A BIG DAY In WHEAT.

The Market Said to BE IN the Hands OF a
Strong Criqu.-A Largo Grist of Bullish
News--AIay Goes Up to 95c-other Grains
Quiet
CHICAGO-The wheat pit was the center
OF interest on the Board of Trade to-day. In
fact, it nearly monopoliZed trading Tor
considerable part OF the session. An innu-
ential factor was the published statement
that the market was in the control OF bull
clique, with Standard Oil, the nitrate beds
and the bonanza billions at its command.
There were other causes for strength, how
ever. Cables were strong and higher.
Brddst7eet'S showed decline of all available
stocks of 9, $50, 900 bushels on both coasts. The
weather, too, WAS threatening Inen there
was the Cincinnati Price Currents gloomy
crop summary.
May wheat closed Yesterday at 931%c On
the curb this morning it sold as high al 942sc.
The opening on the Board was somewhat
ragged, with sales at 9319c to 94c. The ad-
vance was met by flood of sales OF long
wheat, which was held at profit, and OF
sales against "calIs" and, though many
shorts were scared into covering, the offer
Jugs were so heavy that the market sagged
off steadily to a3c. Then there was reac-
tion to 9334c; another recession to 9314c, fol-
lowed by a little more firmness till noon:
During the last Eour the market continued
unsettled. May sold OFF to 931sc: reacted to
931sc; held for some time around that figure,
then near the close shot up to and closed
firm at 95c
Corn was quiet and its fluctuations and
prices were confined to n comparatively
marrow range, following pretty closely the
price changes in wheat. Values at Liver
pool were &c higher, but Bradsfreets report
ed an increase of 1882 900 bushels i'll the
available supply. May opened Nc higher,
at 42c; fiuctuated between 4l34c and 42l c,and
closed steady at the opening price.
Oats quiet ana steady, closing at the high
est figures of the day.
Hog products were rather strong in synpa-
thy with grains May pork, which closed
at Sll S5 yesterday, opened at Sll 30, with
one sale at Sl2 90; weakened gradually to
sll So: rallied and closed at S1l 971a. Lard
and ribs show light gains.

NEW York, Feb. 1S.-Trade in drygoods
was of a steady character, with increasing
tendencies, orders bein larger in some In
stances, with deliveries still in arrears The
improved attention extended by exporters
to heavy cottons for the China market is a
new and favorable feature, inasmuch as the
want OF such demand was the weak point in
the market. Basiness in prints picked up
and especially in the way Of
delivery of goods held subject to delivery
orders. Blankets were more in request and
there was something done in WOODEN under
wear for next season. The jobbing trade
was very fair in all departments

THE MONEY MARKET.
Signs More Favorable for Great Activity in
the Spring


New features were scarce at the city banks
yesterday. In fact there were none. There
was a moderate call for loans, with funds
more than sufficient to meet it. Signs were
little clearer for an active spring trade.
The pleasant weather was an inspiration,
and there was more street hustling than
usual Rates were unchanged. Bank clear

AMERICAN INVENTIONS In INDIA.
Something of Interest to all Ameri-
cans.

A Calcutta letter says that American in
ventions and discoveries are fast displaeing
the older ones Of English manufacture in the
Indian Empire. Thus, a few years ago, tho
American hervesters and reapers were en-
tirely unknown, where now there are many.
The American telephone has been introduced
in most of the large cities Stranger than
all, the old-fashioned, huge pills are fast CIV
ing place to DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, or
"P p P,n which were first introduced in
London some years ago by their American
proprietors. Every Englishman who enjoys
good eating, must have his dinner-pill, and
it is not unusual to see distinguished persons
draw from their waisteoats a tiny little vial
of these Pellets, and take one with their wine.
After taking one you feel well, instead of
bilious and constipated your sick headache,
dizziness and indigestion are gone. It's done
mildly and easily, too. These are tiny,
sugar-coated, but thorough in results. One

They regulate and cleanse the liver, stomach
and bowels quickly, but thoroughly. They
are guaranteed to give satisfaction.
