CHICAGO, February 2.-Direct
Paris cables reporting the French
crop prospects bad were the potent
bull influences in a fairly active
wheat market to-day, May closing rs
0%c over yesterday. Corn closed &c
and oats 1s@Ae higher. Provisions
were fairly active and strong on light
receipts of hogs and reduction in
stocks May pork closed zoe, May lard
15c and May ribs 10@121kc higher
May wheat opened a shade under
yesterday at SIX @677sc. Cables were
barely steady; Paris 10 confines low
er, and Argentine shipments indicated
that the plague was not curtailing the
export business to a great extent. The
market soon turned firm, as Paris at
the close showed some recovery and
also apprehension as to the fate of the
domestic crop. Upon the arrival Of
private cables announcing a serious
prospect for the French crop the adj
vance, which had been rather irreg-
ular, received a new impetus which
carried May to 685sc. The close was
M@Ac higher at 6S1z@68ssc for May.
The last hour of the session trade, pre-
yiously rather quiet, was active. For
eigners were credited with buying, and
local interests bought freely. Prim-
airy receipts were $4,000 bushels, COM
pared with $4,000 bushels last year.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 311
cars, against 1862 last week and 4l0 a
year ago. Local receipts were "a cars,

Small country offerings and good
cash business were factors in the
strong corn market. Liverpool was
higher, and clearances were heavy.
The cash business amounted to $780,
900 bushels. Trade was fairly active
during the latter part of the session.
Local receipts were 476 cars. May

Oats were firm in sympathy with
other grains and on small country Of

fair and both shorts and cash people
bought futures. Receipts here were
1O6 cars. May ranged from 23Ac to
231bc and closed B@Ac over yester-
day at 231zc. Trade was quiet.
The provisions market was strong.
Small receipts of hogs and the fact
that stocks increased much less than

a good general demand. May pork
ranged from $40 TN to $40 50, clos

CHICAGO, February 2.-~Faflure on
the part OF the Building Trades Coun-
Gil Of Chicago to act on the rules sub
united by the contractors association
at their meeting to-day, circulars is
sued by several contractors to their en-
ployes assert, will result in a lockout
Monday. The threat is the first that
has been made iby the contractors since
the drawing of the rules. The circu-
lars were issued by the employees of
the sheet metal and bridge and struc-
turai iron workers. AS neither OF these
unions had trouble over the wage scale,
the action of the contractors is taken
to mean that the lockout will be declare
ed without difference On wages.
President Carroll, of the Building
Trades Council, said that no attention
would be paid to the threats Of the con-
tractors.
None of the labor leaders express
hopes that successful settlement can
he reached before Monday. They re-
gard it as certain that lockout will
be called on that day. and say they will
take no steps to prevent 1t. They be-
iieye they can win in short time and
think the general contractors will sup
port them.

Railroad bonds, firm.
To-day's stock speculation furnished
adequate proof that increased interest
was being manifested by the public in
the market. This supposition was
based On the extensive trading in rail-
road stocks which comprised properties
traversing a wide area. Professional
operators, perceiving that support from
commission houses could be relied up
on In an upward movement in the
standard stocks, devoted their energies
in this direction, causing the special
ties to occupy a secondary position in
the market. This change of front was
in a measure due also to the fact that
some of the industrials which had sus-
tanned a substantial rise showed evil
dences of good realizing. Recognition
of the encouraging general situation and
indifference of the local market to for
eign complications was the primary
cause of the revival of outside interest.
Important movements appeared to be
under way by substantial interests, as
to-day's strength developed in first one
group of railroad stocks and then an
other until the list showed gains run
ming from / to 31& points. In connec-
ton with the enormous buying OF the
Baltimore & Ohio stocks statement
that the management had sold $780,
900 four per cent bonds OF the road,
and $4,000 900 of that Of subsidiary
line to provide Improvements accounted
for their buoyant rise. AS the tendency
of prices became pronounced, arbitrage
houses took advantage CT the level to
unload, but their offerings of 10000
shares presented no effectual check to
the currency. Leading standard short
lines in some of the middle grade rail
roads were covered and blocks OF 1000
to 5000 shares figured plentifully
throughout the list. Interest was diff
fused into a great variety of stocks and
at times some of the usually neglected
ones Wed with the recognized leaders
in point of animation. Early opera
tons indicated that powerful interests
were engaded in the metal stocks as
