CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. Feb. 19.-The most important in- formation which wheat traders had to start with was the statement made by Joseph Letter that he had engaged, ocean freight room for 100000 bushels of his wheat, all of which had ben sold to nilers and consumers. Liv- erpooi cables also showed strength. The result was very strong opening, May start ing unchanged to 1kc higher at from s1 031e to si o4' advancing at once to s1 O. There was remarkable scarcity of offerings, and 1t took out very little buying to advance the price. Juy was fully as active and strong as May, opening hq%e higher at SsA@Ssc, and rising to soc before enough wheat came out to stop .he advance. The advance to $1 05 in May was followed by Hc reaction but reports that oVoooV bushels of Letters wheat at Duluth was to be shipped all rail to the seaboard stiifened the backbone of the market and prices soon got back to the previous high point and then passed it. For half an hour the market held around sl o5 for May and soc Tor July. July then suddenly broke. loose. traders In trying to protect themselves against weekly calls discovered that the market was practically bare of offerings, and in their anNiety to get wheat began raising their prices hall cent at time. That brought short interests to the pit in a hurry About the same time brokers for Letter appeared with d number of buying orders, especially for July The market advanced so fast that ctiangeS Tn price could hardly be kept track or All shorts tried to stop losses and for nearly half hour the market was in state -;,o s+ seiooih seen In the mean oa.ie oasn Hay had advanced to S1 09 and July to 9SS4c, more than 5c over yesterdays close At those hgures the market was flooded with wheat on realizing sales. and sharp declines followed.

ASSOCIATED BANKS STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-The Financier says: The statement of the Associated Banks for the week ending February 19 is remarkable for its loan and cash showings. Ordinarily an in- crease of SLOTS, 800 in loans is accompanied by a proportionate expansion in the deposits, but in the current statement deposits are also sta- tionary showing decrease of s136, 600. On the cash the gain of s1, ,S66. 100 in species having been offset by a decrease of ss,345,500 in legal tenders
 Where this money went is somewhat prob- lematical but the statement analysed as to individual changes shows one large bank to have lost nearly five million in cash. Its loans remain at nearly the same figure pre- viously reported and It's deposits have fallen off five million. Threeseof the other large banks seem to have lost three millions in cash week.
 The only inference is that the cash loaned or an amount large has grown out of banks, since 1t does not show in the deposits and the increase in loans and the decrease in cash almost exactl-- offset each other. As the reserve requirements for the week were not affected by heavy deposit changes. the loss in cash reduces the surplus reserve by almost the same amount drawn out of the banks. The 4o0, amount almost one-haf as large reported for the same week last year. Since January 29. this year. the loss in reserve has been $10, ,000. 000 while deposits have increased s1s ,OOo and loans s23. 0O6OO0. In other words loans expanding faster than deposits and cash is. decreasing as a, result. Although the is significant as showing that the flow of money to this center has been checked to meet growing demands at interior points New York Exchange at nearly all domestic centers is at a discount and the actual Shipments of currency to the banks in a number of cities widely separated is healthful indication of the outlook is that 1t will. firmer money market will be only natural result.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET,

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-There was a feeling of uneasiness over the European political situ- ation reflected from all foreign exchanges to- day before the opening of trading on the New York Exchange The collision of. British and French authorities in the Niger district and the excited condition of the public mind in France were the motives of the heaviness which in London resulted in fall of Id in British consols American securities were af fected by the general heaviness growing out of Cuban questions. Declines in Americans reached point in London in number of cases before the opening here, and as conse-. quenee selling orders were placed for London account at the opening.~ There was no local support for prices. On the contrary there was a resumption of liquidation and bears were en- outraged to raid the market Prices quickly fell not only to the London parity, but below it. The declines ranging up to three points and over invited covering by the shorts and prices harened, but at no. time did they. fully recover to the close Weakness apparent in Sugar made 1t the center of a fierce raid in the final dealings and 1t sank to 12S2s, the whole list selling off to the lowest. There was very determined support for Sugar at below l29 and the closing of the market saw battle royal in progress between the bulls and bears. and the market consequently in very unset tied condition. Rallies of point made by a number of stocks besides Sugar, but net losses were left average of over point London selling was a feature of the day and the supply of St Paul from that source was sufficient to meet large demand here and keep the price down. The rate war in prospect between the Canadian Pacific and the Transcontinental lines in the United States for KIondtke traffic was a large factor, caus- ing decline of three points in Canadian Pa ciic and of less amounts in the other roads affected
 Union Pacific fours were very heavily dealt in, two individual transactions of par value of s25o. 900 and s15O, GOO respectively being re- corded One block of 100. 600 of Rock Island ex- tension fves also changed hands The week. development in the Cuban question efectually unsettled the market and precipitated heavy liquidation of speculative accounts.
