A week in the New York stock market
begun with advancing prices and general
expectation of continuance of the bull
movement ended yesterday with general
declines, a bad bank statement, and some
uneasiness as to the immediate future
range of prices. 1t is probable that the
larger number of average-sized bulls are
disconnected and disappointed over the out
come II is difficult to trace the reasons
for the change from advancing prices on
Tuesday to a general decline on Thursday,
after the holiday. At the beginning OF the
week there was belief in many quarters
that the boom was on again in full force.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Trading Largely Professional, With
Bearish Sentiment.

Chicago, Feb. 25.-Wheat sold up half a
cent on buying by local short interest, but
at the advance offerings became more lib
eral, resulting in losses of early improve
ment. There is no new feature to the
market. Trading is largely professional
and the predominating sentiment bearish
on the theory that but little damage has
resulted to the growing crop from recent
cold weather. Export bids for cash wheat
were generally out of line. The visible
Monday is not expected to show much
change. There was little change in corn
at the close today from latest prices OF
yesterday.

at generally lower range of prices.
Burlington was the strongest of the group
on a generally better feeling as to the re-
funding plan, which will undoubtedly be
an excellent thing for the stockholders in
4 small WAY.
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1899-02-26

The rapid advance Of Burlington stock on
the refuDding rumors, followed by like ad-
vances in the other grangers and later in
the general list, was most encouraging and
suggestive. After the long run in the
other direction the movement looked like
a turn upward, and the people vino believe
in much higher prices everywhere on &C
count of the general prosperity began TO
talk of l15 for Burlington, and $50 for st.
Paul, and 100 for Atchison preferred and
the preferred Pacific stocks. over the holt
day there seems TO have been somewhat or
a change Of sentiment. The bears began
on Thursday morning and have continued
since that time a brisk campaign. After
lie sharp rallies in many stocks it was easy
TO force prices down somewhat, especially
as the leaders do not seem to have done
much to prevent the reaction. The tele-
gram from Dewey on Friday and the bank
statement yesterday added to the courage
of the bears, and also induced many hold
ers of long stock TO sell out. As result
prices are now two or three points of from
the highest on Tuesday in nearly the en-
tire list. 1t is difficult TO predict what the
Immediate outcome of this movement will
be. On the whole. however, it is probable
that majority of the critics expect some
what lower prices early this week, even II
the downward movement does not continue
further. II may be said with little hesita-
