PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, February 20.-All the
grain markets received a setback to-
day, even the strength of corn evap-
Grating under a pressure Of long stuff
showing profits. Wheat was depressed
by weak cables and poor demand and
closed %@hc lower. Corn declined
Nose, and oats B@Ac. Provisions
closed irregular, a shade lower to 2Rc
higher.
All the strength which characterized
the close in wheat yesterday had dis
appeared before the opening of regu-
lar trading to-day. Early cables were
a distinct disappointment, showing
but a slight response at the opening,
to the advance here yesterday. and
even this soon disappeared. Besides
this, the cash demand was exceeding
ly light. Shortly after the opening a
realizing movement developed, and
selling pressure from this source was
soon increased by the weakness shown
by corn, the result being a material
decline from yesterdays closing fig
ures. The %liquidating movement was
not of long duration, but the demand
did not improve as the pressure wa
relieved, trading becoming dull almost
to stagnation. This condition existed
with short periods of moderate activ-
ity almost to the close, with prices
keeping within a narrow range. Some
Improvement in tone was animated by
the decrease in the worlds visible,
where an increase was expected by
most traders, but the advance was
slight. no really important buying fol-
lowing the posting of the figures.
The southwest reported a good cash
demand, with farmers hauling to mar
ket on a large scale. The worlds WISH
BILE decreased 75S, 5000 bushels. Pri-
mary receipts were placed at 4S1 900
bushels. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ceipts were were 472 cars, against 400
last week and 479 a year ago. Chicago
receipts were 70 cars. Atlantic port
c~learances of wheat and -four amount
ed to $4,000 bushels. The seaboard
reported twelve loads taken for ex-
port. Sales here for shipment
amounted to 100, 900 bushels. May
wheat opened at 6SHc, a decline of
A0&c, sold at 6SHc, declined to 67as
@67sc, and closed %9kc lower at
&C.
There was a broad and active mar
ket for corn, and prices changed rap
idly, though the range was not wide.
Early in the day a disposition to real
ize on long lines was shown, some
prominent bull traders unloading
moderately. and a sharp break In
prices resulted; scalpers followed the
lead of the big traders and accumulated
the weakness. Shipping houses were
also large sellers against country ac-
ceptances on the decline. a good specu-
alive demand developed, and ulti-
mately part of the decline was recov-
cred, the market closing fairly steady
after showing considerable nervous
ness at times. Receipts were 1866 cars.

STOCKS-The speculation opinion
showed itself to-day rather unsettled
and doubtful as reflected by the OPP
erations of professional traders. The
news of the day SO far as it affected
values Of securities was all favorable,
but 1t failed to attract any demand
for stocks from the general issue.
This Induced a spirit of caution
amongst professional operators about
taking on large lines of stock in view
OF the doubtful market afforded for
realizing. The bears were inclined to
make overtures, encouraged by this
doubtful spirit. But while they sue
ceeded in forcing large declines in a
few special stocks they failed toinduce
any general liquidation. The under
tone of the market was distinctly firm
and the opening gains which were
pretty generally wiped out were large
ly recovered again in the final deal
ings. London was disposed to buy
stocks here and while the volume of
the buying was not important the ten
dency was considered to be so, in view
OF the condition in the exchange mar
ket and the approaching loan for war
purposes to be placed by the British
government. The tendency of rail-
road stocks was upwards at the start
and there was special strength where
reports showed a high level of earn
ings. Southern railway was the most
notable addition to-day to the large
gains for the second week in Febru-
airy, its increase over last years SIM
liar period being no less than As per
cent. The Southern group generally
showed the benefit of this increase.
Last weeks east-bound shipments
from Chicago eclipsed all previous re-
cords and stimulated the railroad list
generally. The yearly report of the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western.
gave an impetus to the anthracite
group in which Reading first preferr-
ed led, Lackawanna itself yielding on
realizing. The next result of the
years operations for this road was a
surplus after dividends of 81. 667. 173
against a deficit last year of S5O9. 1856.
This result was achieved in spite of
the large decrease in gross earnings

MISS Florence billiard, who has already

visiting her family at 21O6 G street north
west. Miss billiard graduated in this coun-
try, then went abroad and studied under
the renowned Hair of Berlin and Ysaye
Brussels returning to America land crowned
with success. She is sought not only for her
mastery control Of her violin, but for her
gentle manner and charming personality.
Among the pianists announced to be
heard In this country during the coming
season the most interest is being centered
upon the tourney of the young Hungarian
Ernat Won Dohnanyi, who last spring made
MS debut IN this country with the Boston
symphony Orchestra. He was heard only
IN New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Brooklyn, but these few appear
ances We're sufficient to give him a place in
the front rank of the pianists who have
peen heard IN this country. He is unlike
.he average piano virtuoso. His purpose
Is evidently to do the fullest Justice to the
composers work. He makes no attempt at
personal display, and devotes every re-
source of his art to the revelation Of the
lnnermost spirit of the compositions he Is
seeking to interpret. 1t Is In the performance
Of Beethoven. Schubert, Brahms and
CHOPIN that he reaches the highest level of
excellence as conceded in by the different
musical critics. Mr.. Dohnanyi Is a pupil of
