CHICAGO, Fob. 1. Wheat was quiet, but
rallllcd on oxport buying nml heavy clear
ances following cosiness at the opening,
May closing 'iOc higher. Corn nml oats
each closed WOVic up and provisions prac
tlcnlly unchanged.
Wheat was dull and easy nt the opening
Under the Influence of easy cabled, liberal
receipts and heavy Argentina shipments.
May opened c lower at 7G1-,0761c. with
considerable pressure on the market for
both local nnd outside Interests. Early te
ports of export sales turned the market,
however Shorts became frightened nnd
covered, with the result that May rallied
to "Cic. On the bulge profit-taking became
tho order of business, but the close was
steady. May 'ffo higher at 76c. Seaboard
clearances, cciunl to 67!.OuO bushels In wheat
and Hour, were an Influence In the rally.
Primary receipts aggregated 102.000 bushels,
compared with 323,m) bushels Inst year.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 3.11 ears,
against 2o3 last week and 311 a year ago.
I-ocal receipts were forty-eight cars, t.nu
of contract grade. Argentine shipments
last week were 720,O bushels, compared
with 168,000 bushels the previous week and
two.wiQ bushels a year ago. Deliveries on
February contracts were 0 bushels.
Corn was iUlet, with the trade moitly
local and without features. Tho openlni;
was easy on tho good weather for grading
and moving nml In sympathy with wheat.
The crowd wont short, but later covered
because of the wheat strength, causing a
rally, and tho close was firm, Hecelpts
were 2SG cars. Deliveries on February con
tracts were 330,(kj bushels. May ranged be
tween nMWas'U1 SS'iQ-Wjc and closed
HOlic higher at 39Hc.
Trade In oats was light and the mnrkot
responded neither to tho early weakness
nor the later strength of wheat and corn.
Hecelpts were 206 cars. There were no de
liveries on February contracts. Mny sold
between 25025'8C and 25',c and closed Vlf'ic
higher at 26"-ic.
Provisions were dull. The market opened
firm, In sympathy with n strong hog mar
ket, and advanced early on local buying,
mostly by shorts. More long stuff came
out on tho rise, however, and the market
reacted, closing fairly sfeiulv. May pork
sold between $13.9214 nnd ll4.071u nnd closed
a shade lower at $13.9214: May Inn! Between
$7 15 and $7.60, closing 214c higher at $7.45,
and May ribs between JG.97'4 nml $7.3214,
with the close unchanged nt $6.9714.

NEW YORK, Feb. l.-H. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say: The week In general business has been
without striking new feature, but In this
respect the outcome has ben favorable.
Not one of the .trent Industries r"port3
nny scarcity of orders for goods, nnd Imsl-
ncss is none nt prices wnicn sniw n sugni
tendency to rise, except In textiles, which
have been affected by the redu?tlon of
from 10 to 20 per cent In the senson's open
ing prices by the American Woolen com
pany. This cut Is expected to bo indellnltely
continued.
Developments In tho money market, how
ever, Indicate that the dry goods tra-la Is
preparing for a reason of activity and the
new woolen prices aro not lower than most
buyers expected.
There is nothing discouraging In tho
slight decline In commodity prices from
Jnnunry 1 to February 1, and rnllroad earn
ings continue Inrge, Increasing 11 1 pe? cent
for three weeks of January over last year
and 26.2 per cent over 1899.
New ork bank clearings for tho week
gr.'ned 48.3 per cent over 1900 nnd outside
New York the gain Is 10.8 per cent. There
Is a loss of .4 per cent outside New York
for tho week compnred with 1S99, but It 1.4
due to the fact that February settlements
were Increased In that yenr
While steel mills have contrncts on hard
for their output from three to six monthn
ahead, prices naturally rule firm. Few
actual advances nre recorded, but thero is
expectation of n higher figure scon for
Ilcssemcr pig Iron, while rumors nro nu
nvrous as to a rise In billets, platss and
structural materials. All those lines show
a brisk demand.
Wool nnd Cotton Conditions.
A sudden Increase In sales of wool nt the
three chief emtern markets to 5.112,000
pounds, ngalmit 2,S93,IW In the previous
week, does not appear Flgnltlcant. After
such an unusually dull .'cason some recov
ery was In order. For five weeks sales
were 1S.6S7.700 pounds, against 2S,573,9:I0 In
the same weeks of ISM, which wns tho
smnllest nggreg.ue In llvo years.
Theso figures Indicate presont conditions
In this Industry. Fven the imnll opora
tlcr.f wcro only accepted at a furthtr re
duction In quotations, tho average now
being the lowest since June, 1890. This In
terior holders are stubbornly refusing to
ntcept present prices. Heavyweight suit
ings wcro opened nt tho expected reduc
tion and another week of tho London auc
tion sales Is not expected to have nny ef
fect Cotton vagaries have not been re
garded with alarm by hplnners since n
temporary corner cannot have any Impor
Ian; effect In ihe commercial world. Some
mills sent their raw material to tho aid if
short-sighted Individuals who had sold co.
to:i they did not possess, though local
stocks wero known to be light, and tho
manlpu'atlnn of the Jau.iary option wns
rumored. For a few days middling uplands
sold at 12c. surpassing nil records for many
years, but with the end of tho Jnnunry
deal there was a decline to a more ra
tional position.

II HAHSTII HUT'S FINANCIAL REVIEW.
Money Plentiful Enough to Permit

NEW YORK. Feb. 1 nrndstrcet'B Finan
cial Review tomorrow will say:
Renewed strength was shown In the stock
market this week In spite of tho fact that
the much talked of and long expected deal
In regard to the St. Paul road proved to
have been more or less of a myth nnd thnt
the action of the Amerlcnn Steel nnd "Wlro
directors on Tuesday resulted In virtually
suspending nation as to tho dividends on
tho stocks nnd left the prospect In that
connection a matter of doubt.
Further gold shipments to Paris were
innde on Thursday to tho amount of (2,300,.
000, and tho continued rise of exchange
forced the conclusion thnt gold w!l go to
Loudon, tho position of the Rnnk of Eng
lnnd ns shown by Its weekly statement on
Thursday showing that It Is In need of
reinforcements for Its specie reserves.
Money, however, hns continued to come
to New York from the Interior nnd Wall
street, In view of last Saturday's good bank
statement and the favorable one which Is
nlso expected tomorrow, apparently con
cludes that money will remnln ensy and
plentiful ami thnt gold shipments will do
no hnrm. while thov wll' improvo tho posi

LONDON. Feb. 1. The demand for money
has slackened and the tension has relaxed
with tho urn of the month, though money
wos wanted for the consols settlement.

there disposition to close commitments.
Scotch rails were dull on talk of a strike

CATTLE Thero were only n few cattlo
on aulo today and most of those wore
rather or the common order, Thero was
but little change In tho prices paid, but
there was not much life to tho trade, as
buyers wern not particularly anxious for
tne general run 01 mo cattio ouereu.
Tho better grades of beef steers brought
good, steady prices today. There was ono
choice bunch that sold at what seemed to
be a good, strong prices, nut there lias ncen
nothing hero quite as good for some little
time. I'ackers seem to want the better
grades and nro willing to pay strong prices
for tnem, nut on tne common cntiin iney
nro Indifferent nnd do not tnke hold with
much lire. That was tne case today ami
sellers who had the half-fat and common
cattle found It rather difficult to move
them at what seemed satisfactory prices.
Taking (he week ns a whole, there has
been but little change In the steer market,
tho prices now being about tho same ns
nt tho closo of Inst week.
Good cows" nnd heifers todny aold In
fnlrly good shapo at Just nbout stendy
prices. Tho medium kinds nnd dinners,
howover, were bnrely stendy nnd the mnr
ket wns slow nnd uneven. Pnckcrs seemed
to hnvo about all of that class of cattle
thev care for this week and ns a result
they did not take hold with much Ilfo
nnd It was rather lato before the pens
wero cleared.
The stockcr nnd feeder trnde continued
In gcod shnpe todny, the desirable cattle
bringing good, llrm prices, Yard traders
havo very few cattle on hand nnd conse
quently aro willing to pay good, strong
prices ill oruer tu itei ciiuice cuttle, onu
stuff Is nlso commanding strong prices
where the qunllty Is up to tho proper
standard nnd the snme Is true of stock
bulls. Common stuff of all kinds is hold

HOGS-Thcre was a light run of boss
here, and ns a result tho market np.-nel
-HOfc higher than yesterday's general
'.,."ir.ko, I'"0 Urat sales vcro mostly at
J.(.2) and $5 221s, and from that up 10 to'.Tj.
J he demnnd was the best for the good
heavy weight hogs, and sellers four-d It
easy to dispose of that kind at right around
a nickel higher, hut the lightweights did
pot move as readily. It. wns not it par
ticularly nctlve mnrket. ns packers dIJ not
ike to pay the advanced prices. The mar
Ket livened up later on, however, and most
everything was sold In fainy good season
A row loads were left on the exlremt rlose
when packers had filled 'heir order, nnd
tho tendency was to buy inose a little
easier. As will be seen from tho table of
nvetoge prices. Ihe market tndnv ttver.ig'S
right around a nickel higher. Rcpresinirt-
