CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET.

CHICAGO, March 2.-Wheat today
closed strong at top price of the week
| There were reports that supplies In
Minnesota and the Dakotas did not ex-

ing showed an advance of ssah to ssaA

oats, with a gain of u to IS, and hog
products. TN to 42k increase in cost
| Bullishness took firm hold on wheat
| during the last half of the day. During
the early part of the session the market
was depressed as result of a moderate
decline at Liverpool. due to prospects
for larger world shipment. However,
Paris reported light stocks and good buy
ing on the part of millers- Antwerp,
Berlin and Budapest were up, and Argen-
tine advices less encouraging to the bears,
especially in regard to the quality OF the
crop. Minneapolis sent word OF a better
flour trade, and 1t was stated that a.
prominent northwest milling concern had
bought all the spot wheat in Buffalo.
Strength Of corn counted, too, In turning
the market upward, but with many spec
ulators the most decisive factor was a
spring wheat states had been reduced to
beggardly half rations Between the
opening and the close May ranged from

Buying force in corn developed rapidly
on news of snowstorms west. Experts
declared that the heavy feeding Which
would follow meant a severe Gripping of
the total farm reserve. In this connec-
ton the market again scored a new high

PUBLIC INTEREST AWAKENED
Reported Improvement in Many
Wholesale and Retail Lines
in Trade.

NEW YORK, March 2.-The stock mar
ket manifested a tendency to further i'm
prove it's position today. most of the
leaders rising to new high level for the
present movement. Surface conditions
pointed to a very considerable elimina-
ton of the supposedly large short inter-
est during the last few days, but that ele-
ment was disposed to renew it's opera
tions in mild form today by pressing
Reading for sale. That stock, almost
alone of the speculative favorites, was
inclined to heaviness. There was some
activity and resultant strength in the
Fries, and the more prominent specialties
fully retained their recent advances.
Commission houses reported further
awakening of public interest, but this is
assumed to be of speculative character
rather than in the nature of investment
demand Impartial observers point out
that the many uncertainties and adverse
factors now prevailing will have to be
adjusted before anything approaching a
genuine demand for securities can make
itself felt On one important subject
namely, general trade-there is more
unanimity of opinion than for some time.
Ii is conceded that many wholesale and
retail lines show decided Improvement,
and the approach of spring Is naturally
expected to give added stimulus. The
change for the better is most pronounc-
ed i'm the larger distributing centers, less
optimism being shown locally and in
New England.
There was some selling here for for
aign account, and cables from London
reported serious interruption to traffic in
the provinces by reason of the coal
strike.
Returns made to the controller of the
currency show a decrease of almost SlS,-
10000 IN the security holding of local
national banks between December and
February %.
The report as a whole is not especially
Illuminating, since the decrease is largely
aue to the operations of one institution.
Actual cash loss of the clearing house
banks was slightly over $4.OOO.OO0 with
an increase of $1O,OO0,OO0 in loans, re-
sulting in a reserve decrease of almost
100000, this latter comparing with
decrease of SS,000.O0O the previous week.

Bulls were moderately active at times
this week. but the market was held down
by the labor situation in England. That
the market did not work lower was due
to support from large bull interests.
Late in the week the buying of covers
was its best support Not much atten-
ton was paid to anything but the coal
strike in Great Britain.
The statistics of the week excited some
comment, as the visible supply showed
an increase of 1888 bales against a

ago of 1884, 167 bales.
The weather Of the week was more
favorable than otherwise, but complaints
continued to come from the central and
eastern portions of the belt that new
crop prepal atoms were backward. which
sustained the distant options that the
spot market prices were unchanged the
week through at 10 7-16, which was also
the closing price on middling a week

NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The cotton

The market opened steady at a decline
of 5aS points in sympathy with lower
Liverpool cables and the British coal

admit the probable disastrous effect of
