BULLS GAIN FAITH
Strength in Wheat Brings Net
Gain for Session.
DAYS CLOSE Is HIGHER
Wheat Rules Strong Almost
Throughout the Day

Chicago, Jan. 2.-Strength in wheat,
which brought a net gain for the session
of &c IN May, had a bullish influence on
the other pits, and May corn closed 1sG14c
up. and May oats &c higher. Provisions
closed unchanged TO 21kc higher.
The wheat pit saw q broad and active
session, with tone which ruled strong
throughout the greater part OF the day.
The early tone was easier on Indifferent
cable list, and the crowd waz Influenced
to sell Receipts, however, were small
and the prediction of a cold wave set
outsiders to buying. TIC help bulls de-
liveries also were small. The bears were
aggressive and fought every advance,
but the general sentiment seemed to be
against them and prices steadily moved
upward. Minneapolis wired that the cash
demand there took all the wheat OF the
market quickly. Other outside markets
also were strong. May. which opened 80

Local receipts were Il cars. for two

points of $50 cars, against 1,4SS for the
corresponding day last week and S25 for

Trade was moderately active and ruled

STOCKS AND BONDS.

Nav York. Jan. 2.-The first day Of
trading for the new year on the Stock
Exchange was signalized by a jump in
the volume of transactions to upward of
a million shares. The coalers and the
Pacifcs were easily the leaders in the
market, but the dealings were broadly
distributed and the strength was very
fairly disseminated through the general
list. The industrial stocks were incon-
spicuous except for a few of the most
important issues such as United States
Steel. Sugar and Amalgamated Copper
and Peoples Gas. AmaIgamated Copper
had a period Of weakness during the
early part of the day and Sugar showed
occasional relapses. There was very
heavy realizing in the course Of the day,
but the offerings were well taken and
at a cost Of only fractions in the prices.
The way in which one stock or group
Of stocks and then another was brought
forward into the advance was character
istic Of the methods of professional oper-
stors of large calibre. and as each new
poirt of strength developed the preced-
ing stocks was sold to realize In this
way the equipoise was maintained and
speculative holdings were transferred
from one quarter to another, permeat-
ing the whole market The demand was
apparently based On general considera-
tons Of a good prospect Of continued
prosperity of the country for the new
year and the hope Of an early relaxation
in the money market Call loan rates
were not so stringent as on Monday and
Tuesday, but the money market con-
tinued stif and the bulk of operations
was apparently by those not dependent
for resources on the call loan market.
The inspired limitations OF the compile
ton of the retirement Of Northern Pa
cific preferred and the rapid progress Of
exchange into the Northern Securities
company's stock had q notable effect in
relieving the depression which has been
caused by the fears that that project
would be constructed before its successful
contamination. The payment for re-
demption Of Northern Pacific preferred
was believed TO be factor in relieving
the money market. The prospect Of a
further effect from the large January
disbursements was en- additional motive

German Manufacturers Kick on Arti-
fetal Price of Coal.

Washington, Jan 2.-One can hardly
rake up a Berlin newspaper without md
ing a report OF some meeting of manu-
facturers or fuel consumers TO protest
against the artifcially maintained price
Of coal and coke. says Consul Mason. at
Berlin, in a report to the state depart
ment, dated December ). The paramount
fact on the public mind concerning the
coal situation. Mr.. Mason says IS that,
Notwithstanding the contInud protests
and present distress Of many German in
dustries, their narrowing output and en-
forced discharge OF workmen, the Ger
man coal syndicates have persisted in
maintaining the same prices which they
have received for coal during tho flush
activity OF 1899 and 1900.
Snesian coal of ordinary quality. II is
stated, now retails at Berlin coal yards
at about s7.6l per metric ton OF 2,2o4
pounds. Ordinary Selisian steam coal

cred in that city. Therefore Mr.. Mason
points out. as the river freight on coal
from Hamburg 10 Berlin is about ~ cents
per ton. it would seem that II American
or other foreign soft coal can be landed

SHIPPERS AND NOTES.

The hog market was not the most lively
thing In the world yesterday, but then
there were not very many good hogs on
sale.
Tie cattle market at the yards is get
ting to be pretty respectable. It will keep
on growing If the buyers will continue
their present method Of keeping close to
the Missouri river markets.
Robins & Alexander have bought and
placed ten car loads of cattle this week.
They buy everything and then sort
them TO suit orders.
1t was reported yesterday that Dold
expects to commence buying hogs by the
first Of March. He viii have to do a
good deal of work to get ready by that
time.
Ed Fitzpatrick Is putting in the pipes
for fire protection around the new Dold
plant, and the iron pipe leading into the
creek is nearly as large as the city
waterworks main. If there is ever an
other fire at the Dold house The water
works will send in one stream and Dold
will turn in nearly the whole flow OF
Chisholm creek.
The man who thought, last September,
that hogs would not be worth seven dol
lars the first of January can now stand
up. The fellows who predicted eight
dollars are now keeping quiet.
While Commodore Nelson is here, he
might consider the matter of extending
the street car line to the stocEyards.
