PRICES SOAR IN THE
 WHEAT MARKET Figures on Farm Reserves, Lowest in Years, Ex-
 cited Traders

Chicago, February 2S.-Sensational figures on farm reserves. the lowest in years. excited wheat traders today and made the market soar. The close was strong at net advance of 7s @1c up; oats with gain of E q ssc to 7sc, and provisions products. dearer by 2h c DC to 121sc.
 The farm reserves estimate came from two prominent Chicago houses. One report indicated a reserve of only 9s.ooo,ooo bushels, compared with 179.- 000,000 12 months ago. According to different authorities the reserve was 100,00o,000 bushels, a shortage of 79,- 100000. It did not clearly develop until the session was almost at an end that the depletion amounted to such huge total. The news at first was vague. commission buying set in at a lively rate. When the definite figures were learned, though. little time was lost in grasping their full significance. An opinion which held much attention was to the effect that aside from require ments.5or seed the farmers now hold not over 15,ooo,0o0 bushels.
 Under the scare the market went wild, bulging the hardest in the last
  simultaneously Kansas City reported sales of No red a the highest price on the crop and there was word from Minneapolis that flour stocks were the scantiesN in half decade. For the May option theer fluctuations ran from s10Ois to sf.02la with the wind ur 2Bc net higher at st.02ss. Receipts were remarkably light in corn as well as in wheat and started the coarsei cereal on a steep climb. Besides there was reduced movement In the south west and ocean freight showed de crease. May ranged from CSC to 69 a 69lsc; closing strong, s4 e 7sc up a 69c flat Cash grades were firm. No | ? yellow was quoted at 65G65isc fol car lots.
 Oats exhibited unmistakablc sym pathy with wheat and corn. Short: rushed to cover and soon had all sur plus offerings out of the pit. Top anC bottom levels touched for May wer' l 52c and 52s4c, with last sales at ~th' l first named figures, ssc above the pric' current AS hours before.
 l An advance all around in provisions resulted from the strength of hogs an, grains Foreigners were connected with the buying.

BUSINESS VERY
 QUIET IN COTTON Close Steady at Net Decline. Opening at Advance-Dis-
 appointing Cables

New York, February S.-I4ess favorable
 news from the English labor situation
 caused scattering liquidation by some Of
 yesterdays buyers in the cotton market
 today, but failed to stimulate aggressive
 offerings, and business was very quiet,
 with the close steady at a net decline
 of from to 6 points.
 The opening was steady at an advance of points on February, but generally l to points lower and active months sold about 6 to points under the closing fig ures of last night during the early trad ing in response to disappointing cables
 and reports that prospects were less fav-
 orable for averting a general strike of British coal miners.
 Scattering liquidation seemed to be about the only source of pressure, how ever. and the market later rallied or
 points with trading very duh during the afternoon and with nothing in the general news apparently to offset the restricting influences of uncertainty regarding the sit
 uation in the English coal miners. The l close was within a point or two of the best figures reached after the early de- | cline.
 | The western belt forecast calling for . | return of unsettled conditions with snow 1 nurries in Arkansas and northwest Texas probably helped to steady tho marke
 after the early decline, but the early weather map showed more favorable con l ditions in the eastern belt, and houses
 with southern connections appeared to b'
 doing very little in the local market. Lat | est estimates placed March notices a nearer 20,000 than 40,0o0 bales, and 1t i 1 supposed ahat the local stock is now prac tically concentrated in the hands of th | big spot interests.

MIGHT RIDERS AGAIN BUSY IN KENTUCKY


 Hopkinsville, Ky. February 2s- When reports of night rsling at Ken nedy, in southern counties, were re- ceived here today, a special session oi the grand jury recently empanelled was immediately ordered. Meager re- ports were to the effect that two ne- groes had been dragged from their beds and whipped severely.
 Persons in the neighborhood of Ken nedy, which Is a small town near the Tennessee line, were afraid to give the details of the whipping over the public wires, and County Judge Knight left thereupon for Kennedy in an automo- bile for the purpose of conducting a rigid investigation. The authorities de- clared they were determined to carry out their pledge that marauding would not be tolerated in Christian county.

New Orleans, February 28.-Cotton 'fu- lures opened steady at A decline of 10 , points on disappointing cables and the aftermath of the Houston fire. Even with Liverpool futures lower than due the market did not have much of any selling power The weather map showed decided improvement in conditions over the cotton belt [. but the new crop months were fair ly well held just the same. Bulls offered no support. They allowed the market to take care of itself.
 Traders on both sides were rather dis posed to wait for the labor situation in England 10 clear. At the end of the first half hour prices were to points under the close of yesterday.
 The market was dull and featureless afte rthe middle of the morning. Trade was principally of scalping nature.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York, February .N.-tSpecial.)-- Liverpool did not advance and our market receded to the prices ruling terday.
 There has been no new factors to attract buyers which are not already known and few except any material decline in prices. We think the future factors must come from developments of the weather conditions. To us they seem to be improving, but we find most of the large traders long. expecting q revival in the demand from European spinners. They feel that on any decline the American spinners will enter the market. therefore there is no necessity for being uneasy as to the correctness of their position.
 Liverpool will depend upon the strike situation. but based on our market should be unchanged.

Llllie Activity Shown in Minor Issues-Favorable
 News From England

New York, February 2S.-Apart from a covering movement by the short in- terest, effected by a very sharp re- coyery in such prominent stocks as Union Pacific Reading and United States Steel, the market differed only slightly in it's salient features from the early days of the week. Trading was on a large scale, but no less pro- fessional than before. The strength of United States Steel was perhaps the more noteworthy because of severe ar ratgnment of that corporation at the h3nds of the expert employed by the stanley investigating committed.
 In substance, the so-called billion dollar trust' was charged with stiflins competition. donina ton of the trade, excess capitalization and inflated values of the. many plants taken over by it. h point of fact, however, and judging pm the course of the market as a
 lole the effect of the report seemed Rhave been discounted.
 the minor issues there was no le activity in Central Leather pre- fl red which declined abruptly, pre- lably as result of the company kncial exhibit of the past year as dls- sgd at the annual meeting. A dencit ( lightly more than s20O00oo was f @ted, an increa>e of almost SL- b0 over 1910. This showing makes m remarkable the declaration Of the I Eghr dividend on the preferred stock . O.. e day before.

 As, a matter of fact the most potent factdt of the day was the news re- ceiyed in private cables from abroad which indica ted an early agreement re- speeding the threatened coal strike in Gre1k Britain. These advices were not borEe out, however, by official state- lneffs, which reported continuance of the deadlock. There were no develop tsnts respecting the coal trade ,situ- . lion at home, but 1t is generally ac- cdpted that the outcome of. the strug- gle between capital and labor across tie water will not be without its eff feet upon that same industry here.
 The market attained it's greatest ac- tlsty in the last hour and although prices shaded somewhat from the top :. thtre were many material net gains. In fact, all the more important is- sues closed at considerable advances, declines being almost entirely con fded to stocks of secondary character. Just before the end American Tobacco broke 6 points.
 Increasing tension in the Mexican sit Yuation as reported from Washington, another large shipment of gold to South America for Paris account and con tinued drain on local banks were among the news items of the day that Lad bearing on the monetary. situation. London bought several thousand shares of stock here, chiefly Steel and Anal gamated Copper.
