railroads. the snowfall continues. Conoi-
tions are substantially the same across

Railroad reports art TO the effect that
throughout Nebraska the snowfall ranged
from six TO eight inches, This snow is
heavy and wet and consequently is not
drifting. By reason of this fact trains are
running on schedule time.
While the snowfall generally was
around six to eight inches, there are
parts OF the state where II was much
heavier, notably so through the South
Platte country. Down around Nelson.
Superior and Fairbury. the snow Is as
serted to have fallen to a depth OF ten 70
twelve inches, while around Hastings and
west pretty we'll out toward McCook, ten
inches was the minimum.
In many portions of the state there
has been a continuous and steady snow
fall since Thursday. In those sections II
is estimated that the snow Is now from
fifteen to eighteen inches in depth, wet
and heavy 1t is now feared that II II

high water that would do much damage

SHEEP-There were a few sheep on the
market but not enough TO try out the
trade, this being generally the case on q
Saturday.
At the close Of the market Friday
lambs were fully half a dollar higher
than the close OF the previous week, and
aged sheep showed an advance OF 4Og60c.
This was SO in spite OF the fact that the
receipts OF the. week have been liberal.
On every day until Friday prices gradu-
ally improved, but a good run that day
and beariSh advices from other points
lowered the market a little, though the
close was strong.
On Thursday, the high day, Mexican
lambs sold up TO $915. the highest since
last November. Good light Mexican year
lings reached $3.50, the record since
April 1910. Some Mexican wethers were
good enough to make top Of $40 and
ewes commanded 500.
The demand for wool continues strong
and active with the good TO best kinds
bringing from 26c to SOC.

CHICAGO GRAIN ArD PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.--It was more on &C
count of a change of feeling than be-
cause of a change of news that the wheat
market today scored a substantial ad-
vance. Intelligence that forty warships
had forced a passage several miles up the
Dardanelles did not reach here until after
trading hours. Prices closed strong, 21ac
to 41kc above last night. other net gains
were: Corn, PIC to 21zq2ssc; oats, FAC to
l1kd1%c and provisions. SC to 12lsc.
Buyers ruled the wheat pit today. VIZ
tually all of the decline of the preceding
session was overcome. The violent set
back had apparently accomplished dras-
tic clearing out OF weak holdings. ana
had given fresh stimulus to export and
milling demand. Sentiment favoring the
bull side was also encouraged by the
fact that Liverpool quotations failed to
reflect fully yesterdays decline here.
There were besides continuing reductions
in the estimates of the Argentine export
able surplus.
Traders opinions regarding the Darda-
nelles situation, leaned to the view that
as far as the wheat market was concerned
results need not be expected, soon.
1t was in accord with this theory that
nearly the highest prices of the day were
in force at the windup.
Shipping and export sales amounting to
about 10000 bushels, put the corn mar
ket on the upgrade. Most of the time
shorts were In a scramble to cover. Rain
and snow In the southwest formed nan
dicap on the bears. Seaboard demand re-
manned urgent as TO oats. Sales to Tor
eigners, however, were not reported.
In provisions, the feature was rally
from early weakness. Grain strength
finally gave the advantage to the bulls.
Futures were quoted as follows:
