Minnea polls Chamber Of Commerce, Jan.
14.-Wheat was strong and steady thru
the early part Of the session this morning,
and ranged fractionally higher in the first
trades. There was little to influence prices
either way. The war news was not quite
so disturbing. The foreign markets were
steady but no higher. Armour's support
was the feature in Chicago where the mar
ket stood firm. Little wheat was offered
anywhere. In the local pit there were
flve-minute intervals without trades Of
any size II looked almost as tho there
was no wheat for sale. and when buy
ing order came in a bid Of shade above
the market was often necessary to draw
out sale. The Argentine news shifted
again and while the advices yesterday
were of improving conditions and little
damage done, this morning direct cable
to New York stated that there have been
incessant rains in Argentine for several
days and that the outlook Is bad. The
Kansas City Star had out a bullish sum-
mary as to wheat remaining in the state,
which Is placed at only 26, 900, 600 blu in
all. Kansas City May wheat was up 1c.
Coarse grains were strong and tending
higher and this was important In its effect
upon wheat. Armour's representative
bought freely in straight 100000 bu lots
in the Chicago pit. Minneapolis received
392 cars against 237 and Duluth so against
As. Chicago had thirty against 10. Kan
sas City received 149, 900 bu against $4,000,
and st. Louis 1000 blu against $4,000.
Minneapolis elevator stocks have in
creased 100000 bu so far on the week.
oIiverpool closed unchanged, Berlin 1sc
up, Paris 10 centimes UP to 10 confines
lower, and Budapest 1ac lower.
The Price Current finds the condition
Of the growing wheat crop not essentially
changed. Snow general in the east and
north. but too dry southwest. In the
southern portion the top growth is I'M
favorable, but the roots are believed to
be sound. The movement above season.
ably normal. The poor quality Of corn Is
complained Of Shipments fair or in
creasing except in Iowa and Ohio.
Marcy Of the Armour company turned
UP in Kansas City and. was a big buyer
of wheat there. This scared everyone in
the trade and was the cause Of the hold
ing off and fear Of the selling side.
New York sold Is loads for export.
.- Near the close there evidence Of
Armour selling and it the report that
was sold thru Standardization. The
crowd lost the early timidity and sold a
little and a quick break resulted in May
going from S7%c to $3.50, and reacting a
little at the close. May closed at S67s @
SIC. July 857sc and September 77Ac.
The cash market was fairly satisfactory
for the grade wheat but the poor stuff
was hard to move.
Primary receipts were 692, 900 bu against
453 900 and shipments $4,000 against 203,-

THE IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 1.-THE Iron Trade Re

V1UW EayS:
A decided improvement in demand has ap-
peared in the iron market in the last week. Not
since midsummer Of 1908 has there been such q
weeks buying in finished material Blast fur
resumed operations or have made ready for
early resumption, and the resumption will quick
ly bring the added pig iron production up to
yearly rate of fully 2,25O, 900 TONS The most
most pronounced activity of the last week has
been in bars and wire products.
In the closing week Of the old year and the
the sales of wire products amounted to fully
loo, 600 tons, most of this tonnage being at
concessions Of 50 to So from prices previously
quoted. A demand of such proportions at this
season reflects the good buying ability of the
agricultural community and gives promise Of a
come advance Of 81 ton from the low
point.
Bar iron made a low record in the last ten
days in the central west, but is now about 81
a ton above the low point. Sheet trade prices
are about 81 ton lower. ~
