THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Corn Leads and Advances Slightly

CHICAGO. Feb. 15.-While there was
considerable trade in wheat today, the
range was very narrow, the feature being
large amount of May wheat for sale at
69 Is Commission houses were good buy
ers on all the weak spots. The local tall
ent are still bearishly inclined. Liverpool
was steady. closing 1-Sd higher for the
day Paris was 1-2h1c bushel higher.
Antwerp was Csc. higher. Primary re-
ceipts we're about $4,000 bushels less than
last year. Clearances were $3.50, 900 BUSH
els. Cash sales here were 115, 900 bushels.
The strength in wheat today was sympa-
thetic with corn. and but for that would
have sold lower.
Corn was the leader today. advancing
3-io, and holding most of it. May sold at
50 1-2 and closed AT IS 1-4d35 3-S. Small
country offerings and increased shipping
demand were the influences. Cash sales
today we're about 100000 bushels, and
clearances were over a million bushels.
On the advance there was some very
heavy local profit taking.
Oats advanced 1-ic. They closed IL 3-Sc
under corn. and at one time IL 12c. The
clearances were 49,, 900 bushels.
Provisions were easy early in the day
under pressure from local bears. but
turned up on buying, led by influential
packers. and closed strong at the advance.
After the liberal realizing by holders and
short selling of the past few days, this
market is in a strong position The cash
trade continues good. Hog receipts were
liberal with that market closing higher.

THE BOARD OF TRADE.
A Meeting Called 10 Consider til,
Grade Crossing bill.

A meeting of the Washington Board of
Trade will be held on Friday evening, Feb
ruary 20, for the consideration OF the Bal
timore and Ohio grade crossing bill now
before Congress. The bill has been sub
jected to much criticism from residents of
lexington and Northeast Washington The
Railway Committee of the Board of Trade
has taken up these complaints very fully
in a report which it will submit TO the full
board at the meeting.
The board will also take up the question
OF abolishing the ole city boundary along
Florida Avenue north. This matter of the
old boundary is considered 70 be OF ex-
IRENE Importance, for the reason that Con-
gress has up TO the present time refused to
share in the cost Of street extensions out
side of this line, and it is said that the
board will take positive and determined
stand for the entire abolition of any city
boundary except that of the District itself.
The board is expected also to take action
OF some kind demanding that the Govern
ment hereafter share in the cost of street
extensions.

TRACTION STOCK ACTIVE.
Talk In the street of an Increase In
the Dividend Rate.

There was slight advance in the price
of Capital Traction stock on the local ex-
change yesterday, which attracted some at
tention on account OF the recent dizziness
of the stock. Two hundred shares or more
were sold a. 81 SIS and 81 "a, and the
closing bid Was 81 5-S.
There was gossip on The exchange over
the possibility of an increased dividend on
the stock in April One heavy stakeholder
expressed the belief that the rate would be
increased 10 l per cent at The coming
meeting, and prominent broker, perhaps
as a joke, offered to buy the dividend Tor
so cents, an advance of cents on the
present rate. IT may be stated authorita-
lively that no decision has been reached as
yet regarding the rate for the present year.
A director of the company said yesterday:
"The earnings so far this year have
shown a good improvement over those OF
last year, but this is not surprising. in view
of the fact that the blizzard last year
caused an entire stoppage of business for
three days. There are yet six weeks before
the dividend, and no decision regarding 1t
will be made for some time yet. You may
say very positively that no increase Will be
made unless IL is earned and unless there
is a certainty that 1t can be continued"

Yesterdays stock market was dull for
the most part, with a period of weakness
in the afternoon which resulted In a
small net loss in nearly all securities.
The day was of little Importance. but IL
was disappointing for the reason that the
street generally had looked for an advance
IN anticipation OF the passage OF the Cur
rency bill by the Senate What will oc-
cur today marketwisc is matter of much
interest. but conservative people are not
willing 10 venture any very decided opin-
lon. The plan outlined by all the market
"sharps" was that there would be good
advance. discounting the passage Of the
bill, and then a sharp reaction on realiz-
ing by the insiders. The advance has not
come, and IL does not seem nearly SO GER
tain now that the decline will either. The
street is more optimistically inclined on
the general situation than Il has been for
some time past Some OF the most con-
sentative brokers are advising the pur-
chase Of good securities, the grangers the
Pacifcs. and others, on every recession
for much higher prices In the near future.
II should be noted that money Is still a
drug. loaning at and 1-2 per cent, and
that despite the talk Of IN early return of
