there and with outports for export,
and when these figures were posted
there was a general rush 10 buy. The

Inc market closed strong at 96Ac.
Corn was moderatively active and
firm. There was quite good buying
by professional and COMMISSION
houses. The strength OF wheat was
influential as was the wet weather,
which was expected to materially dc
crease rates. Country offerings were
smaller and the foreign situation firm.
May ranged from 1914 0293s to 29c and
closed 1sc higher at 291Ac.
Oats were slow and easy at the start
but soon became firm and remained SO
for the rest of the session. Fair sell
ing by some of the recent largS buy

Chicago, February S-Wheat to-day
was helped by the bast cash trade in
two weeks. Heavy export engagements
at the seaboard and q pressing demand
for milling purposes at outside points
converted the market from dullness to
activity and strength, May closing at
an advance OF 1850. The coarse grain
and provision markets were firm, the
strength coming largely from wheat.
Corn and oats advanced 1sc each and
hog products closed unchanged to
215c higher. Wheat was lower at the
start May opening at 945sc, as COM
pared with yesterdays closing price of
94kc. Beyond the heaviness of the
Northwest. receipts there was nothing
particularly striking in the early news.
but the continued heavy arrivals at the
hig receiving points was sufficient to
cause weakness at the start. though
no selling of consequence was done.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported ar
rivals Of 452 cars, against $40 last
week. and 352 a year ago. Chicago re-
ceipts were 81 cars, five of which were
OF contract grade. Soon after the open
ing quite a good demand developed
and from a condition OF dizziness the
market took on quite a degree of
activity. Shorts covered quite freely
and the May price advanced to 951sc.
There was some attempt to break the
market at that point, and with some
degree of success. the price being
forced back to $3.50, but il quicA-y re-
bounded again to 94Ac. There it hung
for while. Moderate purchases for

but with the publication of the queen s
speech the investment public over
there was treasured that the nation
was at peace with all the powers of
Europe. and the market for American
stocks opened about New York parity,
but Immediately rose Il TO y per cent,
becoming very strong toward the close
on buying for new account. lAbitrage
interests. however. had only a few
scattering buying orders although
purchases for London account aggre-
gate fully $4,000 shares. Atchison
preferred was bought heavily and as
the session advanced, prices from
abroad continued bullish, particularly
on Erie, Atehison, Denver, Norfolk &
Western. Nothing new, prices inevi-
tably result Notwithstanding frac-
tional recessions in st. Paul, people
who followed the movement of this
stock declare that good buying is very
much in evidence, and they continue
to pin faith in ability of Standard Oil
people and London to carry this stock
to a higher level. 1t is understood
that the Metropolitan Stceet Railway
Co has made contracts with General
Electric for more than 500 motors for
new cars, and that the saving in the
operation of the divisions of the road
which have already been equipped
with electricity, is far beyond the an
ticipation of insiders. Those who are
in a position to be well informed de-
clare that General Electric not only
has $2.000,444 cash on hand, but the
financiers behind have formulated a
plan for funding the accumulated div
idends on the preferred stock, the
outcome of which will be that the com
mon stock will come for a share OF
the earnings which the company is
now making, and recent activity in
the company's securities is considered
as indicative of very favorable results.
The bond market continues to show
the same strength and people who are
familiar with the reorganization and
refunding plans and condition of the
money market are confident buyers OF
many of the bond issues.

Chicago, February S.-Early trans
actions in wheat were not marked by
any especial features and with trading
almost bordering on dullness in initial
prices, prices were a share below last
nights close, the May option starting
&c lower at 945sc. Cables were steady
but Northwest receipts were the prin-
cipal depressing influence. Minneap-
oils and Duluth reported the receipt
of 452 cars, against $40 last week, and
332 cars last year. Chicago receipts
aggregated 81 cars. These heavy ar
rivals We're responsible for the opening
recessions in values. Offerings, how
ever, were very light and after holding
steady for some time, the market grad
ually advanced a substantial fraction.
