Corn was unchanged to Yi, cent off, generally unchanged. Oats declined Vi to -,i cent. Rye was off a cent and bar ley unchanged. iieece was reported as having taken 1,250,000 bushels of wheat over the holiday. P. S. Goodman, crop expert for Chicago firm, says that advanced reports on farm re serves of grain are showing larger than anticipated and that returns from leading winter wheat states re flect a holding disposition in many places aud domestic consumption comparatively light. Corn reserves, he says, will be the- largest on rec ord and oats also large.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leaded Wire. hicago. Fb. 23. All grains were offered liberally on the strong spots today, while on the dips com mission house buying appeared in fair volume. Prices, were highest t-arly and lowest at the close, with the finish at net losses of y'zC on wheat, ,4'3c on corn, Yc on oats and unchanged to lAc lower for rye and llic higher, for barley. Re ceipts were 52 cars. The markets were full of, cross current influences which made it uncomfortable for the traders on both sides. Top prices of $1734 for March and $1.634 for May were made on buying of wheat, in duced by the purchase of 1,300,000 bushels by Greece, also that Mexico was in the market for 10,000 barrels of flour. After this buying was sat isfied, prices declined 22j4c with March leading. The finish was.l 2c above the inside, with commis sion houses buying for a time while others were free sellers. Con siderable selling was induced TaTe in the day by the break of 34c. Wheat Carried Over. There was also some selling due to reports that Kansas City, which had 404 cars; of wheat, carried over 175 cars and cash prices were off 2c. Increased country offerings were reported and the Clement, Curtis report showed lamer Interior "re serves than expected. Domestic sales were 25,000 bushels. Country offerings and deliveries were said to he liberal in Illinois and Indiana the past two days at 60 53c. Commission houses had fair buying orders on the breaks and the selling was by local traders, most of whom were bearish, Farm reserves are the largest on record. Oats had a range of 1 cent, with the close around the inside. Cash prices were lc lower at the last. Arrivals were 125 cars. Few outside orders were received and local operators furnished most of the selling. New- Yorkers had small orders to buy rye here and a limited quantity of trades were given on orders from the seaboard. A llttlo spreading between May wheat and July rye was also on. Barley advanced on light offerings. fc ( Pit Notes. Receipts of wheat at Minneapolis were 359 cars, compared, with 258 last week ami 203 cars last year. Duluth received 69 cars, compared with 257 last week ana seven last year. Clements, Curtis & Co., ssys: "Our. ad--vance reports on farm reserves of grain aro showing larger than expected. The returns from the leading winter wheat states reflect a holding disposition in many places and the extent of reserve suggests that the domestic consumption is likely to verify the Howard estimate of less than 600.000,000 bushels. Corn reserves will work out the largest on record, due to the heavy crop, while the oats reserves are showing around the high, points q previous crops. . Ooorge.M. Le Counte wired from Enid, Okl. : "Snow is disappearing. Soil. -is thoroughly soaked. Wheat prospects are very promising and crop will show up fine with growing weather." Mr. Le Counte wired from Anthony, Kan.: "Wheat In fine condition in this territory. Oood standing and deeply rooted. Growth is small but all is .In good condition,"!. New York wired: "It is rumored In re liable circles that the Argentine govern ment intends to decrease -a minimum wheat export price jot $1.63 a bushel, but nothing official has been made known so far. St. TJSuis houses are estimated to have b6ught 250,000 bushels of corn on Mon day night's bids to the country.

The confu sion of movement which prevailed on the Stock Exchange today was a natural result of the sort of specu lative activity, which has made up the market since the middle of last week. On the whole, the incidents of the period have displayed Wall Street at its worst, not because speculators were selling stocks on the basis of unfavorable company reports, but because of the atmos phere of something disreputable in the methods employed. The "Atlantic Gull & West Indies" affair has been in the front of inter est only because more doubt exists in this company's case than in that of others as to who is really respon sible for what has happened to its stock. After last week's 8 point de cline, followed by Monday's 8 point break and 3 point recovery, that stock stock recovered 4 1-2 points topay, almost at the start broke 3 points again and then nearly regained its early price. Peeling of Infalrness. But for the tactics employed In this performance and the numerous other cases of mtajudgment of trade conditions by trading companies last year, no great attention would bo devoted to an enter prise whose status deoends on the but come of "oil propositions" and of ship ping Investments undertaken In the re cent high price period. But the feeling tlint the action- or the stock nas maraem an Instance of gross unfairness to the In vesting public has certainly not been re moved by I he very recent occurrences and probably will not disappear until It is learned more clearly what forces and agencies were at v.-ork causing it. Some other stocks were influenced by the struggle of speculators and manipula tors in this Eo-cullc-d "specialty," but In these the tendoncv was towards recovery from the unsettlement of the past 'week. It was again noteworthy, as on numerous recent ric.ys. that stocks of companies with a fairly teste, 1 standing, were not affected. With such stocks the day's course of prices showed underlying firm ness. A'h passag" in the senate of the Wlnslow bill to expedite the settlement of the government's $370.01)0,000 obliga tions to the railways was little discussed. That entirely prorer leglslstive action had been foreshadowed ever since the senate commltteo acted. Sterling Exchange Txwer. The natural question In that market is. how far such pressure can continue with out reacting on tho hank. Sterling ex change closed IHc lower and most other continental exchanges weakened slightly. This reflected quite possibly the market's cautious attitude In view of the fact that barring postponement the Paris repara tions plan will b opened to formal dis cussion with the German delegates at London next Monday. Silver bullion f l! to another new level for the period since the United States went to war. This action of the market must have at least academic interest Tor the school of eccnomieta who hold thBt the course of silver prices up or down is the surest evidence of the depreciation or apprecia tion of gold. r The mid-week revlows of the steel trp.-ie reflect nothing hut progressive slackening in demind and production.
