LITTLE CHANCE IN
 WHEAT MARKET
May Delivery Declines While
 Other Months Advance
DEMAND IS NOT HEAVY
Corn Is Heavy Throughout inc session And After q Dull Session Prices Decline-0ats Close Lower and
 
 Provisions Much Higher

Chicago, February 26.-May wheat fell off from lsc to Ac today and the dis tant delivery advanced in about the same degree. Corn and oats were easy and provisions advanced from 10c to 3Oc influenced by an improved demand and the prevailing high prices for live hogs. May pork made record price of s24. 30
 Repetition of the recent crop damage reports was the principal bullish factor which was responsible for a slight ad- vance in the price of the distant futures in the wheat pit. Much of the other news of the day was of a bearish quality,
 including weak demand for cash wheat and large arrivals. On the whole the market was quiet, fluctuations varying from 1kc to ssc. July moved between s1.07sl and SLOT, closing at $1 079sQ1. .0715 1s@he up. May touched s1147s and sank to s1.14ss. September copied July rather than May. The close was gen. erally steady with May at s1.141kQl1. .1S14 1snAe lower than the final figures yesterday.
 Heaviness marked the course of the corn market throughout the session Fluctuations were within narrow limits and offerings were absorbed with diff culty. May moved between 66lsc and 655sc, the other months showing less The close was steady with May off 1s@14c at 65s4c.
 Trading in the oats pit was feature less throughout the day with general heaviness corresponding to the condition of the corn. Price variations were from 1sc to ssc, May selling at 4714c and 465sc The close was steady at from unchanged to 1sc off. Final figures for May were 47@47lsc 1sc lower than the last quota tion yesterday.
 Provisions easily outstripped the grains in activity and ruled uniformly higher, May pork in particular making a sharp advance and touching 24.30, the highest point since the civil war. Lard and ribs also made good advances The demand for the different. products was strong throughout the day and final figures were we'll removed from the previous close.
 The principal factors in the advance were continued high prices for live hogs and small arrivals at the packing centers. Closing prices for the May products were: Pork, $2i.20, 221ac up; lard. S13.071a 10c up; ribs, SIP I5G12.7715, 121adl5c higher

COTTON MARKET |S
 STILL IRREGULAR
Tone Is Generally Steady in a
 Day of Erratic Trading
NEWS IS CONFLICTING
Spot Houses Are Big Buyers Of May But Sellers Are Cautious And the Advance Is Held Back to
 Moderate Figures

New York, February 26.-The cotton market was somewhat irregular today, but the demand for May from spot houses imparted generally steady tone to the situation, and near months showed consid- erable strength The close was steady net points lower to 15 points higher The market opened steady at a decline or points to an advance of points, the ir- regularity refectng the conflicting in- fluence of poor, cables and bullish senti- ment created by yesterdays developments with reference to March notices.
 There was good deal of realizing for over the week end. and as soon as over night buying orders had been executed the active months eased off to net de- cline of about s to 10 points in conse- quence. But spot houses were big buy CTS of May on this decline, while there were further reminders that large ship ments from the local stock would be made to Liverpool.
 These reports and the character of the near months buying rendered short sell CTS cautious, and after selling at 14.24c May firmed up to 14.52c, or IS points above the closing figures of last night and 2S points above the low level of the morn ing. There was quite good deal of southern buying on the advance, and ru- mors were circulating that outside bulls who took up cotton on March contracts yesterday were competing with large spot interests for the control of March con tracts.
 Late months followed the advance slow y and the close was little off from the best under realizing. Private cables at tributed the poor showing of Liverpool to American selling, and it is reported that prominent London authorities are advls- Ing spinners to provide literally for their wants on the ground that the worlds consumption of American cotton prom ises to reach 12.500.000 bales, thus indi- eating reduction of 100000 bales in vis- lble and invisible supplies for the sea- son.
 Receipts at the ports today, 6223 bales, against 11,273 last week and 3S,627 last year For the week, 75,000 bales, against S2462 last week and 155,Ss9 last year. T3- days receipts at New Orleans, 67f bales, against slo7 last year. .and at. Houston. 24S2 bales, against 36S9 last year.

.s New orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, February 26.-Cotton futures opened quiet, unchanged to ! points lower than yesterdays closing. No great amount of business was done on the call but afterwarda brokers re- ceived considerable volume of sell ing ordeNs from profit taking longs and prices fell off on the more active months until they were points down. The first sale of May was at an ad- vance of point and the price fell points from this in the first half hour of trading. The weekly statistics were more favorable than expected and the weather map continued dry, but bulls were not aggressive.
 The decline continued until about the middle of the session when May and July were 8 to 9 points under yestcr- days closing. Here fresh long buy ing came in and during the remainder of the morning the market had strong undertone and gradually advanced until May and July. The most active months were 21 to 24 points up from the bottom. There was little trading in March or in the new crop months Toward the end of the day shorts bought freely and showed nervousness over the prospects of a good spot de- mand from exporters and other spot shorts during the week to come as foreccs st in bullisI market circulars The closing was very steady at net advance of 12 to IL points on the old crops and ? to 3 points on the new, practically at the highest levels of, the day.

sun Te,nuIe Discovered.

1lhartoum, February 26.-(Special.)- Professor Garstang has discovered on the site of the ancient Meroe. the later cap. ital of the Ethiopian monarchs, sun temple by ErGamenes, mentioned by Diodorus. The temple is unique struc. ture. showing Greek inspiration and con. tainine sculptures representing King Ergameness victories and a. triumpha procession. There is also list of tribes in the districts of the southern Soudan.
 The building includes a sanctuary lined with brilliantly enamelled tiles. Tine discovery shows that the invention of the Meroitic script was due to Ergamenes's alphabet. being modelled on the Creek Il also esta blishes the value of the Meroitic letters. Further excavations, which have been carried out on the site of tho Tenn pie of A mmon at Meroe prove the build. ing was grander than had been anticipat. ed and was restored by Negeg Ammon. Many inscriptions and statues have beer found.

In spite of cheap money some banks of the Pa eifc coast have found it profitable to take out circulation. All the United States issues are in better demand.

Hubbard Bros. .S Co.'s Letter

New York. February 6.-(Speeial.)- Liverpool was adversely affected by the report that some 10000 bales would be shipped from New York to that mar ket, and by the decline last evening in New Orleans.
 A decline of 1 to 3 points was a surprise as an advance had been ex- pected, but on the opening it was soon found that a demand to cover March and May was in evidence.
 This demand slackened for a little while under realizing by the buyers of yesterday, to be followed by sharp advance, closing steady at 1S points advance on May.
 careful study of the Liverpool stock reveals, a remarkable sihation abroad, with a probable dema IT for our stock at any time, as 1t is Waila- ble When the European spinne& will again begin buying depends oh the continuance of the present good busi- ness in Manchester, but with Liver pool holding so small a stock any re vival in the demand will be felt throughout the south.
