. ' New Yorkr Feb. "15. In several
directions, interesting movements
occurred on today's markets. - The
rise in foreign exchange continued,
sterling in particular going 2.sc
above yesterday's closing, to a level
of $3.91, as near . , to., the highest
rate of. .10 reached in last April's
spectacular advance as it was to the
rate of two weeks ago. At New
York the money market 'did not
change, but at London it developed
actual stringency, the short term dis
count rate advancing ' to (" and 7
per cent; a '-higher charge than was
exacted at the height of the past sea
son's requisitions.
; Grain and cotton markets advanced
emphatically, wheat reaching the
highest price since the middle of Jan
uary and 'marking a recovery of 22
cents per bushel since the fourth of
February, when the present year's
IdW price was touched.,

the Reading's coal properties are to bs

By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Trlbune-Omulm Be Leased Wars.
Chicago, Feb. 15. It was a case
of green fjugs and a covering move
ment in grains today.
Action of wheat and all grain mar
kets was a complete surprise to a
majority of the traders. Up to nearly
noon trading was light and prices
declined. Local traders worked on
the short side. Theiiw. selling was
overdone as was proved by the ad
vance of 9 cents in May wheat from
the low point early, with the close
for all grains around the top. Net
gain were 4 3-4c to 6 l-2c on wheat,
2 3-8c to 2 l-2c on corn, 1 l-2c on
oats, 3c to 4 l-2c on rye, while barley
was unchanged. Receipts were 18
cars.
There was nothing in the action
of the wheat market or the news
to inspire confidence among a ma
jority of operators during the early
morning. Support was poor and
prices declined 2c from Monday's
close. Green btur stories from Texas,
Oklahoma and. Kansas came -when
prices were around the lowest and
started a buying movement, led by
a few local professionals who have
been active on that side of late.
Heavy March Uuylng.
No material increase in the run of
outside buying orders was noticeable,
v.hlch makes the professionals slow to
enthuse on advances based on such re
ports, as they regard It too early. But
in 1907 it was the nam way and they
were not believed until after prices had
advanced sharply. '
March wheat was bought heavily by
commission houses on orders front the
northwest,, but the largnst trading was in
May, which made the -best gains. Noth
ing was heard of export business, do
mestic or Canadian wheat. Germany
continues to buy Australian wheat, taking
6.600,000 bushels at $1.82. which was re
garded as a revival of last week's trade.
Other countries b re buying in Argentina
where offerings wire larger.
The corn markot has given a surpris
ing acconnt of itself. . Prices moved up
3o and clostd to c from the
top which was 7?.e. In three weeks,
risible stocks have Increased 14.800.000
bushels and prices have advanced 9ce.
Covering of previous commitments with
urine increase in the outside buying, com
bined with strength in wheat, have been
the main factor. Advanced prices In
creased country offerings slightly late in
trie dav and widened the discount on No.
S" grades at the last. Receipts were 260
cars, with cash 'price1 up 2 at the last
and export sales 175.000 bushels and do-,
mestice, .4J.000. bushels.-;,
Oats had the advanco in wheat and
corn, together, with buying by shorts as
the main help.' Prices advanced 2o
from the early low. figures and closed
at the top. Commission houses w-ho
were the best sellers when prices were
5c lower, were among the leading buy
ers. Cash prices advanced lc, with sales
72,000 bushels and arrivals 34 cars.
Slocks were beinp .drawn out of store
to fill shipping and local orders.
Buying of rye, l.y houses with New
oi oj g dn R3.ii.td ju,s suojjoauuoj Jt.tojt.
and cloot-d theui at th top.

Receipts of wheat at Minneapolis were
874 cars, compared with 225 cars last week

74 cars, oumpared with 64 cars last week
and two cars last year. Winnipeg receipts
were 831 cars against 678 cars last week,
and 236 cars a year ago.
Minneapolis wired Thomson & McKin
non: "Millers are buying futures hero
and at Winnipeg. Flour trade reported as
fair."
Belgium bought Manchurlan wheat to
day. This tends to emphasize the belief
that North America is out of the world
market for wheat for the preaent.
James E. Bennett and company had the
following from Guthrie. Okl.: "Out of 15
reports received this morning, have six re
ports of green bugs, two from Garfield
county and one each from Canadian, King
Fisher, Caddo and Wewoka. Weather cool
and south wind; Ideal weather for bugs.
Texas reporting damage to volunteer and
sown oals."
Harris, WInthrop & Co., say: "It seems
to us that this particular market move
ment has reached tlfo sentimental stage.
Traders profess to be looking many weeks
in the future. The basis, in fact, for the
present upturn was the lack of cash pres-.
sure, no witness appears tnat casn pres
sure will again be a factor. It may be
that the month of May does hold in store
a very bullish situation, but in the moan
time It seems to us a very much broader
publio Interest will be necessary if the
market Is not to reflect the more Immedi
ate actualities."
E. F. Chapin had a cable from Liver
pool saying that the British government
will decontrol bacon on March 17.
New York -wired F. S. Lewis & Com
pany: "Exporters say yesterday's and to
day's advances In wheat puts us 30 cents
over our competitors. Cable from Ham
burg today says Germany bought 100,000
tons of Australian wheat, . six months'
credit at equal to 21 cents under. Ameri
can." E. K. Leland & Company's Omaha of
fice wires: "Following message just re
ceived here from Fort Worth, Tex.:
'Green bugs are all over central and north
Texas and the lower Panhandle. Damage
Is beginning to show. Temperature here
today is 79.' '". ,
Stein, Alstrin & Company, have the fol
lowing from George Le Counte, who is a
Dallas, Tex.: "Lots of green bugs here,
but don't consider the situation alarming
at present. ' Plant not easily sapped this
spring, as there is lots of moisture and
plant is strong and vigorous. However,
situation needs careful watching as bugs
have appeared a month earlier than
usual." i

New York, Feb. 16 Reports of a bat
ter spot demand in Liverpool, combined
with the firmness of sterling exchange and
mom favorable reports from the stock
market, led to considerable covering in the
New York ootton market here during to
day's trading. After opening steady at an
advance of 6 to 15 points, active months
sold 20 to 38 points above last night's
closing quotations. This carried March
up to 14.04c and May to 14.60c.
The market showed continued firmness
at 34 to 35 points net higher on further
Wall street and local buying. Tho latter
was encouraged by reports that the bureau
of markets had made a correction In the
figures on the world's available supply,
reducing the total by about 1,500,000 bales,
owing to ah error in calculating the
amount ot East Indian. Otherwise nn
fresh news feature developed, and much
of the business consisted of switches from.
