Disappointing the Traders Who
Sold Out on Monday Expect
ing a Break.
The Undertone Stronger Than
Ever, May Selling Easily
from 921ac to 94o.
War News and Zero Weather Over
Winter Wheat, with Little
Snow Covering.

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Feb.
e.-Wheat prices flrmed up by gradual
fractional gains this morning, and by IL
o'clock May had sold to $3.50 gain or
a cent from yesterdays close. Hesitation
was the tendency. The war Is on and the
first big fight reported. Meanwhile nu-
nerous small holders have sold out their
wheat and the market Is free from big
load. During the early trading a few of
those sellers of Saturday and yesterday
could be seen coming back in, and the buy
ing of little lots was the feature. The
theory that actual fighting would mark
the elimination Of the bull market was not
so popular this morning. Against all the
selling and all the hammering Chicago May
had closed yesterday at sac or exactly the
same figure as on Saturday Evidently
the expected break that was to let the
multitude Of holders in again 6 or cents
lower, after they had liquidated around
93@931Ac. was a far-off proposition. New
people who had not touched wheat to date
were coming In and taking hold, and those
who had carried wheat up from far down
the scale and who let go for profit were
now inclined to question the wisdom Of
their course, and to doubt whether q
break to let them in again was to be ex-
pected after ALL Some Of them. when
Minneapolis May reached 93c. replaced
their lines but majority remained out
still waiting for decline.
Liverpool closed sd off. altho the war
news was TIP real thing, and consols were
off to news!ow point. Paris was a little
Hrmer for wheat.
Minneapolis elevator stocks show de-
crease Of 900 bu so far on the week. Re
ceipts here were 260 cars against 206 last
year Duluth had So against 1853, and Chi
cago a. against 1872. Kansas City received
254, 900 bu against 100000, and st. Louis
1900 bu against Al, 600.
The weekly government snow map
shows the northwest corner Of Kansas and
part of Missouri covered, but an immense
area Of winter wheat territory remains
bare Of snow. Meanwhile temperatures
are low. as low as ~ below zero at VAL
entine, Neb., and conditions on the whole
are at present anything but favorable for
the growing winter wheat crop.
Primary receipts GAS, 900 bu against $685.
600; Shipments $4,000 against 100000.
The worlds visible supply Of breadstuffs
for Feb. /, is figured by Bradstreets as
equal to ITO, 100000 bu, against 174,OO0,000

The increase in the worlds visible for
the week, according to Bradstreets', IS
$4,000 900 bu.

Feet MARKET BUT LITTLE.
Support at the Opening Alarms the
Shorts Advances of a Point Gen
eral in First Hour After Realizing
Sales, Upward Movement Follows
Dulhess-Details of the Days Pro-
ceedings.

New York, Feb. 9.-The sharp depres-
sioniin foreign markets on account of the
outbreak of hostilities between Russia and
Japan had little effect on the opening deal
ings to-day in the stock market here.
Gains and losses We're very evenly divided
and some of the important international
stocks were conspicuous among the gains.
Southern Pacific rose n, United States
Stees preferred rs and Sugar and Brooklyn
transit about a point. The greatest losses
were In Wabash preferred which fell Is
and Louisville & Nashville r.. The mar
ket was active and varied.
The support accorded the market in the
opening dealings alarmed the short inter
est and they bought heavily Of all the
leaders causing prices to rise abruptly. Be-
fore the expiration Of the first hour adj
vances of a point Or more had been made
quite generally thruout.
The PENNSYLVANIA group the Pac1f1cs,
st. Paul. North Western, Amalgamated,
United States Steel preferred and the trao-
! lions rose from 1 to 1A. Realty preferred
gained and Westinghouse Electric 5. Re-
allzing sales forced prices slightly at II
o'clock and the market became dull.
Prices did not continue to advance but
reactions were resisted and some stocks
came late into the upward movement.
Some Of the Southwesterns, Southern
Railway preferred, General Electric and a
few minor specialties gained 1 to 2. Brook
1yn Transit rose 3 in all and Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis 3. Texas &
Pacific lost 1 and Colorado & Southern
second preferred 2.
Bonds were steady.
The market crept up slowly, St. Paul,
Atchison, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific,
Pennsylvania, Amalgamated, United
States Steel and Brooklyn Transit selling
Slightly higher than this morning. In
general prices ruled at about the highest
but the inquiry was small. Ice preferred
moved up 21s while Virginia Carolina
chemical preferred dropped 6.
Purchases were resumed and the favored
stocks responded by touching higher
level. Advances in the more active stocks
| averaged 11sc, and reached twice that IN
| Continental Tobacco preferred. LaclSa-
wanna rose A. The market gave way later
when the room traders took profits. United
States Steel preferred was then marked ur
~ and steadied the market.
There was further large absorption Of
United States Steel preferred in the late
dealings which lifted it 2B over last night
The common rose point This held the
general market firm but awakened no ami
nation. United States Rubber preferred
gained 8, and Anaconda 81, while st. 10.
seph & Grand Island first preferred fell 8
Prices hardened to the best in sympathy
with the movement in United States Stee
preferred. st. Paul and Norfolk & Yves
tern extended their gains to 2 points o.
over. The closing was quite active anC
strong.
