GRAINS ARE ACTIVE
AND VERY NERVOUS
-
Wheat Makes Fair Advance in
an ErratiC and Restless
Market.

The St. Paul stock and grain commits
sion men received the following letters
yesterday relative to the markets:
M Doran q Co.'S Chicago grain letter
says:
Wheat-The domestic news was strong
from all quarters. Demand for best quail
tiles was good. Low grades We're higher
at Minneapolis and good No. 8 sold at sc
under May, the best relative price so far.
Seaboard reported 20 loads taken for ex-
port. st. Louis and Kansas City ship
ments We're nearly 100000 bu in excess OF
receipts, while the total primary receipts
We're about so, 900 less than the shipments
The Southwest bought the July early on
the break, letting it go again on bulge.
Liverpool closed practically unchanged
COrn-The course of the corn market
was very similar to that of wheat. Trade
was small and not of significant char
acter The movement from first hands is
light and shipments from primary points
exceeded arrivals by $4,000 blu. The low
grades in the local market were strong
again, advancing 1@2c, while better quail
tiles We're strong. but not quotably higher.
Oats-Oats appeared to be under pres
sure moderately at the start, but re-
covered along with wheat and corn clos
ing strong. Stocks in dealers hands in
Iowa. according to State Grain Dealers
association, is 5000 900 bu less than year
ago The demand for shipment is fair and
the local cash market is strong.
0Connor & Van BergenSs stock letters
G. Minzesheimer & Co-The market
ruled dull and inactive and the little
business done was almost entirely profess
sional. After opening fractionally lower
prices Steadied and advanced a little on
shorts covering. London did practically
nothing and reports from abroad are to the
effect that people on the other side prefer
TO await further developments. The clos
ing was quiet. with prices fractionally
higher than Wednesday night.
Van Emberg & Atterbury-In the alb
sence of buying by important interests
the room bears We're able to hold down
some of the leading railroad stocks OH
their report of decreased earnings and
borrowing necessities, but generally the
market showed some strength on reports
of heavy steel rail orders and disposition
to eSent attacks of a not over popular
pear element. However, the business has
been almost too small for remarks.
j. c. Geraghty & Co.'s correspondents
say of stocks:
Howard Lapsley & Co.-The bulls had
the best end of the stick all day and pro-
pose to keep it. There was marked
strength in copper and Brooklyn Rapid
transit. The closing was strong and at
the best.
Logan and Bryan-There is not much
to say of such a market Prices averaged
a little better on short covering and very
little selling pressure. The public is in
different. The bank statement on Sat-
urday Is not expected to be much either
way. London was moderate buyer. New
York reported traders, as a rule, bearish.
Dick BroS.-The market has been prac-
tically at a StandStill. Trading was lighter
than for some time and altogether profes
sional. Money continued easy, but there
were some fears of an unfavorable bank
statement Saturday

NEW YORK, Feb 11-Only three or
four stocks of the first Importance got as
much as a point away from last night S
level at any time today. This serves to
Illustrate the lifeleSsneSs of the trading
and the sluggishness of the stock market
The 1mminence of a holiday was in part
the cause Of this stagnation. The small
ness of the speculative nOsition now omen
was thus clearly indicated, the approach
or a holiday usually prompting spectators
70 close up their accounts. This would
pc especially true with the extra uncer-
talnt1eS of time Of war. The uncertain
wagering Of the market during the week
had discouraged speculative ventures en-
Crely and news of the day was practical
~ Ignored, whether of a favorable or an
unfaYorable character. The market again
offered sturdy resistance to the depress-
ing influence of the war situation abroad
making an effective rally from the open
ing declines. But there was no disposition
to follow the advance.
While the readiness of effective support
TO appear in face of any attack upon
values leaves no opportunity open for
proHtaDie operations on the short side,
there is an inclination to sell stocks on
advances which makes the long side
equally unattractive. The stock market
feeling towards railroad borrowings was
expressed today in the persistent selling
of New York Central, owing to the prev
alent rumors that the company was is
SUNG notes for means to continue its
betterment projects.
DenlaIs Count for Little.
The denials of the truth of these ru-
morS did not help the stock much, owing
to the recent experience with the Penn
sylvanla borrowings which were admitted
beforehand. The admission that orders
for some $4,000 tons of steel rails had
been placed on behalf of the Hartman
lines was accepted as a favorable factor
the more so as 1t was believed that the
schedule price was to be paid But the
stocks affected responded but slightly to
the news. The rise in Brooklyn Transit
was regarded as a continuation Of the
recent speculative campaign in that stock
and was of little effect on the general
market
The firmness of Amalgamated Copper
which was lifted over a point in the late
dealings, was nominally due to trade con-
diuons, and it is argued that me out
break of war will cut off the japanese
product from the market, thus appreciably
affecting supplies. Money was easy and
time money rates yielded slightlys Call
money also maintained its notable ease
canvass of the banks shows that the
movement Of currency is still in favor of
New York, in spite Of the expectation
that the turn in the tide was at hand
The market closed fairly steady near the
top, but the trading was almost stagnant
Bonds were dull but slightly irregular

by Justice Harlan, and 1t upheld the
decree of the circuit court for the dis
trict Of Minnesota in every particular.
Four of the justices dissented from
the five constituting the majority. The
division In the court was due to a diff
ference of opinion as to the right OF
federal control of state corporations.
The majority opinion proceeded on
the theory that congress has right
under the constitution to control in
terstate commerce, no matter by
whom conducted, while the minority,
or dissenting opinion, was based on
the theory that in the present case the
effort to regulate the ownership is not
traffic.

BIotted Out Whole Family.

Another family tragedy similar to
the Beseke case has occurred at Pan
kow, suburb of Berlin. Theodore
Brambach, commercial traveller,
took his wife and son to the circus on
Thursday evening. and after returning
home the family sat down to supper.
After his son and wife had gone to
bed Brambach turned on the gas, but

and his plan of death failed. In the
morning Brambach shot his son and
his wife and then himself, having pre-
viously sent servant to friend with
a letter explaining his act Brambach,

Every Precaution Taken to Prevent

A dispatch from Springfield, o., con-
tains the information that while Gov

town formerly occupied by the negro
resorts. Ten companies of the Ohio
national guard are on picket duty, and
