CHICAGO CLOSING QUOTATIONS..
LATEST LONDON QUOTATIONS.


"WEDNESDAY, Feb. II.
The demand for stocks to cover shorts, which
was the feature of Yesterdays market became
exhausted soon after the resum ption Of business
this morning. As there 10 no particular inquiry
for stocks from any other source, the market
became dull and saeEed tho greater part Of the
day. Reports that = fairly largo sugar refinery
may be erected In Long Island City to CON-
pete with the American Company checked
the advance In Sugar Rehning. Other
unsettlinE influences were sharp declines
In Hooking Valley securities. W hlch wero gen.
orally regarded as foreshadowing q default In
payment Of the interest upon the company's
bonds due March !. and q break Of three points
in the price OF Lehlgh Valley stock in the Phila-
delphia market. The condition OF both the bi-
luminous and anthracite coal industries Is Civ
ing those interested in them good deal OF anx-
iety. Tho professional element found vuiner-
able spot in Missouri Pacific. and succeeded In
lowering the price nearly ~ p cent.
Tho encouraging features OF tho days bust
ness were fairly liberal purchases OF Northern
Pacific securities aud OF Atchison adjustment
bonds for European account. There was some
covering Of shorts In United States Leather pre-
fcrred which kept that stock from participating
In the almost general tendency of the list toward
lower prices. The only noteworthy exception to
tho rule, however. was American Tobacco.
which was taken in hand In q characteristic
WAY and marked up o,s y cent. At times the
market was almost At . standstill, and as
whole 1t was more unintsresting than 81 any
time Of late slight rally In the late dealings
left prices q little above the lowest figures re-
corded.
Final sales COMPARE with those of yesterday
