PRICES CLIMBING UPWARD
General Trade Continues to Show
Evidences of Improvement
Bradstreet's Review for the Past Week
Indicates Much rore Satisfactory
Condition of Trade

NEW YORK, March 90. 9.-Bradstrcet' $
tomorrow will say: General trade for the
third week in succession continues to
show evidence of improvement. In no
other direction is this 50 plainly indi-
Gated as in the tendency of prices. A
week ago encouragement had been OBJ
tanned from a generally unexpected adj
vance in cotton and wheat. Following
their slight reaction the week has wit
messed firm cotton market, further i'm
provement IN wheat, with a sympathetic
influence on corn ana oats the effect is
greatly emphasized this week by advances

Iectively for iron and for Bessemer pig

manufactured iron at western markets.

outcome Of restricted supplies of cattle.

Firmness in cotton and the late ad
vance has shown itself in higher quota

varieties OF cotton goods, some OF them

increased demand for petroleum on re-
ports of reduced output have pushed
prices up and higher figures for hogs at
the West have brought like quotations for
pork and lard. In addition advances are
reported on butter and eggs. such list

the third within three weeks, tells its own
story. Among staples reported hrm or
unchanged in price are wool, although
moving in large volume; cotton. sugar,
coffee, leaf tobacco, rice, lumber and mil
lincry
AS important as any of the other in
formation bearing on the condition of
trade are reports from Minnesota, South
Dakota and owa that the soil is greatly
III need of more moisture, which. with
the unseasonub,y dry and warm weather
promises a restricted area OF wheat, par
tlcuarly in South Dakota. To some ex-
tent these conditions prevail in Kansas
where summer heat is reported. The
better feeling in general trade circles
which characterized reports from num-
Der of cities has become more widespread
even where no actual gain in the move
ment of staples is reported, increased con-
fdence in a better demand is marked.
Exports of wheat, including flour as

smaller than for four preceding weeks

with exports of practically 5000, 900

Light Increase of Business on the
Exchange
Followed by Q General Appreciation Of
Values Better Trading In

NEW YORK, March 29.-There was
a slight increase in the volume of business
on the Stock Exchange today and the tone
of speculation was firmer, the result of the
trading being very general appreciation

opening and in the early trading there

move upward, and at delivery hour the
improvement was very general except in
some Of the specialties.
The report that the Atchison reorgan-
ization plan had been signed by the New
York members OF the joint committee and
sent to London for the signatures OF the
foreign members caused an advance OF "a

Nothing New In the Orange sltuation-Reports
From the East are Rather Dis
couraging

The news from the east is anything but
gratifying to the California orange grow
ers. There is no improvement in the
market, and at the present time the out
look is not encouraging. While the Fruit
Exchange has made no change in its pub
slished quotations. it is claimed that they
are compelled to make concessions in
order to meet foreign competition, and in
consequence returns are anything but sat
isfactory. Returns from several localities
are to the effect that shipments must be
pushed in the near future if it is expected
to move the crop.
The commission men deny the asser-
tion that they are demoralizing the mar
ket to the detriment OF the grower. They
say that the Fruit Exchange is not hold
ing up to it's published quotations,
either in the coast markets or in the east,
but that they give as many concessions as
do the merchants. This is accomplished
in various ways, but the result is the
same, and the growers suffer accordingly.

CHICAGO MARKET
The Days Transactions on the Chicago Board
of Iraie

CHICAGO, March 29-Wheat was ir-
regular at the opening, owing to predic-
tions of rain al first ana then OF fair and
cold weather. The ope ing bids for
wheat were 55H for May. but 55A was
paid almost Immediately. The price rose
to 555s@5JA in the course OF the first
half hour OF the session. Shorts were
good buyers. exhibiting considerable
nervousness over the crop situation. The
suggestion of trouble between England
and France may have caused some of the
rather vigorous buying OF the forenoon.
May wheat rose to ST before l O'Clock.
There were also rumors of further pur
chases OF cash wheat here and at st.
Louis, which helped the buyers and in
creased the scare Of the previous sellers.
Export clearances were fairly liberal,
amounting in wheat and flour to 3S2o, 900
bushels. Paris closed weak at decline
of from ~ centimes to 25 cen times for
wheat, and that caused reaction here.
The reaction from Sc cents reached the
limit at 55Ia, and after that it worked up
again until 561s was freely bid for few
sections, while a sixteenth over that was
paid for one or two lots. The market
was active and nervous, with plenty of
sales on the big bulges and hosts of buy
ers on moderate breaks. 1t finally closed
with sellers at 55s9.
The corn market was almost completely
neglected, although it had a range of nc
per bushel between it's extreme prices tor
the day. The transactions were small.
The opening for May was 4614c but it
started up Immediately and did not stop
util it touched 46Ac, the advance in wheat
being the only apparent influence. The
price dropped back to around 46A, at
which point it closed.
Oats were active and stronger, with a
good business transacted. The demand
was urgent and sales were made rea lily.
May sold up from 291ac to 1890 to 301sc.
closing, after a slight decline at 291sc.
July ranged from 297sc to 29Hc resting at
the high price.
After an advance of 1Oc. pork closed
only 2%c higher than the day before.
Lard in the end was from 21sc to sc lower
and ribs without change. the steadiness
coming from the light receipt of hogs.
