CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-wheat opened higher

strong corn market and higher cables. Liv-
erpool was up esd. Paris up 1-4c: a late
London cable said that cash wheat closed
Sd higher. Primary receipts we're 10000
bushels larger than last year.
Corn prices are up S-4c and the bull in
fiuence has been very large foreign cash
purchases. Business from here direct has
been at least 800. 900 bushels. and 1t is
probably the fact that Baltimore and
Philadelphia, in the past tw" days. have
bought here and in the West not less than
a million bushels of corn fer export. The
market has had additional incentive from
the bull crowd, which has been working
hard for weeks. and which now has velvet
to play on. Liverpool was 1-sI14d higher.
Oats were up 3-sd12c, sympathizing
with the corn advance.
Although the trade in provisions was OF
a holiday character, a small decline early

in the voting at the instance OF large New
York interests. Mr.. Letter received several
thousand votes. but they were evidently
the scattering ballots and not those OF

made is that Mr. Letter was defeated on
account Of his fight in the courts with the

nor regarding the meeting is that Mr..

Potomac Telephone stock showed some
activity during the week. The decision of
the District Supreme Court that the COM
pany cannot be compelled to reduce Its
charges in accordance with the law passed
by Congress last year, was the cause of
somewhat heavy investment and specula-
tive buying. The price advanced immedi-
ately several points. but has lost some of
its gain since that time.

The result OF the business In the New
York stock market during the past week
mas been an advance in prices in some
STOCKS and decline in some, the average
net movements having been very little.
Briefly told, the early part Of the week
vas buoyant. and prices ad -anced rapidly
all over the list, with a gradual broaden
ing OF speculation from restricted profes-
sional limits TO fair participation by the
public. During the last three days there
was return OF the dullness and slowly
sagging prices OF January, due to realizing
by the new people and renewal o, the
bear attacks. The public, which hid not
been In the market before since the De-
cember break, was easily frightened
away, and up to yesterday the pools had
not seen fit to advance prices sufficiently
at any time TO restore confidence. 1t
should be pointed out. however that the
advance lasted more than a week and car
ried prices TO level to 10 points higher
than they had been at any time before
since the panic" and that far from be-
ing serious in extent, the declines that
have occurred in the past three days have
only taken the top OF the advance. The
present market is a bull market taking a

this the price has been tumbling ever since.
At the present tine it is impossible to hear
anything except bear gossip regarding the
stock Next week il is said par will be
