The steel is TO be used in erecting a

are to be taken on board.
The steamers which are to transport this
immense quantity of iron and steel are
either owned or run on time charters on
account of the Dominion Coal Company IN
the St Lawrence River coal trade during
the summer months. In winter they are
compelled to seek other trade by the ice,

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Failure of the Bears to Force Up

CHICAGO, Nov 2O-LocaI. operators
made strenuous efforts TO bring about
higher prices in wheat today, bu. they
We're unable TO get it above the average
high price of last week, 81 1-2c. They
were influenced by the strength in corn,
I'D advance at Liverpool light world S
shipments 900 bushels, and a de-
crease afoat of 100000 bushels, Our yisi-
bic supply increased literally. Primary re-
ceipts were 9G0, 200 bushels less than last
year, Clearances were very light, I65, 600
bushels. Although the worlds shipments
We're light and there was a decrease ai1oat
there was no increased export demand; Il
loads reported for export
Heavy rains in the Southwest and the
prospect that they might become general
throughout the West made it easy 20 ad-
vance corn moderately. At their best,
prices were up 5-Sc, and most of this was
held. Liverpool was 1-4d3-Sd higher.
Seaboard clearances were 669, 900 bushels.
There was a decrease in the visible Of $50, =
600 bushels. The shipping demand here
was not sharp. and the seaboard reports
only 10 loads for export. Cash handlers
report some increase in Western offerings.
Stocks are so small however that any
prospect of interference with receipts such
as wet weather and bad roads makes the
December short interest nervous. The
long interest in May has been increased
considerably in anticipation of a squeeze
in December
Oats were up 1904. Wet weather
and a breakup of the roads would affect
oats as well as corn. The visible de-
creased $4,000 bushels, and clearances
were S16,000 Today's shipping demand
was not as good as last week.
pTOgigiOug were f1Odpratply higher Vyit n
hog and ccrn markets. They closed quiet
at a small improvement. The covering OF
10000 pounds December pork for local
operator and liberal selling of January
lard by English packers were the promi-
nent features OF todays trading. There
was some investment buying of May ribs.
The cash demand was rather light.

EARNINGS Thought to Warrant Two
Per. Cent for Six Months.
BALTIMORE. Nov 2O-There has been
considerable talk recently relative TO the
declaration of a dividend on the preferred
stock of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
before January /. The question has not
been discussed officially by the board, but
il has been talked over unoficially, and it
is understood that a majority favor de-
claring per cent for the six months
ending December 81. The property is now
earning at the rate of S per cent on the
common stock, after providing for interest
charges and dividend on the preferred
stock.
James J. Hill and associates are said to
have been heavy buyers of both the com
mon and preferred stock during the past
two weeks and local investors have also
been quietly picking them up. The earn
ings are showing a constant increase due
in large part to the improvement in the
physical condition of the property, which
has caused considerable decrease in op-
Grating expenses.
On the lines east of Pittsburg millions
of dollars have been expended in straight
enng curves. in reducing grades, and in
double tracking the line There has been
less money spent in proportion on lines
west of PittsbuTg but the company has
in prospect extensive improvements along
the Western division. Considerable sums
of money are to be expended in improve
ments and il is expected a further decrease
in operating expenses viii result.

The feeling tonight is one of heaviness,
and as this week will see considerable sell
ing of December or changing over to May,
many expect lower prices.
Corn at Liverpool closed IA up. Receipts
here 292 cars with 400 estimated for tomoT-
row. CIearances large, $4,000 bushels.
The visible decreased $4,000. The market
ruled strong and higher with a larger trade
and but for the bad example of wheat, the
closing prices would pIobably have been
higher. A strong feature was the advance
in December corn, which sold TO within

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-The stock
market opened active and generally at
eight advances in comparison with Satur-
Gays closing figures, but its initial tone
was short lived The subsequent unset
tlement was general, and il seemed TO be
apparently owing TO the apprehensions
that the Supreme Court would today
render a decision unfavorable 70 the cor
poraJions IN the Addyston case now before
that court A further unsettIing influence
IN the market was a sudden and pronounc-
ed break in Manhattan Railway, in which
stock heavy speculative liquidation ap-
pesred.
There was virtually no new gossip al
tending the decline in that instance. but
81 was commonly assumed that The sell
ing Of the stock reshadowed some new
move against the company on the part OF
the municipal authorities. AS was 10 be
expected. the industrial quarter OF tae
