Closing prices, although unsettled, were to net higher stay with March to $1.57 to Corn gained to oats to and provisions 10 to 20c. Bullish traders in wheat made quechuot on assertions that of rallies recent' were big dealings, and that immediate opportunities for profit on selling side were limited. It was also contended that the chief question was far less in regard to competition from Argentina than whether the United States exportable surplus had already been disposed of.

One expert attracted considerable notice by an elaborate statement purporting to show the United States carry-over would be only 16,000,000 bushels if not another bushel were sold for export the next five months. Corn and oats were strengthened by the falling off in the volume of receipts of corn and by talk that the country was not selling. WHEAT- Open. High Low. Close.

This la not, strictly speaking. an adulteration. although it la held by the Department of Justice to be such technically. this opinion is enforced.

it is represented here, it will result in a distinct hardship on the dairy Industry well as on the consumer. The facts of the situation were presented to Attorney -General Palmer by Senator New, who assured the head of the Department of Justice that he did not beHere the government should jeopardize an Industry on mere technicality and it is hoped by Senator New a reversal of the opinion may be brought about.

CALL LOANS HIGHER, STOCK LIST AFFECTED Money at 9 Per Cent in the Final Hour---Leading Rails Relatively Strong, New York, Feb. in stock market circles today was bearish, that feeling finding frequent expression in the pressure directed against almost every important division of the list. The money market opening at 8 per cent the highest inpowerful factor, call" loans itial rate since the middle of last November, and advancing to 9 per cent in the final hour.

Quotations. for time funds and commercial were unaltered, but offerings wearer small supply. Further unsettlement in the commodity markets, indicated by an extension, of price oils reductions, sharp for crude competition in the sugar trade were among the significant side lights thrown upon prevailing industrial conditions. These developments coincided with additional announcements of wage reductions, and a budget of railroad earnings which were not calculated to stimulate a demand for transportation securities. Rails, in point of fact, however, were only relatively strong issues, especially Great Northern and Northern Pacific, those stocks rising briskly in the last hour aiding terially towards reducing losses where.
