THE RED FLAG
It Has Green Center, and That
Means an Old He-Blizzard.
Is COMING FROM DAKOTA
It's Travelling This Way With an Ex-
tensive Line of Samples In Snow
and Gale and Ice and
Other Winter Goods

Great Falls, Feb. 15.-For the first
time the red flag with the green square
in the center is flying tonight. Word
was received by c. L. Herzog, the local
observer this afternoon that a norther
was approaching from the direction of
the Dakotas. Everything here was Sc
rene, save that the usual chinook was
loosening all of the real estate in the
county, and Herzog hesitated about
hanging out the storm flag. Finally, al
most against his judgment, he put it up,
and the weather is rapidly changing to
conform with the prediction. Walter
Clark, junior member of the firm Of
Clark Bros, has just telephoned the
home ranch to look out for the protec-
ton of the sheep. and another gentleman
who had ordered a team to go out into
the country tomorrow has Cancelled the
order 1t is possible that Herzog's the
DRY of the impossibility of extremely
low temperature may be severely tested
tonight.

CHICAGO MARKETS.


Chicago Feb 15.-For a few minutes
following the opening in wheat it looked
as If the dollar mark for May wheat was
at last to be reached. There was hardly
any wheat offered for sale on the curb.
This condition also prevailed when the
regular market opened Reports that Lei
ter had contracted with the Lehigh road
for the moving of 100000 bushels of his
wheat to the seaboard came from New
York. They were not substantiated. but
the report rapidly spread that May
wheat is almost completely tied up By
Letters influences, and when the mar
ket opened there was a rush Of anxious
shorts TO get under cover.
May, which closed yesterday at 9Sfsft
asi4c. opened to-day at 9s3sugsssc. Even
al this substantial advance the market
WAS almost bare of offerings and the price
Was bid up steadily to s9a4 A peculiar
feature Of the advance was the number
Of stop-loss orders in short wheat.
Wheat began to come out after the call
price ta9isc) had been passed, but offer
ings were eagerly accepted and the mar
ket did not hesitate much until s9s4c had
been reached. This price brought out a
lot of wheat from commission houses.
May dropped back TO 9s.e. There Il hung
for time.
Argentine cables repeated yesterdays
reports of poor threshing returns and the
lower exportab bic estimates. A little before
midday the price shot up again under
renewed demand from shorts and May
got TO s97sc before the reaction came.
Letter had sold no wheat during the day.
On the contrary. he was credited with
buying a little. This added To the belief

duce-Review of Trade.

New York, Feb. 15.-To-day's sharp rally
in stocks is to be attributed TO the cover
ing of short contracts put out in yester-
days furry. Buying was said to be heavy
for Washington account, which was
heavy seller yesterday. Yesterdays losses
were more than recovered in most cases.
Notwithstanding a smaller volume of bus
mess to-day There was at least one pc
riod of general reaction during the day.
but it was of short duration and declines
reached small proportions.
There was also profit taking in a few
special stocks, which did not affect the
general list to a noticeable extent. Amer
lean securities continued to be favorites
on the London stock exchange, where the
prices of Americans were marked up with
a distinctly confident tone before the
opening here, and London continued
buyer here even after prices had adj
yanced to the London parity. Much stress
was LAID on this indicating definite
change in the attitude of the British IN
yesting public toward American securi-
ties.
They We're persistent sellers of Ameri-
cans during all of last summer and dur
ing the subsequent rise, which has been
almost continuous since November. They
are now buying American stocks at prices
many points above where they sold This
buying is regarded as far more significant
on account of the higher rates of money
in London as compared with New York
and the heavy balance of exchange still
known to be outstanding in favor of TINS
country.
In Paris Spanish As declined on fears of
strained relations between Spain and the
United States and American securities
declined on some continental exchanges,
but London needed none of these con-
siderations and continued buying at adj
vancing prices.
Foreign exchange begins to reflect this
buying and demand sterling to-day de-
clined Il and cable transfers the same
amount. Metropolitan Street Railway
showed a continuance of yesterdays weak
ness after an early period of strength
and dropped four points. 1t subsequently
rallied, but closed the day with a sharp
loss. Other local securities were strong.
Minnesota Iron was conspicuously heavy
and Lake Shore ruled below last nights
price. There We're few losses shown by
conspicuous stocks, but the general level
was very materially higher. In the active
list net gains of between one and two
points for the day were frequent.
