NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Senor de

Washington, sailed on the steamship
Britannia for Liverpool today Compli-
mentary resolutions were presented to
him on board by a delegation of Span
iards. There was no hostile demon
stration of any kind.
The Spanish ministry and the Span
ish people have been greatly misun-
derstood in this country" said Senior
de Lone this morning. THEY all de
sire peace; they all want peace with
America and Americans, not only
from motives of policy, but because
they love America.
II am forced to say now, by this
terrible affair, what I should have been
precluded from saying before. There
is no country in the world that / love
as 1 do America. I love the country
and the people 1t is with the keen
est regret that I take my leave as a
result of this unfortunate letter Incl
dent. Nearly all prominent Spaniards
and men of influence in my country
share my views in regard to America.
Spain cannot afford to have war
with the United States. If only from
motives of policy they are determined
not to have war. If the Maine has

MARKET SUMMARY.

CHICAGO Feb 16.-Shorts in wheat caught
1t hard today. May was bid up to s1.03S
and closed at 1.O3A, an advace of 81 @3Bc.
July, hitherto very quiet, also moved up as
much as May. The May price is the highest
reached for that delivery since 1891. 1t was
almost altogether a scare market, shorts be-
ing thoroughly alarmed over the Letter grip
on wheat. They found great difficulty in
covering A feature the buying near the
close by Letter brokers of all the July Of
fered. Corn and oats were strong and higher,
advancing 3sc and oats 1sdAc. Provis-
ions were irregular, and closed at slight
decline.
Prices Of May wheat ranged from 99%c to
$1C0, compared with yesterdays closing price
of S93s @9914c. There was a perfect rush of
shorts for cover at once, but as was the case
yesterday, almost no wheat was offered for
Gale.
Inside of fifteen minutes bids had been
raised to $101A This was above call price,
and for the first time wheat came on the
market in considerable quantities. Most Of
ferings against those privileges. Though
eTything offered was taken, prices sagged OFF
to $1.G012. and the excitement, which had
been intense, died down to certain ex-
tent.
1t was evident the trade was alarmed over
the apparently unsuitable hold Letter has
on May wheat, and the official announcement
that he has contracted for the moving of
eco blu of his wheat for the seaboard
with the promised movement of 100000 blu
more served to increase the anxiety of shorts
to get out This, in fact, seemed to be the
only factor in trading. Apparently no atten-
ton was paid to the news of the blowing up
of the battleship Maine, and the usual news
was colorless.
Liverpool was 3s@5sd higher at the close.
Northwest receipts were $50 cars, against 34S
a week ago, and 165 last year. Chicago re
ceipts were 40 cars, 10 of which were graded
contract Thursdays clearances from Allan
tic ports amounted to 100000 blu.
For some time the market fuctuated ner-
vously on narrow amount of trading, but
about noon It commenced to advance again,
and on this advance outsiders made their in
