DREAD OF THE UNKNOWN IT WAS THE DEPRESSING FACTOR IX STOCKS YESTERDAY. Steel Shares Were Notable Example of "Weakness Local Trade Checked by the Cold Weather, At New York yesterday money on call was easy at li2 per cent. Prime mercantlla paper, 3114 per cent. Sterling exchange was ' he -ivy, with actual business in bankers' bill at $1.87',8 for demand and $4.844 for sixty days; posted rotes. $4.S5ß4.SSV4 and $I.SSQt.S.&; commercial bins, si-saust-s;. Silver certificates were MfctJsc; bar silver. 61c; Mexican dollars, 43c. Bar silver closed at 2Sd an ounce in London. The dread of the unknown was the depressing factor In the stocc market yesterday. Preparations were evidently being made for the Interin of three consecutive holidays by lightening speculative leads. The possibilities of the three days Interval which were canvassed by the speculative public were by no means on the side of depression, but whatever favorable developments seemed possible have been so thoroughly discounted that the balance of chance Is considered clearly on the Eide of lower prices. An effort was made during the afternoon to turn the market against the shorts in the hope of driving then; to cover but that effort proveu futile, and the elf sing was weak, with many shocks at the lowest. There was a significant break In the principal steel stocks at the last, Steel and Wire, Federal Steel and National Steel falling suddenly 2 to 2U- There was some &r.ow of strength in Steel and Wire prefcried, but otherwise the steel stocks were all weak, Hoop preferred drmping 3Vj. In the principal active railroad stocks there were at one time declines of i to 2 points, members of the granger, Southwestern and Pacific groups being notnbly affected. Dt la ware & Hudson was erratic, but generally weak, falling at one time Zi under Tuesday nignt. The local traction stocks were bid up In tne course of the attempt against the shorts, and stocks of a number of . smaller railroad companies were lifted from 1 to 5 points, Pere Marquette, iloblle & Ohio, the Iowa Central stocKS r.d the Minneapolis & St. Lotus stocks belli,? conspicuous. General Jiltctric was ft reed up at one time 12 points, but closed with a net gain of only 7. The level of activity in the market was lower than for many weeks past, the day's business falllrg to about the smallest for any full day su ce election. Uonds were reactionary In sympathy with stocks. Total sales at par value were 3. 4f.,O0O. United States refunding twos ad vanced i psr cent, on the last call.

The low temperature of the last forty-eight hours has temporarily curtailed business, at least with the produce men and commission houses, as it has been too cold to ship goods which are injured by freezing, although orders are good to be shipped when weather conditionspermit. Fresh eggs are firmer and poultry Is in good request at prices quoted, which are revised dally by one of the leading produce houses of the city. The seed merchants are enjoying a big trade for February. Wholesale grocers report business good and prices very firm, but uncnanged In the leading lines of goods. The leather market Is active and prices firm. Iron and hardware merchants report their sales at satisfactory. Druggists and dealers In paints and oils are doing a good business. The flour and hide markets are dull. Provisions are mov ing quite freely for this season of the year. As fcpring approaches the wool market is beginning to attract more attention, but what prices are to prevail has not yet been settled. On light receipts the grain market is disappointing. All cereals are in good request at prices quoted on track, as furnished by the secretary of the Hoard of Trades they yetlerday ruling as follows: Wheat No. 2 red, 75,2c; No. 2 red, on milling freight.

not differ much from that represented In the Initial tale of the week, the offerings being principally medlum-elzed horses cf fair to good quality, such as are wanted for cavalry use, and chunks and heavy hor?es. There were very few harners horses represented, and there was not much call for them. The increased supply was met by a smaller number of buyers than last week, ani the natural consequence was a more sluggish trade at from $5 to $10 per head lower prices, the change being largely on chunks and heavy horses. Horses suitable to fill British cavalry orders are slow of sale at from $65 to $M per head, and tales of chunks and heavy horses range from $S5 to $173, as to quality and weight.

WHEAT AGAIN ADVANCES

IT TAKES THE LEAD WHICH COnX ' 4 HAS HELD FOH A WEEK. Conrsc Cereal Also Strong Ont Ac tive nnd HlKher Provision Are lit n Slack Stronger Position. CHICAGO, Feb. .-Influential local spec ulators were active supporters of the wheat market to-day, and the close was firm. May H'aViC higher. Corn was comparatively quiet. The market withstood considerable selling pressure and clored U?ic improved. Oats at the close were He better and pro visions 5c to 1012Hc up. There will be no ; session of the Board of Trade on Friday, Vv'aJhington's birthday. Indifference of the Liverpool market gave riso to expectations of lower prices for wheat here, bat the tap of the gonsr found offerings valued somewhat higher than they were at the close yesterday. May opened unchanged to Uc higher, at 75"ic to 75Sc. Tho first batch of buying orders be ing satisfied, the market became quiet but firm on moderate Northwest reteipts and the fact that large areas of the wheat belt are without snow protection. There was even a bit of gostip concerning Hessian fly in Nebraska, but it is rather early for that insect to be much of a factor in fixing the price of wheat.. The bears derived some comfort from an unofficial estimate giving south Australia an exportable surplus of 9.337.000 bushels. Later buying by leading operators, seaboard advices of a better ex port situation and cover-ng oy shorts who were made nervous by the strong character of the buying caused a sharp bulge to 7li8c. A profit-taking movement greeted the advance, but the close was strong. May :twjc ever yesterday, at avsibc. Import ers reported seventy-two loads taken tor foreign shipment, while seaboard clearances in wheat and flour were equal to 432,000 bushels. Primary receipts aggregated 4G3.0OO bushels, compared with 52),000 the corresponding daj' lest year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 243 cars, against 037 last week and G04 a year ago. Fresh ar rivals here wera thirty-eight cars, one of which graded contract. Corn relinquished the leadership on 'Change after the first hour's trade, having held it undisputed for a week. May opened 4c higher, at 40i40fcc. under the influence of light receipts. The crowd bought freely and May, having dropped to 40Hc, reacted to 40ic. The market became quiet on this advance and remained in that condition to the end. The closing wheat strength helped to sustain prices during the latter naif or the session. The close was U?bC higher, at 40c. Receipts were 27S cars, two of contract grade. oats were rainy active within a narrow range. The wheat and corn strength were intluentla.1. for while general conditions af fecting supply and demand were unchanged mere was good buying for the local ac count. May sold between 2525Ae and 254c and closed ic higher, at 25?,c. Re ceipts, were liu cars. The undertone of "the provision market was strong, although business generally was quiet. Hog receipts were less than had been expected, and this, combined with a good cash demand and the strength of me gram markets, resulted in an advance, which was firmly held. May pork sold between J14.071A and J14.15 and closed KXaiSHe higher, at Slt.lOftll.ttU; May lard between J7.47H and J7.52H7.oj. closing ttSHOc up. at t7.52V27.55, and May ribs between 17.07 and 17.10, with the close 5c Improved, at 7.10.
