WHEAT OPENS WEAK
BUT CLOSE IS FIRM
Corn and Oats Are Also
Strong and Very
BulliSh.

Wheat was a little weak at the open
Ing yesterday on lower cables and the
lack of warlfke news from the far East.
When shorts tried to cover their early
sales they found little wheat for sale.
May was run up 11zc from the low point
Minneapolis millers are bullish and are
sympathy with wheat. However. there was
a quick recovery, and the closing quota
tiOns were &c above Saturdays Oats
were the strong grain of the market The
cash article was 19c higher.
On better news from the East stocks
opened strong. The tone of the London
trading was much improved and aided
our markets materially. United States
Steel preferred was weak on account of
the withdrawal of Rockefeller from the
directorate. Atchison was the strongest
issue on the list
What the Brokers' Say.
NJ. Doran & Co.'S Chicago grain letter:
Wheat-Wheat yielded the first hour to
the selling by the local crowd on the
weakness in Liverpool cables, the large
words shipments and lack of anything
warlilNe in the, Eastern situation. Shorts
found early sales difficult to replace and
ran the price of May up 11ac from the
low point. Millers are bullish and are
buying wheat freely. California advices
suggest disaster for the whole state south
of San Jose, only One-haf inch rain haV-
ing fallen since April 16 The May was
congested and difficult to trade in, while
activity in July Increased.
COrn-Corn started easier with wheat
and with the crowd playing for a break.
The depression, however, was of short
duration. When the turn came there was
little for sale and the price was quickly
advanced Y C over the previous close The
news relative to the future supply was
convfncingly bullish. The movement in
Nebraska is falling off, and the demand
from feeders in Iowa Is good. Cash corn
was unchanged and cable bids advanced
we cannot see any reason to expect lower
value with these facts I'm view and strong
Oats-Oats were tight as a drumhead,
barring the easinesS at opening. There
were few for sale and they We're badly
wanted. Cash oats is 1ac higher and re-
celpts are only moderate There is not a
weak feature in the situation.
OConnOr & Van Bergen's stock letter
says:
The market opened steady in response
TO the better tone of the London market
but changes In prices were unimportant,
and there was no outside interest to speak
of. United States Steel preferred was sold
on the announcement that j. d. ROckefel-
Ter had resigned from the directorate of
the company, and Brooklyn was weak
selling down to 454c on rumors of q con-
templated bond issue. Atchison was the
strongest feature among the railroad
stocks, and the buying that has been so
pronounced during the past few days was
In evidence again. London traded very
lightly here, but bought about 10 600
shares on balance. Amalgamated Copper
advanced sharply in the afternoon on a
report that the company had won a VIC
tory over the HeinZe people In the Boston
GS Montana suit. There was q little short
prices generally advanced fractionalIy.
The closing was quiet but steady, and
outside or Copper or one or two other
stocks price changes are unimportant.

TREATY WITH HAYTI
ABRIDGES USUAL RIGHTS
FiVe-Year Limit Is Placed on Period Of
Naturalization.

WASHINGTON, d. G., Feb. 1.-The
senate today ratified the naturalization
treaty between the United State and
HaytI. Six votes were cast in opposi-
tion. The treaty abridges instead OF
extending naturalization rights. 1t pro-
vides that a Haytien shall not be con-
sidered a citizen of this country after
an absence of five years. Senator Mel

to the established police OF the United
States.

NEW YORK, Feb. ALI of the inter
est in today's stock market centered In
a handful of active issues which were
moved by considerations special to them
selves and having no bearing on general
financial or business conditions. The body
of the market was inert and HStleSs
Dealings were insignificant and changes
were almost imperceptible. The primary
cause of the stagnation was undoubtedly
the realization, Sharpened by the general
review of last weeks events in the mar
ket, that the January boom had proved
abortive and that speculative interest had
baked at the leadership seeking to at
tract it into the purchase Of stocks. The
condition of banking accounts and the
expectation Of a check to the accumula-
ton Of reserves In New York is accepted
as warming that the period for slim
ulating activity by speculative operations
had about passed
loan account of the banks is in itself
calculated to exercise an intimidating
effect on speculative operators in stocks.
The sources of all this borrowing continue
to cause puzzled conjecture. The trans
fer OF loans from trust companies to
banks, borrowing on sterling collateral
which should be an incident of placing
loans In Europe, and the holding of bond
issues awaiting a market, are all offered
as part explanation, but all together
seem insufficient to appease the sense of
doubt caused by the figures. 1t is sug-
gested that there must be large float
Ing Indebtedness carried by railroad and
other corporations awaiting a favorable
opportunity in the securities market to
be changed to funded form.
MlsgIVIna as to Cotton.
The continued wildness of the cotton
speculation is subject Of real misgiving.
and the higher cotton prices, the more
apprehension is felt that there may be
some sort of collapse which might have
collateral effects outside of that market.
Foreign influences were favorable to
higher prices today and London bought
early. The selling of United States Steel
preferred weakened the markets. This
stock came to pause after the announce
ment that John d. Rockefeller had re-
signed from the directorate. The spec
uIators in the stock have made much of
a theory that the control of the corpora
tfon had passed to the Rockefeller inter
est during its troubled vicissitudes and

SAILORS TROUSERS.
The reason They Are Bassy and
Wide F13nl the Knees Down.

The Reason They Are BugEy and
Wide From the Knees Down.
A sailors trousers often give rise to
a great deal of ridicule by reason Of
their bagsiness and Wilderness from the
knees down. 80 one troubles to think
that they may have been made in that
way for SOM special purpose or other.
Jack tars naturally have so much to do
with water that it is almost to be Won
dered that for working purposes they
are not supplied With knee breeches, in
which they would be able to paddle
about without danger of damaging the
leg portion OF their neither garments.
AS this innovation has not taken place,
the trousers are made very baggy so
that they can be easily turned up well
out of the water when work in the wa
ter has to be done. Were they provid-
ed with trousers of the same width all
the way down the leg they would find
1t difficult to turn them up far enough
without at the same time impeding
thei actions owing to the compression
that would be caused.-London Stand
