Selling pressure on several active
issues of the oil group caused reac-

Local Hide Market Firmer

Rejecting increased strength in the
Western markets, the local hide mar
ket yesterday was more firm. In packer
hides Of which the supply available is
small, the demand was especially keen.
With some packers reported to have
sold large quantities ahead of kill, tho
prospect for further advances in prices
is considered bright More strength
in country hides also was apparent.

said to involve close to $50 900, 900, are
being discussed in credit circles. Ac-
ccrding to one credit authority, the pres

by the ease with which small retailers

by the business slump.

bonds TO a total OF Si.7i6 900 .DCJ. the
report says The commissien points
out however. that this total repre-
scented for the greatest part refunding
operations, not involving new and in
creased Investments.
Discussing railroad earnings, the
commission says the carriers Income
and expenses have effected the unset
ed Industrial coHGttlon ons. and that, de-
spite the reduction OF the working
forces by half q million men and iow-
ering OF the cest OF materials and cats

The 6 per cent net earning rate is
taat recognized by Congress IN the

In its recommendations the commits
sion asks Congress t. reconsider Sec

thoriz; ng preferential rail ra es on ship

ultimate effect may be merely to di

pended by agreement between the Ship

Other Recommends atoms
Other recommendations of the com
mission are:
Amendment Of the Interstate Com
merce act 80 as clearly to provide
whether and, If so, how voluntary CON
solicitations of carriers may be -fected
rending innate adoption by the com
mission of a complete plan of consuli-
dation.
Rail Labor Board
The commission, in discussing It's re-
lations with the Railroad Labor Board
says: While the law makes 40 pro-
vision fer coordination between the
Labor Board and the commission. the
Gesirahiiity of contact between the two
bodies is appreciated. Since the crea-
tion Of The Labor Board informal con-
ferences have been held from time to
time, and will without doubt be con-
sinued in the future"
In commenting on the work Of the
Bureau OF Safety. the commission sum
marizes the statistics Tor 1890, showing
6,4s5 persons killed in connection with
the operation of railroad trains and
63,7S6 injured. Of the killed only 900
were passengers and 2,166 were tres
passers and 2,19s employees.

Wheat in Stronger
Demand at Higher
Prices; Corn Off
Strength i'll Northwest Is
Reflected i'm Gains in
Chicago After Early
Weakness; Visible Drops

The news in the wheat market was
not of definite character either way,
but after an early decline of ia to 2
cents, under scattered commission
house selling, prices rallied sharply
and at the close of the day showed net
gains of IA to 3 cents.
Offers were limited and the strength
in the market was attributed largely
to the technical position and a general
absence of selling pressure. The news
from Washington on the progress of
the tariff bill indicated strong opposi-
tion and the possibility that the bill
will never come to a final vote.
There was no definite information
from the Argentine regarding the ex-
port tax, although there was a private
estimate which indicated that the re-
cent crop figures showing surplus of
140,000,000 bushels were probably ex-
aggerated. Export orders were COM
paratively light and the volume of
sales here were extremely small. The
strength in the Winnipeg market and
sharp advance in rye had tendency
to sustain values.
The visible supply in the United
States decreased 1881 900 bushels for
the week.
In the local market No. 3 red and
No. 2 hard were quoted at S2.05a c. i.

Advance in Cotton
To New High Mark
For the Movement
Shorts Good Buyers as De-
mand Increases and Re-
covery Carries Values Up
&c a Pound From Low

The cotton market showed continued
increasing strength yesterday, with
prices making new high ground for the
movement which started at the begin
ming of the year. The feature was the
strength of January deliveries.
Some cotton is coming here from the
South and it is believed that by the
end of the month there will be fully
10000 bales of certificated cotton here.
1t seems, however, that this prospect. is
not sufficient to cover the necessities
of the short interest and buyers were
forced to pay up to 1875 for January
contracts, making an advance of 115
points from the closing quotation of
Saturday and Of more than 4c pound
from the low record touched toward
the end Of the old year. Later deliv-
cries sold 81 to 78 points net higher,
and the market closed very steady at
net advances of 81 to 105 points.
The strength of sterling exchange
the advance. 1t was accompanied by
talk of better export inquiry, while
there were also reports that the in
creasing activity of domestic mills was
leading to a better demand for home
consumption.
The census report, showing 1862
23O bales ginned prior to January l.,
against 10,0OS,92O last year, was just
about in line with forecasts and had
no special influence.
AS officially reported, Southern spot
markets were unchanged to rs points
higher, with moderate volume of busi-
ness. Houston quoted middling cotton
at 15c, compared with 1910, the recent
low record in the Southwest and mid
ding quotations now range from 1880
to 1925.
The local market for spot cotton was
steady and 115 points higher at 1925
for middling. No sales were reported.
