The He Lome Incident Fulled to Cause Any Sensation on ’Change— Local Trade Ruiet. ♦ At New York yesterday money on call was easy at per cent.; last loan, 1 % per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 3(ft4 per cent. Sterling exchange was strong, with actual business in bankers’ bills at $1.8594 for demand and at $4.8304.83%, for sixty days; posted rates, $4.84 and $4.86%; commercial bills, $4.8294.

In view of the sensitiveness in tne recent |mst to everything connected with the Cuban question, its disregard of an incident involving so acute a phase of feeling is noteworthy. The view taken of tlie subject in Wall street was that the possibility of danger in it had been avoided by the firm and prompt manner in which the Incident had been treated by the government. Prices advanced from the opening of the market. Higher quotations from London gave an impetus to the opening rise. There was no general setback from the opening to the close of the market. The only thing approaching it was an occasional pause in the advance, but this was simply due to the falling off in the buying, and not to heavy offerings. On a renewal of activity the upward movement began again. Advances were not uniform and were not simultaneous. Considering the volume of the trading for the day, the rise in some stocks was notably small. In those which show large gains the advances were made at different times during the day, first one and then another stock or group of stocks icing taken up and pushed. The local traction securities scored the largest advances and showed the heaviest dealings of any group in the list. Metropolitan Street-railway duplicated its movement of Wednesday with a rise of 4-34 points on rumors of special benefits in the shape of privileges in a further issue of stock. Manhattan was at one time over three points tip. but was feverish at the advance. Thirdavenue rose 2Ys and Brooklyn Transit two lioints. The strength of the market showed a tendency to run to the specialties, anti Tobacco. General Electric. Western Union and Susquehanna & Western preferred were conspicuous in the day’s movement.-Pull-man added five more points to its remarkable advance. The mainstay of the market was the renewed buying on a large scale of the New York Central and the strength of Northwest. Omaha and other Vanderbilt stocks. The grangers as a group were strong, Burlington leading. Noteworthy advances were also scored by Louisville, Grand Island and Hocking Valley stocks. Adams Express was bid up 22 points "over Wednesday’s bad price without eliciting any offers. American Express sold 2% points over the last sale and was bid up two points higher. There was a further easing in money rates, and sterling exchange continued firm. The recent slight reaction in speculative bonds terminated yesterday, and the genual movement was again strongly upw’ard on a verv large business. It was reported that SI,CCO,OOO worth of a single issue have been taken for London account. Total sales, $4,890,000. United States new fours, regular, % lower bid. There was heavy trading in the outside N?w York market yesterday in the Standard Oil Company liquidation certificates, the price being above previous records. Sales were successively at 430, 437 and 445% before noon. One sale of Standard Oil was reported at 445. The following table, prepared by L. W. Louie, Room 11.

The mild weather continues to more or less curtail trade, the dullness being due chiefly to the bad condition of the country roads. Still, trade thus far this month has been in excess of that of February, 1897, and steady, firm prices are noticeable, unless it be in produce. In fruits and vegetables higher prices prevail than In February of last year. Grocers are fairly busy, with firm prices on most staple articles. In fact, in no line are changes in values of much importance, and a quiet trade is looked for until the roads leading from local railway stations to towns off the railroads .become passable again.

CHICAGO GRAIN HIGHER REPORTS THAT LEITER WILL EXPORT A PILE OF HIS WHEAT. Thi* and Other New* Result* in an Advance of Nearly a Cent—Pork Touches a Illicit Notch. * —• CHICAGO, Feb. 10.—Confirmation of the news that the loiter clique had contracted to move a large amount of its wheat holdings abroad was the overshadowing influence in wheat to-day. It made a strong and active market, and, helped by firm cables, resulted in an advance of nearly a cent in the May option. Wheat was not alone in the buoyancy. Corn moved up another cent and oats gainetl %®%e. Provisions made new high levels, hut heavy realizing broke the market, and closing prices wer irregular, from 2&c higher to 2VjO lower. The first hour or so in wheat a marked undertone of strength was shown, and prices moved upward. Opening sales of May wheat, which closed yesterday at 95% (h96e, were made at 96%®96%c. Strength apparently came from Liverpool. Private advices from the English market told of rapidly decreasing supplies. Soon after the opening May dropped to 96%©96%c on realizing, then a slow advance started which carried the market up to 96%©96%c, when another reaction occurred, May declining this time to 96%c. Sellers were not without encouragement. Northwestern receipts were 415 cars, against 403 cars last week, and 256 a year ago. Chicago receipts show r ed some falling off—fifty-nine cars to-day, eight of which were of contract quality. Crop reports were very favorable, there being a Kansas message stating that the prospects there were the best ever known, and the outlook in Michigan was also good. News from Argentine caused some hesitancy for a time. Broomhall estimated the Argentine shipments to Europe this month at about eight million bushels. A report that between 800,000 and 960,000 barrels of flour "bad accumulated at New York was also influential in the second decline. About 11 o'clock the market again became strong and decidedly active. An authoritative New York dispatch put the flour stocks there at not to exceed 160.000 barrels outside of those already contracted for shipment. Everything else, however, was entirely overshadowed by the cash news. Reports that Joseph Leiter had contracted to ship 500,000 bushels of wheat by the Lehigh Valley road to the Eastern seaboard which were circulated yesterday were confirmed to-day, and it was further ascertained the wheat was going forward on a through rate to Europe. There were also rumors of other large 10-ts to he moved out, half of it by rail, and though not entirely confirmed, were received with credence by traders. The Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour were put at 534,000 bushels. By noon there was a. big trade in the pit and prices under a general buying demand had advanced to 97©97%c. Many of the early sellers were forced to buy back their lines. The price was well maintained at the top for some time, but offerings became freer late in the session and a reaction to 96%c took place, the market closing steady at that price.. Considerable interest was shown in corn and the market in the main was vevy strong. Small country offerings, soft weather, good export demand and the strength of wheat were all factors. Professionals and leading commission houses were active buyers. Heavy realizing by holders caused some reaction, hut the market was strong at the close. May ranged from 29%®29%c to 29*%c and closed %c higher at 29%(ii29%e. Oats were active and firm. The feature was the reported sale of 845,000 bushels for export. Tne large cash business had a good effect on business, many of the “longs” who unloaded yesterday buying again. There was good realizing at the advance. but all offerings were taken. May ranged from 25%c to 24%c and closed higher at 25%c. Trading in provisions was active, with the feeling unsettled. A small opening decline, due to large hog receipts, was quickly recovered on good general buying, and new high prices were reached. There was heavy selling in the swell of lard and pork by packing interests, and unloading finally became quite general. All the early advance was lost, the market closing steady, May pork 2%c higher at $10.62%: May lard, 2%c lower at $5.07%, and May ribs 2%c lower at $5.17%.
