At the sasae time local trading Is very light, and values are almost nominal. It la not probable that farm ers could be found who would sell eiub wheat on a basis cf,S5c Portland,' and at the easae time dealers doubt whether they ceuld ell even at this price.

Outsiders Inclined to Sell Out Their HoldingsEasier Money Con ditions Are Expected. NEW YORK. Feb. 2S. The reactionary tend ency in stocks gained force today, and was of more lniluenoe oa speculative eeatimeat than, yeeterday. The day's operations dls cloeed a weU-organlzed bear party In the trad ing, and their attacks on prices and the suc cess that met them were testimony to the vulnerable condition into which the speculative situation had fallen. The falling back of prices was net attended with unfavorable aews developments, and was dearly due to technical causes. For one thing the newcomers In the market for the outside public were disappointed at having bought stocks yesterday morning at the top level, only to see them decline. There was. In conse quence, a eignlflsant decrease In the outside demand for stocks and an Inclination by the outsiders to cell out hokHRgs. The failure of confirmation by official announcements of any ot the numerous reports recently circulated beget a .spirit of timidity among buyers. Many buyers' were prompted to take profits offered rather than ran the risk of the failure of re ported projects to be consummated. The shaky conditions of prices yesterday bed the effect of inducing the placing ot stop-loss or ders to a very large extent at prices below the current level as a precautionary measure. In the recent feverish condition of the mar ket, brokers have been lacliaed to insist o& this measure ot precaution oa the part ot cuatomerz. This condition by the bears, who could be sure to 'buy In and cover their shorts at a profit If onee these stop-Ions orders were uncovered. The action ot the market shewed very plainly that raiding tactics were resorted to, 'wide declines and sudden recoveries stow ing the eager haste to raver shorts on the part ot bears. Recent favorites In the speculation were naturally most vulnerable, and New York Cen tral. Union PaeMc. Southern Pacific and Penn sylvania, consequently suffered most severely la live day's movement. . In the pericd of re covery, special stocks were pushed upward apparently with the purpose ot supporting the market and extending the rally. Amalgamated Copper, the New York tractions, Erie and a number ot epeeialUea, including the high-grade Industrial!, made such, advances from time to lime. The immlsesee ot the hearing la the Northern Securities appeal may have been an influence in the realist ag which was In prog ress, as the expected decision in that care has been made the baaia for euoh long dob tiaued move2nt In the various stocks affecied that further results from the aaBOUBcemectt are hardly to be expected. Yesterday's advance in United States Steel came to a pause, al though further heavy purchases of pig iron by this corporation were reported. The day's record clearing-house balances and exchanges only slightly below the highest rec ord, witnessed the heavy requirements ot the Southern I'aciftc bead payment made yester day. With this operation completed, easier mosey oondithwa are to be expected, but this did not serve to cheek the speculative liquid v Uon ta stock!. The feeble rally aggravated the tendency to throw over stocks, and the pressure increased, making low prices for the day In the flaal dealings, and making a de csdedty weak dosing. New York.
