CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-There was a
strong undertone in wheat to-day which
was partly due to some covering by the
big short sellers, good buying by Hutch
inSon and general buying on the pros
pect OF. colder weather. The Liverpool
cables were simply steady. Behrbaum
made large increase in wheat on ocean
passage for the week. Export clear
ances were limited to 81, 0Go bu wheat
from New York and $4,000 bu from Bal
timOre, and about $4,000 bbls of flour
from all ports. There was nothing in
the news to help prices. The weather
helped some. 1t was below zero at Min
neapolis and freezing hard i'm the south
west, where it had been raining. Cali
fornia reported that reseeding was
stopped by general rains. The market
opened weak, but the early buying was
or a character to cause the trade to
hesitate about shorting the market.
Hutchinson was free buyer. w. T.
Baker was buyer. Partridge covered
somewhat very quietly, although he
filled the crowd by selling on the bulge.
Still later Cudahy was credited with
covering. There was considerable long
wheat solo early, and Mccormick s. Co.
led the selling. A late Behrbaum cable
quoted May and June wheat up u pence
on the other side, and the Paris market
firm. Imports for the. United Kingdom
for the week were 1,779.O00 bu., and
with farmers deliveries reached 1904
600 bu., or 1895, 900 blu. less than the
consumptive demand. May sold here
nc to 7714@775sc to 1870 to7715c at
o'clock. June sold 777sc@T3Sc, and
July 759l(076c at the same time. There
was very far strength in wheat late in
the day, and the close was 7sc lower
than the best price of the session,
Receipts for two days were 81
cars winter wheat, Is spring,
sos corn and 314 oats. Withdrawals
from store were 34,714 bu winter wheat,
l2l, $3.50 bu spring, and 11,114 blu corn.
Corn was not much changed in price
until near the close, when few brokers
from the provision pit went over and
bought considerable July corn, advanc-
ing prices 7a@Ic. There was a good
demand for cash corn to load-old No. Q
! stock-and it was thought that some
vessel room was taken. Receipts here
were under the estimate, and Liverpool
sent firm cables on spot and futures.
The export clearances were enormous,
reaching over 900. 900 blu for one day at
Atlantic ports and New Orleans. Oats
were dull and unchanged for futures,
with February higher. The provision
trade spent another quiet day. The
price of May pork holds close around
$40. There was a little heaviness early,
when May pork touched $685., June
1886 and July s1O.O2l5. The recovery
was to $40 for May and to SOLO for
July. Ribs and lard early showed slight
declines. May ribs sold at s4.75 and
May lard at S.. 80. There was slight
recovery later.
The leading futures ranged az follows.

NOW THEY'RE TALKING.
Attorneys Warm Up in the Land
Grant Fight.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Feb. 1S.-The taking
of testimony in the legal fight over the
Duluth 81 Winnipeg railroad land grant
was continued to-day, the field of action
being moved to the law chambers over
the First National bank. John B. Fish
and George G. Stone testified in behalf
of the interve nor in the case and for the
prosecution, and the interven0r rested.
The mtervenor's paper book embodies
all special laws authorizing land grants
to different companies. and that brought
out the fact that there are now II, 900
acres of swamp lands in this state sub
Ject 10 selection under various grants,
and of this amount all but LOCO acres
are in the land districts of Duluth,
CTOOkStOn, TaylOr's Falls and st. Cloud.
The Hincklev branch of the Minneap-
oils IL st. Cloud railway originally
claimed under the act of Feb.
II, 1865, 1864 acres, and the
Duluth & Iron Range, under
the act of March Q, 1873, claimed Goa
800 acres. About 100000 acres are
claimed to be due TO these companies, SO
the present suit, which only affects
forty acres, is test case. The plaintiff
wants it chiefly because it will prove O
nipeg. and the latter wants it because it
believes it will establish precedent
which will result in its eventually get
ting lands to which it claims title to
under the transfer act of March 9. 1873.
The intervenOr wants it because if it
gets beaten in this action it's chances for
getting slice of the public domain will
be very slim. Counsel Warner moved
to dismiss the action on the ground that
neither plaintiff nor intervenor had any
corporate existence in 1878, and could
not show that they had earned the
right to call single acre of land theirs.
The address occupied nearly the entire
day. Argument against dismissal was
principally conducted by Attorney
Grover for the plaintiff and Attorney
Kellogg for the intervenOr. The judges
denied the motion on the ground that
arguments would ultimately recite the
whole case. An exception was taken by
the defense, and the action proper was
resumed. Introductory arguments for
the defense were at once started by
Counselors Warner and Barr, and will
probably last the balance of this week.

day and the final changes are generally
losses. Kansas City and Omaha frsts
lost at 81, and Peoria and Pekiii
Union seconds 4 at &C, but Chicago and
Paciiic SKIES rose to 11S. Government
ponds have been dull and steady. State
toilds have been dull and steady. The
Post says: "The business prospects of
the Lackawanna, aside from It's coal
trade, nave been improving very greatly
In the last month. both by the increase
of business from its new Western con-
nections with the Green Bay Il Winona
(which is practically controlled by the
L ackawanna-and by the more harmon
lous arrangements between the Laeka-
wanna and the other Eastern trunk
lines. Reading, st. Paul. Louisville &
Nashville and Union Pacific got the
greater part of their support from Lon
don. and though London is not very
bulilsh yet, because the aspects of the
money market are not entirely clear
yet, there has been an improvement in
the temper of speculation there
in the last week, and London
was buying few stocks to-day.
The trunk lines east of Chicago are
doing the heaviest and most profitable
business they have had for over half a
dozen years. and they are evidently de-
terinined not to throw away their OPP
portunlties for profit. as was shown by
their decision yesterday to hereafter
quote rates no further west than Chi
cago. and so avoid any entanglemeuts
with the rate disturbances west of that
point. The trouble between the Lacka-
wanna and the other trunk lines about
emigrant rates has been settled, and the
relations between the trunk lines were
never so harmonious as at present, a
condition which will soon have its
effects on the prices of stock" The
total sales of stocks to-day were

The stock market to-day was less act
i've than yesterday, but, contrary to the
general rule, was stronger. and some
material gains were scored during the
day. The impression entertained by
the bears that the reduction of rates
west of the Missouri river would de-
moralize the whole market has proved
to be mistaken one, and the first at
tempt to-day to cover any outstanding
she short no+o resulted dtfSo,ci in 49,. the recoy;
vote to put into force tariff
20 per cent less than the existing
rates. The information that this reduc-
ton would only affect portion of west
bound business did much to nullify the
influence of the reduction. Among the
favorable factors to-day was the report
of reduction in the Bank of England
rate this week. The reports of the
Atchison for the first week In February.
and of the st. Paul for the second week.
Rock Island, Missouri Pacific and the
Coalers occupied the first place in the
market to-day. and the Improvement in
the first named was steady though slow
after the transactions of the first few
minutes, when there was quite an ex-
element in the stock, sales at S915c
and 90c being made at the same time in
the crowd. Late in the day the
Coalers became prominent and we're
helped by the reports of the JERSEY Cen
trail and the Lehigh Valley for 1889, the
former promising increased dividends
as the business warrants. A few of the
specialties, such as Colorado Coal and
Chicago, st. Louis & Pittsburg pre-
ferred, made sharp advances, and Wis
consin Central, for the first time i'm a
long while, shows an improvement for
the day. Sugar was again most prom
lnent feature in the market, and the
announcement in the morning papers
that refinery at San Francisco belong
ing to the trust had been placed in the
hands of receiver to wind up its affairs
created more bearish feeling on the
trust, and the certificates, on large
business and with great feverishness,
scored final loss of u per cent. There
was better tone toward the close on the
contradiction of portion of the story,
but it closed weak at the lowest price.
The general list closed quiet but firm at

changes are almost all in the direction
of higher prices. and Colorado Coal and
Jersey Central rose II per cent each,

Line was weak and dropned per cent.
Railroad bonds were also less active,

S1,040,000, and the dealings presented
little or no feature. Wisconsin Central

iowa Commissioners Think They
Can Prosecute Him.
When the annual report was SUBJ
mitted to the Iowa railroad commits
sIOners, Receiver Truesdale, of the
Minneapolis 81 st. Louis railroad, re-
ceived communication asking him to
inform them concerning some of the
private matters connected with the
road. This he refused to do, and, i'm
consequence. Gov. Larabee and several
of the Iowa authorities became hot, and
gave it as their opinion that Mr.. Trues-
dale was liable to a criminal prosecution
for his refusal to comply with their de-
mandS. Mr.. TrueSdaie saws that he an
swered such questions as he considered
proper and legal, but as in his opinion
many of them were impertinent and
such as they had no right to
ask, he declined to answer them.
a. E. Clark, the road solicitor.
says that the idea is all nonsense, as a
receiver is an instrument of the court
that appoints him, and is only answer
able TO that court; therefore, no prose-
cution can be begun against him. He
says that the affair is i'll the nature of a
little petty persecution, inStigated by
Gov. Larrabee, who is prejudiced
against the road for private reasons,
and that the correspondence between
the Iowa commissioners was carried on
at his dictation. Mr.. Clark says that
Mr.. Truesdale was perfectly right to re-
fuse to answer the questions, some of
which We're childish. He stated that
they wanted to know just how many
carloads of different kinds of freight the
road had carried from stated points.
They also wanted to know how many
masses the road had issued and tho rnn-
ditions attending the issue of each.
'"lhey sought to pry into the private
business of our Shippers" said he, land
we fatty refused to answer" Mr..
Truesdale is not worrying himself over
the threats of the Iowa authorities, and
rests firm in the conviction that he is in
the right in the matter.
