CHICAGO, Jnn. 17. 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.
Eestlmated receipts for tomorrow: Whent,

READJUSTMENT F PfllCES CONTINUED
General A crane of Staples and Se
curities Reaches an Extremely
Low Point, but .Manufactured
Products Are Not Disturbed
, NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-R. 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. This
week exports wero 4.348.431 bushels, against
3,408,250 a year ago.
corn declined snarpiy, dui sun remains
about 20 cents a bushel above the prlco
last year. Exports In December wero only
about ti per cent of tho outgo In the same
month of 1900, whllo for tho week Atlantic
ports sent out 12S,C74 bushels, against
4,265,330 bushels n year ago.
l'rovlslons weakened slightly, In sym
pathy with grain, yet tho higher level of
prices In December established a new
monthly record In value of exports. Great
activity occurred at tho Cofteo exchange,
whero speculators for a dccltno were suc
cessful, aided by enormous receipts at
Brazil ports and American stocks 150 per
cent larger than wero held a year ago.
Falluros for tho week numbered 334 In
the United States, against 325 last year,
nnd forty In Canada, against forty-three
lust yeur.
IIUADSTREET'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
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. Canadian failures for

MOVEMENTS OF STOCKS AND BONDS.
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

CATTLE The tendency of prices on all
kinds of cattle was downward today owing
to unfavorable reports from other points
and nlso to the fact that receipts were
qulto llbetal for thin time of the week. 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

HOGS There was a fairly liberal run of
hogs hero today, nnd the same as was tho
case yesterday, the quality was better than
usual. 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.
