Chicago, Feb. 15. May wheat to-day advanced to
within a small traction of the dollar mark, and
closed strong with a sain ot 14c over yesterday's fig.
ures. The advance was due more to the anxiety ot
shorts to get out than to the news. The Impression
Increased that wheat Is pretty well tied up by the
Lelter Interests. Everything else on the floor was
active and strong. Corn dosed 4c higher and oats
?4lc higher. Provisions advanoed sharply, but re
acted on realizing, pork closing 20c higher-and lard
and ribs unchanged.
For a few minutes following the opening In' wheat
It looked as if the dollar mark tor May was at last to
be reached. There wls hardly any wheat offered for
sale on the curb, and this condition also prevailed
when the regular market opened. Reports that Letter
tad contracted with the Lehigh road for the moving
of 2.000.001) bushels of bis wheat to the seaboard came
from New York. They were not substantiated, but
the report rapidly spread that May wheat Is almost
completely tied up by Lelter Influences, and when the
market opened there was a rush of anxious shorts to
get under cover. May, which closed yesterday at
98409SUC opened to-day at 9S403SHC Even at this
substantial advance the market was almost bare ot
offerings, and tho price was bid up steadily to 9s4c
A peculiar feature of the advance was the number of
stop-loss orders In short wheat. Wheat began to come
cut after "call" price (9911c) bad been passed, but of
ferings were eagerly accepted, and tie market did
not hesitate much until S9Xc had been reached. This
irlce brought out a lot of wheat from commission
houses, and May dropped back to 334c There It
Lung for a time. The news cf the day did Hot espe
cially favor cither side, though more bullish than
bearish. Northwest receipts were 305 cars, against
452 last week ago and 244 a year ago. Chl-ig0 re
ceipts were 78 cars, of which 6 were ot contract
grade. Liverpool was up 46"id for futures, but cash
jriees shewed nearly all of yesterday's advance lost.
Argentine cables repeated yesterday's reports of poor
threshing returns and lower" exportable estimates.
Liverpool receipts for three days were only SS 000
bushels. Bradstreet's showed 521.000 bushels decrease
In the visible. Export clearances from Atlantic ports
were rather small at 178,000 bushels. A little before
midday the price shot up again under a renewed de
mand from shorts, and this time May got to Wjic
before the reaction came. Letter had sold no wheat
during the day. On the contrary he was credited
with buying a little. This added to the belief that
lie Is In control of the .May market and started buy
ing again. At midday the price bad reacted to 994c
and for the rest of the session the market fluctuated
between that figure and 89ic At the close it-was
bringing 19H0994C
For the Ant two hours business in corn was ex
ceedingly lively and a sharp advance was recorded.
Heavy buying by one of the elevator concerns start
ed the markt strong and general buying following
,thc advance In wheat and provisions prices moved
up rapidly. The advance brought out free offerings
which were fairly well absorbed and for the rest
of the session the msrket ruled steady. May ranged
from 31c to 30,c and closed 4c higher, at 30X
Oats were strong and fairly active. Strength in
other markets, good export demand and absence of
offerings rather alarmed shorts and urgent bidding
advanced prices steadily for a time. Many longs
also Increased their offerings. Later there was some
reaction on realizing, but the market closed steady.
Mav ranged from 274c to 26;c" and closed TiSlc
higher, at 2740274c
There was a broad general trade In provisions.
The opening was rather unsettled, but higher. Heavy
commission bouse bulng and sympathy with the
wheat strength resulted In prices advancing sharply
especially for pork. This was followed by free real
izing a good deal ot selling being credited to pack
ers, the market closing rather easy. May pork. 20c
higher, at J11.15: May lard, unchanged, at 13.20
and May ribs, unchanged, at 35.324.

-rnerc was a want or lite to the market yesterday.
The high prices caused cash bujers to hold back and
go slow. While futures In Chicago were up more
than a cent, the cash market here refused to respond
to the t-peculatlve market. Cables came in higher
and Letter has commenced to move his wheat out
of the country. This, while Influencing speculation,
failed to strengthen flour and millers continue to
bold back and buy cautiously at the present high
prices. Hence the absence of life to the cash mar
ket. As for red. there Is very little really good

readily and quUkly. By sample on track here at

There was a dropping off In the receipts ye&terdsy
and a sharp advance in the speculative market.
Hence a decided bullish feeling. Mixed was especial
ly strong and outsold white, which seemed in a
limited demand. A good order trade was had for
mixed snd tome short buying which easily absorbed
the light arrivals. By sample on track here at Kan

"This Is the jear." sajs P. D. Armour, "for

A message to F. P. Smith from Chicago yesterday
aald: "Wheat to-day, more than at any time In a
month, has disclosed that It is 'held up.' The May
here has kept over the May at New York. Shorts
have covered, but they have had to cover from a new
set of shorts. Lelter has done no selling has even
done some buying. The market has kept over 'calls.'
The buying bas been to stop the losses of shorts."
Among the more Important decreases of wheat re
ported to Bradstreet's this week not given in the offi
cial visible supply statement was the falling off of
275.000 bushels in the stocks at Northwestern Interior
elevators, 211,000 bushels at Chicago private elevators,
95,000 bushels at Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario
storage points, 51.000 bushels at Joltet and 42,000

creases of 117,000 bushels at Portland, Me., and 93,000
bushels at New Orleans.
Yesterday's clearances for export at the four Atlan
tic ports were 16,272 bushels of wheat. 21.000 pack

Total wheat and flour clearances amount to 452,000
bushels, and corn 451,353 bushels.
Beerbohm of February 4 says: The subject of the
real extent of the Argentine surplus Is still, per
haps, a matter ot doubt. The latest estimate, from
what we esteem a reliable source, being for an ex
port ot 28.000,000 bushels to Europe. But whatever
the surplus really proves to be, it Is pretty clear
that It will practically all be shipped In the flrst
half of the year ,and Tery numerous charters of
steamers for February and March loading lndlrato
that shipments may assume some considerable Im
portance earlier than expected. In this connection,
however. It Is well to bear In mind that the gold
premium continues to decline, a sure Indication of a
good crop and that It Is now 155, against 195 last
year and 215 two years ago.

Scotch Girls' Attire.
Since the college doors were opened to
women In Scotland the students have
shown a pardonable patriotism In many
curious ways. The formal college cap has
met new rivals in the Flora Macdonnald
bonnet, the Glengarry, the Tarn O'Shanter.
the Cock-of-the-walk. the Bobble Burns
and the highland chieftain. In wearing ap
parel there has been a revival of Scotch
friezes. Caledonian shawls and historical
plaids and tartans. Some of the college
clubs and societies have adopted as a uni
form style, made famous by the great wom
en of Scotch history'.
The most general of all fashions, how
ever. Is the use of tartans for street and
college costumes. The effect Is described as
most happy, bringing to mind the pict
uresque days of the Highlanders of ro
mance. He (theatrically) "You have refuted me.

Stocks and Bonds.
New York, Feb. 15. To-day's sharp rally in stocks
Is to be attributed to the covering of short contracts
put out in yesterday's flurry. Bui log was said to be
heavy for Washington account, which was a heavy
seller yesterday. Yesterday's losses were more than
recovered In most cases, notwithstanding a smaller
volume of business to-day. There was at least one
period of general reaction during the day, but it was
of short duration, and declines reached small propor
tions. There was also pront-taktng In a few special
stocks, which did not affect the general list to a no
ticeable extent. American securities continued to be
favorites on the London Stock exchange, where prices
of Americans were marked up with a distinctly confl
dent tone before the opening here, and London con
tinued a buyer here even after prices had advanced to
the London parity. Much stress was laid en this as
Indicating a definite change In the attitude of the
British investing public toward American securities.
They were persistent sellers of Americans during all
of last summer, and during the subsequent rise which
has been almost continuous since November. They
are now buying American stocks at prices many
points above where they sold. This buying is regard
ed as the more significant on account of the higher
rates of money in London as compared with New
York, and the heavy balance of exchange still known
to be outstanding In favor of this country. In Paris,
Spanish 4s declined on fears of strained relations be
tween the United States and Spain, and American se
curities declined on some of the Continental ex
changes; but London heeded none of these considera
tions and continued buvlng at advancing prices. For
eign exchange begins to reflect this buying, and de
mand sterling to-day declined V4 and cable transfers
the same amount. Metropolitan Street Railway
showed a continuance of yestcrdav's weakness after
an early period of strength, and dropped 4 points. It
subsequently rallied, but closed the day with a sharp
loss. Other local securities were strong. Minnesota
Iron was conspicuously heavy, and Lake Shore ruled
below last night's price. There were a few losses
shown by conspicuous stocks, but the general level of
prices at the close was very materially higher. The
Minneapolis & St. Louis stocks were strong on re
ports of a circular Issued to stockholders asking an
option on the strik with a view to purchase of con
trol. New Jersey Central was benefited by rumors
that connected it with a trunk line working agree
ment. Kansas & Texas preferred showed a sharp re
covery frcm yesterday's losses. In the active list net
gains of between 1 and 2 points for the day were fre
quent. The strength and activity in bonds incressed as the
day passed. Business In Texas.Faclflc 2ds was largely
individual transactions in heavy blocks at an advance
ot a point.

Dry Goods.
New York, Feb. 13. The week In dry goods shows
fairly active trading with a better showing of buyers
in town than during the early davs of the previous
weeks. The price tone is decidedly better. White
Star. 48 by 52. brown cotton; Majestic B. B., browu;
Marian and North Star bleached cottons, Granlte
vllle and Maglnnls brown sheetings, have all been
advanced 4c per yard. Other advances are expected
to-morrow. The tone of staple cottons Is particularly
strong. The higher price of cottons has been the
chief Incentive to higher price quotations. In the
absence of heavy demand there Is little opportunty
to test the market on the basis of these new quota
tions, but so far as can be learned, the advames
have been well sustained. In coarse colored cottons
there Is a corresponding strengthening, but sellers
do not feel justified in quoting higher prices. Print
cloths unchanged. Prints firm, and In good demand.
