Corn moved up %c and oats gained %®%c. Provisions made new high levels, but. heavy realizing broke the market and closing pries were Irregular, 2%c higher to 2%c low r. The first hour or so in wheat, a marked undertone of strength was shown, and prices moved upward. Opening sales of May, which closed yesterday al 95%@96c, were made at ■< :, .,c The strength apparently came en tirely from Liverpool. Private advices from the English market told of rapidly decreasing supplies. Soon after the opening May dropped to 96%®96%c, (.11 realizing, tk< n a slow ad vance started, which carried the market up to 96%@96%c, when another reaction oc curred. May declining thij* time to 96% C. Sellers w( re not without encouragement. Northwest receipts were heavy, 415 cars against 403 last week, and 25'". a yrar ago Chicago receipts showed some falling off, 59 cars today, 8 of which were of contract qual ity. Crop reports were very favorable, Kansas messages stating the prospects there the best ever known, and the outlook in Michigan was also reported good. News from Argentine caused some hesitancy for a time. Broomhail estimated the Argentine shipping surplus at 32,000, 000 bu. and said he looked for shipments from thai country to Europe this month of about 8,000.000 bu, A report that between 80.1. --000 and 900,000 bbls of flour had accumulated nt New York was influential in the second de cline. About 11 o'clock the market again became strong 'r« id decidedly active. Everything was oversbacowed by the cash news. Reports that Joseph Leiter had contrr-cted to ship 500,000 bu of wheat by the Lehigh Valley road to the Eastern seaboard, which were circulated yesterday, were confirmed today, and it was MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN. MINNEAPOLIS. Feb. 10.— Wheat opened stronger tbis morning on encouraging cables from Liverpool. That is to say, that after our break of yesterday that Liverpool should show any strength at all. This had a stif fening effect, but from the course of the market after the first rally it would appear that more starch was needed to kcup it up to the standard of strength. Paris cable showed firmness but not activity. Ordinary commercial gossip was on the whole rather bearish in tone, some of it not worthy of credence and other of it perhaps correct. May wheat opened at 93% c, being Vie better than yesterday, gained %c, lost %c, firmed up to 93%@_3%c. lost l-16c. sold at 93% c straight, declined to 93% c and firmed up to $3%c by noon. July wheat opened at 92"4 c, against 92 l-16e. gained >/._<•, remained steady for an hour and sold at 92'/ 2 c before noon. The cash wheat market was active and strong for all grades except No. 1 northern. This grade was in much the same condition as yesterday and for like reasons. Low grades sold at fully a cent to 2c better than yesterday and tlie demand sharp at that. Re ceipts here were 336 cars and 27 cars shipped out. The market during the noon hour may be called :=tf adv. Trading was very light up to 1 o'clock, when there appeared to be a slight awakening. Tho close was strong.

There were also rumors of ether large lots to be moved out, half of it by rail, and though not entirely confirmed were received with credence by traders. The Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour were put at 534,000 bu. By noon there was a big trade in the pit. and prices under a general buying demand had advanced to 97@97%c. Many of the early sellers were forced to buy back their lines. The price was well maintained at the top for some time, but offerings became freer late in the session, and a reaction to 96% c took place, the market closing steady at that price. Considerable Interest was shown in corn, and the market in the main was very strong. Heavy realizing by holders caused some reac tion, but the market was strong at the close. May ranged from 29%®29**4c to 29% c and closed %c higher at 29%(i329%c. Oats were active and firm. The feature was the reported tale of 845,003 bu for export.

STOCK SCAEE ALL OVER RESIGNATION OF THE SPANISH MINISTER IGNORED From the Opening to the Close the Market Was Firm, With No Set hack of a Serious Nature Great est Gains in the Specialties Bonds Strong. NEW YORK, Feb. 10.— The most interesting feature of today's stock market was the man- ! ncr in which It regarded the Spanish minis ter's resignation. In view of the sensitive- j ness in the recent past to everything con nected with the Cuban question, its disregard of an Incident involving so acute a phase of feeling, is noteworthy. The view taken of the subject in Wall street was that the possibility j of danger in it had been avoided by the firm and prompt manner ln which the incident had been treated by the government. Prices advanced from the opening of the market. Higher quotations from London gave an impetus to the opening rise. There was no general setback from the opening to the close , of the market. The only thing approaching it j was an occasional pause in the advance, but j this was simply due to a falling off in the j buying and not to heavy offerings. Upon a re- j newal cf activity and upward movement be- i gan again. Advances were not uniform and were net simultaneous. Considering the volume of the trading for the day the rise in some stocks was notably small. In those which show large gains the advances were made at different , times during the day. flrst one and then an other stock or group of stocks being taken up and pushed. The local tractions scored the largest advances and showed the heaviest dealings of any group in the list. Metropolitan ' Street Railway duplicated its movement of ! yesterday with a rise of 4*"4 points on rumors of special benefits in the shape of privileges in a further issue of stock. Manhattan was at one time over three points up, but was fever ish at the advance. Third Avenue rose 2%, and Brooklyn Transit 2 points. The strength of the market showed a tendency to run to the specialties and To- . bacco, General Electric, Western Union and Susquehanna & Western pfd were conspicu- j ous. Pullman added five more points to its re markable advance. The mainstay cf the market was the re newed buying on a large scale of New York Central and the strength of Northwest, Omaha and the other Vanderbilt stocks. The grangers as a group were strong, Burlington leading. Noteworthy advances were also scored by Louisville. Grand Island and Hocking Valley stocks. Adams Express was bid up 2 points oyer yesterday's bid price without eliciting any offers. American Express sold 2% points over the last sale, and was bid up 2 points higher. There was a further easing in money rates today, and sterling exchange continued firm. The recent slight reaction in speculative bonds terminated today and the general move ment was again strongly upward on a very large business. It was reported that $1,030,000 worth of a 6ingle Issue have been taken for : London account. Total sales, $4,890,000. U. S. I new 4s reg. were % lower bid.
