TRADERS IN GRAIN
HOPE FOR UPTURN
Cash Position of Market Is
Apparently Against
Rise, However. .
BY FRANK I. WELLER.
Associated Press Farm Editor.

Although wheat is only about cents
less than 1t was last year at this time.
statistics are still bearish on grain, and
price advances seem to depend tempo
rarily on outside influences and increas-
ing public interest.
The country generally is in a more
bullish mood and the speculative trade
is inclined to work for higher wheat
prices. From an actual cash stand
point, there would seem to be moth
ing to warrant further upturn. ANY
slowing up in the export demand or
speculative buying power easily might
bring about some further recessions in
value Some are inclined to believe the
recent bull fever in wheat, which has
brought about persistent buying under
81 cents for May, is SubSiding.
Bulls, however, have been looking to
washington for news that will carry
the grain markets into even higher
ground. Since tremendous official and
political efforts are being made to i'm
prove the financial and economic stu
alton, any move believed capable of i'm
proving farm values is possible Of ad-
vancing price lines.
Congressional and administrative at
tacks on short selling in both the Sc
curities and commodities market have
caused shorts to cover hurriedly and
the longs to add to their lines. This
has made an extremely strong market
up to the present, for whenever such
fever sets in no one knows just when
it will run its course.
At the same time there comes a more
confident feeling that wheat is getting
out of the rut in which it has been for
number Of weeks, prices are getting
more out of line with world markets.
Chicago May brought 625s cents, new
high for the move

Grain Market

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February %. Grain
prices here averaged higher early to-
day helped by upturns in Liverpool
wheat quotations and by big increases
of the Italian wheat import quota. De-
terioration of India's wheat crop to
1212 per cent below normal was re-
ported.
Opening at "a off to ss up. Chicago
wheat futures subsequently rose all
around. Corn started at "a decline tg
"a gain and later held near the initial
limits
Advances of wheat values were in the
face of setbacks in securities and ap-
peared to be especially due to 80 to so
per cent widening of Italy's allowance
of imported wheat permitted to be
ground by Italian millers This was
generally taken as acknowledgment
that European homegrown supplies
were almost exhausted and as indicating
that France and Germany would fol-
low the example set by italy. Trade
advices were also current that world
import requirements of wheat would be
at least 100000 bushels more than
was recently estimated
1t was contended that only moderate
quantities Of wheat were now left in
Argentina and Australia, with North
America the sole granary In sight hav-
ing good grade wheat available on
large scale. At about cent q bushel
advance, however, wheat encountered
fairly heavy selling from commission
houses. Moderate reactions ensued,
notwithsta nding suggestions of a cold
wave and despite prospects that do
mestic primary receipts of wheat
southwest would fall off owing to
freight rate advances. Corn and oats
were relatively weak, Influenced by
sales of corn against purchases of
wheat.
Provisions duplicated steadiness Of

BONDS DEPRESSED
IN LIGHT TRADING
Irregular Down Trend Shown
by Market After Hoii-
day Closing.
BY #. II. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 23.-BondS
were irregularly lower in extremely
light trading today.
The market opened steady. Ordi-
narily it might have been expected to
follow the reactionary tone in stocks
but there were a number of factors
which prevented bonds from dipping.
One was the announcement of the con-
troller of currency that he had ar
ranged with the New York Federal Re-
serve Bank to centrallze control Of the
marketing of bonds by receivers of
closed banks This will guarantee an
orderly distribution of these securities
investment market on severe down
swings.
Another factor aiding bonds was the
advance of United States Government
long-term issues in the face of q stiff
fening of bankers acceptance rates.
This was construed to mean that the
advance in rates was merely temporary
and caused by some large movement Of
funds and it was believed Government
bonds trended higher because Of the
likelihood of a cut in the rediscount
rate this week
There was some interest in railroad
bonds and in most cases offerings were
absorbed without losses st. Louis
Southwestern Consolidated As, how
ever, were off points. This was based
on the progress of the appeal of the
Texas & Pacific and Missouri Pacific
against the Interstate Commerce Com
missions decision to permit the South
ern Pacific to acquire stock control Of
the cotton belt. Wall Street thinks it
unlikely that the decision will be upset
There were small declines in Allegheny
IS, MiSSouri-Pacific 512S, Northern Pa
cif1c As and Frisco 4l2s.
Industrials were irregular Sinclair
Oil IS gained while Texas Corporation
SIS eased Armour of Delaware SIPS
were up narrowly. New York City
fractions were all higher, rejecting
heavy buying of the common stocks.
On the other hand some of the junior
utilities such as International Telephone
SIS, American g. Foreign Power IS and
Columbia Gas g. Electric SIS were q
point or more lower
movement was in japanese bonds,
which dipped sharply in response to
reports that the Japanese had had a
severe setback in the fighting at
Shanghai and planned to double their
force there. Japanese 612s dropped
more than points to a new low. ia
panese SIS also hit new bottom.
South American issues were irregular.
Argentine IS rose a point. German
issues were steady, with little change
in the rest of the European list. Brit
ish 51as paralleled an advance in ster-
ling quotations. The Bank of France
has decided to cease selling sterling for
the present.
United States Government bonds
were unchanged to about u point
higher. The one exception was the
issue of Treasury IS, which were down
about Il at one time. This bond was
largely bought recently on the false
supposition that the Treasury would ac-
cept income tax payments in Treasury
obligations at par.

FOREIGN TARIFF LAWS
RESTRICTING MARKETS
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Foreign tariff measures now in effect
and in prospect are expected by the
Commerce Department to weigh heavily
on international trade during 1882.
In q review of the subject the de-
partment said likelihood of definite
action during the year by foreign coun-
tries on moderation of high tariffs and
of variety of other drastic trade con-
troll measures appeared to rest largely
upon resolving of the financial crisis
and appearance of substantial signs of
recovery from the general economic de-
preston.
Discussing 1875 trade, the depart
ment said the worlds unsatisfactory
business conditions led many foreign
countries to a further tightening up of
their markets, accompanied by shrink
age of exports, resulting in part from
the increased tariffs and other restric-
tive measures and aggravated by the
financial difficulties of governments.
