market opened steady at unchanged
prices to an advance of four points on a
renewal of yesterdays covering move

early buying may have been encouraged
by the settlement of the garment workers

from the south. Offerings increased on
the advance. however. and the market
reacted slightly under Memphis selling

CHICAGO, February 26.-Reduced crop
estimates in Argentina, the result or dls-
appointing threshing returns, caused
wheat today to advance. There were also
unfavorable reports from Russia. Of
ferings were light. The opening was un-
changed to Is higher. May started at 95t4
to 933s, the same as Monday night, to ls
up, and rose to 931aa93es.
Weather adverse to the movement from
farms put strength into corn. May opened
Ac to &c up, at 52Ac to o23sc, and climbed

NEW YORK. February o6.-After
several days OF steadily falling prices
the stock market rallied during the
morning.
The upturn appeared to be largely
the result of short covering. coupled
with some buying for the long account
by traders who held that the bear
movement had been carried so far that
a recovery was due.
Favorable developments over night
assisted in the advance. Attorney
General Wickershams opinion that the
Hartman segregation plan would be
adopted. despite the objections of the
California railroad commission, and
the strength of the London market
gave the bulls definite material to
work on. Liberal buying here by Lon
