CORN MARKET WELL SUPPORTED Cloxlnsr Prices We're Quarter of n Cent llljrhrr Than Dor Before and the Demand Contin ues Modrrnlelr OMAHA, Feb. JL 191S. There was a display of heaviness In wheat during the morning yesterday, chiefly because all the western reports told of cloudy, threatening weather condi tions ami a few sections reportyd light rain and snow. The market did not weaken as much as the bears expected, the May price stopping at 02c and July at 91'c. From that point there was a strong recovery In the early month to Mo near the dose and July was up to 91Hc. The market closed a fraction under the top. Several things combined to bring about the good recovery In wheat futures the last hour. Messages told of predictions of a change to much colder weather over the western states. This was expected to put an end to the precip itation, which was very light. Minneap olis reported choice wheat rather scarce In the current receipts and possibly 'a lit tle Improvement In the flour sales. Northwest and southwesi markets re sponded promptly to the upturn in Chi cago prices. Strong leaders were credited with helping the advance along, but the selling of May wheat at 93c was signi ficant. The cash demand in Chicago was lim ited, the sales reported up to the close being only 30,000 bushels. The Northwest ern Miller, in itn weekly report, con firms an unusually slow flour situation, resulting In cutting of prices by millers. A leading house In the cash trade nt Chicago claimed the purchase of hard wheat at Omaha for shipment there at rfea under the May option. The fact le malns that the market recovers quickly from all depressions and some traders advise to keep on the buying side of the market as the season of crop scares ap proaches. Cash wheat, U44o higher. During the morning yesterday it looked Kb a Dear marxet in corn, with the May price at Bio and tho July at E3o. As before, this market met good support Ht theae figures, and with tho help of the strong turn In wheat prices were firmed to BVlo for May and 53io for July. Clos ing prices were about 'ic over Wednes day. The shipping demand continues 'e.rLmoJerate' sa'os only amounting to 140.000 bushels In Chicago. Kansas City claimed somo reselling of corn there by Texan houses. Brokers reported weight of May corn on tho market all day, with some fairly good support in the July from the leading bull Interest. Oath corn unchanged tn : hifh?- There was very little notion In oata miures yesterday, and the close was a small fraction better than Wednesday. Receipts were 201 cars In Chicago, arid the oash business there was reported at 210,000 bushels. Brokers reported somo scattered outside buying orders In the market. Cash oats unchanged to c higher. Liverpool close: Wheat, Hd to Ud higher; corn, Vid higher. Primary wheat receipts were 794,000 bushels and shlpmonts 456.000 bushels, against receipts of 879.000 bushels and shipments of 773,000 bushels last year. Primary corn receipts were 1,413,000 bushels and shipments 700.000 bushels, against receipts of 2,000,000 bushels and shipments of 912,000 bushels last year.

NEW YOIUv. Feb. 21.-Thero were a few weak spots In tho stock market, but the general movement whs narrow and trading dull. Speculative sentiment re mained bearish, but tho bears were more wary and finding- that the- market offered effootlve resistance made little effort. Thrro was no Inducement for operating on tho long side, nnd tho result was that trading fell to 'normal proportions at times and price movements were hardly worth recording. ' , Southern Pnclflo broke below par for the first time since 190S. I-argo amounts of the stock change! hands around par, but eventually the price yielded and sold as low as 99. Publication of the annual report, showing smaller earnings, fur nished reason for selling. Liquidation of Inactive stocks continued although tho effect on the general list wjwi negligible. Weakness of low-priced jallroad stocks wns a feature of Uio dealings. Krlo sold at 2SVi. the bottom prlco since 1911. South ern. Wabash. Wheeling & Lake- Brio nnd Lako Erie & Western also wore heavy. Tho petroleum stocks declined abruptly. The week's liquidation of stocks was re flected In the way .of a loan contraction In tho bank statement which appeared today. Loans were scaled down over 29 000,000, and although there was nn actual oash loss of $4,300,000 tho surplus reservo was Increased by $4,226,000. Tho downward tendency In tho bond market continued.
