Boston Wool Market.
BOSTON. Feb. 10.— The wool market re
main* in about the condition previously ¦ not
ed, with prices holding up well. On the whole
the market is fairly active, though the volume
of sales is not up to the figure* of a few weeks
ago. There are still enough manufacturers in
the market, however, to ultimately absorb all
the wool available. There Is apparently a feel
ing In the trade that the top has been reached
and while no lower prices are expected, at the
same time any ¦ further advance is considered
improbable. Fine Territory wools have been
selling freely, In fact, being about the most
Rctive of anything on : the list. Fine staple
wools are- unchanged at'56@58c, with fine me
diums at B4«i5Gc and mediums at 47@iSc.

NEW TORK. Feb. 10.— The spirited strength
and activity with which the stock market open
ed to-day was not maintained and the tone of
the market became gradually more reaction
ary and at least easy, with general net de
clines running to a point or more In a few of
the leading active etocks. The most.prom
inent of these was Wabash preferred, in which
to much of yesterday's strength and activ
ity centered. This fact made the. speculative
sentiment susceptible to the fact, which be
came very obvious this morning that there was
very large celling going on of Wabash pre
ferred under cover of the new strength which
It was sought to develop elsewhere. The sus
picion got abroad that the apparent active
demand for these stocks and the show of
strength which thlsf gave to them was dut
l-ather to skillful manipulation by the specu
lative pools having them in hand than to any
sudden realization of their value at present
price on the part of a widespread public de
mand. The whole movement of the day was
strictly technical and was little influenced by
any cf the day's news. The size of the In
dividual orders in Rock Island, for which the
accepted unit teemed to be 1O0O shares, gave
an artificial appearance to the movement In
(that Hoik, bo tnat it had little impression on
'sentiment when It was moved upward In the
face of the general reaction which took hold
of the market during the second hour. The
support of Missouri Pacific had no better suc
cess lir restoring the tone of the market. The
Atchisong were accorded their turn In the ad
vance and among the specialties Amalgamated.
People's Gas. Brooklyn Transit and American
Smelting were conspic\»oue. Sterling exchange
continued to advance and I^ondon to sell stocks
here but these factors were no more prom-
Ir.ent than during yesterday's stock market,
("all money continued easy and an advance in
sterling at Paris sufficiently offset the rise
here to keep gold exports beyond profitable
limits. The bill introduced yesterday by the
chairman- of the Finance Committee of the
Unltt-d States Senate for liberalizing the pro
visions f6r deposits with national banks was
considered an important Influence in the open
ing strength of the market. The approach of
the Thursday holiday may have had Its In
fluence upon the realizing 'movement of the
day
The bond market continued Irregular. Total
talcs, par value. $3,530,000.
United States m-w 4s registered and the 2s

Deciduous and Citrus Fruits.
Trading in Apples continued active, especially
In the common and choice grades, peddlers be
ing the. heaviest buyers. The demand for fancy
stock was rather limited, but as supplies were
light prices were well sustained. The car of
fancy Spitzenbergs and Newtown Pippins that
came in from Oregon was on sale, bui most of
it had been sold to arrive.
Oranges and other Citrus fruits were In
ample supply and continued very weak. The
market has not yet recovered from the effects
of the long drawn-out cold spell, which bad
such a depressing effect on the sale of the
fruits. A few days of warm sunny weather
would change the conditions at present exist
ing. Three cars of Oranges, including one oT
fancyTledlands stock, will be auctioned to-day
by the old company. ,
Ripe Xanana* were in abundant supply and
sold well at the previously quoted prices.

Wheat and Other Grains.
WHEAT FREIGHTS— There is nothing do
ing for Europe, chiefly on account of the pro- ;
hlbltlve price of Wheat, end 10s is now quoted j
for this account, this being the lowest rate j
ever known In this port. Rates for Australia 1
sre 103 Cd for Sydney and 12s Cd for Mel
bourne. The chartered wheat fleet in port
has a registered tonnage of 20.000, against
83,875 tons on the same date la«t year; dis
engaged, 67,000 tons, against 27,000; on th»
way to this port. 204,276 tons, against 1*3,900. I
WHEAT— Liverpool futures were lower. !
Bradstreet's gave the status, of the world's

decrease of 400, 0C0 bushels; Europe and afloat,
an increase of 1,800.000; net Increase, 1.4Utt,000. 1
There was no change at Chicago. • A Paris ]
cable said: "Wheat crop repdrts continue un- i
favorable and our Wheat stocks are decreasing j
rapidly." The cable produced little or no
effect at Chicago, having probably been dis- ]
counted. ! The short traders covered on the
California advance. Minneapolis reported a .
good cath demand. ;
All over California the demand for cash [
Wheat for expert and local use continues un- i
abated and buyers are beginning to realize
that there is hanjly enough Wheat left to
satisfy the demand. Quotations are away above
the European parity, in spite of the ruinously ;
low freights. A lot of choice club sold in
the country on Monday at fl 01. equivalent to
$1 64V4 at Port Costa, and choice milling will '¦

CHICAGO. Feb. 10. — There' were no sensa
tional fentures In the trade in wheat, but
prices were nervous and fluctuated easily. Com
mission houses were good buyers throughout
the day and there' was some liquidation by lo
cal longs. The opening was steady, with May<
unchanged at 70Vi®79%c. and on bullish re
ports from Paris claiming damage to th«
crops there was a spurt to 79^c, but the gain
was quickly lost on selling, led by the prin
cipal longs. Later local traders turned active
buyers on the strong San Francisco market
and prices asain rallied, but late in the day
commission houpeg sold freely and the market
eased off, the closing being steady, with May
unchanged at 7«!.i(679%c.
Corn was the most active market on the
floor and the volume of busings was large*
while the sentiment was bullish, influence*!
largely by the comparatively small receipts'
and the poor grading. The close was firm,
with May a shade higher at 45%c.
Oaks were firm in spite of the liberal com
mission house selling. The closing wag steady,
with May a shade higher at :57^@37%c.
Provision^ were dull but firm, the hog situ
ation tending to steady the market. vThe close
¦was steady with May pork 2 Vic lower, lard
unchanged and ribs a shade lower.
The leading futures rangtd as follows:
LOCAL MARKETS.
•Butter, Cheese and Eggs.
There Is no further decline in Butter, but
receipts are larger and sellers are roaming the
town to work off the goods. A few days of
warm, sunny weather, like yesterday, will pro
duce a marked change In the condition of the
market, as another cold stormy spell would in
a different way. There Is no desire to hold
among sellers, especially as outside points con
tinue to wire this market for bids on their
Offerlnss.
Cheese Is In light supply and steady.
Eggs continue weak, and 24c is the top of the
market, except In a small and occasional way,
when 20c Is realized. W e »tern Eggs are com
ing In Treely and are being offered at steadily
declining prices, while receipts of domestic are
slowly growing larger.
Receipts were 44.DCO lbs Butter, 816 cases
