CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-In addition to bearish
news and influences in plenty on its own ac-
count today, wheat has been under the shad-

In view OF the many adverse influences play

crate Buyers of cash wheat have been back
ing away from the market here and at other
centers and there has been more wheat sofa
back to this market by interior mills than
has been bought here for shipment. some OF
the selling today has been of rather intiu-
ential sort Larger spectators have been
ranged on the selling side, presumably on the
assumption that the weak stock market and
largo primary receipts together would loosen
up the cash premiums and make larger
available supply for the May short.
The buying today outside OF the frequent
covering by shorts, has been hafd 10 locate

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Aggregat
dealings for the day of 1,672,00O shares
and increase on prices Of 1 to points
for practically all the active stocks
offer evidence OF a liquidation III the
stock market sufficiently drastic and
embracing to call for some other ex-
PLANTATION than temporary vagaries Of
speculative sentiment or merely tech
nical conditions in the stock market
itself. The extent to which the prev
ious decline had already run, its dura-
tion and the technical results in
yolved are some of the points which
entitle spectators to view the days
events as promising reversal to
follow.
That all is not well with the body
economic or with finance and industry
as was assumed when prices of stocks
were 10 to 40 points higher than were
touched on the declines today is borne
in upon the mind with conviction.
The conviction that overlies practi-
cally all others and tinges the whole
was that the commercial recession and
industrial reactions were to be read
in the action of the securities market.
This opinion has been gathering ad-
ueTeulS IOT StNGEd1 WGthE-
Another factor was the authority
given to views publicly stated by quail
flied legal testimony, supposed to rep
resent the views of large organizations
of capital, of the harm to follow from
the proposed enforcement of the Sher-
man antitrust law. The word panic"
found frequent repetition in these
various pictures of the future and the
effect was decidedly disturbing to the
- .Ia.
There was the fear that with the ar
rest OF the upward course of prices of
commodities there necessarily would
follow a process of defiation which
would arrest the course of prosperous
activities all through the channels of
commerce.
This weeks failure of an important
: firm of dealers In bonds was the text
also for unfavorable Views. There
grew up supposition that the clean
ing up Of credits now in progress might
originate as far back as the panic Of
1907. This supposition APPLIED to ac-
counts through the stressful period of
1907 and not cleared up since, but
which were being pushed for settle
ment now with the prospect supposed
TO be waning in its promised bright
ness. This condition was said to exist
not only in portions of the banking
world, but in the mercantile and gen.
eral credit position. The market had
an effective rally of to points in
the final hour and the closing tone
was strong and we'll sustained at the
recovery, but the inviting profits on
the days decline offered to the bears
obviously supplied most Of the induce
ment for buying.
Bonds were weak, but with no sign
of the Generalization of stocks.
