CHICAGO. March 2. -There were plenty of
legitimate reasons for an advance in wheat
today, ami the market up to a late hour
did show a great deal of strength. May
etoeed ai an advance of l%c. Shorts In July,
however. »a>t filled up. and that option closed
%C lower than yesterday's final price. Corn
and oats suffeied somewhat from closing out
of long lines, corn closing %0%0 lower, and
oitts 1^!!' 1 c lower. Provisions were dull, and
Showed very little change at the close.
Wheat waa clearly a bull market at the
opening. The strength which marked yes
terday's close made traders more appre
hensive than ever of the short side, and the
flrmncfis caused by small offerings was In
creased by the nature of the news, which, as
a whole was of an encouraging character.
Opening quotations for July were unchanged
to ' 4 c higher than yesterday's close, at 91%®
>I%C. There was a good buying demand right
from the start and for two hours the market
advanced f'owlv but steadily, July getting
up to 91%©»1%c by 11:80 o'clock.
There was an extremely limited trade In
May. but that option exhibited even more
fttrength than July delivery, everything of
fered being taken by the Leiter Interests.
■This support of May, and Leiter buying of
March, exerted no small influence on July
■horta.
Liverpool was firm and showed good ad
vances. Outside markets showed strength,
particularly New York, which market re
ported the best buying for some time. The
Stocks at Odessa, the principal Russian ship
ping port were reported at but 1,013,000. com
pared with 6,000,000 a year ago. Northwest
receipts were very small. Minneapolis and
Duluth re[K.rtlng but 185, against 283 a year
ago. Chicago receipts were 50 cars, 15 of
Contract quality. Minneapolis reported an
other another big sale for shipment to Du
luth. Fresh advites from Argentine said
damaging rains continued. The bears took
come comfort out of the fact that the pre
dicted cold wave following the soft weather
did not materialize, and the small response
Of Liverpool to our yesterday's advance.
The continued strength tlie market dis
played continued to bring in outside shorts
who had some difficulty in covering, and the
best prices of the day were scored, July get
ting up to 92' si.
After noon, however, the market gradually
eased off. Shorts had apparently got pretty
well filled up and realizing on "the advance
became pretty free. The weakness displayed
by corn also had some effect. July finally
got down to 81c, where it closed. May, how
ever, continued strong. That option opened
unchanged, at $L 06%. It sold at $1.05% then
Slowly advanced to J1.07. reaching the latter
point about midday. Realizing which fol
lowed caused a reaction to $1.08%, but during
the last few minutes of the session May was
Caught up In another Leiter swirl and again
carried up to $1.07. The closing price was at
SLO6%, the highest e'.osing price this season.
Leiter was credited with some July selling.
Selling out of long corn was the feature
of that market, and kept the market rather
easy in spite of the strength in wheat. The
market was strong at the opening, but free
selling, mostly by buyers of yesterday, caused
a rapid weakening of prices. May ranged
from 80% c to 80% C, and closed at %@ : }i_c
lower, at 30%®30%c.
Trading In oats was principally of a scalp
ing nature, and not heavy at that. The
market in a general way followed corn, and
prices in consequence averaged lower. Prices
early were stronger with wheat, but the
LIVE STOCK.
UNION STOCKYARDS.
Receipts— l,s94 hogs, 1,140 cattle, 353 calves,

firmness did not last long. May ranged from

at 26%@26%c.
Provisions were dull. Opening prices were
firmer, due to higher prices at the yards
and figures showing very small Increases
ln stocks of lard and ribs. There was some
good commission house buying during the
first hour or so, but after that moderate
selling by packers and a little general real
izing caused a gradual easing off. The mar>
ket closed steady; May pork, 2%0 higher, at
$10.45; May lard unchanged, at $5.17%, and

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.
MINNEAPOLIS. March 2 —The lecal sp cu
lative wheat market opened quite s.rong this
morning chi< fly on Liveipiol cables advis ng
of a good adtanee for wheat in all positions
The gossip of the day was greatly mixed
but on the whole in favor of the holders of
wheat. The course of our local market was
strong from the start up to noon. There
were seasons of tiuietness but at no time
was there a sign of weakness.
May wheat opened at 97/.c against 97%®
97% c yesterday, advanced shar.ly to 9Se, lest

vanced to 97c, lost l-16c, advanced to 97% cby
10:30, lost %c and firmed up to 97% cby 11:45
a. m.
The cash wheat market was strong with
a gocd demand for No.l ai:d No. 2 northern
No. 1 northern sold readily at 3 cen s over
the May with choice going at a cent or

sold at figures generally satisfactory to hold

35 cars.
During the noon hour the market was
rather quiet, sagging a littl? for lack of
trade. Clcsing cables weie rather discourag
ing, but the fact that some new business for
export wes being done in New York helped
to keep the market steady. A great deal is
being made of the purchas" here for ship
ment to Duluth. srme 900(00 bu having been
taken during the past few days. It was
said that this was for export, bnt we l'arn
today that It ls for grinding in D_luth, stocks

GAINS ALL WIPED OUT
NET RESULT OP DAY'S TRADING IN
NEW YORK
The Decline on a DiinlnlHhed Volume
ot Bmlueii and Not Accompanied
by Any Development to Account
for the Movement— No Reflection
of the Day'a Nevra.
NEW YORK, March 2.— The net result of
today's trading ln stocks ls the practical
wiping out of yesterday's gain ln prices. This
was done on a diminished volume of busi
ness. The decline was not accompanied by
any development of general conditions which
could account for it, and there was no re
flection ln any news of the day on the move
ment, unless the slightly Increased selling
movement ln the flnal hour. This was start
ed on rumors attaching Importance to the
sending of two war ships to Cuban waters
with provisions for the reconcentradoes.
Today's decline for the most part was
technical, and marked the reaction from the
recovery of last week's sharp fall. A short
rally Invariably follows a heavy decline, and
the professional traders were vigilantly alert
for its ending this morning. Dealings ln
the first hour were large, and the movement
of prices very narrow. The commission
house buying Invited by yesterday's strong
market was sufficient to absorb realizing
offers for a time, but the market became over
weighted and commenced to sag.
A period of Intense dullness Intervened,
and then the bears opened an attack on a
number of the specialties, notably Sugar,
Manhattan, People's Gas and Metropolitan.
The grangers were also under pressure, and
New York Central was heavily sold. Most
of the day's business was done in these
stocks, and all suffered marked net losses,
ranging from Ho 3 points. The movement
in Metropolitan was very erratic, the open
ing transactions carrying to 156, the high
point of the day. London was both buyer
and seller here, but the sales predominated,
although the tone of American securities on
foreign exchanges was rather better, and
Spanish bonds were also higher.
The money market continued firm today,
without any very active pressure to borrow.
There was a good supply, however, of com
mercial paper, and the rates were fraction
ally higher. There was a payment of $1,000,
---000 to the government today on account of
the Kansas Pacific sale, so that the sub
treasurv had a balance at the clearing house
of $878,738. This had Its effect on the money
market, and took the place of regular week
ly withdrawal of an installment of govern
ment deposits on account of the Union Pa
cific sale, which has been discontinued for
the present. Sterling exchange hardened an
additional fraction in response to the firmer
tone of the London market.
The tendency of the bond market was to
wards weakness, in sympathy with stocks.
Sales, $2,675,000. United States new 4s were
% per cent higher bid.
Total sales of stocks today were 98.600

New York stock gossip, reported by H.
Holbert & Son, bankers and brokers, 341 Rob
ert street. National German-American Bank
building. St. Paul:
London wsb a seller of stocks today. It
looks to ua as though the market would sell
off some further. The general feeling seems
to be that the stocks have had a pretty good
rally, and that there is a disposition to take
profits. The market ls now ln shape to be
affected by rumors.
We get lt from good people to keep your
eye on Omaha and New York Central. Van
derbilt brokers are buying Omaha all the
time, also good buyerß of New York Centra).
Barring trouble we look for both to sell very
much higher.
The Standard Oil interests have been buy
ing St. Paul again today, and there bas been
good buying ln Burlington and Rock Island.
A good many office traders have sold stocks,
believing the rally over, while others have
bought, believing the Cuban outlook la bet
tar.
FOREIGN FINANCIAL.
NEW YORK. March 2,-Evenlng Post's
London financial cablegram: The stock mar
kets here were of a better tone today hut
painfully inactive. Americans and Grand
Trunks opened better, but relapsed la'er. New
York absorbed the stock unwillingly and
business here was almost at a standstill.
Prices closed better. Signs are evident again
ln both American and Kaffirs that the recent
weakness at the settlement has not been
cleared off. Reports that the Bank of Eng
land Is to pay the dividends here on cer:ain
big American railroads are believed to be
correct. Gold was ln lees demand at 77a

MISCELLANEOUS.
NBW YORK DRY GOODS.
NEW YORK, March 2.— 'Midweek conddtlons
In dry goods are practically unchanged. There
Is, perhaps, a trifle less strength in the mar
ket for cotton goods, and print cloths are re
ported to have sold at lower prices. But, on
the other hand, there Is a fairly well sus
tained demand reported by local Jobbers. In
woolen goods there is, on the whole, a feeling
that stocks have been fairly well taken.
Bleached goods are still quiet in the market,
and coarse commons show no change of mo
ment. Print cloths are said to be slightly
weaker.
SEED MARKETS.

may be called steady. There was not enough
trading done to show any trace of values.
