CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO Feb. 17.-There was considerable
stea dness in wheat during the first half hour 8
trading. Early Liverpool and New York quo
tations showed a marked advance, while there
was a good deal of nervousness among local
traders growing out of the sudden death of
President Faure of France and the contingent
cies which might follow. May opened 1sc
higher at 73A 1739sc, and as there was dispo-
sition to even up there was good business
transacted at the top figure. The news and
conditions, however. finally began to favor the
bear side and early buyers lost confidence and
Withdrew their support. Liverpool lost part
Of its early advance and indications at stock
taking centers pointed toward an increase in
the visible supply. Taking the latter matters

there have been six arrivals of coal from Wash

from Australia 1911 tons; total. 1882 tons.
Although the quantity at hand is about one
half the amount received last week. yet the
needs of all are fairly we'll supplied, as the
warm weather this week has cut down the con-
sumption for household purposes fully so per
cent When the Honolulu contracts for British
Columbia Goals shall have been shipped. there
will be difficulty in having this market
dry weather should continue for a few weeks
longer, there may probably be some marking
up of values, as coal freights from Australia
and Great Britain will assuredly advance There
being no business awaiting them on arrival
here, ship owners will surely avoid this port
They will not name any reasonable freight
rates at present, awaiting the rains to declare
themselves. Our coast colliery groprietors
naturally avail themselves of the higher cost
of competing foreign fuel and act accordingly
by raising prices. This applies only to Goals
for steam uses, as there is no likelihood of
any change OF quotations for domestic grades.
Another dry season would prove fatal also to
the coal trade. Although the prices to steam
producers would be higher the quantity con-
sumed would be materially diminished. The
outlook for the moment is certainly discourag-
ing although there is ample time yet to save
