At New York yesterday money on call was steady at 1tG2 per cent. . Prime mercantile paper. 7i44 per cent. Sterling exchange was firm, with actual business In bankers' bills at M.S7U&4.S7 for demand and J4.&07li4.84 for Fixty day; posted rates, KS4WU4.S5 and J4.S3; comuicrtidi Ullis. i.oj t t. co 73. Silver certificates were 6HA63&c; bar islver, 61c; Mexican dollars, 4Sc. Bar silver was 2$Vd an ounce In London. A large proportion of the dealings in the New York stock market yesterday again centered In the steel stocks. The official statement Issued by the banking houses having the negotiations for consolidation In charge giving the terms of exchange for the securities of the present companies Into those of the proposed new company, dashed the speculative enthusIsm, over the steel stocks. With the exception of an upward dash In one or two of the steel stocks just at the opening there was no strength manifest in the group during the Cay. It was a few minutes after the opening, In fact, before the official statement was given out. The contrast between the volatile effervescence of the speculative spirit on Monday and in the first few mlnutp.4 of tradlnir vostertm.' -with the sober quietude of the trading based on calculations with pencil and paper after the actual state of affairs became known was a glowing commentary on the fascination of the unknown for the speculative temperament. This was the first fact to attract the attention of the speculators that the price level of the existing- stocks did not consist with the relative benefits they were to receive from the exchange. This led to a kind of arbitrage dealings in the effort to adjust the price level on a consistent basis. American Hoop benefited by the operation while Steel and Wire was a sufferer. Hut it was evident that the insiders who have had time for mature calculation had done their buying while the outsiders were not Inclined to Jump at conclusions In so' vast a problem. As all of the stocks get from far to 125 per cent, of the new securities n the exchange, with additional benefits In some cases, it Is clear that on a basis of equal value for the properties concerned, the new stocks should sell lower than the average prices of the present stocks. There was much calculation over the probable price of the new securities, but so far as known there were no dealings "when Issued." There were a few railroad stocks which were notably strong. In view of the steel stocks and their need of support, the assumption !s not a violent one that a purpose to sustain the general market had tomething to do with the advance in some railroad stocks. St. faul was the most notable example of strength, rl?lng at one time 5U points over Monday nleht. The Southern Railway stocks. Missouri Factflc and the Pacifies and Eastern railroad stocks generally gave evidence of firmness. Monday's strength in the tobacco stocks continued. American Tobacco rising 3. Of the steel stocks. Steel and "Wire was mu?t under pressure, dropping at the last 4U below Monday night, after being vigorously supported abcut 41. Railroad bonds tended lower in sympathy with stocks. Total sales at "par value were J2.61P.0u). United States new fours advanced H per cent, on the last call. Following are the day's share sales and the closing bid prices: , Cio!ns Stocks. Sales. Bid.

Trade Rnther Quiet, Conditions Belntr Unfavorable Price Steady. Several days of winter weather In the latter rart of February naturally checks trade more or less. Then it is in a large measuro between seasons. Retail merchants are buying cautiously until the trade situation Improves. Still there is no Inclination to take any othe-r than a cheerful view of -the business outlook. In prices yesterday there were but few changes, and none of importance. The cooler weather seems to have checked the weakness to the poultry and egrfc markets, but warmer weather would soon bring a break in the price of eggs, if not poultry, for which there is now an active demand. The market 13 still well supplied with green apples and some very good fruit, and the same remark applies to oranges; but in neither has the looked-for advance In prices materialized. Irish potatoes are still In good supply, and really of better quality than those sold in the early winter. Provisions' are moving well at steady, strong prices. Flour is quiet at unchanged prices. Seed merchants are qu!tJ busy, with prices firm but unchanged. Tho local grain market is dull. Better prices are not Increasing receipts to any great extent.

WHEAT CHOP ItEPORTS OUTWEIGHED A DECREASED V ISIBLE. Llhernl Offerings Depressed CornOats Followed the Coarse Cereal Provisions Dull and AVeaker. CHICAGO, Feb. 26. In to-day's speculative play on the leading Board of Trade markets conditions were not materially changed, although the tendency was towards easier prices. Wheat closed a shade, corn Uc, oats He and provisions 7HV$ 12c lower. Wheat was irregular In regard to price. Traders evinced -a disposition to await something distinctly indicative of a change In crop conditions before assuming their stand. Outside business was conspicuous by its absence, and to this was due the declines which followed every advance. May opened HSUc lower to unchanged, at TSVsC to 76,iJ76Hc, Influenced somewhat by a report that the Kansas wheat acreage would be 7 per cent, larger than last year, with the plant in excellent condition. Light Northwest receipts and a short-lived commission house demand sent nervous shorts to cover and May rallied to 76H7C?ic. This bulge tempted realizing sales, and as the trade was keeping an eye on the declining corn market May fell off to 7G18C At this a leading operator absorbed 750,000 bushels, bidding the market back to 760 in so doing. It waa during this advance that the visible statements were made, but the failure of the crowd to follow the new leader showed how well they had calculated earlier. More long wheat was for saJe on .this advance and May again declined, cluing a shade down at 7CUc. The world's visible, according" to liradstreet, decreased 3.532.001) bushels during the last week. Exporters reported twelve loads taken. Seaboard clearances in wheat and Hour were 203,000 bushels. Primary receipts aggregated 415.000 bushels, compared with 5Jy.000 the corresponding day last year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 213 cars, against SG2 last week and 479 a year ago. Local receipts were ninety-five cars, none of contract grade. Moderate activity characterized the corn market during the first hour, but thereafter the market for this cereal ruled cjull, and, like wheat, was bounded by the pit. At the start commission houses traded liberally on both sides of the fence, with the scalping element working hit and miss nt whichever side seemed to offer a profit. Country offerings were more liberal, though not large. Cash trade was slow. May sold between 41UQ41UC and 4dc and closed Mc lower, at 41c. Receipts were CU cars, three of contract grade. There was a fairly good trade in oa's within a narrow range of prices. May sold between 2534c and 25c and closed lie lower, at 25254c. Receipts were 4iS cars. Provisions were dull and . weaker. The opening was steady on light hog receipts and a strong market at the stockyards. The cash demand continued among the bullish items, and some of the early buying was said to be for export, but selling by packers overcame whatever bullish influence these facts may have had.' The close was easy. May pork sold between $14.17 and $14.07 and closed 12c lower, at $14.07; May lard between $7.55P7.C7 and J7. 47 4(5 7.50. closing 7c down, at $7.47 7.50, and May ribs between $7.13 and $7.07, with the close 7c depressed, at $7.07.
