mission houses also sold taking profit At
the end of half hour tAe market was

Immediately impaired further strength to
the list. On the advance. March rallied
to les, May to 1915 and July to 1903.
This advance was soon lost by selling of
Wall Street, being influenced chiefly by
weakness of stocks and general unsettled
conditions. 1t was reported that con-
SerVatlVe bull operators were advising the
purchases of new crops as a straddle and
to liquidate old positions. This seemed
to have had effect, to Judge by the err

market as well as in New Orleans
During the afternoon session the mar

PRICE CURRENT CROP OUTLOOK.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 19.-The weather
has not been cold enough since the snow
melted to do any damage and the period
of extreme low thermometer has almost
passed. Moisture is plentiful and the
soft and red winter wheat region from
all appearances now will eventualize a
good outlook. West of the river the con-
dtion is not at all favorable on account
of general lack of moisture.
This applies to Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska
and Kansas. The wheat has not been
hurt and there is still some time before
the growing season sets in. The dry soil
can not be ignored and until there is
rain, it is a menace to a good crop out
look Oklahoma and Texas are in good
condition since the heavy snow of two
