CORN SALES ARE STILL HEAVY Wet Weather Knconrnsjea Snpport (.eneral Mains la Wfrt Af fect All Qnotatlons ton. dltlone Bearish. OMAIIA. Feb. IS, 1911. The situation In wheat In an uneven one. The market has hud a Ion decline from its high points aril unrler ordinary conditions the trade should feel Justified In believing the break had discounted the bearish sltua tlon. Hut as prices have declined the cash wheat demand has not revived as expected and Rood tains have fallen over the whole winter wheat belt, coming on top of a big surplus carried over from 1910, with no foreign demand to take it. Corn sales continue large and this with the wet weather encouraged support be cause of the feeding possibilities of this cereal. On tha other hand there is lots of corn back In tha country which will move sooner or later and check any decided advance. Wheat was steady during the whole ses sion and averaged slightly higher values on covering by shorts. Conditions are still bearish with no Improvement In cash condi tions and no permatura advance Is looked for. Cash wheat locally sold Vic lower. The corn market held firm today helped by some strength In wheat and sentlrntnt leans to the long side. Weather prdlctions ate more favorable as coolr temperatures ar fori anted and this w ill allow a freer movement from country dealers. Cash corn was firm to c higher.

Hog products closed within 2V4J either way from Inst night's figures. Rumors that bubonic plailue was spread ing to the Russian sea coat cities proved more than sufficient to offset so far as the wheat market was concerned the effect of rain and snowfall in the American southwest. Comparatively few traders, however, were disposed to be seriously Worried about the plague hampering Lurupeon business to any alarming extent. The bulls were aided by predictions of lighter world's shipments and by the be lief that a decrease would appear in the total stock at Liverpool. a decided drag In prices, notwithstanding, resulted from the absence of anv Improvement In he cull for cash wheat. The market closed under the top prices and with the tone a trifle easier. May ranged from uO'-i o to lVkc. with last sules Vic up at 9lVf 81 Ho. Corn ruled a little higher on account of wet weather and the wheat advance. May fluctuated from 4840 to 44itlc and In the end was steady, witu May V.c up at 49c. Cash was firm.

INDUSTRIAL LINLS LOOK GOOD Prediction that HeKlucllon In the Cost of Living- "Will Improve Condi tion of the Laboring People. NEW YORK. Feb. 18.-(Speclal Telegram.) The tone of the stock market during the week was not reflected on the general busi ness conditions of the country which con tinued with an upward tendency that has been In evidence since the first of the year. The course of the stock market was not illogical. The market in its recent upward trend, has kept pace with. If It has not gone ahead of the trade Improvement, and the various speculative Interests behind the movement availed themselvs of a temporary broadening of operations to liquidate. The passing of the control of the Missouri Pa cific to two of the most Important financial interests without any contest, greatly in fluenced the situation. This, however, did not come soon enough to prevent what was regarded as a very natural reaction. In contrast to th9 reactionary spirit In the stock market was a very good Investment sentiment regarding new railway bonds and notes, of which there were authorisa tions during the week of about $l,000.0u0. Part of these have already met with prompt absorption, and It Is understood that nego tiations for the balance have been com pleted, or are In a very fair way of being accomplished In the near future. Europe participated in some of the week's absorp tion and it Is expected to take a still more active part in Issues yet to be placed. Improvement In Industrials. Probably the greatest Improvements dur ing the week along Industrial linen was In the Iron and steel. The Increase of 14'4 per cent In the output of the blast furnaces of the United States Steel corporation from the low point of the year Is certainly a remarkable Improvement, and this has been followed by a remarkable Improvement In the workable capacity of all steels In the matter of finished products. The foreign trade of the country, as out lined In the January statistics of the gov ernment, continues on n highly favorable basis., and this. In Itself, la one of the most important features of the general sit uation. Aside from purely financial affairs, the noted reduction In the cost of living through a decline in the price of somo of the leading articles of food, will have the effect of Improving the condition of the laboring people. Italna Affeet Market. This week the fall In prices of wheat and flour attracted wide attention, espe cially In view of the marked decline that has taken place from the high point a year ago. The Canadian reciprocity move ment has exerted a sentimental Influence, but a still greater effect has been pro duced on the commodity markets by the rains of the week over a wide expanse of territory In the southwest The prospects of winter wheat have been materially Im proved by these rains, which means that the farming community Is preparing for the planting and cultivating of large crops during the season in the southwest. It Is a distinctly auspicious circumstance that seems to be lending a rather re spectable aggregate of money abroad just now, although the negotiations for the sale of some of the new sureties In Europe Is a curious counter operation. That the United States la a lender to London and Berlin particularly results in great part doubtless from the marked Improvement In our foreign trade since last August. Through funding a good deal of the floating Indebtedness to Europe by the sale of securities to European creditors and through the excess of commodity and mer chandise exports over Imports In recent months It might not be a bad guess that on balance this country Is temporarily an International creditor rather than a debtor. Stocks Mrona- at Close. 1 Strenth and activity prevailing in the clos ing hours of m session of the stock market that opened moderately active, marked an unusual business for Saturday on the ex change. , The reduction in the German bank rate waa regarded as a favorable factor In the opening, and the resumption of dividends on Southern' Railway, preferred, was. hi the opinion of tha speculators an Indica tion that the Morgan Interests were inclined to take an optrmlstlo view of the outlook. Southern Railway, preferred, opened at an advance of 1V4 points, while tha common started with a gain of nearly 1 point. -. The Erie's were affected sympathetically by the Southern Railway .development and their market prospects were canvassed with a good deal of Interest. An Initial advance of 12 points was scored by St. Paul, and both Union Pacific and Southern Pacific appeared to possess sub stantial strength. Northern Pacific was an other feature. While steel did not quite come up to Its London equivalent, It was strong, appar ently deriving a portion of Its strength from the Inferences as to the attitude of powerful banking interests drawn from the declaration of the dividend on Southern Railway, preferred. An increase of $3,800,000 In surplus wag shown by the week-end bank figures. This was partly obtained by the addition of $6,600,000 to the actual capital holdings about what has been estimated but to some extent due to the placing of the week's new loans with the trust companies. Ians at the associated banks decreased $5,700,000 on the week. The actual surplus reserve is now the largest for this time of the year since 1S97.

For tho week receipts foot up 23, lua head, being a gain In round numbers of 4.700 head aJ compared with last week and 4,300. head as compared witn the same week last year. The market on beet steers broke very badly during tho first two days of the week, being generally quoted 25c lower on Tuesday. On Wednesday there was a par tial recovery, which wiped out consider able of the loss, but during the latter half of the week the market again showed a lack of strength, bo that at the close of the week it Is safely around lwuloc lower on tho general run of cattle. Some of the best handy weight steers possibly would not show that much lo, but even they are weaker than at the close of last week. Cows and heifers broke badly the first of the week the same as beef steers, and they also recovered a good share of the decline oil Wednesday, continuing steady to strong during the rest of the week. Thua at the close they are very little dif ferent from what they were at the close of last week. The demand for cow stuff has been good on most days and cattle of that description have been free sellers, there being in addition to the local de mand a good shipping- demand, which ha kept the receipts well cleaned, up. . The rainy weather put feed yarda In ex ceedingly bad condition, so that tha coun try did not seem very ready to buy stock cattle and feeders. At the same time the severe break at the beginning ot tha week wheat the demand for feeders should be tha beat had a discouraging effect upon buyers. The result waa that the feeder trade has lacked Its usual life and strength this week and at the close most points are. around It'll 15c lower than last week. Possibly the best bred green cattle might not show much change.

HOGS A light supply of hogs failed to attract very much competition this morn ing and movement was draggy from start to finish. Some effort was made at cheap ening cost but bearish Ideas did not meet with sellers' approval and a generally steady market resulted. No class of buyers filled their orders with any degree of free dom but local packing outlet was the broadest, as on most daya lately, and bulk moved into killing pens. Good butcher grades sold around $7.00 and best bacon animals up to $7.15. Extra heavy packing offerings had to sell at un even margins under $7.00. Closing trade was very Blow at shaded figures on all weights. During the week, the market in general has been a very' fair illustration of a per iod in which the marketward movement Is the supreme factor in determining prices. Total receipts the first two duys were liberal and values broke In consequence. some reaction since has been due to smaller runs but early losses were not wholly recovered. Present prices are Just about lixriaic lower than those In force a week ago. Representative tales: M. At. Ih. ft.

NEW FLAKS C0N1INUALLY FORV Mlnnenpolla llsi'.ker Asserts Itelle) the Dnilnria Conditions Arc Ex rrllrnl In spots Favors llerlproelty. ' ' BY PRESTON C. ADAMS. NEW YORK. Feb. 18-tSpeclal to Th Bee.) One of the most encouraging busi ness signs of the times Is the apparent disposition on the art of the great rail road svstema not onlv to undertake tha absolutely necessary work to put them In 1 xliapn to handle current business properly. Inn to undertake tneal Improvement pro jects which mean the expenditure of val sums and Indicates a most gratifying con fidence in the future. The Hill and llarriman systems are tha leaders in the movement, but they are no! by any means alone. Ilaruly a tiny i uskcs that there are not announcements oi new plans along thil line by one road or another. The railroads are not alone In seeing prospeilty. For example, Edward V . . 'e.ner. vice president oi tne i-Nwimwewi-ern National bank of Minneapolis and president of the Minnesota Loan snd Trusi company, who has been In the city, speak ing of the outlook In the northwest, said; llnslnesa Conditions tJood. "Intrinsically bimlness conditions ara good, except in a few snots In the spring wheat territory, where the crops were ba'L The only stop to a healthy development - Is sentimental, and even sentiment cannot stop the growth of the nmthwest. The action of the Union and Southern Taclflo directors In deciding to go ahead with ex tensive improvements cannot help but tend toward good business, and lt will be necea sary for the other railroads to follow this example if they want to keep up with the march of progress. When the railroads begin to show confidence and spend money, other business will follow suit. "Our bank has over 1.100 correspondent In the strip from Minneapolis to the coast, so we keep In close touch with conditions, and know that they are good. To take an example: You in the east are accus tomed to look on Montana as a region of mountains and mines and a land of sheep grazing, hut I firmly believe that it will not be long before Montana Is producing PKi.000.000 bushels of wheat yearly. East Montana has a wonderfully fertile soil, and with the advance of irrigation and dry farming, there is practically no limit to Its possibilities. "In southern Oregon and northern Cali fornia there Is a tract of country larger than the middle states that is without n railroad. This also is a rich artcultural. as well as timber country, and with rail roads Is bound to develop marvel a fly. Both the Harrlman and Hill interest., are alive to this fact and are building In rapidly. Judge Ixivett has not caught Mr. Hill asleep, and If the other railroad man agers will stop worrying about political agitations I am sure they will find that the time will never come when they can not get a fair return on their Investments. All this country cannot be developed with out railroads, but Immigrants .nd business are sure to follow the roads when thny are built. llerlproelty Good Thlnar. - "Personally, I am sure that reciprocity with Canada would be a great boon for my section of the country, and indirectly for the east. Few people yet realize that vast - possibility of northwestern Canada. It Is an Immense and very rich territory.v and with the tariff barriers removed, great tV quantities of grain would undoubtedly come to the milling centers of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and in return agricultural machinery and dry goods of all klr-ds would be forwarded from there. And. of course, these supplies would come to ua from further east, while the inllroads would get the benefit of the traffic both ways. But wheat growing is only one phase of the development that Is coming In Canada In which the United States should partici pate. "We do. not look for or want boom times. The natural, healthy growth of the coun try Is quite sufficient for the development of an enormous business In which all classes of the community would benefit. There will be opposition to reciprocity on the part of farmers, who fear that the price of their wheat may be affected. Personally I doubt that the effect. If anv, would bo more than temporary, for after all tho price of tv heat Is made In Liverpool, tin the other hand, these farmers overlook the Indirect benefit that would come to their communities and thus In the long; run to themselves from the general pros perity.") rr, English Criticism. Both criticism and praise of American railways, were embodied in a statement made by W. M. Acworth. the English rall Mauretanla. Mr. Acworth has been making; a study of American railroads during the last two months, Incidentally testifying be fore the president's railroad aeeuriiias commission. He has made several previous examinations of American railroads at In tervals of two or three years. The principal defect that Mr. Acworth mentions as of Amerlcnn railway manage ment lies In "the centralization of admlnl- tratlve power In headquarter'a offices IT Chicago and New York, which whllo tend ing, nouDtless, to efficiency and economy, is responsible in some degree for the present strained relations between the rallwava and the public." Matters that arise In Kansas. In Texas, in the far south. In tho far west and need prompt adjustment have to be referred, Mr. Acworth pointed out. to officers 1,000 or 2.000 miles away, and the citizen thinks he is dealing with a machine. "I think," said Mr. Acworth. "that in these various Important sections of your country the large railway systems should have real executive officers with the largest possible discretion to deal with local ques tions on the spot. I also think that tho ranking officers of your railways should every now and then visit the different com munities along their lines and cultivate tha personal acquaintance of their citizens." Skeleton All llnrled. Mr. Acworth Is of the opinion that the skeletons in the railroad cupboards have all been burled, and that now the roads "would do well to open their cupboards and let the public see how sweet and clean they are." In actiml economy of operation, Mr. Ac worth thinks, the American railroads ara first In the world, and he expressed sur prise at the sluice given by newspapers to criticism of railroad efficiency. "in tho number of tons per car and cars per train," ho said, "in the fullest utilization of locomotives. In the obtaining of tho greatest measure of result for each unit of expenditure, they are not equaled by tha railroads li. this country, and have reached a higher standard In international comparison than farmers or government, and that under greater difficulties. Hoalneas Donbllngr. "The Investora of Europe and even your own Wall street seem hardly to grasp tha enormous amount of money that must be spent upon your railroads to keep psca u-ltH vmir itriiwlnir traffic, if votir trafflo doubles every ten years, as It substantial!"! does, vou will need not perhaps to douhla . your facilities every ten ears. but to in crea.e the.n at least hy ''0 per cent. Tha $l,10t'.000,ix per year specified by Mr. Hill as necessary for this purpose Is none too much. The inhabitants of your western and southern states, your people In general, must understand that this capital cannot be obtained in their own communities. vucnr Market. NEW YORK.
