The Uncertain Fate of tho Anti-Option Bill the Only Factor In the Flighty Grain Markers Latest Knmor Says No, and Up Jump Trices. CHICAGO The anti-option bill now pend. ing in Congress had more to do with the course or prices on tho Board of Trade to day than all other influences combined. TVith the fluctuation of opinion and the cir culating of rumors tending to show that it would or it would not become a law, prices went up or down. The markets, especially wheat, were nervoua and "spottjr," subject to periods of great activity and excitement, followed by decided dullness. On the cmb yesterday afternoon, Mny wheat, which had closed at 89c, sold off to STJJc, and this, together with a reduction of H S?i penny in values at Liverpool, made me marKec weaK at tne Stan tuis morning. Prices, however, were very ragged at tho outset and widely varying prices were made in different parts or the pit. Those who had not recovered from the scare of the day before made low offers, while many of the cool heads who did not much fear a pas sage of the bill, and who wanted to torestall anytuing liKe a panic at the start, um wen up. .The resultwas that quotations from differ ent parts of the pits ranged from 8S to fcSJ4c. The buyers, however, were in a majority, and in a short time there was an advance to SOJtC, many scalpers tailing on In the buying movement at the price mentioned. Thoy undei took to realize their profits by unload ing, but the demand having in the meantime been about satisfied, there wasnobody to sell to, and prices plunged down in two minutes to 8SJKSS9c. Then ensued a period of inac tivity, lollowcd by an advance to 8934c; then a bieak te 8SJc. During the last hour tho market continued nervous, but with licht trading, and fluctuations ranged at 8S t9Jic Late In the day, on fresh Washington rumors, thero was a rush to bur. and the price wont up to 93Jc. Near tho close it eased off some and closed at 89Jc, an ad vance of He compared with yesterday's figures-Corn opened quiet and weak at 41J41c for Mar. asrainst 41Jc at the close yesterday: advanced qnickly to 42Jc, but broke again to 41JJc. There was but little business and nothing in the way of influential news, the market beinir dominated w holly by the un cci tain lceling which has grown out of the proposed legislation in Washington. Near the close there was a rally with wheat to 42Jc, and the close was at 4'2Jc. Oats were dull and comparatively steady, closing with a gain of li,ic Hog products fluctuated several times within a narrow range, largely in sympathy with grains, though increased receipts of and loner prices lor hogs had a weakening effect. The cloie was at slightly higher fig ures. Tlie leading lytures ranged as follows. &s cork rccti-d by John M.

They Are Looking Up in the District Around the Postoffice. SPECIMEN FIGURES GIVEN OUT. Pittsburg's Rapid Growth as a Mstrib utlnfr Center for Lumber. FEATUEES OF MONET AND SPECULATION. Property on Fourth avenue, opposite the postoffice, is rated considerably higher than shown by recently published figures. Two of theowners, and perhaps others, would scarcely consider anything tinder 55,000 a foot front. One of them said so very plainly yesterday. Another has put that price on his holding. They are not anxious to sell even at these figures. The new postofBce and other improvements, completed and projected,in-this quarter of Fourth avenue and Srcithfield street, are making it the center of business, and owners appear to have reached the conclusion that there is no other part of the city in which investments will yield a larger return in the course of a few years. Assuming Large Dimensions. The lumber trade of Pittsburg amounts to 56,000,000 or more annually. It has in creased su per cent in the last lew years. Up to 1880, or later, the trade was strictly local. Now it embraces a wide scope of country, reaching , into Ohio, "West " Vir ginia and Maryland. "Western Pennsyl vania is largely supplied from this point. In regard to the condition of trade, a prom inent local dealer said yesterday: "Jlove ment Uere is only Jair to middling, but the future is quite promising. Already there is an upward tendency. At a few places in theUorth.there is qnite a stir, notably at Philadelphia. I! u Halo also reports an active market. The country is full of build ing schemes, the consummation of even one-quarter of which will make brisk times. Hardwoods are rather scarce, but otherwise stocks are full enough for the season. Fair values are maintained. Any change is likely to be to a higher level." Building and Drilling. Industrial progress" is very pronounced at Blair station. The Campbell Glass Com pany plant, "VVB. Scaife & Sons builders, is about under roof. It comprises two iron buildings, each 80x120. They will be fin ished by July. O'Leary Bros, are nearly ready to let contracts for their big plant. The Campbell Company gas well has been cased below the second vein of salt water, and drilling is progressing. Experts say there is no doubt of a good supply of gas. If this expectation be realized, it will open op a large field and give the drill a- fresh impetus. A Whirl In the Coalers. "Wall street has beenV-ild this week over the coalers. Large blocks have been ab sorbed at a rate almost beyond precedent. The movement took in every property in terested in any important degree in the min ing or carrying of anthracite. Despite the rapid advances there was a pretty general concurrence of opinion that the buying was ior keeps, and did not belong to the usual turn basis. A leading operator said: "The buying foreshadows a complete revolution from the present meth ods of conducting the great anthracite in dustry, and a vast and sustained improve ment in the prices of securities of the lead ing companies baed upon harmonious relations and large economies to be effected. The Vanderbilts. Drexels and insiders in many of the more prominent coal roads have agreed upon a play which involves a close combination between the Beading, Lacka wanna, Jersey Central and Lehigh Valley companies. The combination will be strong enough to take coal oil the hands ot outside companies if necessary and resell it at a profit." Basinets News and Gossip.

The movement on 'Change yesterday was considerably below tho pitch of the previous days of the' week, and prices, except in a few cases, displayed a reactionary tendency. Philadelphia Gas, Electric, Switch and Signal were marked down. Stocks finishing better than the opening were Central Trac tion, Airbrake and Underground Cable.

Although Central Traction finished well, it was below high-water mark of last week Sales were at 28, and considerable was offered at that figure without takers.

The Coal Deal the Only Thine Talked About In Wall Street A Big Spurt at tho Close In the Leader and Other Coal Securities. KiwTosE, Feb. 10. In view of the facts in the "coal deal" given out to-day, the stock market was little more than Beading, both ih the stock department and bond list. Cer 'tainly the transactibns in the Heading stock and bonds were more than one-half the en tire business in both departments. Of the other coal stocks, only Jersey Central made any response to the stimulation, and the general list was comparatively quiet and lemained feverish and inegnhtr throughout the entire day. The general tendency was upward, however, under tho influence of tho Immense rise in the Reading semirtMo and while the professionals and traders are still bearish on the general list their efforts toget prices down were entirely neutralized and most stocks show slight gains as the re sult of the day's operations. By far the largest portion of the business was done in the last hour, alter the an nouncement of the true nature of the deal which has mystified the street for so Ion" and Erio at this time Decame more promi nent in the trading, rising fractionally. The opening of the market was made on a moderate volume of business, comparatively speaking, with prices generally lower than those of last evening, and a rumor that St Paul contemplated an issue of $10,000,000 new stock opened that stock offj-i per cent. The rest of the list were Irregular within narrow limits, but marked strength was soon devel oped in Reading, Lackawanna and Jersey Central. Industrialsfollowed at a distance but the changes in quotations were insignifi cant, as a rule, except in the few stocks men tioned. Prices rose or tell according to the prevailing temper or the Coalers, and the general tendency was upward. In the last hour Reading went up with a rush, but without bringing the cenerallist with it to any marked extent, and Lacka wanna was especially sluggish. In fact, tho Industrials and those stocks which have any connection with the coal trade, .direct or in direct, were the onlv ones displaying any real strength throughout the day. The close was active and firm, with most of the list at close to first prices. The-netgainin Read ing was6 per cent, though it sold 1 per cent higher than its last price, and Jersey Cen tral rose 2; Distillers', 1; New England, Vt, and Delaware and Hudson and Chicago Gas each 1 percent, while St. Paul lost Vyi and C, C, C. & St. L. each 1 per cent. The total sales of stocks to-dav were 772,740 shares, including Atchison, 20,900; Chicago Gas,35,100; Chicano and East Illinois pfd,3.557; Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, 25,260: Erie, 49,255; Louisville and Nashville, 14,'coo Missouri Pacific, 16,530; New Jersey Central, 8,000; New York Central, 3,400; Northern Pa cific, pfd, 16,500; Reading, 430,379: Richmond and West Point, 3,600; St. Paul, 22.655; Texas and Pacific, 3 CDS; Union Pacific, 10,122; West ern Union, 4,450. Railroad bonds were fairly active and firm without material change of note outside of railroad issues, Dut tue importance of the latter In the market may be seen in the faot that out of a total or $6,672,000 the five Read ing bonds contributed $1,406,000. Their ad vances were on a strict parity with their activity, and the firsts are up 2J. the sec onds, 4; the thirds, 4, and the deferred in comes, 1. There was also some animation in the Atchison incomes and the Texas Paci fies, the latter being firmer than usual of late.
