NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-Stocks were
sold with great freedom during the first
hour Of today's short session and re-
bought with eagerness after the ap-
pearance of the bank statement. The
uncovered bear interest was plainly a
factor in the buying and it's efforts to
get stocks were felt even during the
selling of the first hour. Commission
houses also reported some buying at
tracted by the considerable decline of
the week New York Central suffered
a drive, prompted by the reports of ex-
tensiVe landSlfdeS along its tracks.
pennsylvania, on the other hand, offer
ed good resistance. Traders are in
clined to shift holdings from New York
Central to Pennsylvania at the same
price level on the ground of the higher
dividend rate. The Pennsylvania an
nual report also helps the stock and
the rumors Of possible control of Wa
bash continue to have some speculative
influence. The traders followed the ST.
Paul movement both downwards and
upwards in the belief that they were
In strong financial company. Anal
gamated also resisted the decline and
made good rally.
What Caused the Rally.
The decrease in cash on the bank
showing Of $4.843, 900, compared with
preliminary estimates DaSeQ on state
ments of the banks themselves from
$7.6OO,000 to over $4,000 caused the
rally 1t is believed that the late
movement Of some of the large cash
consignments lessened their effect on
the weeks average, which would throw
their effect over to next weeks state
ment. The merely nominal loan de-
crease was the greatest surprise of
the statement and finds no plausible
explanation. The subtreasury had a
credit balance of over half million
a t the clearing house this morning, re-
fleeing the continued decline of funds
to that institution. The large GUS
toms payments are explained by the
S14,02O,562 value of merchandise inn
ported for the week at New York, an
increase of S3,075, 091 over last week
and of threequarters of a million
more over the corresponding period of
last year. The stock market closed
somewhat unsettled.
The movement of prices in the bond
market has been more Irregular than
stocks, but the activity in that depart
ment, compared with last year, is rel
atively much less than that In stocks.

and Fairly Firm.

O11lCAGO, FeD. 28.-The grain pits
were influenced largely by the action
OF corn today, and with the decline In
that commodity the markets ruled
easier, May wheat closing 3-8c lower,
May corn 1-4c lower, and oats off 3-Sc
PROVISIONS closed steady, with the Nav
products unchanged to 1-2c lower
Wheat was dull and fairly firm at
the opening. but later the market
eased on, the heavy Hquidations in
corn being the principal factor in caus-
ing the decline, although the expecta,
tlons or bearish statistics on Monday
influenced traders to some extent and
aided In the downward tendency May
opened unchanged to a shade higher.
at ~ 3-4c to II 3-4Q77 Use, and un-
der the influence of a cold wave scare
the market became a little firmer. and
sales were made at II 7-Sc, but with
nothing else of Importance in the line
or bull news, the price gradually de-
cIined along with the break in corn
Inc close was at the low point, at
n 3-8c. loss of 3-8c. The receipts in
the Northwest were smaller than
year ago. and the primary receipts
were less than last year, being esti-
mated at $4,000 blu, against $4,000 blu
year ago. There was an improve
ment in the export demand, and clear
ances OF wheat and -four were equal

reported receipts of 295 cars, which.
with local receipts of 10 cars, of con-
tract grade, made total receipts for
the three points of 314 cars, against 233
cars last week. and 3S2 cars year
ago.
Active Trading in Corn.
Trading in corn was extremely ac-
tive. and local longs took advantage Of
the opportunity and disposed of heavy
lob
price, but good demand from COM
mission houses prevented any serious
decilne. The prospects of cold weather
throughout the corn belt, which would
be favorable for the movement, and
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 46 Use and
A 5-Sc, May closed lac lower, at 47c.
Local receipts were 339 cars, none Of
which were Of contract grade
oats were easy, in sympathy with
corn, and the lack of any show of trad
ing tended to add to the depression
There was scattered liquidation by 10
cal holders, and but little demand. The
close was easy and 3-8c lower for May.
at 80 1-2c, after ranging between
So Lac and 35 7-8c. Local receipts
were 100 cars.
Provisions were active and unsettled
but the volume of trade was only
moderate. Most of the demand came
from commission houses on outside or
ders. while the selling was largely by
local traders. Lower prices for hogs
at the yards was a weakening infiu
ence. The close was steady, with May
pork and lard unchanged, at SIS and
1852 IL, while ribs were 1-2c lower,
