Renewed confidence and general Rood feeling characterized thu trude In grulns toduy. From tlio start grains unu provisions wero given Rood Blip port, liven tnough business wan quiet. May wheat closed n Hhada lower. May corn Ho higher and May oatH Ho up. Provisions hail net gains of from be to 17ftc. Barring; several active spurts, wheat ruled quiet throughout thu day. At the start May hud a steady tono on the In fluence of Improved cables und dry weather reports. Opening prices wero ',4c, lower to Vic higher nt eOftc to SOftc. Foreigners wero reported buying liberally In futures, but cash business was scarce. Attcr yes terday's trade thcro won not much ot a disposition to take n position one way or the other. The public naturally held oft for some tlmu after such a disturbance. The result wus a trade largely local. Shortly after the opening the weather bureau predicted rain for some of the whoat states and prices at once slid off to 7a for May. Skeptical bulls mado Just as quick a turn and shoved tho price up again to SOftc. 8horts also covered freely and commission houses took advantage of low prices, llaln talk and lower closing cables pressed prices back to the low marx again, but tho support was sulllclent to bring a steady closo for May, a shado lower nt SOftysoftc. Local receipts were 25 cars, ono of contract grade, and Minneapolis and Duluth roportcd 414 cars, a total for tho three points of 4.1V cars, against G79 last week und 291 a year ago. Argentine ship ments showed a heavy falling off 36.OU0 bu. for the week, against 618,000 the corre sponding week last year. 1'rlmary re ceipts were 6.14,000 bu., against 662,000 a year ngo. Clearances equaled 111.000 bu. The Hcaboard reported 30 loads taken for export. Corn In Rcncral found good support. The opening was somewhut Improved on cables and the wheat Inlluoncc. The cash market had also Improved. Early a rather broad bull movement got under way, tempted by tho low prices. Local receipts, too, wero small enough to bo bullish, in spite of tho talk of freer country offerings, It seems that corn did not move this way rapidly. On the rain news for wheat, May corn sold back to 63c, but professional buying at once sent It up again to 64c. Scalpers and a few commission houses did tho gelling. Toward tho end profit-taking and tho easier feeling In wheat lost corn some of Its strength, but May closed firm, ftc higher, nt 63ic. Receipts wero 65 cars. Outs wero Arm and quiet, supportrd well by professional traders. In general It showed considerable Independence of tho other grains. Tho early demand was In July, but later tho bulk of .the trade was for May. -Prices fluctuated within a range of ftc. The better cash situation was the leading Influence. May closed Arm, ',4c HP, nt 45fto. ltecclpts were 122 cars. Provisions had a dull but firmer market. Thcro was a moderate demand to start with and prices at tho yards wero better. Prices yielded a few polntH on tho grain sags, hut local buying, especially for ribs, brought a good advance all round. May pork closed 17ftc higher at J17.05, May lard be tip at $9.72ft and May ribs 6fa7ftc ad vanced at $8.651f8.07ft.

G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: Readjustment of prices continued during the second week ot January nnd tho gen eral average reached a much lower point than prevailed when tho year opened. Manufactured products were scarcely dis turbed, but botn staples and securities suf fered. Business conditions are sound, liberal distribution and prompt payment being reported except at a few southern cities. Cotton still falls to command a prlca proportioned to the estimated crop and as a consequence tho return to growers Is In sulllclent to sustain business at the rate established by the previous year's profitable yield. Transporting Interests nro less be hind with deliveries and railway earnings for the Arst week of January show gains of 7.16 per cent over last year's phenomenal figures and 14.7 over llnX). Nothing has transpired to disturb the bright outlook In tho Iron and steel In dustry. Deliveries of fuel aro less delayed und furnaces nro operated fully, while mills receive material with a fair degree of promptness. Quotations nre maintained firmly, especially for pig Iron, which Is In great demand. Large contracts havo been placed for Bessemer at $16.50 on Pittsburg deliveries In June. Spot sales In small quantities are much higher. Structural material Is taken almost eagerly and more foreign bridge contracts are reported. Billets cannot bo had In sulllclent bulk from producers, so that Imports from Ger many are solJ ut Youngstown for $27.50. The production of pig Iron on January 1, according to tho Iron Age, was 298,400 tons, against 324,761 at tho high point on Do comber 1. During tho last two weeks con ditions havo Improved so rapidly that tho present rate of output Is probably at about the top point. Stocks at tho furnaces showed a further decrease to 216,137 tons on Janunry 1. Snles of copper nre matin at 11 cents, which makes a somewhat striking comparison with the 60 ,per cent higher figures of a few weeks ago. Footwear producers havo at last mado a general advance of from 2V4 to 5 cents. Wholesalers havo not altered lists. Hides nre weaker, which Is natural at this season, wnen tne quality deteriorates, biocks ot cotton goods nre not burdensome and de mands gradually expand with the advanc ing season, especially for fine grades. Heavy nrown goous are sieauy, 001 n on nomo nnd domestic demands. Woolen goods aro lower than expected, nnd purchases wero retarded rather than stimulated by tho de clines. Changes wero few and small, yet there had been such confldence In a higher level that tho trade hesitated. Woolen nnd worsted yarns tend upward. Grain' reacted sharply from the high point nnd a large western operator was caught with more thun ho could carry. Forced liquidation of this long account forced liquidation of manipulators for a decline. Another unsatisfactory fcaturo was the recent falling oft In foreign de mand, olllclal Agurcs for December show ing smaller exports ot wheat than for any month of tho calendar year, although for six months of the calendar year thcro ap pears a gain of fjO.OCO.OOO bushels over tho corresponding months of 1900 or 1899.

Usual Jnnnnry Weakness In All Com modities .Makes Ita Appearance. NEW YORK. Jan. 17.-Bradstrcofa to- morrow will say: Tho usual "January tnaw ' in prices ar rived this week and securities, food prod ucts, particularly tho cereals, nork and dairy products, coffco nnd sugar among tho groceries and copper among tho metals, have all weakened and closed lower on tho week. Tho causes for this movement havo been In many cases technical and the gen eral trade situation has not on tho whnlo been weakened. If anything, In fact. Im provement may bo expected to follow. striking example of this being In the cerenls. High prices hud killed oft export trade, but this seems to havo revived this week on tho decline. In distributive trade tho situation has certainly Improved. A larger spring business has been done in cotton nnd woolen goods. Advices from tho west aro of an enlarged spring trade and collections remain satisfactory. North western advices are particularly good. Trade In tho southwest continues satisfac tory, but the lack of needed moisture for the winter wheat crop Is a disturbing cle ment, tending to dull the edge of trade. it is to no noted niso mat rain is neenea In the wheat-growing sections of Cali fornia. More Is doing In leading eastern textile mnrkets, prints nnd ginghams mov ing well with jobbers, while a good busi ness is also reported In woolen goods, though tho new prices made are rather lower than expected. There, Is even soma Improvement noted in southern trade, largely tho result of tho firmer tono of the raw cotton. Among tno industrials, iron anu steel are still easily II rat In the volume of new busi ness and In production, although the car shortngo is shown to have materially re duced tho Doccmber output of pig Iron. Sales of the latter this week have been very heavy, fully 160,000 tons having been taken, most of It nt Pittsburg and tho bulk of It for delivery In tho latter part of tho yenr. Prompt deliveries command a premium and the same Is true uf steel billets. Con servatism In tho matter of advancing pig Iron prices Is still noted. Southern produc ers announce that they will discourage any advance of, $12 for No. 2 at Birmingham. Conservative plans may be disarranged If tho scarcity becomes more acute. Pre dictions of advances In foundry nnd char coal grades nro confirmed by price changes this week. Finished products tend higher, Copper has been "cut to tho bono" this week and llo Is the nomlnnl price, but claims aro mado of sales as low as lOVio withnnt anv particular Improvement In do- fmand reported, although exports aro large. Tho boot and snoe inuusiry iooks lorwuru conlldcntly to an actlvo spring business. Although tho question Is not settled It Is generally expected that prices will go Filcher. Tho cereals have been active and excited. Liquidation by disappointed longs was a featuro cany, ono prices crumbled, nlded by tho suspension of a prominent western operator and bear rumors of fur ther troubles. iTnHatisfnctorv whent cron advices, not enough moistures being reported at the west and southwest, wero the sustaining features later, but tne main element Beems 10 nave tho reawakening of a better export demand for wheat at the lower levels. Flour acted In sympathy with wheat and here nlso a better export demand nppenra to have been evoked. Corn and oats went oft In sym pathy, but these cereals are still above ex port levels. Wheat, Including flour, exports for the week aggregate 4,690,203 bushels, against 3,697,710 last week and 3,336,054 In this week last year. Wheat exports, July 1 to date (twenty-nlno weeks) aggregato 108,004,473 bushels, as against 106,163,694 last season. Corn exports aggregato 298,093 bushels, as against 136,873 last week and 6,181,650 last vear. July 1 to dato corn exports are 21, 255.717 bushels, against 107,730,760 InBt season. Business failures In the United States for tho week number 291, against 396 last week, ivO In this week- last year, 255 In 1900, 262 In 1899 und 309 In 1838.

Market Shows Itenevred Activity and Increased Strength. NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Thcro was In creased activity In tho stock market and a show of strength, but tho dealings did not rlso much over 500,000 shares and wero largely consented in tho few stocks which wero favorites In speculation. Statements were circulated as to tho phenomenal earn ings of tho anthracite carriers, which wero asserted to reach 13 and 20 per cent for the lending high-priced stocks. No difficulty was found In marking up these stocks, nnd thero was a heavy demand nt the samo tlmo for the lower priced stocks In tho group, especially tho Readings. There were resulting ndvanccs in Iackawanna of It points, New York Central, ex-dlvldcnd, 3i, Reading 2H and other members of tho group 1 to 2 points. The movement wns extended In some measure by sympathy to some of tho soft coalers. Thero wns continued strength in the southwestern railroads as a group at ndvanccs ot 1 to 3 points. Such conspicuous stocks as Sugar, Amalgamated Copper. General Electric and tho local tractions showed gains ot 1 to 2 points. American Tobacco gained another 3o points, selling nt 235. with a later bid at 245. This Block is exchangeable at par for 200 Consolidated Tobacco 4s. Thero Is said to be loss than 5 per cent of tho stock still outstanding. American Tobacco pre ferred gained 6 and tho Consolidated com pany ft bonds were strong and active, late in the day St. Paul was bid up quickly nearly 2 points and other grungcrs and Pa clllca hardened In sympathy. This late movement was the effectlvo factor In keep ing tho closing firm, as a wavering ten dency hnd developed before St. Paul's rise. Tho railroad bond market was nctlva nnd strong, mortgages of railroads In tho southwest being In particular favor. Total sales, par value. $1,075,000. United States bonds wero all unchanged on tho last cull. Tho Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says: American stocks wero dull and Idlo nil day, but In tho street New Yoik bid up tho coalers and Union Pacific a point. Copper was steady at 46ft tho ton. Monoy Is jasy and tho bank may reduce tho discount to 3'4 per cent of tho noxt return. Is good.

Tho market, however, was fairly active and the bulk of tho offerings was disposed of In good season. A few bunches of steers sold at right around steady prices this morning, but after tho Arst round packers wero bidding generally IVinOa lower. The greatest de cline wns, of course, on the less destrnblo grades and light cattle lit particular wero hard to move. It was an uneven market, however, so thorp wns considerable varia tion In tho prices paid. Tho cow market was also lower today and vi ry unoven. Tho genornl market could do quoted all tho way from steady to 15c lower. Tho better grades brought right cioso to steady prices, particularly on tho opening market, but aside from a few oarly sales tho bulk of tho stuff sold tyfilOc lower ana in extreme cases, tne Kinds selling bo low $3.00. wero 16c lower. Trado was fairly active, though, at the decline, so that tho pens were cleared In good season. Bulls wero also a little lower than they were yesterday and the samo was true of stags. Veal calves showed very little cnange rrom yesterday. Receipts Included oulto n few stackers and feeders and an Is very apt to bo tho caso toward tno cioso ot tne week buyers would not tnko anything unless thev could get It for less monoy. Common kinds of came wero very nnrd to movo today, bat 1110 iiceinie wouin oe covered in tne ma- Jorlty of cases by GSflOc. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. No. Av. Pr. No. Av.

Tho weights nre also Imprdvlng qulto rapidly. Tho market opened with buyers bidding a Itttlo lower than yester day, but thoy did not get tho hogs, nnd when more favorable reports came front Chicago packers started In and bought tho bulk of tho receipts nt right nroiind steady prices. In snmo cases the market looked stronger, nnd nn occasional sale wns 6c higher. After trading was fairly well tinder way tho hogs changed hands rapidly, so that tho big end of the receipts wns disposed of i.t good season. The lighter and more common hogs wero left until tlm Inst,' so that the close of the market wns not as nctlve. Good weight hogs sold largely from $6.25 to $6.4S. Medium weights In most cases brought from $6.15 to $6.25, nnd tho lighter loads sold from $6.10 down.
