Th future wheat situation was strong
lodav and the rise la wheat was followed
by good gain In corn and oat. There was
nractleallv no important news on wheat ex-
mpt the political situation, but tt had little
effect on today's market, th bulge today
btinc more the result of short covering.
Tho Argentine crop situation was the
- governing factor in corn and was regarded
as very bu list.
Oat made comparative gain with wheat
and corn. May oats closing o higher and
July about ie nigner.

THE TONE IS IRREGULAR
'New York. Feb. 0. Business on the Stork
exchange today dwindled to the Insignif
icant total of lfi 3.000 shares, of which
United Slates Steel and a few other favor
ite contributed almost 40 per cent. Next
Monday's holiday ahd tho complicated In
ternational situation accounted largely for
the extreme apathy.
The tone was Irregular throughout, Steal
and a few war specialties, as well as some
of the high-grade rails, evincing a fair de
gree of strength, this being more than neu
tralised, however, by the heavy to weak tone
of specialties and utilities. People's On of
Chicago .supplemented It recent break with
further loas of almost 0 points, Airnra.K
dropped 0 points, Bethlehem Hteel, 4; Saxon
Motors, 13; Barrett A Co., , ana Amer
ican Agriculture Chemlral, 3.
Shipping ware strong regardless, of the
mbarrasament which threatens the general
xport trade In consequence of Jhe em
bargo on outbound freight created by the
German submarine menace. Coppers were
active and generally higher; presumably In
response to the excellent statements or earn
logs for the final quarter of 1014 submitted
by the Utah and Chlno companies.
Declines in some of the equipment al
ready mentioned was offset by flrmnes li
Antral leather, American Locomotive, in
ternational Nickel and Industrial Alcohol,
United State Steel made a net gain of 1

The, bank statement was the most note
worthy In many weeks, actual loans showing
