NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: The stock markets were quiet and easler to- day, but wigh an absence of business. Ameri- ns opened good, especially Louisville and ashville and Union Pacific, but then gave way on New York selling and finally closed flat on reports of an ultimatum from the States to Spain. This was not generally be- lieved, and barring any such political news I must report a very favorable disposition financial quarters here towards Americans. Many, indeed, are looking for a real boom. The general tendency to buy Louisville and Nash- ville was led by a firm which recently secured large profits in trust operations in Americans. Spanish securities were steady. Gold has fallen sharply to 77s 9%d The feeling grows that the Chinese loan negotiations are still on, but discretion prompts secrecy, and to a certain extent restrains the press.

CHICAGO, Feb. 14—At the opening and for about half an hour thereafter wheat was In- clined to weakness. Heavy receipts were re- ported as the result of accumulations since Saturday, and early Liverpool advices showed %@14 decline in futures, though cash prices were 3%@2d higher. That part of the foreign market was, however, overlooked by local traders for the time being. The French crop outlook was reported as being very favorable. Initial sales of May, which closed Friday at $T%@97%c, were made to-day at 97%@97%c, and for some time the market fluctuated betweer those fractions. Offerings were not at all heavy, but there was an almost total absence of buying orders. Graduaily the market toon on strength. Figures on the Liverpool stocks, the strong cash situation there also drew more attention to the advances in the cash market. Liverpool stocks showed a decrease of 337000 bushels for the week, leaving but 1,312,000 bushels, against 3,480,000 bushels a year ago. English country markets were quoted from 6d to 1s per quarter higher than on Fri- day. Covering by shorts and a little general buying was started when later cables were re- ceived showing %d recovery in the March de- livery at Liverpool and the May price was slowly forced up to 88%c. Here a reaction oc- curred under realizing sales, May dropping to i%c, where it was stopped by reports of poor threshing returns from the Argentine crop and statements that the figures on the exportable surplus of that country would probably be ma- terlally reduced. This caused renewed buying and a recovery to 38c. Then for two hours the market was exceedingly dull. Acting on the bellef that the Leiter party has control of the wheat market, many of the professionals went over into the other pits to do their trading, and =0 dull was the market for a time in conse- quence that brokers' reported difficulty in do- ing business in even moderately sized_lots. Some nervousness was shown at times. Prices Reading preferred, l fluctuated rapidly over & narrow range. The % | Opening United | in | City mill patents, §5 60@5 90; clear, $ 40 | exports, | 7 job- | dried | visible supply showed a disappointingly smal decrease, 385,000 bushels, notwithstanding th: recent large shipments, and encouraged shori selling, which resulted in a decline to 973fc. Late in the day the market became strong again on reports of good export engagements and prices advanced to the highest peint o) the day. May advanced to $%c and closed strong at $BH@ISi4C. Corn was very active throughout. On ac- count of heavy receipts, 845 cars, and the open- ing wheat decline, the market was weak for @ time. Active speculative buying followed, the market becoming very firm. There was an active, stronger and highe: market for oats. Business in provisions was the largest for some time. The market was very strong throughout and new high levels were reached. The leading futures ranged as follows Articles— Open. High.
