l IIyNA1A
ClllCQUU, Iof several downtown build
-ings will be advanced rap
idly in view of the Councils action in
removing the bar to high tireproof struc-
lures. Contracts for structural material
needed for new buildings are in view, and
while they add to the already overtaxcd
condition of structural mills, contractors
and builders believed they will be able
to get needed material. Building permits
issued in January in Chicago represent u
larger outlay than in any January since
1891. Improvement in the real eotate
market continues.
Cotton is quiet, with the statisticians
still at loggerheads as to the crop. Sta
pie cottons arc no more active, home
buyers continuing themselves to the supply
of immediate needs. Demand for export
purposes was limited. Jobbers are conf
dent of a larger business this year than
last. Prices Of wool hold firm, but de-
mand is moderate. The output of New
England shoe factories is larger this year
than last. The leather market is active.
Slight improvement is reported in hides.
An agreement has been made between
the Standard Oil Company and four in.
dependent concerns to advance prices one
cent a gallon. That absolute monopoly
of the oil industry which the great cor.
poration would be glad to have 's not
enjoyed by it.
May wheat was rather quiet. but near
ly steady. the net result of the week being
IL loss of kc to NC. A lighter demand
caused weakness in May corn and n net
loss of 11sc. The crop situation js being
watched closely by stock market opera
tors.
The money market holds at 4 to 5 per
cent and the demand is good. The Bank
OF England made a further reduction of
one-half of 1 per cent in its discount rate,
the second in two weeks. The rate now
is 3 per cent. Gold exports of S 4,25O,O 600
