The Hiuqins Corner

The valuable business block at the
southwest corner of Main and Second
streets owned by Thomas Higgins, the
we'll known copper mine owner of Bis
bee, Ariz., will not be dismantled at
present to give place to the ten-story
modern structure that Mr.. Higgins had
planned to erect a year ago. 1t was
In this block on the alley side that the
recent lamentable explosion occurred.
Mr.. Higgins stated yesterday that it is
his purpose to put up handsome new
block on that corner, but cannot do so
this year for the reason that the leases
will not be surrendered. He now has
a force of men engaged in repairing the
damaged portion of the block. Mr.. Hig-
gins has placed over million dollars
in substantial improvements in Los
Angeles and will continue to buy busi-
ness lots and erect new structures for
commercial purposes. He believes that
Los Angeles is destined to be one of
the greatest commercial, industrial and
home cities on the globe.

NEW YORK, Feb, 2t.-The stock mar

was no disposition to enter into any new

J. The special weakness of Union Pacific,
which had been the feature of the re-
cent market, was no longer In evidence,
although the resumption OF the trading
on Monday Is likely to find the dreaded
Interstate commerce commission inquiry
In force again.
There was a special pressure against
the Hill stocks, which seemed to be
prompted by the outspoken assertion of
the head of those properties that re-
action in business which has been
vaguely argued as possible In the recent
stock market discussion, has been
actually set in. The weakness of the
group seemed not to be mitigated for the
fact that Mr.. Hill was inclined to ex-

The news from Washington that the
general board of the navy had been in

misglving over the possible results of the

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-Trading in the
wheat pit was only moderate in volume
because of the reluctance of many trad
ers to open new accounts preceding the
holiday tomorrow. For Il short time
after the opening the market held steady
Cold weather in the winter wheat belt
and smaller receipts in the northwest
were factors in the strength. The mar
ket soon eased off and during the re-
mainder of the day the market was un-
settled, but near the close sentiment be-
came bearish and longs sold freely. The
close was easy. May opened 1sc lower at
77A@773sc, sold between 77A@77Bc and
closed hc lower at 77Ac.
A firm tone prevailed all day in the
corn market May opened unchanged at
4G%c, advanced to 471ac and closed A@asc
up at 47B@47Ac.
Oats were strong because of the buy
ing of the May option by leading bull
A lively demand for cash oats by east
ern shippers. was the principal bullish in
fiuence. May opened Bc higher at 4Oc
advanced to 41s@nhc and closed 3st
higher at 41Ac.
Provisions were quiet and steady. A
10 cent advance in the price of live hog:
was offset by an estimate that durins
the week 10000 more head had beer
packed than during the same week last
year. At the close May pork was off sc
lard was down sc, ribs were 213c lower
The board of trade will be closed to-
