Wheat Receivers
After Decline TO
Lowest of Season
May Contracts Sell at New
Bottom Level, but Export
Bids Help Prices Later;
Tariff Plans Also Factor

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.--lnsertion of high
er wheat duties in the emergency tariff
bill together with an upturn in export
bids helped bring about an advance in
the wheat market to-day. The close
was firm at a to 1 q C net higher, with
March $t.521a to,$1,52% and May $1.44
to s1.44A. Corn gained &c to Ac and
oats &c to &c to &c The finish in
provisions was 10c to 15c down.
Strength in the wheat market developed
almost entirely during the last part of the
day. Previous to noon the chief factor APP
peared to be selling on foreign account,
and on the resulting decline the May de-
livery touched the lowest price yet for the
present crop. Meanwhile reports were cir
culated that the British Royal Commission
wes reselling Argentine wheat, presumably
to Germany, and that Germany had also
bought wheat from Australia. About mid
day. however sentiment changed to con-
siderable degree, many shorts covering and
Northwestern houses buying. Renewed
interest shown in the emergency tariff
bill throughout the remainder of the ses
sion, and vt was said export demand had
improved, especially for low grade -four.
Corn and oats swayed with wheat. A
little export business in corn was noted.
Besides rural, offerings of corn were small.

Argentine Wheat
Prices Break SOC
In Heavy Sellineg, 9,
Turnover Nears 1000, 900
Bush. a Day; Barring Quo
tations i'm Chicago Fails to
Alarm Buenos Ayres Trade

BUENoS AYREs, Feb. S.--Wheat
futures have broken severely in she
Boisa dc Comcrcio here during the
week, prices falling the equivalent OF
so cents 81 bushel on tremendous
speculative turnover equal to 100000
bushels day. 1t is asserted that Ar
gentina is beginning it's great annual
crop movement with surplus for ex.
portation estimated at $500 900 tons OF
wheat, and that this country is a
dominating factor in the worlds grain
market.
The decision of the Chicago Board
of Trade on Wednesday to discontinue
posting Argentine grain quotations is
as equivalent to "an ostrich hiding his
head in the sand" Many prominent
members agreed to-day it was impos-
sible for the Chicago board to ignore
Argentine quotations, and they said
if the board refused to post them Of
ficially grain firms in the United States
would be compelled to obtain the fig
ures on their own initiative.
Reference made on Wednesday by
j. P. Griffin, president Of the Chicago
board, to the alleged fact that Argen-
tine quotations did not "intelligently
reflect the supply and demand situa-
tion,"' resulted to-day. in local specula
tors bringing forward North American
production exceeds consumption re-
quirements by 170,000,000 bushels.
These figures were cited to prove the
recent fall of prices, both here and in
Chicago, was in obedience to economic
laws.
1t was pointed out that as domestic
consumption in Argentina is small in
comparison with that of the United
States, Argentine prices must be gov
erened to q great extent by export de-
mand. European buyers at present re-
fuse to enter the market here, chiefly,
it is said, because Of the uncertainty
as to whether the Argentine govern
mert will reimpose the export surtax
on wheat, which expired on December
81. Such action was intimated re-
Gently IN government sources, and this,
with the lateness of the crop and the
heavy yield, is said to have caused the
break In futures.
Assertion is made in authoritative
CHARTERS that in such a big market and
with such a huge crop being moved It
IS impossible for any group of firms
TO dominate quotations, as was charged
in the statement issued in Chicago on
Wednesday. 1t is added that prices of
wheat here represent the true stua-
tion. Brokers on the Bolsa to-day
greeted with ironic cheers and jeers
the arrival of Chicago noon quotations
showing big declines.
A grain trade committee to-day
called upon President Irigoyen, ask
ing him for definite declaration re-
garding the export surtax. The Presi-
dent replied that if the trade could
agree on a minimum price which would
safeguard the interests Of farmers
the government would study solu-
tion tending to satisfy all interests"

Manufacturers Should Com
tinue to Make Concessions,
Opinion of Retailers and
Jobbers; Prices Unsteady

Improvement in hosiery and under
wear lines, one Of the leading indus
tries of eastern Pennsylvania is re-
ported in the February report on busi-
ness conditions in the Third Federal
Reserve District, issued by the Federal
Reserve agent at Philadelphia.
According to this report jobbers and
retailers, during the first week in Jan
uary were Of the opinion that the bur-
den was still on the hosiery manufac-
turers and that. they should continue
to make price concessions and give
longer datings and price guarantees.
"This," says the reserve agent, "miIl
owners and sailing agents refused to
do, and, beginning with the second
week of the month, several jobbers, in
urgent need Of hosiery, placed orders
for immediate delivery. AS other job
bcrs entered the market and these or
ders increased in size prices for par
ticular numbers in demand showed ad-
vances Of several cents on the dozen.
Hosiery prices in general have been
lowering around such exceptionally
low levels that they are sensitive to
any show of activity.
with the increase in quotations for
raw silk the prices Of full fashioned
silk hosiery also showed considerable
strengthening. The orders are prac-
tically all for immediate delivery; some
few have February datings, but there
is almost none beyond this date.
FINISHED stocks of many numbers
are decidedly low, and unless orders
are orthcoming and operations re-
sumed a shortage in these may de-
velop. There is no sanger Of a gem
eral scarcity Of hosiery, however,"
Fairsized orders for knitted under
wear for immediate and early spring
delivery, says the report, were received
by manufacturers during January, with
the result that the price situation is
rapidly clearing.
Distress stocks" says the Federal
Reserve agent, "have disappeared from
the market and price cutting has large
~ ceased. The new quotations take
INTO account the 10 TO Is per cent re-
ductlons in wages which have been gen
eral throughout the industry"
