Ings were light, and it took no great
amount of buying to send the market
from ■ 76 I,&c, which it touched ; early, • to

to come out, and as it also developed
that exporters were doing practically
nothing, the market dropped to 75% c.

bullish, ryporters reporting thirty-thr^e
loads taken. A recently bullish operate*
sold liberally, presumably putting out
shortjines, while another leader added
heavily to his already big line of- long
corn. The commission house - dcmaviJ

MINNEAPOLIS.
•MINNEAPOLIS. Feb. 21. — May wheat
Bold at ' 75c this morning in the early
trades. The stronger feeling arose frorii
higher rabies and indications of a slight
change in the winter wheat outlook, with
conditions on the whole not quite so fa
vorable as heretofore. Liverpool closed
%d to %d higher. All continental markets
•were up. Paris was 10 centimes up an!
29 centimes to 25 centimes higher on flour.
Weather - conditions- are moderating
somewhat, with higher temperatures pre
dicted. The Price Current says the out
look for the winter wheat crop is' main
tained, but that much of the area Is now
bare of snow and unprotected. Chicago
had a stronger turn at the start on cov
ering by shorts who got scared at the
show of foreign strength. Cash business
In that market was dull. Northwestern
receipts were 351 cars. May opened at
74Tfc@7f>c and held between 7i7'>75 for a
lime, breaking to 74% c about noon.
. Primary receipts were 428,000 bu, and
fhipments 251.000 bu. Clearances, wheat
and Sour, 256,000 bu. Minneapolis re
ceived 300 cars, and Duluth 42, against a
holiday last year.

NEW YORK. Feb.' 21.—The sharp up
turn in the steel stocks, which gained
force rapidly toward the close of the
market, was the. onlj^fching that redeem
ed the market from- uninteresting dull
ness today. National Steel and Tin Plate
showed the most pronounced strength in
this recovery, the former rising 5% over
last night, and the latter 4'i from the
early low ■ point. The outstanding short
interest, which had grown quite large In
the stocks of the steel companies, had a
large part in this quick rally. The re
port that the so-called Moore properties
of the steel group were standing out for
a large share in the securities of the new
company was' an Influence in the rise,
the supposition of the speculators being
that they were, likely to get what they
claimed. But the other steel stocks were
not much behind in the movement, Fed
eral Steel rallying 3% from the low
point, Steel & Wire 3.£ and Tennessee
Coal, 3. Whether the movements ac
curately forecast any actual develop
ments in the steel merger negotiations
can only be told when the results are
given to the public. Details were closely
guarded up to the time of the closing
of the market, but it,-is the general sup
position that the reorganization plan of
the steel company, so far as it is to
have official announcement, will be given
out before trading is resumed on Mon
day. Actual information on these details
is so vague that the. shorts in the steel
stock were overcome with timidity and
hastened to close their contracts beforo
the coming three holidays. The same in
fluence was at work in other parts of
the list. The early weakness of the
market began to change to recovery
when support was manifest in the steel
stocks. The weakness was quite acute,
at one time the steel stocks leading the
decline as they did the recovery. Many
of the prominent stocks were down be
tween 1 and 2 points, the grangers.
Pacifies and Southwestern and some of
the coalers being conspicuous. Burling
ton, Kansas & Tdxas- preferred, Erie
second preferred and Rock Island were
notably weak. Tlv^se sticks were all
conspicuous in the^rTily a._s■<. A 'vitti
ber of the most important railroad i>t .< '. j
were lifted a point above last night.
There was very large demand for the
Southern railway stocks and for the
Wabash securities. i-There was a vague
expectation of some good news to come
concerning Southern" railway, but noth
ing definite was announced. Rumors to
the effect that a community of interests
with seaboard air line iwas contemplated
met with disclaimers'" The Southern rail
way stocks each advanced 2%. The con
tinued ease of the jwney market was an
influence driving thfc shorts to cover, as
it was expected that there mignt be a
flurry in money incidental to the demand
to carry over until next Monday. The
banks report gains of cash from the in
terior since last Fr.iday, and their ac
count with the subtreasury about bal
ances. But the general conviction is
that further large loans have b«en made
in the furtherance of pending financial
projects, and that the weekly bank-state
ment will show a further contraction of
the surplus^ '
The bond market was dull and irreg
ular, except for an acute demand for
Wabash debentures. Total sales; par
value, $3,410,000.
United States refunding 2s advanced
% and the old 4s and 5s % per cent on
the last call.

Nevertheless the outside public is not

CATTLE—Unusually heavy receipts, to
gether with the continued cold snap,
have had a very detrimental effect on the
rattle market this week. Local receipts
have been mors than double the corre
sponding period last year. Prices are
generally lower. in the batcher divi
sion the good cattle are off 10 to 15
cents, fair and medium grade stuff is 15
to 20 cents lower, while thin and canner
cows are a flat 25- cents under last week.
Veals are weak to 25 cents lower. Butch
er bulls are practically the only thing
selling at anything like steady prices. In
the stock cattle division practically the
same conditions exist. Heavy feeders
#;re slow at prices 10 to 15 cents lowor.
Medium weight feeders are in fairly good
demand, but at prices down 15 cent's.
Stock steers have been selling well tho
past two days, but they only began to
move at prices 15 to 25 cents under last
week. Steer calves are in good demand,
with the best selling about steady, whilo
U»e medium grades are down 10 cents.
Stock heifers, heifer calves and stock

:. New York, Feb. Commercial Adver
tiser's London financial cablegram says;
The stock market here was stagnant to
day and the tone. was undecided on ac
count of the lack of any definite news
from South , Africa and on doubts re
garding ;': the settlement of the Chinese
troubles. The reduction of the bank rate
to 4 per cent has been too fully discount
ed to have any effect now. In the Amer
ican department prices dwindled most of
the time. American shares enjoyed a
slight spurt before .the opening in New
York in the hope that Wall street would
. turn buyers today, but when only selling
ciders j were cabled, the London market
closed sloppy and dull. The bank bought
£203,000 of gold in bars. In spite of the
expected reduction of the bank rate, bills
were 3% per cent today, and..business was
going to the bank at 4, per cent. The
bank still charges 5 per cent for loanc,
although the market rate is 3%@4; per
cent. The bank statement is very strong,
showing that the government has repaid
the bank £2,250.000. The Bank of Bom
bay has raised its rate from S to 9 per
cent.- • - - -■-■
