Bullish Enthusiasm in Fit Qives Way
to Bearish. Influence.
WHEAT TRADERS ARE WAITING
Sprcnlator Laying- Lorr for IJeterl

from Argentina Corn
Shows Sonic Losses.
OMAHA, Feb. 18. 1914.
The bullish enthusiasm In the wheat
market, so pronounced nt the closo of
l)!..;ness Tuesday, gavo way to a bearish
feeling with fractional decline at the closo
yesterday. Tho Bales were probably 160,
000 bushels, with most of It taken by
exporters nt tho seaboard and tho balanco
by Interior millers In tho Chicago terri
tory. The market centers that reported
ealcs Tuesday on foreign account said
yesterday that bids wero out of lino and
It was Impossible to do any business. For
eigners not only refused to buy freely of
the wheat surplus In -this country, but
they eold some futures at Chicago In
which they had a profit.
Tho fact was clearly demonstrated yes
terday that In order to keep wheat prices
at tho present level It will be neccssury to
liavo a good cash Ctemnnd from day to
day. Some of tho larger speculators who
wero talking most bullish wero on the
selling side In a liberal way In order to
secure available profits. It Is becoming
qulto popular to take profits when they
are at hand, Instead of taking a chance
of allowing them to disappear.
Thore was considerable news of a
bearish character. An exporter In look
ing over tho situation last night said
that If Europe wanted the wheat In this
country bad enough they would como
after Manitoba No. 1 northern for April
May shipment, as It figures about 2c
lower than No. 2 hard winter, elf. con
tinental ports, and that It Js intrinsically
worth more money.
The situation In wheat at the moment
presents tho appearance of a boot-strap
game. It looks as It the American spec
ulator Is holding up tho market for a
purpose possibly In order to sell tome
wheat and secure a profit If long, cr to
put out a short lino and cover at a lower
price. It has been the case for many
years past for tho "Yankee" spcpulator
to hold the price of wheat at a level
where exporters refused to absorb freely,
as they were able to go to a competing
country nnd make their purchases at
prices below thoso asked by United
States holders.
The average trader In wheat Is waiting
for the deterioration reports, which no
believes will be of interest sooner or
later, and ho Is carrying somo wheat
with tho Idea of securing a profit. It
-was reported here late yesterday that
Liverpool bought sovcral cargoes of Aus
tralian and Argentine wheat, and this
being the case. It Is not out of place to
make the claim that the Liverpool men
named the price, although traders have
Wn rA tn 1v1Irva that both those coun
tries "will have little wheat to sell and
that they will probably secure tneir own
nrlre. Cash wheat was unchanged.
Minneapolis reported Chicago as a big
seller of July wheat there, and reported
the cash market as firm but slow, owing
to the larger receipts. That Minneapolis
millers have bought half a million bush
els of cash wheat to arrive there, and
that a great deal of this was bought
at Omaha.
Corn was unable to stand up under tho
news of yesterday and showed losses of
HWfsc. Borne markets In the corn belt
wore reporting heavy acceptances on the
crop and cash sales were again small,
200,000 bushels selling to go to store be
cause of a lack of demand. A lot of
Argentine corn sold at New York at
70 cents, which showed He loss. Shorts
were buyers In tho former market on
free export takings. Cash corn was U
1c lower.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
''estnren of the Trailing- nnd Closing;
Price on Hoard of Trade.
CHICAGO. Feb. 14. Sureeations of emr
damage In northern Txas. wrstnrn Dktn.
homa and parts of Kansas and Nebraska
tended somowhat to dispel heuvlncss to-
any in the wheat market here. As a re
sult, prices closed fairly steady to a
shade off to a like amount up. In corn
the outcome was unchanged to U44e
lower ana ior oats virtually the same as
yesterday. Provisions finished nil thn
way from last night's level to 10312o
uown.
Wheat weakened at the outset nwlnr
to declining prices at Liverpool, notwith
standing mat me roreign setback was
chiefly duo to optimistic field advices
from this sldo of the water, A remark
able decrease In shipments from Argen
tina, however, sorved to check the bears.
Sellers wero made leBs venturesome, too,
by Odessa cables savlnc that reeelntn
there were light and that interior reserves
wero small.
Domestic reports of Iniurv to winter
Wheat west and southwest warn not nt
a radical sort. 'They were emphasized,
however, by almost simultaneous news of
harm Bald to havo been done by severe
tveumcr in nonnwest uussia ana in
Austra-Hungary nnd France. Owing to
mo aDsence, mougn, or any special activ
ity by export houses or on the part of
millers, the best Drlces of the season
wero not maintained.
Bear speculators hammered the corn
market, but made no decided Impression.
Chances of unsettled weather, bad roads
and smaller receipts interfered. Oate were
upheld by continued lightness of primary
receipts.
Free selllnir of lord bv nacker welched
down provisions. Tho market also felt
the effect of a sag In tho price of hogs.

NEW YORK JJTOCK MARKET
Speculative Activity in Wall Street
Diminishes Yesterday.
IMPROVEMENT IN THE MORNING
Snbsntnenlly Drill Itnck Agnln
Day'a Itnslneas Lesa Than Halt
of that of tre Preceding
Day.
NEW YORK. Feb. lP.-Speculatlve ac
tlvlty diminished today and except In
a fow Isolated cases movements were
unlrr portant. Tho market Improved
slowly In Jhe morning, but subsequently
drifted back again. Tho day's business
was about halt of that transacted In
the preceding session.
Tho morning advance was Influenced
by the statement of Commissioner Har
lan of the Interstate Commerce commis
sion that a decision would be made In
tho freight rate case within the next
thrco months. Speculative opinion in
clines strongly to tne Deiier. tnat somo
incrtaso will bo grunted. There was
rood Innulrv for tho standard railroad
shares and alco for tho stocks of steol
companies and affiliated Industries which
are expected to benefit from a more
liberal buying policy on the part of the
carriers if they are pcrmlttod to raise
their rates. Tho extent to which the
speculative position Is bound up In the
freight rate case Is shown by the week's
movement in stocks. Monday's sharp
decline and yesterday's confined fluctua
tions were due almost entirely to Wash
ington reports concerning venous phases
of tho question and today it was again
tho uppermost consideration tn Influen
cing tho market.
Tho afternoon reaction was due more
to the cessation of buying than to pres
sure on tho list. Weakness of various
stocks also held back the general mar
ket. Rock Island preferred made a new
low record nt 5. 3. I. Case preferred
(ell tour points to S3 alter announce
ment of new financing by tho company.
Last week It closed at S3Vi. Chlno and
the beet sugar Issues were under pres
sure. There were few strong stocks
among tho specialties. General Motors
continued to advance, at ono time show
ing a gain of nearly six points. It sold
above 16, as compared with Its low price
last month of 37. American Ico wus
strong and unusually active.
Number of sales and leading quotations
on stocks were as fallows:

CATTLE Receipts were from a buyers'
standpoint disappointingly small this
morning, only sovcnty-fivo cars being re
ported in sight, Btlll the total for tho
week foots up 19,313 head, being tho
laraest ot any similar period since tho
middle of January, but smaller than the
corresponding period a year ago by over
1,000 bond. k , .
It was very apparent this morning that
buyers wanted somo cattlo and thoy were
out in the yards in good season In the
morning, so that tho trade In beof ntoers
opened early and active with the result
that tho fow cattle on sale soon ennngoa
hands. The prices paid were, fully lOo
higher and In somo cases possibly
stronger even than that Tho quality of
the cattle on an average was poor and
thero was nothing very choice to make a
top. A Uttio buncn or. ycarungs soiu up
aa high aa 18.40.
Cows and lienors expenencea tne same
advance as beet steers, selling early and
fully 10a higher.
speculators ana yaru tracers naa a
good many stockers and feeders on hand
that they had carried over from tho first
of the week and they were not overly
anxious for additional supplies, so that
the few fresh stockers and feeders in
sight did not show much change.

CONFIDENCE IN MONEY BILL
Country Shorrn by Facta anil Flsr
urea In 11 r Exceptionally Snnml
nnil Strona, Serrelnrlra
Declare.
WASHINQTON, Feb. 19.-Thc federadl
reserve bank organisation committee,
back In Washington after a five waekV
trip through the country. In a statement
Issued tonight, announced that Us selec
tion of federal reserve cities and dcfln'
Hon of reserve districts would not 00
lntulo until careful consideration had
been given to the Information accumu
lated 011 the' trip. Tho statement said
tho conimltte. Secretaries McAdoo and
Houst'pn, found tho country prosperous
nd learned that bankers nnd business
men aro greatly Interested In tho now
banking system and confident of Its suc
cess. In a supplemental statement Mr. Mc
Adoo asserted he hoped tho new system
would be established In tlmo to take care
ot crop-moving contingencies next year,
but that If It were not the Treasury de
partment would stand ready to place Us
funds again at the disposal of the busi
ness men,
Evidence of llconomto StrensrtU.
Tho committee's statement, In part,
said: "In every section ot the country
the committee found a practically unan
imous conviction among bankers and
business men that the currency bjll will
bring about most beneficial changes 111
thn business ot the country. The com
mittee wns presented everywhere with
overwhelming evidence of tho enormous
economic strcnsUi of tho country and of
tho rapid progress of every section. The
fact that tho nation's banking resources
ns a whola made enormous ndvancca
every twelve or fifteen years, approxi
mately doubling In each such period, was
made evident. Whllo this Is true ot the
country as a whole, tt was shown that
certain sections aro advancing with more
rapid strides than others, and that the
country Is fundamentally exceptionally
sound ami strong economically. The
facts nnd figures submitted to the com
mittee In every pnrt ot the country ahow
a condition ot financial, Industrial, com
mercial and agricultural soundness and
prosperity that leaves no doubts as to the
future.
Impressed by Admission.
"The committee was Impressed by the
frank admission ot bankers throughout
the country that tho present banking sys
tem not only encourages but actually has
created striking artificial conditions ot
banking, with practical unanimity, the
opinion watt expressed that the new
measure will restore normal condtilpns
with great resulting benefits; that the
present system not only furnishes no pro
tection In times ot real stringency, but
also, even In times of groat prosperity,
especially when there are bounteous
crops, makes tt Impossible to meat tho
conditions and that there has been pre
sented the singular contradiction nt
providing bankers thrown Into fear ot
panto by the emergency of wealth. The
bankers were unanimously of the opinion
that the establishment of this reserve
system will no longer make our prosper
ity a peril and that It will relievo them
ot apprehension and distress In those cir
cumstances and give confidence and sta
bility to business generally.
"Already practically all the capital
represented by the . national banks has
como In. A number of state banks have
applied for national charters and many
havo applied for membership In the fed
eral reserve system.
"In every stato In the union which the
committee has visited It has heard ex
pressions from governors, banking com
missioners and others to the effect that
whero thero Is any legal disability
against subscription by state banks, that
disability would bo removed and the fur
ther expression, that stato banks which
wore eligible would 'vory generally seek
to enter the system."
MoAdoo'a Htnleinent.
Here Is Secretary McAdoo'a statement:
"In a few Instances tho question was
asked It the new federal reserve banks
would bo organised In tlmo to tako care
of the crop moving contingency next
fall. It Is hoped that the system may
be established before that time, but If It
should not bo. the resources . ot the
United States treasury wilt be placed
again at the disposal ot and ba used for
the protection ot tho legitimate business
Interests of tho country. The treasury
resources are believed to be adequate
for the purpose, but it they should not
prove to be, then It should be remem
bered that the Aldrlch-Vreeland act has
been extended until June SO, 1916, ami
tho tax upon circulation taken out under
this measure has been reduced to the
point where bankers may resort to It
-with advantage it necessity should
arise. Tho financial situation Is, there
fore,' sound and satisfactory and there
Is every reason -why business should pro
ceed normally and with confidence and
courage."
White. Slaver Sent
to Prison in Prussia
DBUTHBN, Prussia, Feb. 19, A Rus
sian, Lubclskl, was today sentenced to
nine years' Imprisonment for engaging
In tho "whlto slave" traffic Lubclskl

general emigrant business. Lubelskl
detached tho girls from their emigrant
parties after they crossed the frontier.
Ho made his headquarters at Myslowitz,
on tho Polish frontier, where meeting
with Intermediaries from other countries
became so frequent that the authorities
detailed a police official to collect evi
dence against the Ilusalan.
Testimony was submitted showing that
Lubelskl had bribed the official and also
tho Russian frontier police to securo the
crossing ot the frontier by girls without
passes.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal., Feb. 19.
Wlthln a few moment of the arrival of
Lord Pedes and his w(fe, formerly Miss
