Omaha that weather prevailed last night
throughout Nebraska and that the growing crop
was unprotected by snow, and adviees from the
OF railroad traffic because of blizzard.
In addition the weather bureau predicted gen
eral cold tonight over the principal wheat
growing States. The market also derived
strength from advance at Liverpool said to be
caused by cold weather in France and England.
Profit taking sales constituted the chief selling,
there being only few sales for short account.
The market closed strong and close to the high
est point of the day. May wheat opened &c to
ssc higher at 1914 GTs15c, advanced to 7S%c and
closed q up at 7SSsc.
The cold weather had an effect on the corn
market opposite TO that exerted wheat and
the market weak all day. The drop in
temperature, it was claimed, will facilitate
the first half of the session. but later the
strength of wheat restricted offerings. The mar
ket closed easy. May opened unchanged to >1kc
higher at 1850 TO 4615c and sold of to AGA
461sc, where it closed, with net loss of Il q

feeling developed. May opened unchanged to a
shade higher at 39@39bc, sold between 500

BOSTON. Feb. 2.-There have been intirna-
tions that President Todd favored a dividend
not exceeding 81 per share on Quincy. but one
large stoekholder says that. in view OF the fact
that the company is sold ahead for three months
on the basis of % cents. the directors should se
riously consider the advisability of having at
least 50 at the present time as il can be easily
demonstrated that on 25-cent copper the com
pany is earning in excess Of this amount and is
facing large construction expend itures All

Quincy Mining Company. and some large Boston
interests are at loggerhesds with what is styled
the ''ultra conservative policy" of President
Todd. who is stated TO control the board of di-
rectOrs- President Todd therefore recommended
