CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-Ra-Wheat
prices continued to fluctuate ner-
vously today in a typical pre.grow-
ing season trade.
After dipping 1858 cent to with
in Is of the lowest level since mid
December, the market more than re
covered it's loss. Led by May con-
tracts, the only option which could
not be satisfied by delivery of new
1910 wheat, prices pushed up 1 1-8
to j 3-8 cents from early lows and
closed unchanged to 3-4-cent higher
compared with yesterday, May
SO 1899, July So 5-8-1-2.
Corn closed unchanged to IA
higher, May 81 1-4-3-S, July 81 IA;
oats 1914 up; rye S-S higher and
lard Els lower.
Trade in other ganis was quiet
although rye advanced in sympathy
with wheat. An official Argentine
estimate of corn acreage placed the
figure at 1875, 900 acres, Sc per
cent more than was planted last
year and the second largest area
in a number of years. While it is
too early for accurate figures, pri-
vate interests estimated the crop
possibility from 275, 900, 900 to AS
900, 900 bushels, depending On
weather.
Prospects of increased hog receipts
next week with warmer weather de-
pressed lard prices.

WEEKLY METALS

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-R-Do-
nestle copper was pounded down to
IL SIS cents a pound this week, the
lowest price since big guns started
to roar over Europe.
The lower price was posted by a
leading smelling interest while pro
ducers continued to quote - cents.
Sellers of the red metal dealers
said were forced by slow new de-
mand to ignore such factors as fav-
orable statistics for the final five
months of 1889, and the belief ship
ments this month against old or
ders were keeping up with the high
rate in December.
Export prices also developed a
downward slant. Copper for i'm
mediate shipment was priced at
II. 55-11.6O cents a pound F. A. S.
Lead and zinc were stricken with
the same blight on demand that af-
fected copper. Lead held steady at
5.50-5.50 cents a pound and zinc at
$50 cents east st. Louis.
An increase in new steel buying
was said to be too slight to indi-
cate a real revival in demand. Back
logs continued to be slashed and
most steel men admitted production
in the near future will probably be
further cut.

G. & E. BOOSTED
BY BUYING WAVE
Bond Traders, However, Pep.
per Rails With Selling
Orders

NEW YORK, Jan. 27-R)-While
bond traders peppered rail loans
with small selling orders in the stock
a buying stampede for
Standard Gas & Electric issues de.
veloped in the curb today.
A last minute rush for the Utility
company's loans, recently under
pressure, completely swanped the
specialists in these issues. Four
minutes before the close an order
to buy a total Of 1877 bonds came
through. When the smoke cleared
five minutes after the final gong, all
the issues had been closed at IS, up
around Z points.
Counter To Course
The downward shift in the carriers
was counter to the course taken
most of the week. Brokers said the
current flow of favorable revenue
reports apparently had provided
buying stimulus earlier, but today
more weight seemed to be given to
the slackening in industrial activity.
Fractions lower were such issues
as Nickel Plate 4 LIS at So IA, FRS
co 4 lbs of '78 at II, St. Paul IS at
6 IL and Erie 5s of rs at ID ga.
Utility liens shuffled uncertainty.
A check Of definite action in this
group was the study being given to
S. e. c. Chairman Franks recent
statement concerning indignation of
the power companies.
p Portland General Electric 4 lbs
lost 1 IA at 70 3.4. The issue had
been hammered lower last week, but
later rallied.
U. S. government bonds played
over a range of around 4.32d point
either way.
The main trend was to slightly
lower prices among foreign dollar
loans. One of the liveliest, Brazil 6
LIS, dipped 1-8 to 16 7-8 and Canada
is lost IL at SO.

turned out to be.
Weather Hits Trade
Retail and wholesale trade which
had profited by cold weather
through most of the nation, suf-
1ered when the thermometer went
sub-zero, and the south was swept
with snow. 1t held it's own better
than production, but showed less in
crease than had been expected.
The stock market, not SURF
whether it had already discounted
IN lower prices the depths of the
business decline, piddled along
throughout the week, on very small
volume, without getting anywhere.
If business had any advice to give
1t, whether gloomy or optimistic,
the counsel was ignored.
Not all business executives viewed
the picture as blank. In some in.
dustries it was thought new buying
to sustain high rates Of output
would appear in late February OF
March, when present inventories
still reported as lower than a veal
ago, were depleted. Others consid
cred six months a reasonable time
in which to build up new demand
Spring is a normal time for expan-
sion, but last year betterment was
delayed until summer by the soft
coal tieup.

NEW YORK L T

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-G9-Cot-
ton futures, like the boys in the
Alger books, overcame early handi-
caps today and closed 4 points high
er to / lower.
Bombay shot selling orders at the
local ring in the morning following
new declines in the East Indian
market. This stopped rather abrupt
ly and when only scattered hedge
offerings and small realizing orders
appeared for sale, prices quickly re
sponded to trade buying.
Reports of an excess profits tax
to be levied in India led to con-
siderable speculation among cotton
brokers. Many thought this might
lead to a restraining effect on the
a%rbitrage operations between New
York and Bombay which have re-
Gently kept the domestic market
boiling.
Worth street cotton dealers had
one answer for the failure of buyers
to respond to lowered cloth prices:
The violent fluctuations in the flu

Only meager business was trans
acted at shaky prices.

Southern, United Corp. and Cont

in blocks of 10000 to 10000 shares
