Ruling Prices in Produce at the sea-

NEW YORK. Feb. 16-Develcpments in
wheat late this afternoon We're OF a some
what sensational. character. After fighting
the hardening tendency all day, the local
crowd was finally cornered and forced to
pay Il sharp advance in the last ten min
utes of the session, jumping prices 1sassc
to 1890, for May, with a subsequent rise to
$.00ls on the curb. Attending this bulge
was news to-day that Wheat in Chicago had
been elevated to $10il9. Neither cables nor
home crop news had any material influence
on to-day's market The Havana disaster
was equally without effect, although natur-
ally creating n profound impression on
Change. Coarse grains were much
stronger, particularly corn, which advanced
about a cent a bushel. Export interest was
retarded by the sensational advance. July
wheat showed particular strength on cover
ing and closed 24c higher than last night

BOSTON, Feb. 16.-The American Wool and
Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow of the wool
market: The dizziness has become greatly inten-
sitied. The mills which consume 10000 900 pounds
or more Of wool a year all out of the market.
and the smaller concerns in the very nature of
things could not make demand sufficient to
keep the volume of transactions at the figures
which were reported few weeks ago. The mills
are now busy grinding up ante-tariff wool in or
der, as one manufactures says to the in
terest on 1t. In other words, the mills show
ing a fair profit on their goods to-day, because
they are making them from free wool. Some of
them have already obtained three months orders,
and some have got enough to keep them running
until the end of August. On market as dull as
the present 1t is, of course, impossible to main
tam prices all along the line. The sales of the
week amount to l,SO6, 200 pounds domestic and
S6S, 2S0 pounds foreign making a total q $50
pounds, against total of 115 600 pounds for ths
previous week

PHILADELPHIA, May Ian order from
the Navy Department has been received at
Cramps shipyard by the officers who have
charge of the enlistment of volunteers in
the naval service directing that the rightly
or the regulation be relaxed in order that
recruits for the st. Paul and the other
auxiliary cruisers may be more easily
brought into the service. So many men have
been rejected because of trivial physical
defects, but who are nevertheless desirable
additions TO the service, that the relaxation
of the rule wQs found necessary. 1t is I'M
derstood, however, that the new rules APP
ply only TO volunteers and that the nava!
regulations governing the enlistment OF
regular Seamen will be strictly adhered to.
The st. Paul will sail from Cramps
shipyard on Wednesday next. She has only
5000 tons of her coal supply in her bunkers
now and will sail light in order to get
safely over the shoal spots in the Delaware
river. At deep water point the st. Paul
will be joined by four coal barges and she
will then receive the balance of her coal
supply.
