THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat, Corn, and Oats Ad-ance-l
Large Demand for prOytsiop..

CHICAGO, Feb. Wheat was strong
today. Local traders were inclined 10 an
tagonize tae advance. but commission
houses were good buyers and readily alb
sorbed their offerings. Liverpool was
steady and unchanged to is lower. Paris
closed 1-2c higher on wheat and 1-4c
higher on -four. Other continental mar
kets were higher. Our visible supply will
decrease about 10000 bushels, There
were 2s loads taken for export. The wheat
situation is growing stronger.
Corn closed Csc over Thursday and the
shipping sales here today are over mil
lion bushels. The advance In rail rates,
which is 10 go into effect February 10,
seems to be proving an incentive TO hurry
ing corn out. Western offerings today
were small and were so yesterday. There
continues buying by the interest which
has been conspicuously bullish here for so
long. The car lots viii show for the next
week or SO the effect of the larger country
purchases early this week.
Oats closed 1-SG1-ic n;-sr Thursday,
sympathizing with wheat AID corn. Shorts
were buyers and there was a fair shipping
business.
The light stocks OF provisions here and
at Western packing centres, with only a
slight increase in the worlds visible sup
ply Of lard last month as compared with
an increase OF $1,000 tierces the CORE
spending month last year, caused an
awakening in the provision trade, prices
advancing sharply under a large general
demand. The market closed strong around
top prices. The legitimate situation on
provisions looks decidedly strong.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 2.-President John
X Coweu, OF the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, returned to this city today from
New York, where he attended meeting OF
the board of directors. When asked as to
the election of s. NJ. Provost as a director,
Mr.. Cowen said:
There is no significance attached TO
the entrance OF Mr.. Provost into

is well known, the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. OF which Mr.. Provost Is third
vice president, has recently become In
terested In the Baltimore and Of;o,

the board. He will represent that interest.
1t does not mean that the Pennsylvania
controls the Baltimore and Ohio, nor does
it indicate any change IN policy. The
Baltimore and Ohio will continue the same
policy as heretofore under the present
management"
opinion here is that one, and probably
more representatives of the new in
terests will go into the Baltimore and
Ohio board and that the Baltimore
and Ohio will practically, II not actu-
ally, be dominated -hy the Pennsylvania
Vanderbilt combination. BY this move the
Pennsylvania and the New York Central,
which is Vanderbilt property, are in
position to prevent cutting Of rates.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-The upward move
progress today, and was participated in &c
a more general extent by the railway lis;
than has been the Gaze at any time this
week. The industrial quarter for the most
part, II is true, scored further advances,
but profit realizing was also apparent
there, and the heaviest dealings took place
in the railway quarter OF the market. The
conspicuous features there, in respect 10
strength and activity, were Atchison pre-
ferred, Missouri Pacific. Southern Pacific,
Southern Railway preferred, and Baltimore
and Ohio. The granger shares. with Burl-
ington and Quincy the conspicuous feat
ure. also received more favorable atten-
ton than for a number of days.
Little that was really new attended the
revival of interest in the railway list. The
particular strength of Southern Railway
preferred was perhaps to be accounted for
by the approach OF the period when the
April dividend will be acted upon, and
dividend expectations also attended the
rise in Missouri Pacific. other conspicu-
GUS movements of the market were an ex-
ceedinely further sharp rise in Tennessee

view of the previous protracted and pro-
nounced advance. In Third Avenue Hqui-
dation was continued and the stock de-
clined TO the lowest figures yet reached, al
though at the decline it appeared TO re-
ceive rather better support than II has
heretofore enjoyed.
The course of prices and the general
characteristics of the market were Alto
gether in line with the trading OF the
earlier part of the week. The days sit
uation of itself comprised nothing new OF
importance. London again dealt very mod
erately in the local market, and the opera
lions and quotations furnished from that
point were ignored in local speculative cal
culations. The money market was again
extremely easy, with lenders showing an
increasing disposition TO place their funds
on time. and they were also less exacting
in their requirements rs to the quality OF

ers Sterling exchange was steady, but the
tendency of that market was not SO pro-
nounced as TO indicate that expectations of
gold were at all imminent.

POTOMAC OFFICERS HOPEFUL
Efforts TO Have the Company's Char
ter Amcndea Continued.

The officers OF the Potomac Insurance
Company are much disappointed over their
failure thus far to secure an amendment
Of their charter from Congress granting
them the specific right to do bonding
business, II is understood that they regard
their non-success asrthe direct result CT
opposition from Commissioner Wight.
They have not yet given up their effort,
however, and the hope is expressed that
before the adjournment OF Congress the Dill
amending the charter will be passed.
S. The Potomac Company, under its new
management and with its enlarged scope.
has believed that the bonding business
would be a most desirable adjunct to the
other forms of insurance business now
done by IT. The old charter of the company
is broad one, and It is thoughb by many
of the officers that bonding business
might be done under 1t without any specific
provision TO that effect. Other officers
were doubtful, however. and to avoid any
possibility OF mistake bill was introduced
in Congress.
The Commissioners, in their report on
the bill, gave Ii their endorsement. but
added a paragraph 10 the effect that In
their opinion at would be desirable that
the capital of the company be increased TO
81 600, 600. in order that 1t might come
under the provisions for bonding COM
panies in the law of 1890.
The statement was made yesterday TO
reporte. by a director of the company that
Mr.. Wight supplemented this report by a
personal expression %: opinion against the
bill TO members OF the District Committees.
The present law regarding bonding COM
psnles in the District allows foreign con-
Germs Of small capital TO do business
through egents here, but. according TO this
opinion OF the District Commissioners, ii
prevents local companies Of the same caai-
tai from entering the field.
The District Committees, in their hear
ings on the bill few days ago, took the
view Of the Commissioners.
The Potomac Company is now arranging
for a rehearing.
