The wheat marker haa during the Isst

downward tendency due to the bearlah sta
tistical Information and heavy selling auf

ah.irt Intereet. which la large, la In th
form of hedges sgslnst tssh grain held In
tore, and this la a big factor against an
advance.
In spite of the weakneea In wheat and
oata corn haa maintained a steady and
firm tone. I-esplte the liberal movement
to date stocks have not Increased a com
pared with a yaar ego. The situation la a
strong one and valuta might early advance.
There wa a firmer ton to covering by
ahnrta and firmer cables and reports of
export sales. Predictions of rain In the
aouthwest checked the advance. -ome ac
tive demand from outside milling interests
forced cash value up Sc.
The corn market ruled ateady to firm

little. Country offerings are not overly
free and receipts are light. Clearances are
heavy and the cash demand active with

CHICAGO. Keb. 4. Covering by nerv
oua short sellers who had overreached
themselves of late, Rave wheat an up
ward turn todav. In the end. however,
the tone waa weak, though the close was
ar a net advance of Wo to 'iSCSc. Corn
finished 'c to 'c down, oats He off
to a shade up, and provisions at i'-iC to
10c decline.
The sale of 100.000 bushelea of No. 2
red wheat for prompt shipments from
here to a Louisville miller had consid
erable to do with making shorts a bit
anxious. The rise here resulted, never
theless. In the working of CO, 000 bush
els of No. 2 hard from Kanaaa City to
Chicago and an offer of 100,000 bushels
additional. Many traders thereupon de
serted the bull aide and there was some
thing of a sinking spell during the laat
fifteen minutes of the aeaslon. Tills waa
In decided contrast wlUi the feeling at
1 the outset when lighter world shipments
twisted the market upwarda. Primary
receipts for the week were much lesa
than for the previous aeven days
far below of a year ago. May
ranged from D8c to 96 Vic and closed
c up at it flat.
The corn trade allowed little snap al
though larger ahorts covered. May
varied from KOGSOVsC to 60ae, clotting
weak,MVc down, at 60J0'c. Cash
corn was eaay. No. 2 yellow finished at
474c48.
i In oatn, selling, was ateady and of a
fairly Influential aort. High and low
points for May were S.H4c and33 in tZH,c.
with latest aalea a shade off at 83 fa 33 Vac
Hogs products were easy. The end
of the day left pork 8c to 10c lower
lard, down tHo to 2 H g 6c, and rlba
at &c decline

STKKI, PLANTS KAIRI.Y ACTIVE
Fifty-Five Per Cent of Capacity
AVorklaa This Week.
NEW YORK. Feb. 5-The steel com
panies are inclined to make much of the
fact that mill operations have increased
from 5 to 10 per cent since the low point
in December, not taking into account the
dip due to the recent holidays. On Monday
February 6, the steel corporation will have
55 per cent of its capacity active; last week
the furnace output was slightly over 50
per cent, against 46 per cent at the be
ginning of the year. The larger new orders
and specifications have permitted the In
creased activity. The sheet and tin plate
mills are operating slightly under 80 pet
cent, the wire mills a little over SO per cent
and the tube and bridge shops about 75
per cent. Orders and specifications for
wire have recently Increased to a little over
6.000 tons per day.
Much of the IncreaHe in business has
come from export trade. Including billets,
tin plate, bars, rails and wire, but from the
standpoint of profit such business Is not
to be paraded.
The railroad situation Is somewhat mixed.
Rail orders last week aggregated 171.000
tons, including 2.000 tons for export. The
domestic contracts were placed bv the New
Haven. Boston & Maine, Maine Central.
Lackawanna, Burlington. Rock Island and
Western Maryland. Locomotive orders
were very light, and Imiulrles for 8.0U0 cars
were withdrawn, but orders were placed
for 3.200 cars, and 1.000 more are to be con
structed at railroad shops.
Fabricated structural orders aggregated
about 23,000 tons, including 12.000 tons for
the Norfolk Western railroad bridge.
The shops expect some larger orders this
month.
The official report of the American lion
and Steel association shows the output of
pig Iron of all kinds In IfllO was 23.2HS.54r,
tons. The Steel corporation produced 57.4
per cent of the steel-making Iron, or 43.2
per cent of all kinds.
The pig Iron trade was conspicuous onlv
for dullness last week, with few Important
new inquiries In the market. Total sales
In sll districts were scarcely 5O.O11O tons
about half being in the eastern district.
COTTOX GOODS Rl'I.IKG Ql'IET
Slight Easing; 'Pendency la Print
Cloth tarns and Grays.
NEW YORK. Feb. 6.-The cotton goods
primary markets ruled quiet and with a
slight easing tendency in Print cloth varns
and gray goods at the end of the week
Most of the leading lines of napped cot
tons for fall delivery have been sold up
and withdrawn, notices to this effect hav
ing gone to the trade In the last few davs.
There la still a very fair demand for sta
ple prints and ginghams and for dress
fttnghams to retail below 15 cents a van!.
enims have sold more freely, but thero
Is complaint In this quarter because of
the inability to secure values in kceplne
with costs.
Tile local .lobbing trade Is doing a snt
Isfactory and steady business in domestics
prints and ginghams, while the call for
cottons In readv-to-wear goods has not m t
set in. Retail buyers are now coming Into
the market in larger numbers, and during
Cue coming few weeks it Is believed that
the jobbing house operations In miscellane
ous departments will broaden considerable.
The yarn markets rule quiet, with prices
Irregular and easy. I'nderweur "1 hosiery
have sold moderately well. The market
for drills and sheetings Is held fnlrlv
steady because of the refusal of agents lo
go on selling goods at great losses, but
the demand Is not in keeping with the
output and a further restriction of pro
duction is looked for until prices give
mills warrant to continue. Fine combed
yarn cloths are easy, but fine carded vain
goods have stiffened a little. Fall River
aold about 70.000 pieces of print cloths and
curtallrd the output about 70.(00 pieces.
Export .trade has been generally quiet.
Tht feeling in the trade la that values
cannot go much below present levels be
cause of the limited production and the
unwillingness of manufacturers to accept
further losses.

CATTLE There were no cattle of any
consequence here today, the receipts
amounting to almost nothing. For the
week receipts have been very liberal, show
ing a gain of over 6.000 head as compared
with the same week last year, but still
falling a little short of last week's big
run. The market from a seller's standpoint
has not been very satisfactory either here
or at other market points.
At the beginning of the week entile
showed some little strength, prices on Mon
day being quoted anywhere from steady to
as much as 10c higher In some esses. Com
mencing with Tuesday the tide turned and
values everywhere steadily worked down
ward. Buyers were enabled with the aid
of large receipts to bear down good and

tically all kinds of beef cattle. It would
take an extra good bunch of fat cattle at
the present time to bring as much as $6.25
with fair to right good kinds bringing $5.50
5.85. ,
Cows and heifers and for that matter
practically all kinds of butcher stock have
declined in about the same proportion as
beef steers, being generally quoted 25c
lower than last. week. Veal calves have
suffered even worse than that, being fully
60c lower than last week.
Good feeders and good stock cattle have
both sold to very good advantage through
out the week and jcomparatlvely little
change has taken place on that kind of
I atock. The best feedera have sold up as
nign as o.uo; me leisny mna of feeders,
such as packers and feeder buyers both
bid on have sold lower In sympathy with
the break on beet steers, the decline on
that kind in many cases amounting to
16-0 23c.

Trade haa been erratic, however, and pres

Fullv normal receipts during the week
have met rather uncertain demand and
dally clearances nave been more or less dif
ficult as a result. Bulk of supplies con
sisted of fed western stock, ss usual, and
long finish was the rule rather than the
exception.
Bearish feeling was pronounced from the

finishing In very good shape, oesirabie
handv wethers are quotable as high ss

strictly cnoice iu Luiiiumiiu eo.m hi present.
Lambs snow an average oreaK ot almost
a quarter lor me ween, mis reduction be
ing warranted by cheaper cost and slack
retail demand In the east. Choice grades
are closing around $6.80. but heavier classes
were avoided at all times and found an
outlet only through the support of country
buvers. More activity was evident In the
demand from this source and competition,
such as It was, helped much in making
clearances.

NEW TORK. Feh. 8 -Fresh growth ot
confidence In the promise of the prosper
ous outlook for business wss reflected In
the renewed uplift of prices and expansion
of activity In the stock market last week.
Two Incidents of the week were of domi
nant effect In shaping speculative . senti
ment, the statement of the program of
Improvement of the t'nlon Pacific snd
the supplementary snnouncement of Chair
man Gary of the I'nlted States Steel cor
porstlon with the quarterly statement of
earnings.
The decision of the 7'nlon raclflc man
agement to proceed with the double track
ing of the svstem by the expenditure ol
$75 000.000. extending over the next fl '
years, swept Into the Background moat ol
the misgivings over railroad conditions
which still remained This program snd
the expression of confidence by the chair
man of the Cnlon Pacific board proclaimed
a sense of security for the futuro which
Is not impaired by the still undecided ques
tion of railroad rate Increases, the anti
trust cases before the supreme court and
the suit for the dissolution of the Union
Inctflc and Southern Pacific si stems. Ap
proach of the time for decision of these
questions threatened to bring them Into
force ss repressive inftnanna
clnl program. The In Ion Pacific announce
ment proved a timely fsctor. whether de
signedly or not, In counteracting this In
fluence. Market for Securities.
Restored confidence on the psrt of tail
road managements may be trared to ths
ready absorption ot new capital issues.
Issues of new securities In Jsnimrv wen
$2A60,000 In the New York money msrket.
a new high record for that month.
The prevailing sentiment of speculation
was signalized in the resolute way In which
the poor showing of the December quarter
of the t nlted States Steel earnings waa
Ignored In favor of the announced Improve
ment since the first of the year. This
statement said that the daily average of
booking of new orders for the corporation
had risen In January to SO.000 ton. Com
pared with 32.000 tons In November ami
December.
