The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1905-01-13

CnlcagoZTo Sidney c. Love & Co., Min
ed bull side in past few days that I
am inclined to think our short interest
must have increased
Chicago = A Liverpool house cables:
Wheat declining slowly. The market is
heavy and looks lower Corn firm with a
better demand, which is chiefly from
short sellers.
Chicago-So far this morning the corn
market lacks that undertone of strength
winch has been so pronounced on all the
breaks lately. Looks to me like corn sold
on the ma.ket.
Chicago-Barrell is selling a little May
corn at til. the opening; Scalpers taking it..
Trade light. Market not particularly
strong. Think a very little selling would
start quick break
Cnicago-With storms over the West
small arrivals of grain. are looked for the
next few days. Country offerings have
decreased the past few days, and the big
shorts In corn and oats are reducing their
lines.
Sunderland & Updike, Omaha, wire:
we. will hear no more complaint of Ne
braska wheat not having sufficient snow
covering. During the past thirty-six
breath of wind. This has been of i'm
mense benefit to the Nebraska farmer. 1t
Is clear and cold this morning.
st. Iouis-We are lower again than last
night, while you are higher. There is
wheat on tap all the time. Very dull.
Reports from country fields all well COW
cred with snow.
Chicago-Some selling in wheat; looks
as though inspired by Valentine Corn
eased back with wheat Local crowd still
bearish on both wheat and corn.
Chicago-No special feature to wheat
market as yet. Pringle buying little
wheat. Local talent led by Mitchell. the
sellers from s1.17 down. Commission
Chicago-Be demand for cash wheat
here. We just sold small lot hard winter
wheat at nc under May, including pen
atty. 1t has been 41sc under for some
time
Kansas City Twenty five thousand
bushels Pacific coast just sold togo south
east same price as yesterday, sL1s.
here; we just sold small lot hard winter
wheat 1sc under May, including penalty
1t has been m, 4Ac under for some time,
dividend declaration on Illinois Central
will be the hundredth consecutive pay
ment. There Is report current that di-
ton in nature of a jubilee celebration for
stockholders. American Hide and Leather
continue to advance with preferred stock
t active and strong Latter Is
sell on per cent dividend basis The
declaration is expected at end of this
month Rise in Manhattan, Interboro.
Metropolitan. and Metropolitan Securities
explains plainly traction situation here.
Buying in Manhattan mostly investment
on its assured Z per cent dividend.
L
bonds will be issued to retire 81, 500, coo
per cent bonds due next year. They.
will be. placed on a 3R to per cent basis
as far as Pennsylvania is concerned, ).
and this will add only about 250,000 a
year to their present fixed charges and
give them 22,500,0 900 as capital which is
enough to finish all their improvements.
New YOrk-The syndicate are to bid to-
day openly 200 for City Railway This
underwriting has nothing to do with Chi
cago Traction now, but later on City Rail-
way will be the foundation for consolida-
ton of all lines in Chicago
New York-The idea seems very gener-
ally held this morning that after the
Northern Securities situation is cleared
up there will be an extra distribution of
profits to Union Pacific holders. 1t is
known the earnings aside from all income
on investments are more than double the
rate of dividend on the common.
New York-International Paper rights
are traded in on the floor They have no
rights at moment Except in B. & O. the
character of the selling is not impressive
think that stock should be a purchase
on further declines, especially Union and
Southern Pacific. -
