CHICAGO Wheat was quiet during tno or the session, but advanced later and closed c higher than Saturday's last figures. In tho early trading news was meager and seemed generally favorable to the bears. Liverpool was quoted weak andiowerand domestic markets were generally easier. There were but few buying orders, while tLe general impression was that sales were the most likely to prove piofitable. The local crowd finally joined tho selling side and a weak feeling ruled. After the noon hour the market developed some strength, chiefly on tho higher Continental cables; weakened some, then made a sharp advance right at tho close on a report from Xew York that cables there said 40 per cent of the French crop would have to beresown, and that Russian price wero growing worse. May opened ntMijai;ic, against siju " " close Saturdav: broke gradual lv so 90ic; advanced to9ljc; weakened to 90c; rallied to KPfc, and closed flrmat that price. There was little to affect tho prices of corn, and the market was quiet during the most of the session. May opened He lower at tic on w raker cables and rather liberal receipts with improved grading: but one or two local storing and shipping houses bought freclv, and tho price gradually ad va'iccdto4yj;c At this point the largo in crease in the visible supply was made public and the price weakened to 42c. Covering by shorts, investment buying and tho late strength in wheat, however, caused a re action, the price going to 43c, and the closo was steadv at 42c. Oats followed corn in fluctuations nnd closed with an advance ofjc Hog products continued to exhibit the strength that set in toward the close of last week. The advance in the price of liogs is the leading element on which tho growing confidence in provisions is based. It is said to be impossible to produce them at the cur rent quotation? while hogs command such high prices.

Orer Three Hundred Enterprises Started the Last Weet in "January.

Sothepros nect of a skyscraper in Pittsburg the com ing season has, in the language of the late James Fisk, "gone where the woodbine twineth." O nly an Investment. The sale of the Phelps .tract by Ira 3f. BnrchCeld to William E. Howley, the rail road contractor, gave occasion for consider able talk yesterday. Tho main facts in connection with the deal were given in The, Sunday Dispatch. It should be stated, however, to remove a misapprehen sion, that there was no idea of a lawsuit, nor was there any controversy, legal or otherwise, in the matter. Mr. Steele, whose name appeared in connection with the transaction, had nothing whatever to do with it. The statement that the deal was in some way a link in the projected Squir rel Hill lia'ilroad is said to be entirely er roneous. Mr. Howley bought the property simply as an investment New Corporation Record. The United States Coiporation Bureau re ports the weekly list of new corporations in the United States ior the week ending Jan uary 29, 1892, as follows: Total corpora tions, 339.

They are of interest to real estate people: A husband conveyed to his wife for the con sideration of ?1 land which was subject to a mortgage, and afterward, without her knowledge or consent, proenred a loan from a third party for the purpose of discharging the mortgage, which was about to be fore closed, agreeing that the wife should give the third party a mortgage on the land to secure the loan. The mortgage debt was paid by the husband with the money so lent, and a release was executed by the mortgagee and recorded. The wife paid the fees lor recording and obtained the release from the third party, who had taken it from the clerk's office after it was recorded. The Court held that the wife had ratified her husband's unauthorized promise, and that equity would compel her to execute a mort gage to the third party tor the amount of his loan. Business Kcw and Gossip. Work on the Greenfield Avenue Hallway was resumed yesterday. With good weather It will be ready forthe cars in a short time.

CS A WHIRL IN SHARES. THE LARGEST DAY'S BUSINESS SINCE THE PANIC OF 1880. Its A ctlvlry Mostly In the Coalers, Especially Itendlns Erie Goes Hand in Hand With the Leader Coal Road Securities Fore most in the Uond List. Xew York, Feb. 8. The stock market to day was more active than on any day for years, and we must go back to tho panie of 18S6 for a parallel to the enormous business transacted in both stocks and bonds at the Stock Exchange to-day. . The Coal stocks were again the great feature of the day, and the unprecedented activity In Reading was not only maintained but surpassed the transactions in that stock, be'ing the largest ever known on the Exchange. At the same timo the late strength developed in the anthracite properties was fully maintained. and heavy advances were scored in all of them. For some time this morning there was nothing in tho market but tho Coal stocks and Erie, which latter was a,lso heavily in demand on the theory that anything which helped the Coal trade would be of benefit to the Erie. The transactions in these stocks were moro than half of the total business of the day. The improvement iu values was extremely sharp in" the early trading, but with the diminution of the enormous trad ing prices became more settled, and, whilo the best prices were not reached until tho last hour, there were frequent fluctuations in the downward direction. The extreme advance in Lackawanna reached G per cent; in Jersev Central, ii. and in Reading, 4 per cent: Delaware and Hudson being more moderate in its changes, while Erie rose 2. The strength in the Coal stocks did not affect the rest of the list to any appreci able extent during the early trading, and the bears and traders were still disposed to hammer the general list, as usual, and in Union Pacific over 1 per cent was lost before the stimulus reached the rest of the list. The steady and unprecedented gains mndo the shorts uneasy at last, and as the morn ing wot o away more attention was paid to the Grangers, Louisville and Nashville and Xorthern Pacific preferred, as well as some of tho low-priced and specialties. Prices began to rise, and before the. close of busi ness the early losses had not only been re coveiedbnt material amounts in addition, Burlington, Xorthern Pacific preferred, Union Pacific and some others being by turns remarkable for their advances. There was a sharp reaction in'the Coalers in the last few minutes, but whilo Lacka wanna dropped from 159 to 157 itclosed at 158, with the others in proportion. The rest of the list was held well and the market closed active and strong generally at close to the highest figures of the day. The final chanees' in the general list are all large fractional ad vances, but Lackawanna is up 6i;Reading,4; Jersey Central, 3, and Erie, 1. Total sales of stock to-dav were SC6.691 shares. Including Atchison, 38,100; Chicago Gas, 7,500; Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern, 54,200: Delaware and Hudson, 5,355; Erie, 110,000; Louisville and Xashvillo, 12,000; Mis souri Pacific, 3,700; Northwestern, 4,100; North American, 4,760; New Jersey Central, 15,900; Northern Pacific, preferred, 30,189; Reading, 273,700: Richmond and West Point, 23,070: St, Paul, 16.S63; St. Paul and Omaha. 8,100; Union raciflc, 17,500;' WesternUnidn, As the coal stocks monopolized the at tention in the stocks, the bonds of the Read ing, with the help or Atchison incomes, fur nished more than half of the total trans actions in that class of securities. The strength, however, wns all in the Junior issues, and -while the thirds rose 5pcrcont to 49 and the seconds 3 to E91, tho others scored only small fractional gains. The rest of the list being completely overshadowed weie firm without material change in prices. The total transactions reached $6,192,000. out of which Reading firsts contributed $537,000, the seconds $891,000. the thirds $227,0O0and the Atchison incomes $191,000.

THE MONEY MAEKEt Borrowers a Little More Urgent, but Sup ply Still Large. The position of the local money market on the opening day of the week was easy with regai d to supply and. with rather more activity in the loan department than for some timo, bearinc out tho claim that trade is on the mcud. This view is reinforcod by the Financial Bulletin whiclt says: "The im: provement in commercial circles is indi cated by an increase in loans and deposits." There was no change in .the interest rate. Bank clearings were $2,374 363 54, nnd bal ances $466,670 67. The Xew York ailthoritv quoted above says for the week ending" Saturday: "The flow of money from the interior has proved to be not quite so much of afcatuie this week, while the shipments have been heavier. Our banks aio paving interest for as larse an amount of deposits as they care to, so lonp: as rates for money continue so low, and hence tho rivalry to pile up funds has become a trifle less apparent in some quarters than it was. Wo may assume that this feeling has checkod the inflow in some measure." Money on call at Xew York yestprdav was eafy at 12 per cent; last loan ; closed offered at 1.

Big Week for Railroad Traffic Ovrins to a PIentito.de of Cars. CnioAoo, Fob. 8. Once moro a gain is to be recorded in eastbound shipments, the state ment for last week showing a total of 105,259 tons by all lines, against 98,312 tons for the preceding week and 75,467 tons for the corre sponding week last year. This was caused not so much by a stimulated movement from the West as by an Increased supplv of cars with which to move the accumulation of freight toward the seaboard. The fact that the Michigan Central was open tor the transportation of all freight offered, while nearly all its competitors were temporarily blockaded, enabled that road to outstrip all others in the amount of its tonnage. It carried 1,000 tons more than the Lake Shore or the Fort Wayne, and at least 5,000 tons more than any other rond. ' The shipments of flour, Kraln and pro visions from Chicago to the seaboard by the lines in the Central Traffic Association amounted to 71,753 tons against 70,997 for the preceding week; an increase of 736 tons, and against 40,530 for the corresponding week Inst year, an increase of 31,203 tons. Tho Vanderbilt lines carried 52 per cen,t of the traffic; the Fennyl-ania lines, 24 per cent; the Chicago and Grand Trunk, 14 per cent, and the Baltimore and Ohio 1 per cent.
