upward movement which carried the
May prices to Csc. Closing cables were
firm and showed substantial advlces.
Export clearances from Atlantic ports
were liberal, amounting in wheat and

Corn was moderately active and nrm
Country offerings were freer, but
cables were higher and receipts light,

ing on the belief that higher prices
should prevail. The market was also
helped by the strength of oats. Shorts

May again sold at the top prices OF the

eral all day, elevator interests and
shippers being prominent There was
also considerable investment buying.
The selling was principally in the way
of profit taking. The urgent cash de-
mand was bullish factor. May rang

Provisions sold at the highest prices
Of the season. The market early was
weak on the decline in hog prices and
on commission house realizing. Out

little buying easily advanced prices.
Shorts were free buyers as the market
improved, and the demand became
quite general toward the close, May

PRODUCE.

Chicago, February 4.-Wheat closed
as it opened to-day, strong and at 5sc
advance over yesterdays final figures.
There was q long period Of weakness
caused by liberal northwest receipts
and prospects Of small visible de-
crease but Letter buying and strength
which developed in provisions and the
coarser grains caused a firm market
during the afternoon. Corn advanced
18c. Cats closed nose higher, and
provisions touched the high mark OF
the season, closing 215071ac higher.
Opening trades in May wheat We're
at from NC to 1ac over yesterdays
closing figures, May ranging all the
way from 9475c to 951sc in different
parts of the pit, with quite a good
trade at those figures. The market
was helped by the unexpected advance
of 3sd at Liverpool, where a decline
was looked for It was supposed this
strength was due to the falling off in
Argentine shipments, exports from
that country last week being 627 600
bushels or nearly 200, 600 bushels I'M
der those of the week before. Traders
here looked for figures close to the
million mark and the shortage was a
pleasing surprise to holders. NOtwith
standing this Liverpool strength the
market for time after the opening
appeared to be in the control Of the
bears. Northwest receipts continued
heavy, Minneapolis and Duluth re-
porting 432 cars to-day, against 1874
last week and 299 a year ago. Chicago
receipts were % cars. The Kansas
crop report was very favorable and
there was an early re drop at st.
Louis. The effect of this was that in
side of thirty minutes the Liverpool
advance was@ disregarded and prices
declined, May dropping to 94hc, re-
covering to 944c for moment, then
turning again and not stopping until
94Ac had been quoted, which occurred
about II O'Clock. During this decline
there was quite free selling for st.
Louis interests, and local shorts also
materially increased their outstanding
lines feature which had a tendency
to increase the weakness was early
figures on the visible supply indicat
ing a rather small decrease next week.
Before noon the market began to re-
cover Practically no influential sup
port had been given during the decline
and the market became rather over
sold. At bottom prices brokers for
the Letter interests commenced bid
ding and aided by a lot of late bullish

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York, February Ar. G. Dun
& Co., in their weekly review of trade,
will say in its issue Of tomorrow:
Actual payments through clearing
houses in January made a remarkable
showing. being much larger than in
any previous month, 36 per cent larger
than the same month last year. and
IL per cent larger than in 1892 The
failures in January were smaller than
in any previous year Of which there is
record, and were probably smaller
than in any other January since 1891
The statement by branches of business
given this week shows a surprising
gain in most departments of manufac-
ture and trade. Meanwhile the money
market is as confident as ever, gold
does not come from Europe in large
amount only because bankers find it
worth while to lend American money
abroad and the commercial balances
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1898-02-05

are heavily in favor of the United
States as heretofore.
Perhaps the most striking feature of
the week has been the decline in
wheat. With exports of 1904, SIT bush
els, against 1,770,554 last year, flour
included, from Atlantic ports, and 49,
$40 bushels from Pacific ports, against
844,343 bushels last year, the temper
Of the market has been weaker The
report of the agricultural department
has had some influence, though its
figures are not generally credited as
reliable. The wheat market has turn
ed largely upon the operation OF a
Chicago Spectator, but the fact re-
mains that the price depends largely
upon foreign needs and the compare
tive scarcity of American supply. The
outgo of corn continues heavy 3,798,-
1855 bushels, against 3,343, 400 for the
same week last year, and the excess
over last year, when exports were
much the greatest ever known, indi-
Gates a very heavy foreign demand.
The spot price of cotton remains I'M
changed, but the fact that receipts
continue larger than during the same
week Of 1895, after he heaviest crop
ever known, checks speculative opera
lions for an advance.
The iron and steel manufacture is
steadily gaining in the consumption
of pig iron, although the production
of the material is still in excess of
immediate demands, but not enough
to cause a decline in prices in Pitts
burg or Chicago. Even the Southern
producers are able to get a fair price
at Chicago and at the East, and an
thracite pig is unchanged The de-
mand for finished products has been
very heavy, and includes for struc-
tural work 5000 tons for the State
capitol building in Pennsylvania; A.
600 tons for the court house at Den
yer: 5000 tons for elevated railway
at Chicago; and numerous small
buildings in various parts Of the coun-
try. The demand for car building
has been very heavy both at the East
and West, and the plate demand great
w increased at the East on account
of orders from ship yards. For plates,
the demand from tin plate WORKS
has been very active. The prospect OF
combination of wire manufacturers
has stimulated the demand and raised
the price for wire rods OF Connells-
Vile coke. 5000 ovens are in blast,
with an output of 155, 600 tons weekly,
and the quoted price is $1.50 for fur
mace. Tin is quiet and steady at 1888
cents. with a visible supply FEBRUARY
/, Of 31.120 tons against 1882 a year
20. Exports of copper in January
were about 1925 tons, against 9,Obo
last year, and the price is held at Ii
cents for lake.
There is a better demand for cotton
goods since the general stoppage OIL
works at the East, but there IS no
indication as yet of material gam
as respects unsold stocks on hand
In wooden goods the demand IS alto
gether more satisfactory, an advance
Of about 20 per cent. being paid on
most grades of the finer woolens and
worsteds and nearly all the mills are
active The sales OF wool at
the three chief markets were s.
361 400 pounds, Of which 3,913,oo
were domestic, against 1858, 200 last
wear of which S,493, 400 were domestic
Failures for the week were $3.50 IN
the United States, against 3ll last
wear. and 80 in Canada, against %
last year.
