week's political or industrial devel
opments with a hearing on the finan
cial futuie, .everal were pitively
favorable, notue were, favorable in a
negative way and one or two others
would ordinarily be regarded a un
favorable. The rie in both wheat
and corn to the higher prices since
the crops of V2 were harvested
representing an advance, respec
tively, of 3. and J5 per cent from the
low prices of a few weeks ago is an
incident which has relaxed the pres
sure of hard limes on the west.-as
the autumn recovery in cotton
prices relaxed it on the south.
Loadings of freight ears on an tnc
railways of the country have plainly
indicated at least a temporary turn
for the better.
Thus far in 1VJ they have in
creased so steadily that the latest
weekly figures are almost matching
those ot l-ti and arc running

In 1921. a hank rate or 7 per cent was

Iron and Steel Demand.
Tho fluctuating demand for Iron and
steel does not obscure tho fact that the
basis Industry Is gradually working into
a.- atronger position. While new com
mitment, decreased this week, recent buy
ing was of sufficient volume to effect
a further slight gain In output, and the
rata of operations at some steel works
now exceeds 60 per cent. With few ex
ceptions, current purchases are for re
plenishment only; but moderate-sized
transactions are increasingly numerous,
and present and prospective railroad re
quirement aftord encouragement. Aside
from .ales of 23.000 tun. of rails, an or
der for 2,000 cars ha. been placed in 1hr
east, and inquiries in the west aggregate
fully 8,000 cars. There is promise, more
over, of additional export business
seml-finlshed steel, while a 17,000-ton
contract with the far east has aires dv
been closed. Despite indications that
buyers needs are becoming more pressing,
yielding of prices continues, downward
revisions appearing this week In published
quotations ot both pig Iron and steel.
Cotton Goods Price.
While general cotton goods trading
dontinues in moderate volume, some quick
ening of demand in primary channels has
followed the naming of lower prices, con
cessions have been granted by Jobbers in
the west and elsewhere, and It Is evi
dent that the firmness of raw cotton has
not offset the effect of labor troubles at
New England mills, where about 2,000,000
spindles are Idle. Despite the mainten
ance of raw wool prices on the higher
level recently established, fabric markets
are holding barely steady, and conspicu
ous unsettlement in Bilk goods has re
sulted from the continued speculation in
raw material in Japan. In all domestic
centers, conservative operations in textiles
are still the rule and the matn tendency
is toward curtailment of production, even
where strikes are not a factor. Similar
conditions prevail abroad, with reports
from Kngiand Indicating that half of the
cotton looms usually employed on goods
for export are now Idle, Jute .101118 in
Calcutta, moreover, are running only four
ay a week, and yet are accumulating
stock in excess of order.
Hide and leather.
Irregularities in the hide and leather
situation continue, with fluctuating de
mand and prices, snd with conservatism
everywhere manifest. Another week o
quiet trading In domestic packer hides
has caused some easing of prices, while
other descriptions of raw material
lack activity in the markets here, and
most tanners are less disposed to meet
sellers' views as to prices. .Sizable trans
actions In River Plate frigorifico steers,
however, have recently been effected,
mainly with United States buyers, and it
is believed that Borne sole leather inter
ests who are short of supplies are stock
ing up on these superior-quality foreign
hides. Latest official returns disclose
reductions in holdings of most kinds of
hides, but a further slight increase has
occurred in the supply of sole leather, de
spite considerable curtailment of produc
tion. With restricted purchases by shoe
factories, business in sole leather contin
ues backward, although demand has in
creased slightly tn certain quarters.

Om.b He I e-aad M ir.
CliicaRo, Feb. I'A Wheat prices,
and practically all Kiaiu. are about
the bin hot of the season, with indi
cation of an irregular advance, as
the tendency of the world's jtrain
value appears to be upward.
The wheat itttiation is the most
interesting the trade has known.
It is a world's proposition and the
advance in prices in all markets is
based on the unusually close adjust
ment of supplies to requirements.
There has been a reduction in nun
plies of Canada, Argentina and Aus
tralia of approximately 75.0UO,Ot)0
bushels from the early estimated
surplus which briiifts that of the
world down to a probable carryover
of 2S.0tKJ,W0 to .W.OOO.OOO bushels,
which is entirely too small consid
ering present crop prospects in lead
ing countries. Under such condi
tions values are responding to the
light offerings and an adjustment
ot futures to cash markets is under
way.
Decline Temporary.
A clou tudnt vb'W th whct it
uation the action of price In any of th
American market or Winnipeg, declin
ing t only a temporary local condition
which aloe, not affect the world. lt
ustlnn. While decline r to b. expected
every few day., they ar. not regarded
a. likely to laat. An advance of almost
4o In May wheat from th. low point In
November to th. highest of the aon
last week, $1.42 V, ha. been mad with
comparatively few reactlona.
Foreigner hav. allowed their stocks of
wheat and flour to run down and they
are unusually small. Rus.la I. taking
wheat from th. United Stat, and Ar
gentina, and It I. estimated that mor
than SO per cent of the 92. 000.000 bush
el, new crop surplus of Argentina tins
already been sold for export. Australia
and Canada hav also sold a targe per
centage of their surplus anil th. United
States I regarded as on a domestic ba
sis and every bushel hereafter sold for
oxport reduces the possible carry over
July 1.
Crop Outlook Important.
One of the most Important factors In
tha wheut situation from now on is the
ciop outlook in th southwest, where
drouth prevails over th greater part of
the largest producing sections where the
surplus i. rslsed. In the mlddlewen the
ciop 1 in fair to good condition, with
some los. from thawing, freezing and
heaving. Unlet good rains come in th.
near future, crop confltllona are expected
to become worse rapidly.
In Europe conditions are spotted. Rus
sia 1. not expected to hav. any more
gialn than It' actually need for con
sumption this year, and from present
indications, the world' production Is not
regarded as likely to be above reqquire
ments. With, no reserves the world over,
good prices should b assured for th
urai inunillB.
The corn market is regarded a pos
sessing unusual possibilities. With wheat
advancing and foreigners taking cash
corn freely, with prospect of their con.
tlnulng. the general Imnr.a.in. tk.
trad, is that corn has been too low and
that values should work considerably
higher.

Rewards or Protection?
You would gladly offer a reward for the return
of your watch, your jewelry or your valuables if
stolen, wouldn't you?
Yet every day thousands of dollars worth of just
such articles are stolen and rewards are offered,
which nine times out of ten fail to bring
any returns.
Instead of putting your faith in Rewards, put a
smaller sum in Burglary Insurance, and you will
not only have ease of mind, but a guaranteed
pocketbook.
