.. Grain Market

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-Wheat prices
hardened today in view of colder
weather in the winter crop region
There were complaints from Kansas
that some damage had been done by
freezing temperature. the ground
being wet and bare Of snow. Bulls
were encouraged also by hope OF ex-
port sales. The opening. which was
shade to Il higher. was followed by
a moderate further gain.
Decrease In offerings from the West
and reports that mills would need all
the spring wheat in sight helped to
prevent any serious reaction. The
close was easy at a shade to u over
last night.
sympathy with wheat strength
brought about a rally in corn after
the market had shown weakness on
account of bearish e~tinates regard
ing farm reserves, Country offerings
were only moderate. Prices started
unchanged to h@A lower, but then
advanced to above last nights level.
The upturn was checked by figures
showing that the estimated export
able surplus of Argentine corn is con-
siderably in excess of primary re-
ceipts from the largest crop the
United States ever raised. The close
was easy at %@k to u net advance:
Oats developed firmness because OF
the action of other grain. Sellers
were few and scattered.
Provisions rose in consequence of
higher prices for hogs. First sales
were s to TX up and the market con-
tinued to climb.

WALLSIREET.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The market
lay quiet at the opening today. Price
variations among the active stocks
were so slight that no trend in either
direction was observable. The only
changes of consequence were among
the less active shares. Studebaker
advanced IL and Colorado Fuel l.
IL a. m.-Speculative sentiment
favored the long side for a time and
prices rose after the early period OF
hesitation. Fresh offerings later put
the list below the opening figure.
Buying of some of the specialties was
on an increasing scale. Woolworth
gained 3 points.
Noon-Stocks were in larger supply
today and the promptness with which
they were distributed on the slight
early advance effectually leveled
down the list. Shares which had been
bid up to afford a cover for selling
at other points grew weaker when
traders became convinced of the
futility of such tactics.
Despite the renewal of European
buying, easy money, strength of the
Investment position and accommodating
evidences of improved business condi-
tions, speculative sentiment was more
bearish. This attitude reflected no
loss of confidence in fundamental
conditions but was due to the belief
of traders that substantial reaction
was due.
Bonds were steady.
1 p. m.-Little inspiration was re-
ceived from the bidding up of low
priced specialties. such asNThird Ave-
nue. and Central Leather. Trading
was dull and professionals operated
in desultory fashion in the irnpor-
tant stocks.
2 p. m.-Eastern railroad shares
weakened in a more decisive manner.
Pennsylvania losing point. Reac-
tionary tendencies continued else
where. The list felt the absence of
the recent sustaining force OF short
covering.
3 D. m.--The market closed easy.
Liquidation Increased in available
supply of stocks and bear operators
were active in searching out weak
spots. Declines of point were made
In Reading, Union Pacific, Southern
Pacific and other representative
shares. Fractional recoveries &C.

BANKER DEGREES
EXCHANGE BILL
Van Antwerp Says Owen Bill
Will Ruin Americas Chief
Market.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.--W. G. Van
Antwerp, governor of the New York
Stock Exchange. today told the SEN
ate banking committee that the Owen
bill for government regulation of
stock exchanges would do more harm
than good and that enforced incor-
poration would destroy Americans
primary market place. The discipline
airy powers of the New York ex-
change over its members based upon
just and equitable principles of
trade" he said, was a stronger re-
straint than could be provided by any
law.
He pointed out that to incorporate
the exchange would transfer the
power OF government into the courts
where judicial reviews would dis
place the arbitrary powers of the
governors.
MIR. Van Antwerp declared the New
York exchange applied the laymans
view of what vas just and equitable
and was governed more by moral
than legal considerations. If the ex-
change We're to adopt the regulations
OF the Owen bill, he declared, thirteen
billions of stocks and thirteen billions
of bonds would Immediately be with
drawn from lists, and the exchange
would cease to be a market of i'm
poi ldiCS. he duOSOs however, LnaI
the listing of securities and that or
ganization, capitalization and hota-
ton of securities was matter for
government regulation.
1t is duty that clearly belongs
to the government" said he land the
stock exchange will rejoice when the
government undertakes that RESPONSE
bility.''
The stock exchange rule against
a fa1a la Inr. h. .
sweeping, and was administered in a
far more effective manner than any
thing that could be done by the post
master general Mr.. Van Antwerp
declared that the owen bill would
only paralyze exchanges in the
United States and leave those In
Canada and Europe free to carry on
business. He discussed at length the
technical provisions of the bill re-
ating to market practises, and spoke
of the provision that would bar from
the mails any newspaper containing
report of stock exchange trans
actions. -
If Congress may exclude from the
mails newspapers containing per.
fectly truthful (although prol1ibited)
reports of transactions upon an ex-
change" said he, there is no reason
that | can see why Congress cannot
similarly exclude newspapers con.
tanning comments on the doings of
the minority political party, or any
other matter which the majority In
Congress might wish to withhold
from the public. Fancy how pleased
Colonel Roosevelt would be with that
prohibition. 1t is mistake to sup
pose that we of the stock exchange
are here in opposition to anything
that you may do to help us or to help
the public with which we deal We
are not in opposition; we are here to
assist in any such good work, and
especially we. want to put an end, as
you do. to all forms OF manipulation
on the stock exchange"
