nipeg adyfces say that mills that were previously
heavy buyers for May delivery are now heavy
buyers for June and July delivery, at Fort VIII
liam. Exporters bidding &c more than week

Broomhall cables: .'rhe continued fear Of
complications arising from hostilities in the far
east. the great strength Of wheat cargoes and
the scarcity Of wheat on spot caused firm
opening. Profit taking later caused reaction.
good spot demand anu higher American prices
were responsible for an opening advance of
SD in corn. Later corn reflected the decline in
wheat and prices eased off.

New York, Feb. 16.-Opening prices in
stocks to-day varied only shade from
those Of last night and there was but a
handful of orders executed. Consolidated
Gas and General Electric rose about a
point.
Trifling declines were made in some Of
the grangers, but the weakness there was
overcome by bidding up of the local mu-
nicipal stocks. Ice preferred rose 2B, Cen
solidated Gas 2A Metropolitan Street Rail-
way Us, Metropolitan Securities ~ and
Brooklyn Transit and Manhattan l. The
general list was also benefited by the
strength of some of the more important
stocks, particularly Sugar. which advanced
rs, Minneapolis, st. Paul 6 Sault Ste.
Marie Ia, Louisville 13s, and New York
Central and Canadian Pacific 1. Business
was slightly larger in volume, but trad
ing slackened as the rise proceeded and
prices yielded. Manhattan and Sugar re-
acted a point. Alton preferred declined
IL.
The heaviness Of United States Steel
preferred in face of the recoveries else
where caused a bad impression and prices
were shaded on very light dealings. Loco
motive was an exception and rose III.
Amalgamated and Consolidated Gas re-
acted a point, and Railway Investment
lost ~. Bonds were steady at noon.
Some of the early strong specialties
scored further relapses from their best
prices and the railroad list eased off in
sympathy.
The market was without important
variation during the greater part Of the
afternoon.
Amalgamated Copper rallied to slightly
above last nights close Prominent stocks
were inert. Commercial cable, Hooking
Valley and National Railroad of Mexico
preferred rose to ~ and New York, Chi
cago & st. Louis 2%. Wooden preferred
lost and American Telephone g.
The taking of profits about the room
brought prices close to last nights level
The closing was heavy and very dull
