STOCKS, BONDS
* AND MONEY.
NEW. YORK, Feb. 25.—Today's stock
market was again largely devoted to ob
scure specialties, beth in railroad and
industrial list. Most of these showed ad
vances and the entire lack of explana
tion of tine movements pointed to manip
ulation by speculative pools. Some of
those which, have advanoed heretofore
were undergoing a process of profit-tak
ingl and the relapses thus caused 1 wers
sometimes exceedingly sharp.
Thus ar. advance of 2% in St. Joseph
& Grand Island was abruptly wiped out
by two or three sales at the last, which
carried the stock a fraction below last
night, and the first preferred, after ris
ing 114,. relapsed 3%. A similar abrupt dip
was made last night by Chicago, In- ;
dianapolis & Louisville, and that stock
moved up this morning 3%, but lost most
of it. The minor stocks which w&re
strong today included the Duluth, South
Shore & Atlantic stocks, the Ann Arbor
stocks, Port Worth & Denver City Stactnp
ed, the Chicago Terminal stocks, Chicago
Great Western, Kansas City Southern
preferred, the American Linseed stocks,
Glucose Rubber Goods, American Grass
Twine, Twin City.Rapid Transit, West
inghouse Electric common and first pre
ferred' and General Electric. Gains in
this group ran from 1 to 5 points. There
were losses of from 1 to 2 points on profit
taking in 'a number of similar stocks, and
National Salt down 7 pointsi from its last
sale. There was a t desultory speculation
here and there among the high-priced in
dustrials, and in one or two groups as a
whole, but the movements were of little
significance, and the tone of the market
was at all times mixed and irregular.
Amalgamated Copper and Sugar were
inclined to heaviness, the first on reports
that the purchase of a mine reported
yesterday had been given undue signifi
cance and. that later on the shading of
prices on refined sugar. Amalgamated
rose suddenly over last night at the last.
Brooklyn Transit was notably strong.
The short interest seemed to be intimi
dated by the large borrowing demand for
the stock, which has been supposed to be
for voting purposes at the coming meet
ing. The iron and steel industrials were
in good demand on the trade conditions,
but an abrupt reaction in Tennessee Coal

night affected the others in the r°uP-
The mosit notable movement of the
day was in Lackawanna. which was hft
ed 8 points as a result of the very strong
showing in the annual report. Other
coalers respond-ed. moderately. In the
Readings the speculative pool was buying
the second preferred while selling the
common. The basis of the speculation in
these stocks is the supposition that the
second preferred is to be converted one
half into the common and one-half into
1 the first preferred, which would hx the
! value of the second preferred midway be
tween those of the common,and first pre
ferred. The strength of the specialties

dealings in the stocks of the great rail

opinion on the prospect of any great
changes in future conditions.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 25.—Liquidation
continued in wheat this morning. After
yesterday's close at 72%@72%c, a good
part of til-ie weak holdings yet remaining
went overboard on the curb on sales of
May down to 72% c. This made it look
as if the market had been pretty well
cleaned up of this weak long stuff, and
with Liverpool stubborn against our de
cline and coming only %@%d lower, the
expectation this morning was for recov
ery and a higher opening here. A good
many buying orders were in hand, and
the Chicago gossip gave . the sentiment
there as favorable, and said the buying
side, at the moment, was the more popu
lar one. But the liquidation had not yet
■spent its full force, and at the start
there was enough on sale to offset thu
new buying and force May to a. new low
point at 72% c. '
This low point marked the end of the
heavy pressure. The news turned more
favorable, and a little more confidence
was shown. Receipts at primary point.?
were not so heavy and local receipts
were about the same as last year A
.full response to our decline would have
meant l@l%d lower in . - Liverpool, but
that market closed only 9£#4d lower,
and was %d higher to %d lr rer on corn
Bradstreet s figured a decrease of 2,041 000
bu.in the world's visible. Of this 1,640,000
i^n^i sh. ow" east of the Rockies, and 1
400,000 bu in the quantity in Europe and
afloat. Buying began, and by noon the i
market had worked back to 73c for May
Primary receipts were 562,000 bu, com
pared with 616,000 last year, and ship
ments 25(,{KM) bu, compared with 267 000
bu. Minneapolis received 145 cars, against
141 last year, and Duluth had 256, against
BiSSSv 921 dooo°b u r Cleara™* were-heavy,
Chicago reported increased demand for
corn from New England, and New York
had 32 loads for export. Minneapolis May
sold to .73%@73*fic. and closed at 73%e
July- closed at 74%@74%c. Chicago closed
Ma" at ifi'fa<(Vtf>%c.
ri/'-VJ? 6 ulose today sentiment shows a
decided change from the extreme weak
ness of the past few days The market
is now freer of weak holders than for
some time and in better shape for a buy
ing turn. Even those who believe that
the present price of wheat is high are
hesitant about selling • short, especially
so as the snow covering is fast disap
pearing over winter wheat and there is
j the possibility af damage reports coming
as the wheat shows up. while a cold wave
tending southward would greatly increas
apprehension. At the close today there

CHICAGO 'CHANGE.
CHICAGO, Feb. 25.—Reaction after yes- •
terday's heavy depression in grains set in
today, and covering of short account, in
fluenced by an improved foreign : business,
braced the tone of the markets. May
wheat closed with a gain of Vc, May
corn %c and May oats %c. Provisions
closed a shade to 2%c lower.
Following yesterday's heavy liquidation,
cables were unresponsive and the early
'business - was marked by covering. New
liquidation for a time held prices down.
Then came in reports of a better foreign
demand. Clearances were large. Brad
street's.reportedl a visible supply decrease
of 2,041,000 bu, and late - reports had it
that the melting snow showed damages
to the winter crop not known before. Pit
traders bought cautiously, the liquidation
practically ceased and iiberal covering
set in again. . Trade » was heavy while
prices were firm on tlie early upturn, »ut
quieted down later. " Some professional
bulls secured low-priced stuff with a view
to later profits. Cash business also im
,proved. May opened a shade to %c high
er at 75% c to 76% c. slid off to 75% c, .and
reacted to 76% c. The close was firm; May
V 2 c up at 76%@76 Local receipts wtre
large at 73 cars, two of contract grade.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 401 cars,
making a total for the three" points of
474 cars, against 439 last week and 305
a year ago. ., Primary receipts were 562,
--000. bu, against , 415,000 bu last year. Sea
board clearances in wheat and flour
equaled 946,000 bu', of which 475,000 bu were
flour. The seaboard reported twenty-five
loads taken for export.
Corn showed a tendency to dso better
after yesterday's break. There was still
some liquidation from the country, but
not of the urgent sort that marked yes
terday's business. Buying was started
early on the steady cables, both for shorts
and for investment. There was a big
business done early and the country oa.me
in and played both ways. The increased
receipts had a depressing effect, but the
market was sufficiently strong to over
come that influence. It is thought that
the liquidation is about over. Foreigners
bought -to some extent and helped with
the advance. May, whicfh opened un
changed to %c higher at 59%@39%c, sagged
for a time to 59% c, then sold to 60V&@
60%0, and closed firm and %c up at l
60c. Receipts were 331 cars. i
Oats had a strong market, and while
trade was dull there fras a decidedly ncr- !
vous feeling. The advance was largely
sympathetic, -though business was im
proved over that of last week. Some sell-
Ing was done on the increased receipts
'but corn influenced covering and better
nee May sold as low as 41^, and
closed firm at- its top figure, %c" higher
at 42% c, Receipts were 317 cars
_ Provisions ruled dull and slightly easier.
The lower prices for hogs at the yards'
induced some early selling, but the grain !
strength helped later. May pork closed
2*c lower at $15.52%. May lard a shade ;
