn (n for mora V prejudice, and had to move at the low fig. tires. While uncertainty In tha pttrrtaton, trad was credited with reoent weaa KJwne, tha same condition Is generally ascribe! aa a strengthening Influent today. lYod uct traders are keeping a sharp ay en the speculative demand for both hog and pork, and a revival of order from this quarter Is decidedly significant.

Right around twenty-five doubles were posted, but actual offerings early hardly exceeded eight or ten doubles, not enough stock to put values on a broad business basil. Desirable strings found an outlet at gen erally steady prices. Indicating a scale of quotations unchanged. Inquiry was more or less indifferent, however, and It was evl dent that cheaper cost would have, been a part or purchasing policy had receipts been liberal. Local sales lately, especially In the lamb branch ot the trade, have been little different from those made at eastern points, so .that an easier tendency Is warranted. Lambs with weight sold as high as $5.76 this morning and It would take strictly choice quality to command $5.90. This lat ter figure applies only to handy grades. of course, as long finish is too plentiful this season to attract a premium. Sheep moved after a serial fashion, vari ous offerings selling at levels noted yester day snoriiy alter arrival, uood ewes are quotable as high as $3.76 and the light kind of wethers would probably reach $4.00. Dur ing the four daya this week receipts of all classes of stock have been rather large, values weakening in consequence. Average declines are right around l.Vu2ic, lambs showing a more erratic tone than sheep.

Charles P. Chase, con sulting engineer of Clinton, la, deMrareo tha address. Mr. Chase touched upon tha various kinds of street paving and pointed out that cement waa tha beat material. Ha explained the cost Incurred by tha different methods. Erasmus Haworth, stata geologist of tha University of Kansas, waa an Interesting lecturer of the morning on tha subject of "Practical Tests on Portland Cement." Hs recounted ths result of all testa mad upon concrete, showing how remarkably durable that material Is. The management of the exposition carried out Thursday tho plan of lowering tha stage curtain so that tha stag waa effect ually shut out from the noises and dis traction of the main Auditorium floor. V large number of seats wer placed on th stage and the entire gathering of cement dealers received ample accommodation as auditors of the meetings. The principal attraction of th exposition continue to be the operation of different concrete and cement mixing machine. Crowds surrounding each exhibit are treated to a special lecture and demonstra-, tion on the way concrete materials are manufactured. A a result of the Individual booth dem onstrations, a great number of machine snd large quantities of materials have been sold during the show thua far. The cement exposition bids fair to stand unique as an attraction at which an enormous amount of direct business has been done. Th dealers present average three or four sale a day, It Is reported. From tha activity In this respect, It Is shown that visitors aa well as exhibitors at ths exposition are attending for tha purpose of doing business and not purely for pleasure or general advertising.. Omaha stands well to the for In ti exhibition with the displays made by the-i Omaha Concrete company and tha Patton-i Bowman company and several others. The Omaha Concrete company has an ex hibit of a concrete balustrade, massive in structure and tastefully designed. i. Dakota Wesleyan Campaigns for Fun Only $45,000 More Must Be Raised to Meet Conditions of Rocke feller Gift. MITCHELL, S. D., Feb. l.-8peclal.)-Dakota Wesleyan university of this city has been exceptionally fortunate In being selected among one of th ten colleges of the country to receive an award from the Rockefeller educational fund, and President Kerfoot has Just received the official announcement from Secretary Butt- , tick that the Board of Education has awarded the sum of $60,000 to the univer sity. This sum Is to become a part of th $250,000 endowment that the Institution 1 raising at the present time, and In a way will lessen tha work of securing th full amount. . The conditions under which th $60,000 is , given Is that $160,000 Is to be Invested and ,v preserved Inviolably for an endowment fund and that $100,000 may be used for th erec tion of the science hall and gymnasium. The terms Imposed are readily accepted by the Institution and in fsct are the terms asked by the officials. The present situation is that only $45,010 remains to be raised of tha $250,000, as $50,000 y' Is given by Jamss J. Hill and $50,000 b the cltlxens of this city.
