Pressure on Stock Market
Relaxes; Undertone Better
NEW YORK, Feb. 19.—Pressure on the stock market relaxed today
and the downward movement was checked. The undertone was distinctly
better and at the close a number of leading issues had established net
gains of 1 to 2 points. Early in the day after a strong opening bear
traders made a drive at the market and succeeded in sending Bon l e
to new low points for the movement. The list offered better resistance
than recently, however, and prices soon moved up again. Tnereaiter me
market was steady. „ . , „_ . mV .^^ e j
The change to some extent was a reflection of the improvement abroad,
the principal foreign market exhibiting ab< .er tone The better feel
ing apparently was due to relaxation of strain over the political situa
tion. News from Mexico held hope of peace and fears of the entangle
ment of European powers in the Balkan war lessened. The chief source
"of strength, however, lay in the size of the short interest. Covering of
short contracts was responsible for a brisk demand for some of the specu
lative leaders. Steel was bought persistently and there was a steady
demand also for Reading and Union Pacific. The strength of these stocks
influenced the remainders of the list. There was some further selling
of minor stocks, but the declines were not severe and had little Influence
on the market as a whole. The decline In Goodrich continued during tne
parly part of the day, pulling it down to 40, but later it more than re
covered its loss. .
Bonds were heavy. Total sales par value. $2,^00.000.
Panama 2's registered declined \'% on call.
NEW YORK, Feb. IJ>.—E. F. Uutton & Co.'s wire says:
• Stocks wrre supplied on the opening advance this morning and tn«
market became reactionary. The street was still nervous, and the belief
prevailed that the Mexican situation was not at all reassuring. Indus
trial issues- were particularly weak, although Steel seemed to meet sup
port around 60%. Steel was most carefully watched of all stocks, as it
was felt that unless that issue could hold up another sharp decline would
occur Rubber stocks continued their downward movement. Goodrich
selling at 40, off 2 points. United States Rubber fell under 61. Selling
of the stocks was,- partly due to recent failure of New York Commercial
company and the disturbance in rubber market abroad. Around noon
the market had sustained its rally. Steel recovered from 60% to 62 Tjnlou
from US to 157. The reported improvement of Mr. Morgan and the bet
ter feeling abroad reflected in the London market was held responsible
for the rally. In the late afternoon a sharp drive was made against
Chesapeake and Ohio and Union Pacific, which weakened the general list.
Toward the close the market rallied under leadership of fcteel, in which
there is believed to be a large short interest."

terday others followed and the market
thus became established for the time
being: at 14% cents.
There was some interest displayed
on the part of the consumers at the
low level, which led to a belief that
copper prices had at last been lowered
to a point at which a revival of con
sumptive buying- might be expected.
But interest was not sufficiently pro
nounced to give the market a firm
tone and producers were compelled to
name the low figures to induce buying.

Wilson's Views on the Markets.
(From 3. C. Wilson & Co.'s private wire.)
NEW YORK, Feb. 10. —The clearing up of the
Mexican situation, together with reassuring
cables from abroad that the Balkan differences
were nearlng a peaceful settlement gaTe more
ton* to the stock market today. Several drives
were made at prices, but the resistance was so
pronounced that many enorts covered and a sub
stantial rally resulted. It seems to us that with
the firemen's trouble and Mexican and Balkan
conditions practically righted, that better tilings
may be reasonably expected.
Cotton —Prices broke under the strain of heavy
selling. The reported strike of 15.000 garment
workers In Philadelphia was one of the things
which precipitated the selling, but apart from
that the market was tired. In familiar parlance,
it has been manipulated to a standstill by the
bull interests. Much of the floating short in
terest had been eliminated and the expected big
covering on stop orders above 12c was not forth
coming. We adhere to the belief that the best
cents? is to sell on all upturns.
BOSTON, Feb. 19.—The low level reached by
the coppers yesterday attracted considerable buy
ing today and the was steady all
through the session. In some of the specialties
the buying was aggressive and resulted in one to
four point rallies Tb* coppers are selling at
bargain prices aud should be picked up on all re
actione.
CHICAGO. Keb. 10. —Wheat —The market
started easy, but on the firm cable and small
rwipts it quickly recovered itself and advatfced
with only a moderate trade. The promise of
moisture in the winter wheat country was
against the prlcp all day. and near the close re
ports of rain and snow at several polnta in
Kansas and Nebraska caused enough local selling
to send the market back to last night's prices
or Icm.
! SAN FRANCISCO STOCK AND BOND EXCHANGE
Associated Oil broke from $43 to $42.87% in an active market yesterday on
the ban b rancisco Stock and Bond exchange, the total sales of the stock being

Giant Powder sold at $125 for 40 shares yesterday, indicating that the secu
rity has advanced as a result of the company's intention of disbursing a large
dividend by means of a special stock issue.

Mining Stocks
Another spectacular rise in Midway of the
Tonopsh camp, accompanied by a heavy buying
movement w*a the big feature of the Bueh
street market for Nevada mining stocks yester
day, more than 50.000 shares of the stock being
bought at advancing prices on advices from the
mine confirming previous reports of a good
strike OQ the 535 foot level. The itock started
the day in a spectacular fashion, scoring a
seven point rise at the opening of the regular
call session, and after a pr«»*t taking drive
had carried the price down a few points It
turned upward again and advanced steadily to
Sic at which level the buying movement was
halted. At the close board room traders were
bidding 50c for round blocks, but there was no
stock for sale at that figure.
Thn excellent showing made by Midway en
livened the other stocks of the Tonopah group,
and several of them made email gains. Among
the firm features were the Merger. Mlzpah Ex
tension. Montana, West End and Jim Butler.
West End was the only Issue that failed to
maintain all of its early advance, but it closed
higher on the day. Belmont was still for sale
at $7.50, more than 2,000 shares being disposed
of at that price. The fact that the big lender
of the group failed to respond to the firmness
In Midway operated against an advance In the
low priced issues of the camp.
Nevada Hills was another firm feature of the
trade in the southern stocks, with buyer* show-
Ing a willingness to support it at $1.15 on the
regular call, but there was very little stock for
sale at that time. Holders were rewarded for
their patience later on, for the price advanced
to $1.20 at the morning Informal session. Man
hattan Big Four, which ought to be. a firm
stock, judging from the reports of operations
at the mine and the rapid progress being made
in the erection of the new mill, acted rather
strangely. It started firm with an advance
to 90c and Immediately sold off several point*.
Goldfleld consolidated rose to $2.30 In the
early dealings, but the lesser lights of the. group
failed to follow It up, that part of the list
being dull at all times.
The north end Comstocks had a tame and
heavy market. Ophir had a sharp decline, while
the shares of the neighboring mines barely man
aged to close steady at unchanged prices. A
feature of the Comstock trade was the sale of
1,000 shares of Mexican at 75c, a weaker price.

CHICAGO BOARD OP TRADE
Kutnre Grain and VrortmUtnu
CHICAGO Feb. IP.—Showers and light snew
as far east as the Missouri river this aftrrnoo»
eaoed off the price of wheat. At the close tb*
market ranged from Me net decline to a shad*
advance. Latest trading left corn *4<a*4c down,
oate nnder last night and prorislona le«a
expenslTe t>y 2%@7%c.
Wheat showed its best strength at midday.
Support at that time and earlier In th* session
was due largely to the temporary failure of pre
dicted moisture for the winter crop belt. A lit
tle export business in Baltimore and from golf
cities bad a bracing effect on the boll side.
Plenty of selling orders came out from the wheat
pit when Kansas City sent word that a driwillng
ralp had begun. Smallness of receipts In the
northwest were forgotten, and so, too. were other
bullish factors of more doubtful significance.
Except In the case of the May option, flnal
transactions gare no erldence of any power to
rally. Primary receipts were 819,000 bunhels,
against 575.000 bushels a year ago. Export clear
ances of wheat and flour equaled 708.000 bushels.
Springlike weather led to considerable specula
tive pressure on corn. The market, howerer.
wavered a good deal owing to the stubbornness
with which the bulls upheld wheat.
Oats followed the other grains downward, not
withstanding fairly influential buying on weak
spots.
Hog receipts furnished a surprise, being for
the first time recently above the total of the cor
responding day a year ago. Holders of provision*
unloaded freely, but short* and new Investors
brought about « steadier feeling In the end.
CHICAGO, Feb. 19.— E. F. Hutton & Co.'c
wire says: "Wheat—An extremely quiet and
tame market today. There have been Indica
tions of considerable strength at times, but
the market has met yelling orders in plenty at
an advance of about tt to %r from yesterday*
close. There wax considerable bearish senti
ment much of the time, and there was an
early dip to %c below yesterday's closing.
Weather map showed no precipitation en in
Nebraska and Kansas overnight, except a light
tsnowfall in northern Nebraska, bat there were
later wires Showing that the Weather was
cloudy and threatening and that more or less
snow or rain was falling as far east as the
Missouri river. Official exports from the United
i Statee during January were 13,325,000 busheln
against less than 6,000,000 bnshels last year.
