Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO March 1s.-Except for a brief
dip during initial trades wheat today ruled
strong. The reason lay chiefly In pessimistc
crop reports from western Kansas by a
Chicago expert, who yesterday sent for
ward glowing dispatches regarding the
east half Of the state Closing prices were
Ss93Lc higher than last night. In corn
there was net gain of Adasc to sc, oats
were unchanged to nc up, and provisions
down 5GD71zc to Dc,
Attention to the kilograms concerning
the western part Of Kansas developed
acutely when 1t was noticed that the ex-
perts employers here were purchasing on
a large scale to cover short wheat. This
decided many other shorts to reduce their
commitments and not hold the trades
open over Sunday. The weak start was on
faVoring rains in a good portion of the
winter crop belt and because of disap-
pointing cables. Besides receipts at the
primary centers were more liberal than
for the preceding seven days and there
was no trace left OF the alleged improve
ment in the demand for cash wheat Such
factors, however, were lost sight of in
q hurry after Kansas took the center of
the stage. Steadiness prevailed at the
close, which was almost the top level
reached. May touched as high and low
limits, 913sc and 90ssc, with last sales NC
Corn had special support from leading
longs and their followers, For the May
delivery prices ranged between 49% and
4944449Hsc, with closing figures at $50
4s%c, a gain OF Aq4sc net. Cash corn was
steady. No. yellow finished at 471R6D4Sc
Oats displayed a tendency TO initiate
corn, but commission offerings were free
on every bulge. May ranged from 2lAdj
1850 to S1hc and in the END were a shade
up at s19sa311zc.
Provisions weakened in view of a heavy
run Of hogs When the pit was closed porH
had sagged 171sQ29c, and lard and ribs

REVISING DRY GOODS PRICES
Bring This Result.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE irregular
price conditions that have been prevailing
in cotton goods gave promise at the close
OF the week clearing up in the near
future. Revision of prices is under way
and will be made to reach trading basis.
The mills are being pressed in con-
sequence some Of the low prices and cur
tailment of production was undertaken in
many of the southern mill centers, supple
menting the extensive curtailment which
has been going on in New England. The
volume of business being done in gray
goods is fair, but at prices which manu-
facturers say show losses varying from
1c to &c per pound Fall River sold 700 600
pieces of print cloths, of which 10000 pieces
were for spot delivery. This volume was
about 10000 pieces in excess of the
restricted product. There is a fair trade
passing in jobbing houses on prints, glng-
hams, wash goods and some new lines of
domestics, Buyers are still very conserva-
tive in their orders, but they order very
frequently and are making no effort to
Increase their holdings of merchandise in
anticipation of future business with the
south and better southwest which has been
doing a rather better business than other
sections Orders of underwear are slow Fine
gagged seamless staple hosiery is in increas-
ing demand. Shifting manufacturers are
beginning to place their orders on goods
for the coming season.
