HEARD ON 'CHANGE

The local market has shown but little
change during the past week. The dealing
ih~local securities has not resumed the old
time volume, and to account for this sew
eral reasons are given. among which may
be mentioned the lack Of loanable funds on
the part of local banks. There Is. however,
not SO much heard on this subject was
the case some days ago, and so 1t Is reason
able to suppose that money is easier.
The market here has shared in the i'm
provement which has been felt In the gem
eral market and which has led to better
supply of money and reduction in high
rates. Local institutions are reported to
have a larger supply of funds on hand to
accommodate customers, and there are GER
tainly not the same temptations to send
money to New York as existed when rates
were high at that center
Another cause assigned for the continued
inactivity in the local market are the at
fractions to be found In the larger sphere
of stock transactions, where trading has
beeing going on at rapid rate and the
chances of making a turn are more favor
able
For those who like a stirring life and
who want to keep their money moving, q
quick movement In prices Is what is
wanted There has been right along very
fair volume of trading on the local board.
and no doubt If an average for a few
months was taken Of the total transactions
and comparison made with what had been
done for corresponding period of last
year or the year before 1t would be evil
dent that the extent of the daily business
has increased.
Washington railway securities which
have formed such a large part Of the trad
Ing have been rather slow in movement,
and are still SO. There have been but
slight fluctuations in the prices. and the
level reached within recent days has been
maintained with but slight variations.
The attention which has been directed
toward the bank stock list has been almost
entirely withdrawn, 1t appears that the
changes in those institutions have been
about completed There is nothing left
now that remains to be carried out except
in the case of one bank, where it is ex-
pected that the capital stock will be
brought up to half million, which seems
now to be the amount of capitalization
which is popular here. After the increase
of stock is accomplished then combina-
ton with another bank having a similar
amount of capital seems to be on the cards.

discussion of terms OF agreement between
the coal miners and operators. Hopes OF a
settlement are held IN the financial district,
but the possibility of a great strike would
be expected to alter conditions IN the stock
market The growth In volume of new Is
sues of securities, especially of bonds by
existing corpora lions, is becoming notice
able. Capitalization of new companies OF
a million dollars and upward in the eastern
states in January is estimated to amount
TO S464 .5t4,1o4, or more than double the
amount in January of last year.
Money conditions have been easy and the
outward movement of gold which was ex-
pected with the firnness of foreign ex-
chance has not yet occurred.
Bonds held steady through the reaction
in stocks, but the demand for them has
been moderate United States Is declined

rate In January Is particularly gratifying
In view Of the unusually high rates that
have prevailed in the money market. which
naturally tended to retard collections and
render annual settlements more difficult.
Comparison with last years failures by
branches of business for the corresponding
month discioses the fact that only 1--WE of
the fourteen manufacturing divisions show
heavier liabilities than In 1905. and the larg-
est increase was only little over 100000
In clothing and millinery, chiefly due to the
abnormaily small losses in 1906. On the
other hand, there were several instances
where notable Improvement was shown this
year. in machinery and tools the decrease
amounting to over $2500o0, and like
amount Ia the cotton industry, while the
decrease was still larger in the manufacture
of leather, milling and chemicals. In the
latter case the difference was over half a
million dollars. but was largely due to the
unusually heavy losses in 1868.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, February 3.-The first specific
reports of damage to fall-sown wheat
which have been received here caused I'M
usual activity and strength in the wheat
market today. At the close wheat for May
delivery was up &c. Corn was up Aassc.
Oats showed gain of nc. Provisions were
71sc. to 321sc higher.
Strength in the market developed toward
the end of the first hour. At the immediate
opening the market was somewhat weak
and initial quotations on May were a shade
to hale lower at s4asc. to $40. Factors
contributing to the easier tone were liberal
shipments from Australia and mild wea Their
in the winter wheat belt of the United
States,
AS the session advanced trading Increased
in volume shorts commission houses and
cash interests buying freely. The selling
was chiefly by longs. Responding to the
increased demand, prices advanced steadily
Late in the day report was received from
Kansas City to the effect that the crop in
Burton county, Kan, had been damaged
20 per cent by the unseaSonaple weather III
the last month
Other reports of damage came from Mis-
souri, and southern Illinois. An official fore
cast of much colder weather tomorrow and
the report of a blizzard in North Dakota.
which might temporarily check the move
ment of grain, caused Increased anxiety
among the shorts.
The market closed strong. with prices a.
the highest point of the day. Final quota
lions on May were at ~SoSsa1sc. Clearances
of wheat and flour were equal to 501, 900
bushels Primary receipts were 49, 900
bushels. against 301 600 bushels year ago.
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts of 200 cars, against 303 cars last
week and 239 cars year age.
DESPITE heavy primary receipts the corn
market was firm for the greater part of the
day In sympathy with wheat. Shorts were
active buyers and the selling was mainly
by longs The market closed firm, with
prices at the highest point of the day. May
opened q shade lower to shade higher, at
441bc. to 44ssc., sold up to 447sc and closed
at the top figure. Local receipts were ga
cars with 16 of contract grade.
Oats had a strong undertone, based prin-
cipally on the condition of the wheat mar
ket. Early in the day trading was quiet,
but later a good demand developed May

Considering the fact that annual settle
ments usually swell the number and
amount of failures in January. it is crafty
Ing to find that last months iHsolvencies
were fewer in number than in the corre-
spending month of any year since 1900.
while the total of defaulted Indebtedness Is
also smaller than In the corresponding
month of any recent year except 1905. and
the only reason that the comparison is adj
verse IN this respect may be readily traced
to a single brokerage default that involved
81 ,OO0. 600. Hence, careful analysis shows
that the new year has started under most
solvent firms In business than In any pre-
vious year, because there has been large
