CATTLE--There has been an excellent
demand for c.l kinds of killing cattle at ail
times this week. Prices 0:1 steer stuff,
especially the better gir-des, have been
strong, while ail kinds of 00w stuff have
sold strong to a shade higher. A part at
the decline on canners, which came the
latter part of last week, has been re
gained. Veals steady and active. There
has been considerable more activity in the
etocker and feeder trade than last week.
Receipts have beer, rather light and it
has been necessary to import cattle from
other points to fill orders. Prices are
really no higlier than the latter p*rt of
last week, but have ruled strong and
firm. Buyers have been more liberal In

STOCKS, BONDS
* AND MONEY.
NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—The action of
tlie stock marKet this morning demon
strated pretty conclusively that specula
tive sentiment had overcome the shock
caused by yesterday's unexpected an
nouncement of the contemplated proceed
ings against the Northern Securities com
pany. Stocks held on margin and by
timid headers had apparently been sold
out yesterday, and the forced liquidation
completed, there was very little need for
supported orders in the market this
morning:. It was generally supposed that
stocks bought yesterday for support had
been unloaded on the rally, as insiders
game.i confidence that no serious break
in prices was pending. At the opening
the market was heavy, but by the second
hour the selling had fallen to such small
proportions that the market was practi
cally stagnant. At the same time there
were points of resistance, and a few
stocks gained additional strength as the
day progressed, and led to a substantial
rally, which placed prices quite generally
above last night's close. The issuance of
the bank seemed to be the turning point.
The cash item was practically unchanged
instead of the expected decrease of over
$1,000,000, and the restriction of the loan
expansion to less than $5,000,000 reassur
ed the uneasy sentiment that credit re
sources were being taken up at too head
long a pace. The call money rate eased
off to 2 per cent under the showing of
the bank statement, and the reduced re
quirements for speculative purposes.
The cessation of forced liquidation and
the development of strength in a number
of stocks drove the shorts to cover. A
report that J. P. Morgan had gone to
Washington to confer with President
Roosevelt, gave traders comfort. The
Colorado & Southwestern stock became
very strong at the last on a volume of
trading unpredecedented for those stocks.
Their gains reached three points or bet
ter. Good dividend prospects was alleged
as the reason for the advance. Chicago,
Indianapolis & Louisville also rose 3Mn
and the preferred 1% on reported dividend
prospects. Amalgamated copper was
erratic, rising at one time over a point,
but closing practically unchanged. Man
hattan also failed to hold its full gain of
V/ - American snuff rose 5 and the pre
ferred 2. North-Western recovered 4%,
of yesterday's loss. United States Rub
ber stocks were strong. Outside of these
the striking gains were in less prominent
stocks. Renewed strength in the ex
change market corroborated the expecta
tion that more gold will be exported next
week.
Bonds were rather dull and irregular.
Total sales, par value, $2,385,000.
The routine news of the week has given
no cause for anxiety, but rather for en
couragement in the activity of the iron
trade, a rather larger movement of grain
and prosperous general trade conditions.
The bond market has been relatively
rrcre active than stocks, and values were
enly slightly affected by the late weak
ness in stocks, outside of some of the
highly speculative issues.
United States refunding 2s advanced %.
the 3s coupon %, 3s registered %, the 5s
y., and the old 4s y 8 per cent over the
closing call of last week.
The announced determination of the
authorities at Washington to take legal
steps against the Northern Securities
co<jany on the ground that it was form
ed in violation of the Sherman anti-trust
law of 1890 upset the stock market on
Thursday, and superseded every other
consideration. Previous to that time'
there had been a dull and spotty market,
with individual stocks advancing sharp
ly and the general undertone firm. This
was due to the disinclination of holders
to sell as much as to lack of marked de
mand for stocks. Mow far the new
turn of affairs in Jlbrthern Securities
may ultimately affect the market is dif
ficult to foresee. Those whose substan
tial interests were most at stake were
large buyers of stocks in the flurry of
Thursday, while the sellers were almost
whoiiy the speculators on margin, Some
of them of important character. It is in
variably the iule, however, that substan
tial interests come to the support of
values of properties in which they are
interested in time of crisis, without any
purpose of obtaining stocks for perma
nent holding. The same thing was seen
a. the time of President McKinley's as
sassination and in last May's panic. The
assumption among speculators in Wall
street, that the establishment of the
status of the Northern Securities com
pany would remove all the repressive in
f.uences upon speculation and restore
conditions to the state that interrupted
by the Northern Pacific quarrel, takes
no account of the fact that values were
inflated by over-speculation last May,
and that the events that that speculation
was intended to discaunt have since
come to pass, or have been demonstrat
ed to be idle rumors and canards. Not
much thought has been given as to ho w
far the actual condition of property val
ues would be affected by the overthrow
of the Northern Securities company. It
is not clear that the actual changes and
divisions of control which effected by the
Northern Pacific contest would be al
tered by dissolving the company.
The flotation of the Northern Securi
ties company might supposably be de
feated, without threatening the renewal
of the transcontinental railroad conflict.
The cause for depression wnleh some dis
cern in the proceeding against the
Northern Securities company lies in the
supposition that it is intended to test
the efficacy of the existing law in the
case and then lend the power of the ad
ministration to amending it, if neces
sary, to make it effective against the
formation ol great financial combina
tions. The programme thus foreshadow
ed would not be regarded with equanim
ity by any large financial interest, and a
reflection of misgiving would be respect
ed in the securities market for an in
definite period.

Good heavy hogs, the best on sale,
brought $6.20. Fancy heavy hogs would
easily have sold at |6.20@6.30. The mar
ket has been a decidedly satisfactory one
all we^k and our prices have averaged 10
cents above any other Western point.
SHEEP—Receipts have been light,'not
enough to meet the demands of the pack
ers. The demand for good quality stuff of
all kinds was never better and prices are,
right down the line, strong *at last week's
close. Common stock and feeding stuff 13
salable but does not move readily.
Very truly,

y MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 21.—A holiday
tone ruled in all tne grain markets today.
Tne prospects of heavy receipts on Mon
day, following the two-day interVui. was
deterrent to activity on tne buying vside
Today's report showed 100 cars or more
than last year for tnis market, and as
weather conditions favor a fairly liberal
movement it is generally expected that
Monday will show ireer offerings of
wheat and coarse grains. Further there
was the expectation that a continuation
of favorable reports from the winter
wheat area might have depressing effect,
ihe seaboard sent a number of items
regarding export possibilities. The 50
loads reported taken yesterday could be
firmed only in part, and one dispatch
said the bulk of the trades for export
lately are found upon investigation to be
Manitoba wheat to be moved out after
the opening of navigation. • In conse
quence of this there was little buying.
A good many in the pit were short in a
small way and to noon they hesitated
whether to cover today and lay low. or
to remain short over the holiday.
IV. ear the close the market broke on
realizing caused In part by the report of
th* Modern Miller. The Miller says- The
™£ P m. - central section of the winter
wheat belt is doing well and generally is
amply protected oy snow. - Moisture is
Plentiful everywhere. Claims of actual
damage are notable for their scarcity"
The weather ■ since 1902 entered has been
highly favorable, materially improving
crup conditions. Large deliveries of wheat
by farmers are noted, owing to better

CHICAGO 'CHANGE.
: CHICAGO, Feb. 21.—Grains had an
other slow, monotonous day. Most oj!
the light trading was evening up in prep
aration for the holiday on "EKange to
morrow, but bearish sentiment, especial
ly in corn, eventually turned the pits
weak, • and May wheat closed %c lower;
May corn, %<&% c lower, and May oats
%c off. Provisions closed unchanged to 5c
higher.
Wheat conditions were*"little changed
Foreign news was slightly bullish and
domestic the reverse. Closing-up deals
started the market a trifle lower, but so
tame was speculation that fluctuations
the first part of the session were hardly
noticeable. There was little interest in
the market, and the pit was almost with
out features. Cables were about steady.
Argentine shipments were much re
duced from last year. Northwestern re
ceipts are larger, and are expected to be
larger for some time, owing to line ele
vators shipping to their terminals. The
prevailing sentiment was to sell for a
moderate break. Eventually the South
western markets begin turning weak, the
corn market was alfected bearishly, and
wheat turned downward. May, which
opened a shade higher to lxAc lower
at~7B*4cto 78c, haggled for a long time,
then declined to ?<%c and closed weak.
%c lower, at 77%@77%c. One of the early
bearish influences was advice that yester
day's, export sales were for Manitoba.
Cash business today was only a trifle
better. Local receipts were 12 cars, 1 of
contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported tOS cars, making a total for the
three points of 517 cars, against 268 last
week. This day last year was a holi
day. Primary receipts were 526,000 bu
Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour
equaled 391,000 bu. Argentine shipments
were (384,000 bu. compared to 476,000 bu last
week and 1,032.000 b:i last year The
seaboard reported 12 loads taken for ex
port.
There was more interest taken today in
corn than in wheat. Bearish news was
in the majority, and sentiment was
nearly • all on the selling side. Corn
fought declines hard, however, in a way
to puzzle the crowds. Cables were a lit
tle 'higher than yesterday, and London
reported a light yield promised for Ar
gentina. Sou en western markets had light
receipts, but persistently sent in bearisn
reports. There were reports of accept
ances . from several, quarters, mostly tat
small lots, but conservative houses re
peatedly denied that the country was of

the first time in a long while. The" bright
weather had added influence. May, which
r ad™lv'nff steadily around 61*4 c, 'declined
I°. ™$ ° a2> d closed weak, %@%c lower,
at 60% c. Receipts were 103 cars.
Oats were dull and uninteresting
Tr*de was exceedingly light, and the de
pression was due largely to lack of sun- '
port. As for some time past, this market
.followed corn like a faithful servant
May closed weak at its lowest figure %*
down, at 43% c. Receipts were 121 cars
Provisions had a good tone in contrast
with the grain weakness. The hog mar
ket was strong, and a fair demand from -
commission houses, together with some
scaling, short covering in pork, held
prices for a small advance. Options fluc
tuated narrowly. May pork closed 5c

at $9.40, and May ribs 2V 2 c up, at $5.45@
