Chicago Market

BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,


CHICAGO, Dec 10 Renewed
heavy buying. which for almost three
weeks has been skyrocketing wheat
values, gave the market another
sharp advance of about cents q
bushel today. establishing new high
prices for the last two years.
Rye and soy beans also scared to
two-year highs, while oats WAS priced
within fractions of the best level
since 1887.
Wheat buying was inspired by Z
low ofncial Argentine crop estimate,
reports of the first sales of United
States grain for export in some time,
continuation of the drought and in
dications that the Government will
prevent any heavy imports of foreign
wheat into this country which may
be warranted should domestic prices
get much further above world levels.
Opening with gains of more than
cent. the wheat market soon struck
steadily rising trend as buying
fever increased. Persistent profit
taking caused only one or two frac-
tional reactions during the session.
Closing prices were at the days highs
or 3A -3's higher than yesterday.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Non- fer
rous metals showed slipping tenden-
cies pricewise this week, while many
other basic materials were swirled
to near-record levels.
Copper for export was principally
affected in domestic markets.
Early in the week several impor-
tant sellers lowered their price to
1915 cents from around 1875. Ex-
port metal for delivery in February
was priced around 12.50-12.6O cents.
Producers, meanwhile, adhered to
the 1871 -cent level without attract
ing more than routine inquiry.
Trade sources cited the usual desire
to keep down inventories near the
year end.
Current demand for lead was at
low ebb. But dealers took q CHEEKY
view of the immediate future as
they pointed out consumer needs for

ter covered. Price held firm at $50

their steady climb to new records
here in November and indicated that
in the last four years around 100000
persons have been added to the

which in November also stood at the
highest levels in the history of the
Capital.
Store sales in the month were 9.4
per cent ahead of year ago, as pre-
viously reported, but, in addition,
were 12l per cent above 1897, 1873
per cent above 1886, 698 per cent
above 1888 and 2l6 per cent above
even the 1929 month.
Volumes in the first II months of
this year were per cent above a
year ago. 33 per cent above 1887
levels, 1876 per cent above 1885, 58.3
per cent above 1888 and 1871 per
cent above the same 1929 period.

Use of telephones in the District

new high ground. Originating calls
per day averaged l.l24,434 during
the month, compared with 1,l18,94l
in the previous month and 1925 ,244
in November, 1888.
November averages in other years

In other words, an average of 427, =
044 more telephone calls each day
were handled during this November
than in the same month of 1881.
No wonder the telephone company
has had to spend millions to keep
abreast Of new business. Call rec
ords for adjoining Maryland and
Virginia sections are not available,
but undoubtedly they would show
amazing increases also.
Transit Business Up.
Capital Transit joined the parade
to new records during November
when revenue passengers reached
the highest level for that month in
the history of the company or its
predecessors.
The street cars and buses for the
month registered 14,749, ,799 persons,
which was slightly behind 15,028, ,644
in the previous month, but other
wise was the highest for any month
on record. The November total
compared with 13,605,196 in the
same month year ago.
The ll-month passenger volume
OF l56 1885 1882 was we'll ahead of
both 1887 and 1888 periods, but still
fell short of the 1896 period. al
though the margin was cut to less
than a million. With the advance
continuing this month, it is expected
that passengers for the full year of
1889 will exceed 1886 marks and go
to new all-time highs.
