BRIT1SH-FRENCH GOLD
EMBARGO TO BE LIFTED
Reports Current that Shipment to Hol-
land May Be Expected in
Near Future.

New York, Feb. 5-Reports are current
IN banking circles today that the en-
barge Great Britain and France placed
upon the shipmen ent Of gold from this
country to Holland Is about to be lifted
1t is said that arrangements have been
made by the Guaranty Trust Company
and the National Bank of Commerce
with the British authorities, to permit
at least one shipment to go through In
the near future II II is found that such
step is necessary. 1t will be designed
to aid the, Sumatra tobacco market In
Holland and the American importers.
The annual auctions for the sale of Su-
matra tobacco are to be held In Amster-
dam on March 10. "Sumatra," as every
smoker knows, has become a very impor-
tant factor In the cigar market in this
country and consequently American man
ufacturers are among the largest pur-
chasers OF II. About s25, oo0, 900 is in
volved in connection with the Amster-
dam auction sales
with exchange on that center as high
as II recently has been in this country
the situation of the importers who will
have to remit Is readily comprehended
Tho only remedy for II would be the
shipment of gold to Holland. The gold
pool tust established by the Bank of the
Netherlands and the National Bank of
Comm cree is not yet available for the
tobacco men. In view of that the situa-
ton has been placed before the British
authorities and they have consented In
this particular case to permit the gold
to be shipped from here to Holland II,
when the settlement date arrives, ex-
change on Amsterdam Is not at a rate
that would obviats the necessity OF ship
ping the metal.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKETS.

Chicago. Feb. 5.-Thers Is a big short interest in
wheat Some Of those who favor the bear side
make the claim that the market Is overbouRht
while those in the opposite field claim that 1t Is
And consequent decline Of INC in the May fu-
ture. with surrounding circumstances favorable to
the lear side.
The heavy selling a reflection OF the reports
received by cable that Italy asking for bids on
wheat in order to make resales of pert Of the grain
now owned by that country. possibly because Of
the scarcity Of ocean tonnage. As rprtiL on
set to this, however, the report from the sea
board that considerable wheat bought late FIJI
day as well as today and that in addition to this
there were good sized sales at the Gulf
One Of the leading Liverpool grain houses cabled
Chicago Board Of Trade concern that Argentine
wheat was being offered at lower prices today and
advised caution on the buying side at the moment.
Adyices from the seabosrd say those on the
ground there are certain to favor the bull side Of
the wheat market because of the urgency in the
demand-especially the price recessious Sales
there today were not made public although Il was
generally believed that goodly transactions were
made
The weakness in corn todsy affected wheat no
little. but at the time the chief factor in
the wheat market was the export situation and
that seemed to be rather uncertain.
Corn closed with losses Of lac to lxc and Huui-
dation by the larger longs and short selling was
factor. The buying power was of q half-hearted
kind and was mainly In the way Of securing profit.
Cash trade was light with sales Of only IS OC0
bushels
Oats were &c to 10 lower with the trend of
values following the other grains and liquidation a
feature. Many Of those who bought early in the
week were the selling side today Cash sales
here were 200 bushels. with 1890 bushels for
export
There little outside interest In the market
for hog products and losses Of SC to 2zac were
established

STEEL MILLS SOLD AHEAD.
Pittsburgh District Corpora ttons
See Busy Times Ahead.

New York, Feb. 5.-Pittsburgh reports
that the steel mills are sold far ahead.
The small mills make 1t a rule not to
sell ahead to any extent. but they also
have a large tonnage on books. Only a
very small tonnage of business can be
done in early deliveries. Following va
rious rumors OF the past few weeks the
definite statement Is now made that the
district mills are covering their
regular customers in bars, plates and
shapes for the remainder of the year to
the extent that the mills will have the
steel to spare.
Pittsburgh mills do not admit making
any contracts beyond the third quarter
What occurs as to buying and selling
really furnishes very little criterion as
to the future. of the steel market say in
the second half Of this year. The real
question Is as to consumption Of steel
with prices higher than in a dozen years.
Buyers may buy. but they do not really
know what the consumption will be six
months or a year hence; they are merely
taking what appears to be by far the
safer end Of the bet.
