May PRODUCTS unchanged to PIC lower.
Wheat was dull and fairly firm at the
opening, but later the market eased OF,
the heavy liquidation In corn being the
principal factor in causing the decline, al
though the expectations Of bearish sta
ustics on Monday Influenced traders to

shade higher at nae to UAd71sc, and
under the influence OF a cold wave scare
sales were made at Tzc. but with nothing

the price gradually declined along with
the break In corn. The close was at the

ceipts In the northwest were smaller than

49, 900 bu.. against $1,000 a year ago. There
was an Improvement in the export demand

reported receipts OF 29S cars, which, with
local receipts OF IS cars, one Of contract
points Of 34 cars. against 23 last week
and 3S2 a year ago.
Trading in corn was extremely heavy.
and longs took advantage of an opportunity
to dispose of heavy lines, which resulted
in a break in the price, but a good demand
from commission houses prevented any
serious decline. The prospects of cold
weather throughout the corn belt, which
would be favorable for the movement and
the grading. was the chief factor in bring
ing out the selling orders, although the
cash demand was not as urgent as Of late.
After selling between 1910 and 47Ssc. May
closed &c lower at 47c. Local receipts were
1872 cars, none of which were OF contract
grade.
Oats were easy in sympathy with corn,
and the lack of any show Of trading tended
to add to the depression. There was scat
tered liquidation by local holders and but
little demand. The close was easy and ssc
lower for May at 351zc, after ranging be-
tween 35hc and S5sc. Local receipts were

Provisions were active and unsettled, but
the volume of trade was only moderate.
Most OF the demand came from commits
sion houses on outside orders. while the
selling was largely by local traders. Lower

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
Banks showing of Decrease in Cash
Causes Eager Buying.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2S.-Stocks were sold
with great freedom during. the first hours
OF tOday's short session and were rebought
with eagerness after the appearance Of the
bank statement. The uncovered bear inter-
their efforts 70 get stocks were feit even
during the selling of the first hour. Com
mission houses also reported some buying
attracted by the considerable decline OF the
week. New York Central suffered a drive,
prompted by the reports of the extensive
landslides along its tracks. Pennsylvania
on the other hand. offered good resistance.
Traders are inclined to shift holdings from
New York Central to Pennsylvania at the
same price on the higher dividend report.
Pennsylvania helped the stock and the
rumors Of possible control of Wabash con-
tinue to have some speculative influence.
The traders followed the. st. Pau move
ment both downward and upward in the
belief that they were in strong financial
company. Amalgamated also, resisted the
decline and made a good rally. The de-
crease in cash In the banks, showing "a
$4,000, compared with preliminary est-
tbemseiyes Of from 10000 to- over $500
900, caused the rally. IL Is believed that
the late movement of some large cash con-
signments lessened their enect on the
weeks averages, which would throw their
effect over to next weeks statement. Inc
merely nominal loan decrease was the
greatest urprise OF the statement and finds
no plausible explanation. The subtreasury
had a credit balance of over $5OO,cO at the
clearing house this morning, rejecting the
continued decline of funds to that institu-
ton. The large customs payments are eX-
planned by the Sl4,O2O,562 value OF merchan-
disc imported for the week at New York,
an Increase OF 5000, O91 over last week and
Of $4,000 more over the correspondent
period of last year. The stock market
closed somewhat unsettled.
Returns of net earnings for January are
still too few for conclusive udgment out
those which have been issued fail to con-
firm the hopes that the rise in freight rates
In January would effeCtually relieve the en-
croachments on net earnings ~ reason OF
larger operating expenses which were evil
dent in recent months.
The movement of prices in the bond mar
ket has been more irregular than of stocks,
but the activity in that department COM
pared with last year is relatively much
less than that in stocks. United states Is,
coupon, advanced Il per cent as compared
with the closing call OF last week.
The following are the closing prices on
the New York Stock exchange:

sHEBP-There has been a liberal run OF
sheep here all this week, as will be seen
from the table given above. For the month
receipts have been the heaviest on record
and for the year to date there Is an In.
crease over the same period Of last year
amounting to over $1,000 head.
The demand has been I'm good shape dur
ing the week under review, but still pack
ers wanted to buy their supplies a little
lower. Strictly choice grades OF sheep were
probably not over weak to a dime lower,
while the habitat kinds are 15a25c lower.
Lambs have also suffered fully as much as
sheep.
The demand for feeders has been OF lib
eral proportions and owing to the decline
on the half-fat cornfeds a good many Of
that class of sheep and lambs sold for feed.

CATTLE-As is generally the case on a
the Yards to make a n market. For the
week, however, receipts have been very
heavy, as will be seen from the table above,
has been the largest on record for the
second month OF the year. The gain over
the same month of last year amounts to
about 14,OOO head. For the year to date
the increase over the same period OF last
year amounts to over 1000 head.
The beef steer market has been in very
satisfactory condition all this week. The
first half prices hrmed up a little, but
toward the close buyers shaved of about
with prices in the same notches they were
at the close of last week. The greatest
demand has been for the medium and handy
weight cattle. Heavy weights have been
rather slow sale as a rule, though a little
bunch of strictly prime cattle that had
Weighed 1854 pounds. The bulk Of the
cattle now coming forward sell from 500
TO A.5O, while good to choice sell from
A0 TO $500 ,end fancy grades can be
The COW market has been rather uneven
this week. The best grades have sold
higher than the close of last week. By that
Is meant such kinds as sell from $40 to
800. The cutters and fair to good kinds
of beef cows, such as sell from S.S to
50. 80, have sold unevenly and may be quoted
all the way from nearly steady to 15c or 25c
that much and toward the close of the
week we're hard to sell at any price, as
some Of the packers were not buying them
at all and others only in limited numbers.
Gamers are selling largely from $50 down.
The bull market has shown some little i'm
provement this week and the better grades
are l5d25 higher. A choice bull will now
bring $3.75, or even a little more than that,
but the bulk of them sell from 1925 to $3.50.
Bologna grades are also a little stronger
for the week. Veal calves have held just
about steady, choice grades selling largely
from $500 to S6.25.
The stocker and feeder market has been
active and stro lg all the week on desirable
grades. As compared with the close Of
last week, It is safe 20 quote the market
a20c higher. The kinds have
not shown much Improvement. Fair to
good cattle are selling from $3.50 10 S3.S5
and good to choice from S3.S5 to $3.50. The

H~OGS-There was a light run of hogs
here today and the prices paid were gen.
orally a shade better than yesterday, sales
being made all the way from steady to sc
higher. IL was rather an up and down
market. however, being high in the middle
and low at both ends. Packers did not take
hold very freely, as they did not want the
hogs bad enough to pay the prices asked.
Trading as a result was slow from
start TO finish, as the end of the
market was very slow and weak.
The bulk Of the medium weight hogs sold
from S65 TO $3.50 and the good weight
hogs from $50 10 $3.50, while prime heavies
sold as high as S7.OS. The light stun in
particular was hard TO dispose OF and sold
IRON S6.5 down.
For the week the receipts OF hogs have
only been fair, as there is a decrease both
as compared with last week and with the
same week OF last year. For the month
there has also been a decrease as COM
pared with the same month OF February.
For the year TO date there is a decrease OF
about 1900 head.
The market for the week has huctuated
back and forth to some extent, but the
general tendency has been downward. AS
compared with the close OF last week the
market Is 5dlOc lower. Representative
sales.
