Americans were flat on the disaster to the battleship Maine. The disposition here is to regard the matter as a lamentable accident, but it is feared the United States may think otherwise. Anyhow, it is recognized that the disaster may serve tempo- rarily as a fresh incentive to the jingo party, and for this reason the market, aiter a small rally, closed at the worst. The incident has re- vealed one fact, at least, namely, that the bull account here is much largkr than had been supposed. Amsterdam has joined in selling. At the same time there has algo been buying a distinctly good kind rand Trunk and Canadian Pacific were sympathetically flat. Copper was strong, sta- istics agaln showing small supplies. Rio Tintos was brought from Berlin NEW YORK WHEAT MARKET. NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—Developments in wheat late this afternoon were of a somewhat | sensational character. After fighting the hard- ening tendency all day the local crowd was finally cornered and forced to pay a sharp ad- vance iIn the last ten minutes of the session, jumping prices %@%c to 99%c for May, with a subsequent rise to §1 003 on the curb. Attend- ing this bulge was the news to-day that wheat in Chicago had been elevated to §1 041. Neither cables nor home crop news had any material influence upon to-day's market. The Havana disaster was equally without effect, although naturally creating a profound Impression on 'Change. Coarse grains were much stronger, particularly corn, which aavanced about a cent a bushel. Export interest was retarded by the sensational advances. ticular strength on covering and closed 2@4c higher than last night, while February and March closed 1%@2c higher, May closing offi- clally at 1 cent advance.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. CHICAGO, Feb. 16.—Trouble for shorts in Wheat was Indicated on the curb before the regular opening. May was bid up to $1 00 on rumors of large engagements of Wheat for hipment to Lisbon and talk of a reduction of the Portugal grain duty. The bullish feel- ing was greatly increased by Interviews re- garding the European situation by a prominent Chicago trader who has been traveling in Eu- | rope, in which he confirmed the reports of al- most unprecedentedly small stocks and said | that Europe was dependent on the United | States for her supplies. Opening prices fon | May Wheat ranged from 9%c to $1 00, com- pared with yesterday's closing price of 9%%@ 9%c. There was a perfect rush of shorts for cove at once, but as was the case yesterday almost no Wheat was offered for sale. Inside of fifteen minutes bids had been ralsed to |'$101%. This was above call price and for the frst Ume Wheat came on the market in con- siderable quantities, mostly offerings against these privileges. Though eversthing Siered was taken, prices sagged off to $1 004 and the excitement which had been Intense dled down | to a certain extent. It was evident the trade was thoroughly alarmed over the apparently unshakable hold Joseph Leiter has on May | Wheat and an official announcement that he has contracted for the moving of 1,600,000 bushels of his Wheat to the seaboard with the promised movement of 3,000, served to increase the d“"‘o:"‘.‘fifl: m it.

Apparently no attention was given to the news of the blowing up of the battleshly, Maine and the usual news was colorless. Liver- pool was %@%d higher at the close. The day’s clearances from Atlantic ports amounted to 300,000 bushels. For some time the market fluctuated nervously on & narrow amount of trading, but about noon it commenced to ad- vance again and on this advance outsiders made their influence felt. Traders who have been heavy sellers here against purchases in New York were forced to unstraddle. North- west ghorts also came into the market and helped make things interesting. About half an hour from the close July, which for some time past has been comparatively neglected, jumped into sudden activity. It had previously been lagging at around S6%c, but heavy buying sent prices fiying. At the close July had advanced to 85ic. May in the meantime had been bid up to §1 03%, and was bringing $1 03% as the closing bell sounded. On the curb, after the regular session, it sold as high as $1 05%. There was another big day in Corn and the market was strong. Sympathy with Wheat and a heavy demand from shorts sent prices up sharply. Oats were fairly active and irregular though averaging strong. Provisions wera active. Heavy receipts of Hogs gave the market a weak start, but the heavy advance in grain, the demand especially from shorts increased and prices gradually rallied.

The mills, which consume 10,000,000 | pounds or more of wool a vear, are all out of the market, and the small concerns in the very nature of things could not make a demand sufficient to keep the volume of transactions at the figures which were reported a few weeks ago. The mills are now busy working up fhnte- tariff wool in order, as one manufacturer says, to save the interest on it. In other words, the mills are showing a fair profit on their goods to-day because they are making them from | free wool. Some of them have already obtain- | ed three months orders and some have enough to keep them running until the end of August. On a market as dull as the present it is, of course, impossible to maintamn prices all along the lfne. The sales of the week amount to | 1,086,200 pounds domestic and $68,280 pounds of foreign, making a total of 2,674,460, against a total of 3,115,000 pounds for the previous week.

The joint Confldence, Challenge and Imperial west crosscut No. 1, from the surface tun- nel, was advanced 19 feet during the past week and is now out 1800 feet. The face shows porphyry. The flow of water from the face of the crosscut has greatly decreased. The yleld of the Overman mine for the past week amounted to 7 mining carloads of ore, which was extracted from the north - drift workings on the 900-foot level. The average assay of the car samples of this ore was $17 23 per ton. There is no material change in the condition of the mine. On the 1100-foot level of the Caledonia mine they are still engaged in enlarging, timbering and putting in chutes in the incline upraise from the southeast drift.
