BUSINESS GOOD
 ON MORRIS AVENUE
Heavy Coast Winds Have Caused Shortage in the
 Fish Supply

Aside from small advance on salt meat and a 1-cent reduction in eggs, there was no changes on Morris ave- nue market quotations yesterday. On the whole, business was good. The egg supply seems to be growing in advance of the demand, a number of large shipments of fresh country eggs being received Monday and Tuesday. The meat business was good yesterday, while produce trade was little off
 The fish famine still continues and wholesale dealers say that it will be probably the last of the week or the first of next before any shipments of importance come in. Heavy coast winds that have continued on the coast for the past fe wdays keeps vessels loaded with fish from landing, thus causing shortage in a number of mar kets.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, February 23.-(Special.) ) Cables this morning were little bet ter than due, although privates dispatches reported narrow market, with only limited trading. Here, an accumuiation of southern selling orders over the holi- days caused another decline at the open ing, but it soon became obvious that the demand from Liverpool and from the domestic trade would be sufficient to ab- sorh these offerings, partlcuairly as Marchs were in deisand at the dif- ference from the local merchants who find it profitable to carry the stock.

WHEAT WEAKENS
 AND PRICES BREAK
Depression Due Largely to Weakness in Winnipeg
 and Liverpool Markets

Chicago. February 2s-wheat suffered a break today that in some cases amounted to as much as 41k@44c the re- suit chiefly of weakness at Winnipeg and Liverpool. Closing quotations were un- settled, 7sc to 1ss@11kc net lower, with May at sl2Sh and July at S.19ss Corn gained 7sQ1c to 1ssc; oats finished Isc to 11s914c off. and provisions 10 to 171sc up.
 Depression in wheat proved most acute right at the outset. when the trade was dominated by bearish announcements re- garding big receipts and liberal reserves in Winnipeg and by word from Liverpool that the European visible had notably increased and that the Australian sur plus was more than double any ever be- fore obtained. The general rush here to sell appeared, however, to be overdone and the market began to recover, espe- cially after a leading expert had de- clared that much more than the usual extent of winter killing in the domestic belt was soon likely to be shown.
 Gossip of liberal export business helped the wheat bulls to bring about a further rally during the last half of the session. The fact, though, that most of the sales to Europe were of Manitoba wheat and for deferred shipment acted as some what of an offset. Extreme difficulty of getting freight vessels appeared to con- tinue, notwithstanding that the entire British mercantile marine is now under government control.
 Corn developed remarkable strength in the face of the break in wheat. The rea- son was that arrivals of corn here turned out to be much less numerous than was generally expected. Oats sympathized with wheat instead of corn. Nothing was heard of any export demand for oats.
 There was some selling in provisions at the start, but the effect was only of transient sort

LlverpooI was persistent buyer in

Liverpool was persistent buyer in this market all the morning, finally bring ing about some covering from local shorts, so that the market recovered 20 points from the opening decline. There appeared to be a slackening in the de- mand in the afternoon so that the close was somewhat lower than the best prices reached on the advance. Tomorrow is the first notice day for tender on March contracts, but it would appear from the action of the market today that much of the March liquidation has already been accomplished. The disappointing feature in the market was the fact that no fresh speculative demand appeared on the ad- vance.
