STOCKS TOUCH NEW LOW LEVELS U. S. Steel Slumps to Low Mark in Final Hour. NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—The stock Hosed irregular today, many of the leading issues falling to new low levels for the day while others rallied somewhat. United States Steel dropped to anew low for the session of 90%. American Locomotive was a strong feature, advancing to anew high for the liny of 1t)9%. Baldwin Locomotive also recovered in the last few minutes, again touching 104%. Davison Chemical dropped 1% points to ft>%. Mexican Petroleum fell to 119% a loss of about 6 points for the day. Pan-American Petroleum was down over 3 points to 53. White Oil fell 1 point to 9 and Chandler Motors yielded % of a point to OiiViGovernment bonds were unchanged and railway and other bonds Irregular. Total stock sales for the day were 719,200 shares; bonds, $13,905,000. (By Thomson & McKinnon) —Feb. 17Professionals took the selling side of the market. The reason for this is not clear unless It was in anticipation of a customary week-end reaction and profit taking. Pressure was concentrated on Mexican Petroleum. The decline here was rather sharp and was promptly accompanied by the usual story that appears during weakness in this issue, that salt water had appeared in another well. The market in general held fairly well. Reactions in some issues were offset by improvement in others. The market has during recent months demonstrated its ability to withstand not onyl bear pressure but unfavorable news and there is no reason why it should not be able to take care of itself at this time. The news of the day was mixed. Bonus legislation was again injected into financial discussion by the statement of the chairman of the Committee ou Ways and Means that a bill would be presented that would be satisfactory to the majority and would be passed, but in view of tile attitude of the Prseident, It is v*ry doubtful now whether any law could be passed that would involve class taxation. Avery favorable item as to business conditions is found in the report on Rock Island Itailioad traffic. During the first thirteen days of this month, this road handled 9,000 more cars than in the same period last year while business handled for connecting lines as well as loadings on the company's lines both show a fair increase. We will likely have a reaction now. We will certainly have them at frequent intervals. We suggest accepting profits on bulges and be better prepared to take advantage of these reactions?

The lighter grudes of hogs were steady generally, with a few strong spots, while heavy swine were luc higher generally. Trade was very brisk and all of the receipts had been sold at an early hour in the forenoon. Both shippers and packers took their full quotas of swine. Trade in cattle was again very active and prices ruled steady to strong. Receipts were extremely light, runniug close to 500 for the day. Practically all grades of cattle were in good demand and practically all of the receipts had been sold long before the close of the early forenoou hours. There were a few sales of steers that were better than the average run of $8.40, which was the top for the day.

GRAIN VALUES CLOSE LOWER Decline Is Sharp, Despite Adverse Weather Reports. CHICAGO, Feb. 17.—Grain prices were lower on the Chicago board of trade today. Liquidation of wheat developed and the decline was sharp despite reports of adverse weather conditions in the Southwest. Locals attempted to check the decline during the early trading. Corn receipts were large the estimate being 550 cars. Selling by a promU ent commission concern and the weuknt ss of wheat exerted a depressing influence on oats. Provisions were higher. May wheat opened unchanged at $1.39*4 and closed off 2c. July wheat opened off 2e tit $1.22, closing off l%c. May corn opened at 62%c, off Vie and closed off %e. July corn opened off %c at (14%c and closed off Vie. Oats, May opened at 42%e, off Vie a% closed off Vie. July oats opened at 43%e, off %c, closing off lc. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Feb. 17. Wheat—A slight reactionary tendency in foreign markets has been responsible for some scattered realizing in wheat but more largely responsible for a slowing down of new demand. The fact that cash wheat in this market is selling at full carrying charge discount under the May has been responsible for a slight m idiftcution of ideas. This change of sentiment is more in the way of an intention to tiwait further reaction before expecting higher prices than it is in the way of the idea of a lower trend. A little better tone was displayed in choice milling wheat in this market and at the same time Kansas City sees an improvement in flour business. There is some evidence that the visible supply figures of next Monday will not show any important decrease, in fact some expect a small increase. These conditions may slow down the market for a time, but it must be remembered that there Is no increase in the world's supply, remembered, also, that central Europe seems to have a wonderful absorptive ability. Further than this, the condition of the crop In the Sofiithwest, while not now a factor, must be reckoned with in the future. We do not believe any pronounced downward trend is ahead of us. but we do suggest the exercise of caution when buying. Corn and Oats—Seaboard houses have been moderate buyers of corn, but otherwise the demand has been less urgent. Realizing sales and the action of wheat were responsible for the reaction in prices. The situation in cash oats instead of improving, is growing more burdensome, larger buyers have withdrawn from the market and primary receipts continue to exceed last year. This market is losing friends because of this. I’rovisions—An early dec-line in hogs and the action of grains was more than offset in provisions by a nit iter active cash trade and higher prices in English markets. There is no itume Date evidence of any increase in receipts of hogs, therefore, undertone of products should remain strong. CHICAGO GRAIN TABLE. —Feb. 17— WHEAT - Open. High. Low. Close.
