EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The stock prices were
extremely variable to-day, but ended with only
fractional net changes, the majority of which
were upward. Many conflicting reports reached
the street as 10 the probabilities of confirma-
ton or rejection Of the peace treaty, and these
were instrumental in staying values The first
effect Of the uprising at Manila was discourag-
ing. Stocks opened below London parity. and
there were soon material declines in a number
of cases. London sold about - 600 shares nf
stock Traders bought on the decline and
prices improved. Although dealings were much
contracted compared with recent averages
prices rose above Saturdays closing Houses
with Washington connections were watched
narrowly with view of getting some intima-
ton by their dealings as TO the treaty ;
CiiaHces' Out no decided tendency one way or
the other could be detected. Toward midday
the market again worked upward, with minor
periods OF depression, but gradually top figures
were generally reached The impression pre-
vailed in some quarters that the outburst of
the Filiplnos assured the treaty's ratification
ana on the theory that settlement of the IN
certainty would be beneficial there was buy
ing Of stocks. On the other hand, many de-
clded to reduce their commitments over night
az q precautionary measure. and these con-
tending interests gave the markets its appear
ance OF irregularty.
The feverishness which prevailed in the early
dealings IN measure gradually disappeared
as the DAY wore on, and the middle and low
priced stocks symDathized in the advancing
tendency Of gilt edge stocks. In the final deal

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Early wheat news was
not of nature to bring in fresh buying orders,
and the market opened weak Liverpool ca
bles came equal to &c per bushel lower. and
the London markets showed even a greater
decline. The worlds shipments the past week
amounted TO about nine million bushels or two
million above requirements. May opened &c
lower, at 112 arc, and touched 72Ac. The visi-
bic statement, when completed. showed 400 900
bushels increase, where a decrease had been
looked for. This caused a general effort to get
rid OF long wheat and the pressure soon car
ried May off to 1hc. Shorts became active
buyers on the announcement of clearances at
Atlantic seaboard which amounted to 705, 900
bushels In the final dealings, New York re-
ported that sixty-eght boatoads had been sold
for export. and that caused more activity in
the buying, the consequence of which was an
advance in May wheat to 72l4c, and 723sQ72hc
was its closing price.
Corn suffered a little early in sympathy with
wheat but was the whole remarkably firm.
Covering by shorts brought about upturn.
May closed 1. higher.
Oats gained &c and closed at 2sc buyers.
Provisions developed easier tendency at
the start. but later rallied on buying of lard
by English houses and heavy purchases of pork
by packing houses. Pork rose 7lza1Oc. lard nc
and ribs sc.
