AFTERNOON GRAIN LETTER.

Chicago, Feb. 25.-At S6s May oats
show q decline of AZ from the sos
top, shorts covered on the dip. Wheat
visible is exceedingly small at TO-
$4,000. Enormous corn receipts OF
over three millions, with cash corn
5 to 10 cents lower, had as usual
little effect in the futures. No oats
export demand reported. Apparent
ly corn industries will stay out OF
the market until exporters are cared
for. The oats situation includes
chance of price action in rye and
barley, the SO cent maximum, talk OF
record average, chance of to 4
million oats at Chicago for long
period, possibility of an excellent
winter wheat crop outlook, coming
farm reserve report. At Chicago the
ruling shows that the SO cents maxi
mum is an absolute maximum. On
and after February 23rd liability OF
seller ceases at SO cents.

Sunday Morning Fire.

Fire began to make inroads on the
roof of the John Watson home, cor
ner of Boone street and Broadway
at about $50 o'clock yesterday morn
ing and the fire department was
called to the scene. 1t is presumed
the blaze caught from chimney
sparks. A good sized hole was
burned in the roof and both chemi-
cal and water We're used before the
flames could be eXtinguished. The
damage did not exceed $50 and is
fully covered by insurance, Mr.. Wat
son having insurance on his house
but net on his furniture. No damage
was done the interior of the home,
However. The tiremen used every
precaution to prevent damage from
water.
There We're more people at this
Sunday morning fire than there were

Is Cars a Day is New Quota.

Farmers, stock buyers and other
shippers here are rejoicing over the
improvement in the freight situation
and much stock, grain etc, hereaboucs
is now moving. Saturday notice was
given out that the Northwestern had
raised it's allotment of freight cars on
this division from fifteen day to sew
enty-five.
This division extends from Tama
City to Hawarden. This is an unusual
ly long stretch to have to get along
with fifteen cars per day and yet that
has been the allotment for some weeks
past, up to Saturday. The new allot-
ment is five times as large as the for
mer daily quota and will be of material
assistance in shipping out much stock
that has been tied up, as we'll as
thousands of bushels of soft corn that
has been held for cars.
Farmers and stock buyers were
much wrought up over the situation
and feared they would lose good deal
of money when the cars finally came.
The outlook was that the bottom might
fall out of the market when large ship
ments began moving, but the reverse
has proven true. The hog market is
better than 81 higher than it was when
the car shortage stopped shipments.
