CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, February 2s.-Proof that the
edge was of the export demand spoiled
the wheat market today for the bulls.
Prices after showing an upward bent
closed weak at a loss of 1saN to half

night to Is higher. and oats unchanged to

como was 10 to 111sa20 decline.
Hope of foreign buying dwindled rap
idly among wheat traders In the last
hour of the session. Word came of a
little export business at Omaha and
Kansas City for shipment by way of
the gulf. but the total appeared insig-
nihcant- Meanwhile the domestic mill

OPTIMISTIC OVER OUTLOOK.
Brokers' Forecasts for Spring Bust
ness Are ENCOURAGING.


NEW YORK. February 2s-J. s. Bache
g. Co. are optimistic about the market.
They say:
There IL a pretty fairly distributed
belief that the spring rise will take place
this year. This is based on the fact that
in some years. when underlying condi-
lions have been favorable. the spring
time brought with 1t activity In business
and advancing prices in the stock mar
ket In years like 1918. 1910 and 1911,
when general conditions were unfavor-
able, no rise occurred.
Last year there was an almost steady
descent from the high Of January to
June, and in 1907, another panic year
(because 1913 was a breaking year, but
without conhagration), stock prices
crumbled away in the spring. In 1908,
however. when the promise (Which was
fulfille6 was for general revival, the
spring market was one of brilliant up
rising.
This year the favorable foundations
are undeniable. Mexico is a disturbing
factor. but the money situation the world
over is good or mending. stocks Of goods
throughout the country are low, and
deep snow has covered the land from
one end of our boundaries to the other
protecting the growing wheat and nur-
turing the soil for the spring and sum-
mer paintings
Henry Clews says:
Although the decline at this writing
does not appear to have run its full
course. there Is nothing in the situa-
ton to cause uneasiness. On the con-
trary, the outlook is encouraging finan-
cially, and industrial conditions are
sound. Political conditions are be-
coming less threatening. and spring is
approaching, when sentiment is usually
of a more hopeful character. Most of
the depressing influences are Of tenn
porary nature, and have been largely
discounted by the decline of the last
three weeks"

Railroads Placing Orders.

The railroads released orders last week
for 100000 tons of rails, $50 cars. 80 To-
comotives and 400 tons of bridge work
The rail contracts included $1,000 tons
more for the Illinois Central. 5000 for
the Great Northern, 1900 for the At
lantic Coast Line and 1850 tons for South
America The Virginia and Southwestern
ordered 500 gondolas and the Northern
Pacific ESQ ore cars. Queries are now in
the market for Il, 90 cars and 52l loco
motives.
Manufacturers placed fewer orders for
rolled products. but specifications against
contracts continued liberal. The indica-
ton is that the total orders for finishing
steel IN February were about 20 per cent
being the only line showing an increase.
structural steel orders last week aggre-
gated about 5000 tons, including 1900
tons for subway construction. The prin-
cipai building orders were $500 for the
Bell Telephone building at Pittsburgh.
$500 for Commonwealth Cold Storae e
buildings at Boston and 1910 for the u.
L. White store at Columbus. Ohio.
Total fabricated orders in February
were about $1,000 tons, against $1,000 in
January. Contracts for 10000 more are
pending.
Buying Of pig iron again decreased, the
higher prices demanded checking the
placing Of contracts. Total merchant or
ders last week were about 10000 tons
and for tho month Of February, $4,000
tons.

Sense Of Uncertainty.

Business, political and speculative con-
ditions are still distinctly unsatisfactory.
The Wall street state Of mind continues
to be that Of uncertainty. Amateur poll

terfal factor in business for many months,
and the sense Of uncertainty is. on that
account, as potent as ever, though less
obtrusive in comment as to surface OBJ
servation. MEN of AFFAIRS" whose ma
ture Judgment usually controls at the
climax Of great emergencies, are not
yet ready to bulk their views on def
mite conclusions as to whether or not
the ship of state should come to anchor
and confer with the malcontents or
fight it OUT on some agreed policy. I'm

quently heard in groups Of Wall street

a useful body with wide and admitted in
fiuence. For that and many other rea-
sons the New York Stock Exchange is

center Of news and power.
The experts figure that the bonded in
debtedness Of the United States. as a

NEW YORK, February 2S.-The level
Of quotations was lifted another notch
today. 1t was a slow process among the
principal stocks, whose gains were limited
to fractions, and there was silent re-
action just before the close. Some Of
the specialties, however. advanced from
to 8 points.

that selling had been overextended.
