FAIR STRENGTH in GRAIN
HIGHER PRICES FOR ALL CEREALS
PREVAIL AT THE CLOSE.
Corn Dominates the Situation and
Closes with a Gain Of 1-2c-PrO-
visions Also show Advances.

CHICAGO, Feb 26-The strength in corn
aided the other grains to-day and higher
prices prevailed, May wheat closing a shade
higher, corn asd1sc and oats hQAc. Pro-
visions were strong and closed unchanged
to 12iac higher.
Wheat ruled dull throughout the day. but
the market showed considerable strength,
principally on the advance in the price of
corn. Northwestern and other markets
were firm and arrivals in the Northwest
much smaller than a year ago. The open
ing was steady on cables and May was a
shade lower to a shade higher. at 77lsQ77lc.
The good early demand for corn started
shorts to cover and the market became
strong, May selling up to 77%. Foreign
news was still bearish and after the most
nervous shorts had covered. and with no
material support from the outside, prices
weakened and the close was about steady,
May a shade higher at TIC. Clearances of
wheat and flour were equal to 10000 blu.
Primary receipts were 100000 blu. against
$4,000 blu a year ago. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported receipts of 3o2 cars, which,
with local receipts of fifteen cars, none of
contract grade, made a total of 3l7 cars.
against III last week and $40 year ago.
Higher cables caused strength in the corn
pit at the opening and good buying on the
light receipts and on predictions Of unset
tied weather added to the early advance,
the market ruling strong throughout the
day. A large volume of business was trans
acted. but the greater part of il was for To-
cal account, provision interests being heavy
buyers of May while selling July. There
was a fair cash and export demand which
helped prices The close was strong, with
May 3sGJ15c higher. at 461sc, after selling be-
tween 46lsc and 46ssc The continued scare
ity of contract grade stuff was a strength
ening influence. Out of 256 cars received
none was UP to grade.
Oats were helped by the strength in corn
and the small receipts, but the volume of
trading was light and confined mainly to To-
calls Sentiment was bullish and the close
was strong at fair advance, May being
lkQHc higher, at 359sM35%4c, after ranging
between 351ac and S534qS57sc. Receipts were
ninety-six cars.
Provisions We're active and strong. small
er receipts of hogs and an early advance of
l0c TO 15c at the yards being responsible for
the opening strength. There good de-
mand from packers and shorts covered
freely, which, with moderate offerings,
aided the advance The close was strong

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-The market at the
opening was extremely narrow. and trans
actions were light, the total business up to
o'clock amounting to only 10000 shares
This somewhat of a disappointment
TO the bulls, as 1t was believed that the
announcement i'm the morning papers that
the Rock Island had acquired the ST.
Louis & San Francisco would stimulate
trading to marked degree. While moth
ing official was given out confirming this
story. II is generally believed. Frisco is
sues sold off somewhat, the common re-
ceding points and then advancing 3. Rock
Island issues, while not active. remained
strong. Considerable interest was manifest
ed in the Aldrich measure before the Sem
ate. The Atci1ison statement for January
shows an increase in gross earnings OF half
a million dollars; operating expenses, how
ever. were so heavy that nearly all o. this
amount was lost. leaving only about $780,
coo gain in net earnings. London traded in
about 10000 shares and sold on balance.

16.-Catte-Receipts. $50; shipments. 200. For
the week thus far the receipts OF cattle show
little improvement the same time last week,
and little change compared with the correspond
ing time year ago. The receipts to-day not
quite large a week ago, but about the
same year ago. The consignments included
more good steers than for several days. and
therefore the quality in general of a little
higher average. The market opened with prac-
tical1y all buyers I'm the field. but the early bids
were Inclined to weakness and commonly con-
sidered loo lower than yesterday. Statesmen were
reluctant In transferring their consignments at
prices offered. and there were not many trans
actions recorded at the start. Later. however.
practically all buyers were in the market, and
the trading became reasonably active. In a
general way sales reported nearly steady
compared with yesterday. but IL any difference
the tendency was weaker and occasionally II
was believed that prices right around
10c lower when quality and weight were con-
sidered. 1t appears that local packers were the
principal buyers for the best grades to-day. while
shippers were taking grades that sell at a less
price. The market for female butcher cattle was
reported steady in all cases. Quotations:

MUCH ACTIVITY is DEVELOPING

Prices of Fruits and Vegetables Are
Lower-POultry Continues Very
High-Grain Markets Are Light.

The local markets present a good deal of
activity, especially on Commission row,
where three or four days OF mild weather
have permitted the shipment of perishable
freight. Prices have been reduced on nearly
every line of goods handled. Irish potatoes
would be much lower. says one of the deal
ers. could cars be commanded to make ship
ments. There is a probability that the
country holders have stocks which will
never get to market simply because they
cannot get transportation. There is enough
coming forward, however. to supply the de-
mand Apples are weak and even at the re-
duced prices which went into effect Monday
are not moving to the extent desired by
dealers. Oranges are in good supply and
selling well at steady prices, but lemons
are easier. Other fruits and vegetables are
unchanged. Receipts of Strawberries from
the South have been curtailed by the cold
weather which prevailed in Southern States
last week, and some other products OF
Southern growth are less plentiful on that
account, but 1t has not affected prices.
Butter, IL choice, is In good request and
firmer. Fresh eggs have not been coming in
so freely, but prices are easy and offerings
of fresh stocks are quite free at quotations.
Poultry pursues the even tenor of its way,
being the highest in the history of the In
dianapolis market but the supply is SO short
ness. Flour is steady, the wheat situation
being, in the main, unchanged, and spring
patents hold firm. The grocery market is
very active. Lion coffee advanced another
quarter cent and is now quoted the same

settled, but prices In this market are un-
