CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.


Chicago, Feb. Notwithstanding
a temporary break which resulted
from word that Germany would not
admit any Illegally in the sinking OF
the Lusitania, the wheat market to-
| day scored a substantial advance
chiefly because of Unexpectedly high
er cable quotations and owing to in
creased apprehension OF damage to
the domestic winter crop. Prices
closed steady at a net gain of 1c, with
May sl.34 aud July s1s25ls Other
leading staples, too, all showed an up
turn--corn Il to re, oats Is to hc
and provisions to Toe.
Chances of severance of relations
between the United States and Ger
many were responsible for transient
decline of &c a bushcl in the value
of wheat. Previous gains, however.
/ were not entirely wiped out, and with
in an hour the market had rallied in
vigorous manner. The total of this
European business was estimated at
1904 bushels.
Areas of threatened danger to the
ed to have broadened today TO a not
able extent The zone said TO be per-
haps imperilcd by cold weather and
insufficient snow protection now APP
pears to include a large part of ONO,
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri
Corn and oats were bullishly af-
fected by the wheat strength. Car
shortage reports were numerous. but
cash handlers generally look for larg-
er receipts here.
Higher prices on hogs gave firm
ness to provisions. one of the feat
ures of the market was the purchase
of 100000 pounds of May lard. The
transaction was said to be to cover
recent speculative short sales.

Situation Between Germany

tss MORNING Iouss.. SPECIAL LEASED wasi

New York, Feb. A very consid-
cradle part of the recent recovery in
prices was relinquished today when
reports again indicating danger of a
rupture of relations between Wash
ington and Berlin caused extreme de-
clines Of to points in a wide var
iety of of issues. The speculative elc-
ment was disposed to draw unfavor-
able differences from the situation and
sold extensively.
To this was added a substantial
amount of long stock, or closing out
of bullish commitments, trading being
the largest of any day of the week
except Monday when the January de-
cline eliminated. There were other
bcarish factors including the firm at
titude of the coal operators against
the demands of the anthracite miners,
and the failure of certain expected
Industrial dividends to come to pass
A few stocks, notably Crueible
Steel and Distillers Securities, stood
out in the days operations.
Rumors persisted that Crucble is
TO be absorbed by one of the largest
and most successful of the steel pro-
ducng companies and the confident
buying of that stock added the ee-
ment of plausibility. At its maximum

United States Steel was at all times
the most active feature and under
steady pressure, falling from its max
imum Of "a Y to S2la and making no
recovery. Declines of l to 21s points
