GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. February 11.-Hignest
prices on the present upturn IN the
wheat market were realized To-Day
but were not maintained at the nnlsh
and a sag was noted just at the close.
However, the resting spots were
to "a higher, with May at 1.33al 80 *
and July at 117Ba1.18. Corn closed
u lower to Il higher. while oats
finished unchanged to u higher.
With a double holiday ahead there
was considerable evening up In the
wheat market. and May sold at a
new high on the present upturn. and
the average for the day was higher.
Reports of the continued drought in
the southwest and the fact that the
forecast suggested no moisture in Kan
sas overnight were effective influences.
Corn and oats held within narrow
limits, with a general disposition to
even up for the holidays on the part
of the local element. Buenos Aires
corn closed 2a3 higher, but this had
little effect here. Oats were dull,
with commission houses fair sellers.
The provision market was dull, with

DEMAND FOR STEEL
BROADENS SLIGHTLY

NEW YORK. February 1.-THE
demand for steel has broadened
slightly, and the volume of business
during the week showed moderate
improvement. Interest was centered
largely in structural materials and
plate. although there was fair busi-
ness doing in wire products. There
were also good orders in sight from
the railroads. While the market ap-
peared steady on the surface, 1t was
said that concessions were obtatnable
on more than moderate-sized lots.
Pig iron experienced a brisk de-
mand in spots. but, on the whole. the
market was quiet and barely steady.
with producers anxious for business:
The copper market 1a,s has nrssanR contanuen en

quarters, partly over the increased

not disposed to offer freely for March

In zinc domestic demand is quiet.
but 1t is said that conditions are still
favoring q near approach OF export
business, and there has been some ex-
mort inquiry from abroad. There -

Production of fabricated steel and

COTTON MARKETS FIRM.
Short Covering Ahead of Holiday
Features the Trading.

NEW YORK, February 11.-The
covering of shorts ahead Of the holi-
days was a feature in the cotton
market today, which promoted gen
eral drmness and advanced prices at
one time eighteen to twenty-four
points above the previous close. with
March selling at 1885, May 1906 and
July 1853. The opening was steady
at an advance of seven to ten points
ana no aggressive offerings were en-
countered until just before the close
when profit-taking sales appeared
weakening prices slightly and leaving
the market barely steady at the last.
with prices nine to eighteen points
net higher.
Both the west and Wall street were
good buyers during the second hour
on the firm developments in the grain
market, and there was early buying
OF March by Liverpool and the trade
which did much to sustain the early
advance in the market here. Bulls
pointed to the firm attitude of the
British government in both India and
ireland and to the Geddes report ad-
vocating big savings in British ex-
penditures as likely to improve the
foreign situation.
1t was also agreed that the Fall
River sales of 100000 pieces for the
wee'-. with curtailment of only sc, ,0o0
pieces, offered encouragement to
oPCCuldlISc buyers, OHSettlnR to some
extent the continued apprehension
over New England labor conditions
and the dullness of the goods trad,
In this city. Clear. warm weathc,
prevails over the cotton belt, and
there were further reports of i'm
provement in spot demand through
out the south.
NEW ORLEANS. February H.
Covering of the short interest an
new buying for long account in con
siderable volume put the price of cot
ton higher today from the opening.
Highest levels were reached toward
the close, when the March position
traded at 1851, and the list was at
gains OF twenty three to twenty
eight points. Just on the close the
demand was much less urgent. and
last prices were at net gains on the
day of but thirteen to nineteen
points, with March at 1921.
Covering by shorts here was quick
ened by the report from New York
that large short line, estimated by
some people at 10000 bales, was be-
ing covered in that market The
market was carried to it's highest
prices by a private bureau estimate
Of 562, 900 bales as the amount of cot
ton consumed by American mills dur
ing January. This, compared with
511,800 consumed during December
and only 366.463 during January of
last year. These figures did much to
onset the reports from New England
that the mill strike still continues to
spread.
