ROADS ORDER EQUIPMENT.
Manufacturers Assert Market II
Far From StaEnant.

Manufa acturers of railroad equipment
say that although their business is not
booming and railroads have adopted a
hand to mouth policy which fulfils their
bare needs their market is far from
stagnant.
The largest order of last week was for
10 600 tons of steel rails for the Union
Pacific Railroad Company to be manu-
factured by the United States Steel Cor
poration. It is not believed that this
order is all OF the roads 1921 steel rail
purchases and that it probably is a pre-
liminary order to care for immediate
needs The price was SAT ton.
Among other orders of the week were
two locomotives from the American Lo-
comotive Company for the Turnbull
Cliffs Furnace Company of Cleveland,
157 seventy ton gondola cars for the
Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Com
pany from the Chickasaw Shipbuilding
Company of Birmingham, 100 forty ton
stock cars for the Louisville and Nash
Vile from the American Car and Foun-
dry Company, 500 box cars for that road
from the Mount Vernon Car Manufactur-
ing Company, 400 forty ton coke cars
and 500 ffty-fve ton gondola cars for
that road from the Chickasaw Shipbuild-
ing Company.

CHIcGAo. Feb 6.--A report that Greece
was trying to buy wheat In this country
sharply advanced that cereal to-day and
prices averaged higher. closing at the
top. Green bug talk from Texas also
was factor. Coarse grains were af-
fected by the strength In wheat. At the
finish wheat was up 3 to 4%c with
March S1.57 a 1.57h and May s1.4TH a
1.41A I; corn showed a net advance OF
IL Qp1 &c. oats were / as a esc. higher.
Provisions ranged 221a @471sc. lower.
An oversold condition was disclosed
in the wheat market when shorts tried
to cover and the advance was easily at
talned. AS far as known Greece did
not buy any wheat here to-day. Argen-
tine wheat was regarded as cheaper
than domestic and 1t was figured by
seaboard handlers that 1t would be laid
down at New York with freight costs
included at somewhat less than the do
mestic hard winter wheat from Chicago.
Sentiment on the whole was somewhat
less bearish, partly because OF the big
decline in prices Of late.
Coarse grains averaged higher and 1t
the outside figures showed above the
finish of a week ago. The advance was
rather sharp after a minor dip early IN
the session. Buying by shorts and week.
end evening up had much to do with the
upturn. Country offerings were not

tions predicted for the week.

TWO STOCK ISSUES
In COPPER SCHEME
Plan foH Financing Country's
~
Surplus Comprehends Com
mon and Preferred.

Under the plan for financing the coun-
try's copper surplus. which is understood
10 have been agreed to by producers who
are members of the Copper Export As
socfation and the syndicate of bankers
headed by the Guaranty Trust Company
and the National City Company, two is
sues of stock. a preferred class and a
common class. will be made. None Of
that stock. It is understood. will be Of
fered TO the public. but will be retained
by the companies and the banks under
writing the debenture issue, for which
the public will be allowed to subscribe.
The preferred stock. according to In
formation obtained in authoritative
quarters. viii be taken by the producing
companies. 1t will have a fixed divi-
dend and may be made cumulative. The
common stock is to be retained by the
banking interests, and dividends on the
two classes OF stock are to be paid out
OF the profits resulting from the sale OF
the trusteed copper for more than 10
cents pound. The copper is to be
pledged behind the debentures for 10
cents pound. but IL is believed that a
very great majority OF it will be sold
for export for considerably more than
that amount. and it is from that differ
ence in price that the earnings on the
stock will accrue.
Because they deemed the terms of the
bankers little too drastic. IT Is under
stood that most of the copper producing
companies not members of the Copper
Export Association have declined to en-
ter into the agreement-for the financing
of their copper surplus. The surplus OF
those so-called Independent companies.
1t is understood. is less than 100000
pounds and therefore will not be too big
a burden for them to carry without as
sistance. They feel. It was said yester-
day. that Germany Is the biggest po-
tential consumer OF copper for export.
and inasmuch as many Of those inde-
pendents have excellent German connec-
tions, they do not believe It Will be
necessary for them to enter into the
agreement to dispose of their compara-
lively small surplus. But acting for
themselves they will save thus the earn
ings which, through their common stock
holdings. would accrue to the banks from
the sale of the metal.

COTTON GOODS REVIEW.

The weakness in raw cotton markets
and the quieter tone OF general business
operated last week against cotton goods.
Prices on print cloths have softened and
the volume of business has lessened.
Following the low prices made last
month mills obtained orders enough to
warrant resuming operations and the
output in mill centres has been showing
a steady increase The movement OF
goods Is very fair owing to the general
desire for quick shipments. Jobbing
markets In certain centres report a stead
ly increasing volume of small orders
from retailers. Buyers are very exactlng
in asking low prices and are not inter-
ested easily in any cloths that have been
advanced.
Ginghams appear TO be in a stronger
position than are other fabrics. Domes-
tics in wide sheetlngs. sheets. pillow tub
ings and finer grades Of bleached cottons
have been well sold for this month and
March by most large agencies and are
holding their values steadily. Many
lines still are withdrawn ater mills have
sold all they care to sell on the low
basis.
Wash fabrics are selling moderately.
Most converters report trade as SUBJ
normal. although In much better valume
than at any time since September. Fin
ishers are increasing their operations
slowly. and in general are about so per
cent. employed.
The yarn markets have become very
quiet and n softening trend Of coarser
numbers Is noted. Knit goods sales
continue Of moderate volume only.
Prices current are Print cloths, %

COTTON MARKET
CONTINUES TO GAIN
Advances of Half Cent a Pound
Are Made by Most of
the Options.

The cotton market continued 10 re-
cover yesterday and scoring a further
gain OF almost "a cent pound In most
options on moderately heavy short COW
ering for over the week end. The rise
was accelerated by the absence of any
particular pressure. Demand was fairly
good throughout the session and pa-ti-
cularly 80 in the last half ho.'r. when
many months touched thoir high for
the day. On the whole. sentiment was
somewhat improved, due to more favor
able reports from Industrial centres.
Several New England cotton mills are
to resume night work, and many South
ern mills are preparing for a revival OF
trade by placing big contracts for the
installation Of new machinery.
After an opening of to 13 points ret
! advance. the list met new buying from
Liverpool interests and room shorts. and
before the end Of the first hour was
about 20 to so points over Fridays final
prices. Generally speaking. the action
OF values reflected a typical Saturday
market following a week of lower prices.
That the markets technical position
was better was evident. Selling was
checked by belief OF many operators
that Liverpool cables might show
strength tomorrow because of aban-
donment of the excess profits tax.
Early frmness In securities and the
steadiness of foreign exchange aided
the bull crowd in the first hour Weekly
statistics played no part in determining
the action Of prices. Although exports
have shown no sign OF falling off. the
seasons total is still considerably less
than that of the corresponding 1920
period. Business was fairly active in
the final half hour, near months re-
ceivirg the best support. March sold
up to 1887. a net advance Of ~ points.
At the close prices were bit under
the top. but the markets undertone was
firm. Local spot was quoted as IS
points net higher at 14.l0 cents.

SOLD ROAD CHEAP, IS CHARGE
wickwirc Says Price for Denver
and II. G. Grossly inadequate.

Charges that the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad Company was sold for
a grossly inadequate sum are made by
Arthur M. Wickwire, counsel to its
stockholders protective committee. who
said in letter sent yesterday to direc-
tors of the road that he represented
1,400 of its stockholders.
Mr.. Wickwire called attention to the
recent decision of the Supreme Court in
the Alice Gold Mining Company against
the Anaconda Copper Company, and
says that the committee proposes to pro-
ceed along the lines of action made pos
sible by that decision.
During the last few months" he said
to the directors "the directors and Off
GERS of the Denver and Rio Grande have
been mute and immovable while death
blow was being dealt to the company.
They have supinely allowed properties
of enormous value, doubtless worth over
$50. 900. 900, to be sold at the absurd
price OF $5 200. 900 under a defective and
unintelligible notice of sale. whereby
free assets worth millions OF dollars
were not revealed"
