the initials OF the states be omitted from
official kilograms for delivery in the cities

This will result in considerable saving.

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, February 4.-Wheat rallied
in the first hour today. after a weak start,
and recovered a decline which at the
outset was generally from Y to y. Ship
ping conditions, favorable to increased
arrivals. and foreign cables. telling of a
slight decline in Liverpool wheat prices,
gave ammunition to the bears at the out
set. Influential buying, based on the
present moderate stocks of grain, changed
the decline to an upward trend, which
carried prices back to about yesterdays
closing level, where the figures steadied.
May opened at 1.O9h to LILO. and much
of the trading was In the neighborhood
of 1.1O1s.
Generous accumulation of stocks, to-
gether with a sluggish demand for cash
corn, gave a bearish ttnge to the corn
pit. Opening figures were from y higher
to " lower, May showing the only initial
firmness and losing its lead In the first
hour. Fluctuations we're whiting narrow
limits, May opening unchanged to 70
higher, at 66s4 to 667s. and declining to a
resting place at about 665s.
Trade in the oats pit was practically
featureless, opening features being from
a shade lower to Is higher, belief that
larger arrivals are certain to come CIV
ing bearish sentiment encouragement
Fluctuations in the first hour did not ex-
coed Is. Opening figures for May were
,,ncbanged to a shade lower at 463s to
465sa46a4
Increased receipts of live hogs at the
packing centers and lower prices for the
animals caused decline in the provisions
Dit. Little activity was displayed and
trading was within narrow limits. Open
ing prices for the May products were:
Pork, 2160, 11le lower; lard, 11.U. ~
lower, and ribs. 11.51, ~ lower than yes
terday's closing figures.
The early rally carried May prices UP
to L. Ossa1 1912, and later decline set in.
May fell off to 1.O91sa1.O 9A, the other fu-
lures dragging less heavily. The close was
weak at nearly the low points. with May
at 1.O9ha !. 09ss, 7aa1 lower than yester-
days final figures.
Later in the day the market sagged
under a poor demand. TIL e decline was
from y to %. The close was weak at the
low points with May at 66a66h ssas4
lower than the final figures yesterday.

Short Interests Outstanding.

Nevertheless, there is stout and con-
hdent short interest outstanding which
has only partially covered its commit
ments, if at all, and around this price
level conflicting operations of the per-
sonal element are likely to produce high
~ irregular price movements for some
lime to come.
Marketwise news of the day was. for
the most part, limited to the retailing
of more or less expert or inexpert opin-
ion, for which the financial district was
canyassed. If it had not been that to-
ward the end of every one of the last
five week the utterances of the experts
have been generally reaSsuring, the en-
cOuraging deliverances which were avail
able today might have been less du-
biously accepted.
The market itself disclosed in the
early dealings such an aftermath of
liquidation as would naturally be the
consequence of such a demoraIized mar
ket IS yesterday. On the whole, though
the indications of commission house
business were that speculative commit
ments had been pretty well cleaned out
at least down to the point where long
stocks were strongly held.

London a Heavy Buyer.

The opening was at an advance fol-
lowed by a recession and a rally with
a great deal of irregularity thereafter
London, at least through arbitrage
transactions, was a heavy buyer in the
early dealings, but much of the buying
for London account this week may pos
sibly be credited to the customary pur-
chaseS against the sale of calls.
In the early part of the afternoon the
market sold at general advances over
last night s close, but the gains were
of most irregular sort. ranging all
the way from an eighth and d quarter
for such stocks as Baltimore and Ohio
and American Smelling 10 ) points for

Biased by Near View.

1t is a question if most of the views
expressed in high or low Wall street
quarters today with regard to the stock
market situation We're not biased by too
near a view of it. Nothing changed
overnight in the conditions external to
Wall street which have made for such
violent and extensive unsettlement in
quoted values since the beginning of the
wear. There is this much to be said,
though-that speculative liquidation in
the market has been tremendous, and
that. whether this liquidation with It's
resultant decline be regarded process
If correcting market evils or discounting
probable developments of a sort. which
securities always reflect. the market has
been reduced to a condition which indi-
Gates both the cure of evils and thor
nugh discounting of pretty dire possibl-
tiles. more dire, perhaps, than there has
been any reason to apprehend.
According to the judgment of competent
observers of stock market phenomena,
the market is now in a position where
rest can complete the cure unless some
unforeseen and untoward development in
the near future should revive panicky
excitement in the Wall street community.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
NEW YORK. February 4.-The Wall
street stock market has been in the hos
pital as it were and has had various OPP
erations performed upon it. Including
laparatomy and craniotom. so to say,
presumably for its own good and the good
OF the country. Just now it is suffering
severely from something like surgical
shock, and at the moment the question OF
greatest interest is how the market will
rally after the operation.
Thereafter il will remain to be deter
mined if further operation is necessary
and in what condition the patient may
be TO endure it. According to opinions
rather freely vouchsafed by most of the
Wall street surgical faculty today. all
the needed operations have been per-
formed and it merely remains now to re-
cruit the patients strength.
The days market session. however,
was marked by great feverishness and
nervousness. and while rallying tenden-
cies were strongly pronounced from an
early hour, the severity of the shock
which had been sustained was evident.
