although there has been no advance in
prices. No demand for the common and

STOCKS, BONDS
. * AND MONEY.
; NEW YORK, Feb. 20.— '■ announce
ment by "; the; attorney general ■ of '% the
United States that he believed.the North
ern Securities! company infringed the an- :
. ti-trust law, and that he would file | a bill
•in equity in the supreme court, in accord
ance with instructions from the" president, 1
to test - the question, overshadowed ';- all
other considerations |in the stock market
today. The acute interest i manifested in
1 this company by all speculators, - and, in
deed, all holders of securities, was:.vivid
ly demonstrated by the effect in the stock
- market and was the more - notable l since
Great Northern : preferred -is the \ only
stock remaining' listed on the exchange
which is directly included tin the Se
curities company, - Yet the whole market
fell away sharply under heavy liquida
tion, with only a few unimportant ex
ceptions. The stocks of the i transconti
nental companies were naturally most af
fected, as the formation of the Northern
Securities company: represented an - effort
to harmonize conflicting interests in that -:
field. Great Northern preferred lost 6*.
North-Western 7%, Rock Island 5%, St. '
Paul 3%, Union Pacific 3* and Southern
Pacific 2%. '. Elsewhere: in the . list losses ™
generally ran from 1 to 3 points, ; and con
siderably over, that in many exceptional
cases. On the curb Northern Securities
: when issued dropped . over 3 points.
The direct concern of such a variously
assorted lot of securities In the welfare
of the Northern Securities company is
not very obvious, but the average specu
lator in stocks, especially the professional
trader, is . deeply -- imbued with the con
victionN that -all his woes are S the out
growth of the conflict for* Northern Pa- |
cific control last. year, and that it is only
necessary for the readjustment jto be
made of the situation precipitated at that
time for the stock market to resume all ■
the buoyancy and speculative furore that
■ was interrupted by- the May panic.. For
some time there has been a deep-rooted
conviction : among . the ?; speculators that
the supreme court would throw' out of
court Minnesota's suit against> the legal
ity of the Northern Securities company.
There " has been an assumption also.which,
was carefully fostered gin the interest
of a revival of speculation, that the pub
lic opposition to financial combinations
was more apparent than real, and that a,
demonstration of the public ' utility: of
these combinations would ~ secure ' them
against interference - even where techni
cally open to • construction ■- of illegality. -
This morning's •■ announcement j from
Washington was therefore a rude shock
to ail of these optimistic sentiments that
has been carefully nurtured in the finan
cial district. The selling movement swell
ed the dimensions of the trading during
the first hour to a. volume equal to a full
day's business during : the recent past.
Prices declined sharply,- and. the market
looked semi-demoralized. Heavy I selling
for European account added-to the 1 bur
den of the market, and at the same time
created a sharp demand for - exchange,
which increased the threat of gold ex
ports. Wherever prices had .been-moved
up recently on the presumption that plans,
were in prospect for combinations of ex
isting properties: along the. lines of the
Northern Securities company, the effect
was especially marked, as in some of the
colliers and the Gould Southwestern. The'
early excitement was succeeded by com
parative quiet. Liquidation proceeded,
but in -"a- more orderly : manner. Buying
for support occasionally rallied the mar
ket but it was discontinued at recoveries,
and the sagging tendency revived. This
course ■•: was continued up to ; the close,
which was active and easy, but not at the
lowest for any important stocks.
; There was enormous selling of some ox
the speculative bonds, especially the Wa
bash debenture Bs, Baltimore & Ohio
convertibles. Union Pacific convertibles ,
and Consolidated-Tobacco 4s, : which fell
from 1 to -2 points at j one -time.. In the
general bond list there was no pressure
of liquidation, -although. slight declines
were the -rule.. Total sales, par value,
United States 5s advanced f, the re
funding 2s %. the 3s * .and the . old 4s
% per cent on the last call. " ■.

time the market has been a firm and ac
tive one. Yesterday there were some
very good heavy hogs on sale which sold
at $6.20, although not fancy. Today the
best hogs Oft sale weTe only fair in qual
ity and brought but $G.IO. The extreme
range in prices was $5.60 to $6.10; bulk,
$5.80@5.00. Pigs and underweights sold
at $4.75@5.40.
SHEEP—Receipts have been rather
light this week and our market has held
up well In spite of the lower prices pre
vailing at Eastern points. There is an
unusually good demand for all kinds of
killing stuff, and shippers are sure to
realize satisfactory prices. Good quality
stock end feeding sheep and lambs wail
also find a ready sale, but common stuff
is slow.

showing :.. something ~ of r;lncreased;; confi
dence.:■■■.■: The Price Current says of : win
ter : wheat that this is the fourth week
of continued snow covering, , and that
there is no material change in condition,
which is fair to good. ;^ A moderate in
crease in the interior movement of grain
is commented upon. Sj All the other news
concerning winter. wheat was bearish. - ~

time it was thought bull markets would
prevail. But the nervousness in the New
York stock market influences selling in
grains and depressed prices. Receipts at
primary points were liberal and export
clearances were the lightest for some
time. May sold off to 77i£c and then
turned dull. There was little short in
terest at the opening, but when sellers
of today found lower prices brought out
buyers they began to cover. New York
later in the session reported fifty-one
leads taken for export. This had an im
proving effect and May forsooik the bear
side and sold up to 78% c. The close was
steady, unchanged at 78y a @78^4c. .Local
receipts were 14 cars, 1 of contract grade.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 270 cars,
making a total for the three points of 284,
against 654 for two days last week and
396 this day a year ago. Primary re.
ceipts were 442^000 bushels, against 430,000
last year. Seaboard clearances in wheat
and flour equaled 109,000 bu.
Corn acted in sympathy with wheat,
and almost duplicated its fluctuations. Ca
bles should have brought a bullish im
pulse, Liverpool showing good strength.
May did try to ihold up and opened %c
lower to unchanged at 61% cto 61% c, but
when wheat broke corn followed after
and declined to 60% c. Outsiders sold to
some extent, but the general condition
of the corn trade helped a recovery. Some
ten days ago bears began predicting a
decidedly freer movement of this grain
in the West. It was argued that renters
and taxpayers wowld want to get rid of
their stuff before March 1 and it was
maintained that the West, finding corn
likely to get soft, would sell freely. For
a few days Kansas City got somewhat
better car receipts, but there has been no
increase here to note and bulls take the
tight situation as indicative of a firm
market for some time to come. FoT this
argument, taken together with the revival
in wheat and some export business in
corn and short covering, worked May up
to a firm dose, %@*4c higher at 61%@61^c.
Receipts were only 77 cars.
Oats were dull and moved with corn—
a shade lower to start, weak later, and
firm towards the last. Short selling
was carried on early and covering
brought the strength toward the close.
May closed %c up at 42% c. Receipts
were 81 cars.
Although the run of hogs both here and
at western points was small, and the hog
market good, provisions were weak all
day. The reason assigned for the de
cline was that longs were selling out
May pork sold at low as $15.62% and closl
ed 10c down at J15.67y 2 ; May lard closed
a shade lower at $9.40 and May rib.s a
shade lower at $8.4fc&@8.45.
The estimated receipts for tomorrow
are: Wheat. 15 cars; corn, 110 cars; oats
105 cars, and 30,000 head of hogs.
