Shipping difficult and this restricts business. Corn firm, arrivals limited, con sumption liberal. Oats steady but dull. Re cent purchases have been liberal and now traders are waiting for more favorable ship ping conditions before renewing buying. Flour firm. Provisions strong. Argentine weather clear and warm. Corn prospects show Improvement In the south, but else were very unfavorable. Clearances of grain o far this week very light. Foreign crop summary unfavorable." A New York broker writes of the wheat market outlook: "The market Is dominated by the Inter national situation, which stops all commer cial movements for the time at least. Under suoh conditions, aggravated by "the railroad congestion, supplies are accumulating at Interior points and leading to a pessimistic outlook. The new crop outlook, while not over flattering, is being interpreted as more promising than the start made at this time last yeaT. For two weeks or more we have suggested the . probability of lower values end see no reason to change our views now, "With changed political situations, a new sur vey would be in order.

Trading on tne Stock Exchange today was superficial to the last degree, total salee of 800,000 shares being almost -the lightest of any full ses sion this year, and the smallest witn one or two exceptions since he middle of last year. Operations were confined to a few grouns o? professional traders, that element re versing Its moderate optimism or tne pre vious day to the extent of renewing com mitments on tyti short side. The onlv riteworthy or unusual feature were the relative activity of Central Leather, dealings In that stock at an extreme ad vance of 2 points overtopping the turn over In United States Bteel. which In variably leads the liBt. Over-nieht develODmerits. particularly the situation in Cuba, found direct reflection In the course of sugar issues. Cuban-American Sugar making a gross decline of 6 points. while South Porto Rico, wnicn may aenv. some benefits from the disturbances in Cuba, made an extreme gain of 12 points. United States Steel ranged between iu and 105,' closing at lo64i. a net loss of 1 point. Related Industrials were 1 to 2 points lower, with as much for metals, while shippings, oil and utilities, parucu- arly gas shares, were down to almost 4 points. Ralls were under steady restraint, prob ably in consequence of the weakness of New Haven, which recorded the minimum price In Its history at 87 Vi to the accompaniment of familiar rumors respecting the future of that property. Lowest quotations were made 11 around In the final hour, the movement being accelerated by reports of the sinking of an American merchantman la the Euro-' pean war zone. All foreign exohange markets were at a standstill, with a further shading of rates on Berlin and Vienna, Intimations of the early completion of negotiations for a French loan by our bankers were not confirmed.

A sharp cut of 4 cents a pound In city creamery butter prices will go Into effect this morning. Prints In plain wrappers will be quoted out at 89 cents and In cartons at 40 cents. No change was made In the buying price of butter fat. but this will probably be adjusted today to meet the new condtttons in the butter market. Cubes were quoted lower on the street at 37 cents for extras. The market has never been very firm since the last advance was made, as high prices cut down consumption. Ban Fran cisco has been declining this week and this made lower prices here necessary. The egg market closed firm at 82 cents, case count. High prices In the Middle West have turned the demand from the Montana section this way. California Is still too high to compete with Portland for the business offering.

CHICAGO. Feb. 14. Demoralized traffic conditions and the chances of a wider breach between Germany and the United States had a depressing effect today on the wheat mar ket. Prices closed heavy.

Notices of fresh embargoes on Important railways sharpened the attention of wheat traders today to the increasing huge aggre gate of cereals tied up in elevators ana on sidetracks here vainly awaiting shipment. One estimate put the total at 40.000.000 buehels, not counting 60.000.000 to 75.000,000 bushels additional which have also been deadlocked In country elevators, owing to a lack of available railway cars and loce- motlvea. Rain and snow In the Southwest, where moisture has been below normal, put a fur ther handicap on wheat bulla Com, like wheat, was weakened b'y the paralysis of railway facilities. Elevator companies headed the selling. Scantiness of offerings, rather than ao- tivlty of demand, steadied the oats market About the only selling came from pit specu-latotrs. Reports that the Belgian Relief Commis sion hsd ordered 20,000.000 pounds of meats helped to lift provisions. -Leading- futures ranged as follows: Am Beet Sugar. American Can..
