The Southwest Bought on Lack Of

and Gossip of the Grain
Trade.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce, JAM u.
Wheat was strong to-day and at high point
was nearly lc over yesterdays close. In
advance was on good buying in st. Louis and
the southwest. Lack of rain over winter wheat
region was the first reason given for the buy
ing, but later aGvices said 1t was principally
due to covering by a st. Louis operator who
has been heavily short. There was little
enthusiasm. Considerable short wheat was
covered in the local pit by traders who feal
the starting OF some scare talk in case there
is no rain in the southwest over Sunday. The
weather map this morning showed no realiza-
ton OF the snow and rain prediction OF yes
terday There was rain in Arkansas and
some rain in Washington and Oregon on the
Pacific coast but tho promise or rain IN the
winter wheat belt was missed. The later pro-
dictions were for fair weather throughout the
Teater portion of the west, for snow to con-
.snue in Michigan, and some rain In the
Ohio valley. Corn and oats were higher in
sympathy with wheat and higher cables and
there was better feeling all around. Liver
pool closed I'd higher on wheat and I'D up
on corn. Minneapolis May opened at 1889,
and sold up by slow steady gains, touch
ing 77Ac and closing firm at 771sQ77Ac. July
wheat closed at 7S$sg7S12c and January az
1880. Chicago closed May wheat at Sic.

Veloped resulting in an opening advance Of

steady and unchanged ar opening, but later
gained l4d the higher American cableJ
and very liglt speculative offerings.
Primary receipts were 531 900 bushels,
against G17 900 bushels, and shipments 229, 900
bushels, against 1S3, 600 bushels. Wheat and
flour clearances 34s.OO0 bushels. Minneapolis
received 40 cars against 3S2 last year, and
Duluth 81 against y. Local stocks increased
s2l3"2 bushels for the week making the
present total in store here 16, 697 $50 bushels.
The cash market was fairly active, and In
good tone. There was milling demand but
miliers limited their buying 10 choice lots. At
the close some wheat was dragging but it
low grade stuff principally. No. 1 north
ern sold at .5a4q16c for the bulk. No. 2
sold at 144c to l5l2c. No. ranged from
I2c TO 1ji4c. Rejected and grade sold
from soc to 1lt-c.

THE OUTLOOK FOR WOOL
BETTER PRICES ARE HOPED FOX
General Conditions Are GOod-Ihe
Textile Mills Are
Crowded.

The American Wool and Cotton Reporter
reviews the situation as follows: Conditions
in the wool market continue encouraging.
The best thing about the situation Is thdt
1t is not characterized by striking features
of any sort We cannot recall time when
the wool markets Of the United States were
more exclusively dominated by legitimate
conditions than they are to-day. If the sltu-
alton is improving from month to month 1t
is largely the result of letting things take
their course in accordance with the funda-
mental needs of the country, and scarcely at
all the result of an attempt TO bend the sit
uaton to meet the speculative desires OF the
trade. A good deal more wool has been sold
in the last few months than was disposed OF
in the corresponding period the year before,
but it has changed hands in much less
speculative manner than has previously been
the case with an equal amount for some
years The mills have neither bought heaVi-
ly in excess Of their needs nor purchased
less than they actually needed, as has been
the case SO many previous seasons, but have
bought in a quiet, Inethodical way all that
their necessities (Which have been larse)
have called for, taking the market. as regards
prices, about as they found it. 1t is prob
able that they would not have pursued this
policy to such extent had they not been
met half way by the holders Of wool. The
wool trade have during recent months been
operating almost exclusively on the principle
that they are in business to meet the market
rather than to manipulate the market for
speculative profits.
The wool textile mills of the United States
as whole are to-day in a very satisfactory
condition.. They are crowded with orders on
which they see a good profit. This fact, to-
gether with the fact Of the large curtailment
in the stocks of wool in the last year. nat
urally raises expectations on the part of the
wool trade Of better prices for the commodity
during the early months Of 1902

Payments Prompt.
New York, Jan. 1S.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly trade review says:
REIMBURSEMENT of prices continued during the
second week of January, and the general av-
erage reported is at much lower point than
tured products were scarcely disturbed, but
both staples and securities suffered. Bust
ness conditions are sound, liberal distribution
and prompt payments being reported, except
at few southern cities.
Cotton still fails to command a price pro-
portioned to the estimated crop. and as a con-
to sustain business at the rate established by
the, previous years most profitable yield.
Transporting interests are less behind with
deliveries and railway earnings for the first
week OF January show gains Of IA per cent
over last years phenomenal figures, and l4.7
per cent over 1900.
outlook In the iron and steel industry. De-
liveries of fuel are less delayed and furnaces
operated fully. Large contracts have been
placed for Bessemer at $3.50 on Pittsburg de-
1iveries in June. Spot sales in small GUAM
titles are much higher. Production of pig

weeks conditions have improved so rapidly
that the present rate Of output is probably
at about the top point.
general advance of from PIC to &c. Stocks of
cotton goods are not burdensome, and de-
mands gradually expand with the advancing
season, especially for fine grades. Wooden
goods opened lower than expected and pur-
chases were retarded rather than stimulated
by the declines. Wooden and worsted yarns
tend upwards. ...
Grain reacted sharply from the high point

more than he could carry. Another unsatis-
