Selling Oeenre "eon After the Opening by Brokers Representing: St. lanls In t errata Preaal eat Chirac Long; Holders. 8 CHTCAOO, Feb. 7. Bears took advantage 'of the dullness In It rain speculation today and the desire of corn traders to sell, nnd grossed ail I the pits for lower prices. At Uie close May wheat had lost He, May corn l"to and May oata lilo. Provisions closed bit 12Vc lower. Corn started slightly firmer on cables, which resoondfd to yesterday's local im provement. There were a few buying orders out nd May opened unchanged to Ho higher at 6SVulVc. Milder weather snd very slack business soon began to turn sentiment and the bears took control of the market. At no time did the market get above th opening prices snd with the arrival of small bits of bearish, news sell Ins; became rather popular. Rains were re ported at Argentine and Kansas City was having a weak market. Heavy selling de veloped soon after the opening hour by brokers said to represent St. Louis Inter ests and those of prominent local long holders. A bad break ensued and prices were at the bottom at the close. May, weak. lV4c lower at 62He. Receipts. 82 cars. Wheat wss dull ncaJn all day and ruled Weak under the depressing corn Influence. At ths opening a slightly better cash de mand, especially from Antwerp, and a mall demand for short covering, helped prices a shade. May started a shade to pfco up st 784o to Th'iftKSc, but soon turned tiasv. There was almost a total absence of outside business and tbe dullness favored bearish sentiment The corn break was the prime factor. May fluctuated rather nar rowly, after It sold off to TT. The close was weak. May Ho lower at 77H8'77e. Re ceipts were 14 cars, none of contract grade. Minneapolis snd Duluth reported 261 cars, a total for the three points of 276. against MO Inst week snd 384 a year ago. Pmnry re ceipts were 3S6.U00 bushels, compared with 4(.OoO the same day last year. Seaboard clearances equaled 444.Ci.iO bushels, compared with 675.010 last year. Argentine shipments were &f$.ono bushels for the week, against l,49fl.ono last year. Oats were at their highest prices at the I opening. Trade was almost dead at the 1 start. May opening at 44Sc. The trading was confined almost entirely to the local crowd. Boms small covering on the de cline steadied the weakening markets at times. May sold off and touched 43'4a, closing weak, Viplo lower at 48Vo. Re- celpts, BO cars. Provisions were weak at the opening on large receipts and lower prices at the yards. Iater packers bought liberally and the market recovered a part of the loss. The craln weakness had only slightly de pressed Influence. May pork closed 12Vo lower at 115.90, May lard fflrtHo lower at j 47V.iiis.eo and May tins so down at x mv.

NEW YORK. Feb. 7.-R. O. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow win say: Interruption to rnllwsv traffic and out door work by severe storms wss the only unfavorable factor In the business sltustlon during the past week, while manufacturing activity Increased and distribution thrmiah retail channels was undiminished. Reports from the west are especially encouraging. but a few southern points ars slow to ex hibit imnrovement. Railway ear-nines continue tneir reeora of Increase for January, gaining 7.2 per cent over last year and 24.2 per cent over 1900. The fourth week's earnings wers somewhat reduced bv bad weather. famine conditions exist in tne mnricei for pig Iron. It Is doubtful whether there was ever a time In the history of the nation when this metal was so scarce. Consider ing the fact that production during 1901 was far beyond ell previous records, the present shortage gives indisputable evidence of the unprecedented rate at which the mills have peen consuming. He Tendency to Inflate Prices. Controlling Interests denrecate sll tend encies to Innate prices, recognizing the fact that the continued heavy consumption Is dependent upon ouotstlons held at a reason- aDie point, mevertneiess, 11 aeuvenes are wsnted before July 1 It Is often necessary to psy a premium and consumers have been compelled In some Instanoea to place orders anroRd. Efforts are belna' made to repurchase iron sent abroad last year, since that may evade the duty. German billets are still arriving, but the -market also is advancing. which will tend to check the movement. Structural supplies are utterly Inadequate and ths action of the Chicago council re pealing the ordinance UmiUtiK the height 01 cunnings has placed many new con tracts on the market. Railways are no urgent for supplies that an order for rails may go abroad. In the light of these reports It Is not surprising tnat exports 01 iron ana steei iaii on. Shoe Shops Generally Active. Activity. Is R-eneral at shoe shops, par ticularly at the west, and New England factories are shipping at the rate of V per cent more man last year. o concessions are made from the recent advance, but there are still buyers who prefer to accept a poorer quality at old prices. Hemlock sole Is the best supported leather and llcht- weights are in short supply. While soma hides at Chlcaao are aaaln easier in price. there Is evidence of some improvement in the situation. Moderate supplies continue the best fea ture as to cotton goods ana mere is no pressure to sell. Print cloths have risen slightly and all lines are firmly held. Ex porters are oiaains ior coarsv coiorea cot tons, but in these, as In most grades, buy ers and sellers are far apart In their views of the right price. The situation appears to favor noiaers. Erratlo Flnetaatlons of Cerenls. Compared with the erratic course of ths cereals during the preceding month or two, produce markets have been nulet this week. Dullness and lack of special innuences were not productive of weakness, former quotations being stubbornly maintained. In the case of corn there are many ex pressions 01 laitn in lower prices, witn sg grezelve speculation on the short side There was no support in Atlantic exports of iZ2.9t3 Dunneis, compared witn ,9i3,4&2 a year ana Heavy storms curtailed the in terior movement to 1.39Z.699 bushels, against 6,016,886 last year. Exporters of wheat evince a disposition to wait for easier terms, but shipments of old order were 4.497.4S6 bushels, against 4.330.981 a year ago, Among tne otner staples, cotton received little support, notwithstanding liberal port receipts. Final returns of commercial failures dur ing January exhibit an exceptionally large number of insolvencies and also an unusual amount of defaulted liabilities. In manu faoturing lines there were 264 failures, in volving $6,308,948, on Increase of $1,607,964 over the liabilities last year. Defaulting traders numbered 1.120. with liabilities of 87.116.972. an Increase of 173 in number and 81,806,168 In amount. Miscellaneous failures were fifty In number and $885,561 In 11a billtles. exceedlna- January. 1901. by ten In number, but showing a decrease of $331,442 in oeiauiten naoiuues. BRADSTREET9 REVIEW OF TRADE. Balk ef Commercial Developments Dnrlngr the Week Is Favprable, NEW YORK. Feb. 7. Bradstreet'g to morrow will say: Trade develonmenta this week have been largely favorable. All (he measures of legitimate trade point to January equaling In most respects and exceeding In many the records of a year ago. Failures, It is tru.e were laraer In number, but the In crease was all at the south, from which trade reports nave been poor, put snow a slightly more hopeful trend, since cotton nas taken its upward movement. The seneral level Of prices moved silently downward during January owing to lower prices 01 speculatively aeait in cereal and nog products and a heavy decrease ln crude rubber and some chemicals. Most of the decline In food products has been re covered since February 1. The close of the week finds a confident feeling prevailing In tures in which have been the enlarged buy- nearly an lines 01 oistrioutive traae, iea Ing by southern and southwestern Jobbers at Chicago, and other western cities. Ths southern drouth has been entirely broken by additional snowfall. Demand Is again passing production In Iron asl steel. There Is a virtual famine alike of crude pig iron and of liniahed prod ucts of steel. Extremely cold weather and snows have hampered merchant iron fur naces In western Pennsylvania and some have had to be banked. Pig Iron sales In January at Pittsburg were the heaviest In any month for a year past. Premiums of 50 cents per ton on pig Iron are paid east snd west, a southern railway has gone abroad for its steel rails, Canadian steel billets are reaching Pittsburg and a brisk Importing movement is looked for. This has promptly been reflected In advances at foreign markets. Hardware Is very active at nearly all markets. Copper, after Its ran ana no less excitea rise, nas steadied at slight advance on last week. Tin and lead axe also higher. ' The world s statistics of wheat move ment have been on the whole rather bul lish this week and coupled with cold weather caused some strengthening. The volume of business has been of a scalping character. Toward the close of ths week some export lnoulry develooed In wheat. Ths msrctln In favor of the cash article has widened during tne last six weekr. and the actual stun- is really higher thau a month ano. Flour Is in better denvind ar St. Louis. Corn and oats have nuctuated within narrow limits. Hog products have advanced with the coarse grains and also because of tne receipts hogs being small Wheat exports. Including flour, for the week aggregate 4,800,457 bushels, as against S.7ir2,368 last week and 4.997,813 In this week last year. Wheat exports July 1. 1901, tu tliite (thirty-two weeks) aKKregate 170.146.- 97 bushels, as against ll9,T6,l8a last season, Corn exports sggregate it9,l4o buaheis. as alnst 427.016 last week and 2.487.707 last vert r .1 1 1 1 W I 19ll. to liu 1. corn .murl, u r , 1.. . . . . .

The bulls in cotton found a lonr looked- for opportunity this week In the reduced movement of supplies from the Interior, part of which was conceded to be due to cold weather. Additional strengthening features have been the cneerful tone of foreign snd domestic trsde reports snd the strensthenlng of print cloths. Buyers snd sellers of staple cotton, however, continue apart, and sales are not heavy. The contrary la true in tne lobbing branch, particularly In prints and ging hams. Ths latter are heavily sold ahead In all departments. Plain dress woolens have held their favorable position of pre vious weeks, but a strike or a few woolen mill hands near Providence has rendered a large number or operatives idle. A good trade in linens and sliks la also renorted at New York. Raw wool has remained steady on moderate demand arid restricted sup plies. Recent Ixndon wool sale prices are about on a parity with our markets. The spring demand lor pools and shoes Is still not active, tnougn more Is doing at Philadelphia. Trade is reported slow at Chicago snd only gradually opening up at Beaton. Shipments from the east during January were 10 per cent in excess of a year ago. leather remains steady. In fair demand, deaplte the weakening In prices of hi. lea. Demand lor sugar remains low and pi-ires sre without material change un ths week, while Increased weight ef coffee sup plies has caused unother reduction in that iir.HiUf-t.

' MOVEMENTS OF STOCKS AXD BO" ' Prices Higher and Snecnlstl As- Basses m Healthier Tone. NEW YORK. Feb. 7. The movement of prices In today's stock market became higher and the tone healthier. Lackawanna lumped 8 points on too of yesterday s loss of nearly 5 points, and Northwestern dropped i points, without recovery. Lack awanna rallied 6 points. There was a notable pressure to realixe profits In South ern Paclflc, In which the dealings con tinued on a large scale. Amalgamated Copper was about the only atnek In the list that showed depression. Its loss at one time extended to 2H points, but this wss reduced by a rally to 114 points. The principal factor of strength was Illinois Central, which advanced an extreme 8H-n tne volume ot aeanngs; very unusual in hat rather closely held security. The favorable showing of the great corn-carrying railroads for December, as In the case of the Burlington and Rock Island, slso helped to strengthen this class. There was an energetic buying movement later In Atchison. The bond market was irregular. Total ssles. par value. 83.870.000. United States old 4s advanced 2'4 per cent on ths lasA call. The Commercial Advertiser a London financial cablegram says: Stocks today were fairly active and cneeriui, reviving Interest In Kaffirs. American shares were brisker, save In the case of Southern Pa cific, where proni-iaking causea some heaviness. Denver A Rio Grande was in demand and Union Pacific was good.
