CHICAGO. Feb. 11.— Everything on the floor
was strong today, wheat being the leader,
both in streng.b and activity. Repons of ad
dition;.l shipping engagements for Leiter
wheat and an exceptionally large export busi
ness were the principal factors in a buying
movement in wheat, which had advanced
that market about a cent at the close. Corn
closed %c higher, and oats %@%c higher.
Provisions hesitated for a time, but finally
joined ihe procession, and closed 2%(&7%e
higher.
There was a big demand for wheat right
from the scart. May closed yesterday at 90% c,
and opened today at 97%'Jr97%c. There was
considerable selling, but the demand was to
great that the price advanced steadily, not
stopping un;il 98c had been reached. There
were two big factors in the advance, the
Leiter shipments abroad and the Liverpool
strength. The former was given the most
attention. It was stated on the floor and not
denied by the Leiter interests that arrange
ments are bing made for the shipment of
4,000,000 bu of their wheat from here to the
seaboard. Contracts have already beeii let
for l',ii(!\i.oC<i bu of this, it is said, and the
moving away of so much cash wheat had a
marked effect on shorts.
Liverpool was very strong, earliest cables
showing %d advance, and later ad', ices
ehowtd lhat market l%d up from yesterday.
Private cables said the strength was on con
sumption demand, and light supplies. Liv
erpool lias received but 272,000 bu ln six days,
not much over one-third of the weekly con
sumptive demand. Argentine shipments for
the week wen- 512,000 bu, much less than
fenerally expected. Nor. hwest receipts were
83 ears, against 432 last week. Chicago re
ceived 47 ears.
After advancing to 98c the market eased
off somewhat. There was a let-up in the ur
gent demand with the usual selling by the
people who have been playing for a break,
and May reacted to 97% c. Then for an hour
the price moved between 97">4c and 98c, most
of the time being at about 97-lie. After that
MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.
MINNEAPOLIS. Feb. 11.— Wheat opened
higher end strong tliis morning on higher
Liverpool cables and continued strong and
active throughout the morning session. Tips
were also given out early that the Leiter
Interests would put May wheat up to $1 to
day. This caused' shorts to rush for cover,
and for an hour the bidding was active. They
were cautious enough, however, not to ap
pear too anxious, and, as a consequence, 'con
siderable short wheat was covered on a mod
erate rise in values before 11 a. m. From
11 up to noon the market was qu'.et, but
strong, with little wheat olTered for sale.
May wheat opened at 94%e against 93*"4e
yesterday; gained 1-I6e; declined to 94% c;
gainid 1-lOc; sold at 94% c: advanced sharply
to 94%5i94%c; declined slowly to 94% c; gained
%c. and by neon held at .4%c. July wheat
opened at 93c against 92% c yesterday; gained
%c; lost %c; firmed up to 93V._c; lost %c, and
gained %c by noon.
Th( demand for cash wheat was very good
for all grades. No. 1 northern sold mostly
at lc to l%c over the May price. Some ex
tra No. 1 sold at 4c over. Receipts here were
341 cars: shipments, 63 cars.
The market was quite strong during the
noon hour on private cables. There was a
little weakness before the close through even
ing up of trades. February wheat closed
at 94% c, May at 94% c and July at 93% c.

it. Co.. St. Paul, members of the New York
etock exchange and Chicago b:ard of trade.
The Medern Miller says: The South reports
not much change in flour prices, with a good
demand for standards. Corn in demand at
some advance in price. Trade quiet through
out the Southwest. Pacific coast light in b th
wheat and flour. With the di.appearance of
snow, the winter wheat seclion shows the
growing whea: but slightly d'sturbed, and
this only in some parts of Illinois and Indi
ana, and not enough to create apprehension.
West of the Mississippi river the previous
favorable conditions continue. Western Kan
sas advices even additionally improved sinca
the last snowfall.
Late cables from both the United Kingdom
and continent brought buying orders in
wheat.
Closing cables: Flour— February, 25 higher;
May and August, 25 higher. Wheat—Febru
ary, 20 higher; May and August, 15 higher.
Antwerp— Red winter, 12% higher: Wa'.la

NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, Feb. 11.— Flour— Receipts, 19,
--770 bbls; exports, 18,545 bbls; quiet, but firm
ly held, particularly on low grade winters,
the market again became active and very
strong.
Late cablegrams brought liberal buying
orders to the seaboard, and the announcement
of the export business gave a touch of genu
ine excitement to the market, sending shorts
to cover in a hurry, and the price was sent
up to 98% c, lhe top figures of the day. Then
the market quieted some. There was a ten
dency to even up over the holiday, which
caused prices to recede somewhat. May bring
ing 97%<g57%c at the close.
There was a greatly increased speculative
trade in corn, and the market was very
strong, and the price went above 30c, after
a hard flght. May ranged from 30% cto
2934 c, and closed %c higher, at 30% c. Though
there was not a great trade in oats, the mar
ket was strong and prices got to the highest
point for the crop. May ranged from 26c to
2_%c, and closed %@%c higher, at 20%(g)26c.
There was a strong market for provisions,
with trade as a whole unimportant. The
strength of grain markets and moderate
stocks were influences. At the close May
pork was 7%c higher, at $10.70; May lard,
2%c higher, at $5.10, and May ribs, 2%c
higher, at $5.17%@5.20.

CURRENCY COIN C£RT,FICAIVS
Novel SiißneKlliiii for a Compromise
on lhe Coinage Ratio ot Gold
and Silver.
CHICAGO, Feb. 11.— A novel sugges
tion, as to the possibility of obtaining
a rational basis of compromise between
the advocates of the gold standard and
their opponents, is being advanced by
W. S. Harbert. of this city.
The plan is for a circulating medium, I
consisting of coin certificates, payable
half in gold and half in silver — a $2 cer- |
tiflcate, for example, to be redeemed
by $1 in gold coin and $1 in silver coin.
If the relative value of one metal
should diminish, the value of the oth
er, according to Mr. Harbert, would
relatively increase, and the value of
the certificates payable in both metals
jointly would be substantially unaf
fected, the heighth of the fulcrum of
the scales not being disturbed by the
raising of one 'krm and the lowering
of the other. '"
WONDER^IL JiIMP IN OIL.
Capital Stock 3f the Standard Trust
o j
Increase*) f25.420,000.
CHICAGO, Feb. |ll.— Special to the Chroni
cle from New Yqrk: '$he capital stock of
the Standard Oil trust increased Wednesdey
night $25,420,000. This 18 the biggest jump ln
the history of a stock, Which has always ad
vanced or declined bf. huge strides. The
"curbstone" brokers wno deal in the stock
were even more surprised than the men who
employ them at. the .remarkable advance
from $420 per shaVe Wednesday afternoon to
$446 per share on the first transaction this
morning. J .'
The rise was generally iattributed to the fact
that any corporation which pays quarterly
dividends of 10 per cent' and continues regu
larly. to pay at the rate of 40 per cent per
annum is looked upon by speculators as well
worth $446. Buyers feel safe in Investing at
this enormous price, feeling confident that
such high dividends can only be maintained
by a corporation which actually has the oil
production and markets throughout the coun
try by the throat and entirely at ita mercy.

IRREPRESSIBLE CHANDLER.
Predicts "Defeat for Ills Party Re
eatiMe Its Leaders Uo Not Agree
With Htm.
Special to The St. Paul Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.— When Sen
ator Chandler found himself the only
Republican in either house east of the
Mississippi who voted for the Teller
resolution some question arose as to
whether he would not think his bi
metallic agitation had been carried far
enough and that he had henceforth bet
ter "lie low," as the other New Eng
land bimctallists are now doing. Mr.
Chandl.r has answered this question
today in an interview, saying:
"Wi'h the Republican party abandoning
all effort to secure interna ional birnc al
lism, with its di_ting_i_ h<d leiders ridicul
ing the Idea, and wich Secretary Ga.jo gT
lng out of his way to declare the inviolabil
ity of the gold standard, we ned rxpe*t no
vic'o y i c t fall on tbe !ira rial i :t ue ■. lon .
The election will be fatal to us and will
pave the way to a Democratic president in
1900."
