MORE INQUIRIES THAN SALES
About Sums Up the Present Condition OF the
Chicago Iron Market.

About Sums Up the Present Condition oil the
Chicago Iron Market.
CHICAGO May 2O-[Specia.l l-Rosers, Brown
& Merwin say: A moderate amount OF ton
mage booked, with continued numerous in
Quiries, describes the market during the
past week. Some good-sized contracts have
been placed, deliveries in many cases run
ming to Il months. These have been on
the part of consumers, satisfied that prices
can 90 no lower, and that any fluctuations
are likely to be in an upward direction
There is no change in the position OF pig
manufacturers. Their view is that the con-
ditions are all healthy: that production Is no
longer in advance of CONSUMPTION: that the
cost of manufacture has been nearly or
quite reached, and that rather than
make further cuts in prices they prefer 70
accumul.. .tn stocks. Meanwhile, the amount
of iron III the hands of consumers Is grow
ing less, and the time when free buying
movement must set in is being hastened.
Many astute buyers realize the sltnatlon,
and are quietly securing options and guar
anteed quotations covering the longest de-
liveries obtainable. While no further sag
ging of prices seems to be probable, there
are on the otEer hand few indications point
ing to any material change during the next
four months. Lake Superior cl!arcoals con-
tinue to constitute one of the most interest
ing departments. The position of the lead
ing furnace companies is unchanged. While
large buyers are still talking SIG Chicago,
many are quietly closing at the market fig
ures which remain SIC IS to Sl7. The indica-
tons are that these figures will be main
tanned, as the existing conditions are all
against a lower range OF prices.

ume of business will show up better this
week than last. Retailers know full well
that prices are now down to bedrock, and in
this faith are laying in heavy supplies. Cof-
fees are a shade frner than for some time
past. The advance in corn has stiffened
prices of corn syrup, and an advance has
already been made at sources of supply.

Take Fright-A Blizzard Following on
the Heels of the Flood Does. tho Mis-
chief-wheat Nervous.
CHICAGO-Wilder clamor and excite =
ment over scarcity of grain and provisions
than was witnessed to-day on Change
could scarcely be imagined in starving Rus
sia. Short sellers, big and little, were in q
panic. The price of May corn shot up 7c
and closed within 1c of the top. The July
option gained SIC. Wheat is up 2ssc, and
pork lard and ribs are respectively 60c 15c
and 17115c higher. A blizzard following dis
astrous rain floods for month was the hor-
ror.
Corn was agitated from the start and an
immense volume of business was transacted
The opening found the crowd anxious and
offerings light. The trade had none to sell
to meet so great demand. Every message
on the floor was discouraging. The May
price held at 5jAc at the start, went to SIC
and on to 5sc as soon as bidding began. and
sellers held it at soc. June was quoted ut
461a@4713c, and sellers offered it at 49c on tho
early bulge. July was at 45@4514c at the
start, went to 1910, back to Acc. and then
hour there was a let up in the nantcky feel
ing, and July dropped back to 1870. Later
the price jumped to 471ac in few minutes.
This owed the excitement, and May sold
quite freely at 6Oc, jumped to Gle. and went
on to &c before o'clock. June was quoted
at 1870 at the same time while July passed
the N1Sn point OF the morning ana went
squarely up to 4Sc. Corn closed with trade
greatly excited and top prices pretty well
held.
In wheat the opening was about Nc higher
than yesterdays closing, advanced nc, re-
ceded 5Ic advanced NC, then receded 11sc,
rallied l5ac; fiuctuated some and closed
about 25ac higher than yesterday. A sharp
demand existed and outside parties bought
freely. The short interest covered freely
and felt rather uneasy at the situation.
There was no great quantity of wheat
offered though on the different bulges some
realizing followed.
A heavy trade was carried on in oats, the
market being greatly stimulated by the
strength of corn, and closing lH@lAc higher.
Business was generally scattered.
The provision trade cau-ht the bull fever
from the grain pits. The greatest sDecula-
tive interest was in pork. The opening price
was 10c over last night, in sympathy with
corn. This was the key to the situation
danger to the corn crop and higher prices i'll
the corn pit. Then the packers began taking
products. May operators, after covering
short sales, took the long side for the upturn,
and the closing fgufes were the highest Of
all.
The leading futures ranged follows. as cor

The DrygOOds Marker

NEW YORK, May 2O.-The demand for dry
goods indicated more progress. Staple cot
tons were being taken to a considera bic
extent for next season, though not generally
yet, and there was more business in prints
and low-grade bleached cottons, which are
advancing in sympathy with print cloths
The tone is stronger ON many cotton goods
The demand for wooden fabrics was fair and
steady. The South is buying more freely
than for some time past. Clothing woolens
were without new feature. The iobbfnp
trade was fair, but with no incident of i'm.
portance. The feeling in both commission
and tobbing circles has materially i'm
proved.

STILL DULL AT CINCINNATI
Most Buyers DistrustfuI OF the Future OF
the Market.

CINCINNATI, May 2O.-TSpecidL Rogers,
Brown & Co. say: The tone o. the pig iron
market has continued dull and with few
features Of interest. Some large contracts
have hecu closed by agricultural implement
makers ior next seasons deliveries and
others are in the market for large blocks,
but are refusing to buy at higher prices for
deliveries running into next year than they
are quoted on nearby deliveries. Most buy
tI.s continue to distrust the future of the
market, and draw upon stocks on hand as
Jar rs they Will go and order only special
jog, 20 even up mixtures. The consequence
L. taat iour out of every five orders booked
are Tor a small quantity, withsurgeut in
nfe Inconveniently caught by not calculat-
lu- the length OF time required to get iron
through from southern points, and, as q re-
sui van short OF metal for daily melting
Prices are better maintained than they
were ID month ago. The small and cheap
sellers have mostly filled up and tine large
cOmp0nl"~ are holding firm at established
pll1rs- shipments are going forward at a
rapid rate, and stocks in the Southern
states al least, arc being reduced. At the
same time. there is a good deal of iron piled
mp at certain furnaces. The leading South
erH companies are easier financially than
1of years past, and realizing sales are not
necessary. Ihe widely extended floods
have Gl>3rranged matters in the West and
some manufacturing concerns have been
stopped Pro~nective loss of crops has also
IA l-st question rs TO the future. 1t is not
believed, however that any widespread in
2urE has resulted and it is not unreasonable
that any reduced yield OF wheat or corn
may be lully Offset by enhanced prices.
Money continues abundant and cheap, fail
uTe- are few, and in snite OF a good deal of
uplalut there j. ground for believing that
most branches o. the iron trade are enioy-
ing At least reasonable prosperity.
