ernment seize the reins, fix railroad
wages and stabilize rates. Invest

Railroad men themselves, while
Withholding outright admissions, ap-

Chicago. Feb. IA message was
received by Hulburd. Warren and
Chandler from their agent at San Fran
cisco today, saying that he has posi-
tive information that the British COM
mission Is in the cash wheat market
there for large quantities of that
grain. Another message from the
Northwest Pacific coast said that the
British commission was In the market
for 10000 tons of wheat and that the
brokers representing Great Britain are
in a position TO meet the views OF hold
erS.
Foregoing condition caused a big
change In the wheat market at Chi
cago where the net gains for the day
were from ! "a 10 cents.
Western traffic conditions are unim-
proved with further embargoes re-
ported and the doing of new business
practically Impossible.
There were advances of u ale for corn
and la1ssc for oats today. These
grains were inclined to follow the
strength displayed by wheat. Commits
sion houses sold early and they bought
during the latter part of the session
There was buying of corn and oats fu-
lures that looked like export business
Fractional losses were made by pork
lard and ribs and the volume OF bust
ness was small on outside account, but
active on local speculative account.

Later. a partial recovery resulted from
local purchases and demand for March
from spot houses
The market again turned weak In the
last hour under wave of local and
outside liquidation and active profess
sionai selling. Prices at the lowest
showed net loss Of from IS to 35
points. The close was steady at a net
decline of IS to IS points.
Port receipts for the day were TO-
see bales contrasted with 2l.224 bales
last year. Exports for the day were
45.21l bales all to Great Britain.
Spot here was quiet. As points lower

New York. Feb. 15.-There were fur
Their recessions in cotton today. The
selling appeared to reflect the current
state OF mind. regarding the political
situation rather than any definite or
new factors. Trade was not large.
Declines in Liverpool were reflected In
an easy tone at the start here with
losses of 10 to % points on the call.
The rally toward the end OF the first
hour carried prices back to about last
nights closing figures. New crops
were relatively firm on reports OF de-
layed crop preparations with October
selling up to 1880, or three points ne,
higher, There was Liverpool buying
on the advance and covering of shorts
The market broke sharply in the
early afternoon as the rumor that Great
Britain would restrict imports to mu
nitions and foodstuffs gained circula-
ton. prices selling down to net loss
OF about IS points on the old crop and
Of 2: points on new crop positions.
