May, which closed yesterday at 9%c, opened to-day at 97%@9Th%c. There was considerable selling by interests who have been putting wheat on the market for some time past, but the demand .was so great that the price ad- vanced steadily, not stopping untll 95c had been reached. There were two big factors in the advance—the Leiter shipments abroad and the Liverpool strength. The former was given the most attention. It was stated on the floor and not denied by the Leiter interests that ar- rangements are being made for the ship- ment of 4,000,000 bushels of wheat to the sea- board. Contracts have already been let for 2,000,000 bushels of this, it is sald, and the moving away of so much cash wheat has had a marked effect on shorts. Liverpool was very strong, early cables showing %d advance, and later advices showed that market 1@1%d up. Private cables said the strength was on con- sumptive demand and light supply. Liverpool has recelved but 272,000 bushels in six days, not much over a third of the weekly consumptive demand. Argentine shipments for the week were 712,000 bushels, much less than generally expected. After advancing to %c, the market eased off somewhat. There was a let-up in the urgent demand with the usual selling by peo- ple who have been playing for a break and May reacted to 97%c. Then for an hour the price moved between §7%c and Y, most of the time being at about 97%c. After that the market agaln become active and very strong. Late cablegrams brought liberal buying orders to the seaboard and about an hour from the close here it was stated that seventy boat loads had been taken for export. A considerable por- tion was from Philadelphia and Baitimore. Three steamers chartered were supposed to be for Leiter's grain. Closing cables were all firm aud higher. The announcement of the export business gave a touch of genuine excite- ment to the market, sending shorts to cover in a hurry and the price was sent up to 98%e, the top figure of the day. Then the market quieted down. May was bringing $T%@%T%c at_the clos There was a greatly Increased speculative trade in corn and the market was very strons. Nearly all the big bulls “doubled up' on their lines and the price went above 30c after a hard flght. Commission houses sold freely, but everything was taken. The strength In wheat and ‘the unfavorable weather were influences. A good export demand was reported. May ranged from 30%c to 29%c, and closed ke higher at 80@30%c. Oats strong and prices got to the highest point of the crop. May closed %@%c, other at_25%@26c. There was a strong market for provisions with trade as a whole unimportant, closing steady. The strength of the grain markets ana moderate stocks were influences. May pork closed Tic higher; May lard 2igc higher, and May ribs 2%c higher.

It Is understood that the idea of forming a combination of some sort has not been abandoned, but it is stated that there is little chance of anything posi- tive In that direction being done this season. In speaking of the situation and the causes that have led up to the movement to form a combination of Columbia River packers a prominent Pacific Coast commission merchant, Who has been visiting the trade here, sald: The Columbia River packers have lost so much trade through the competition of cheaper £00d8 that they realize the necessity of get- Ung together and making a united front, but they have not been successful in reaching an agreement, as they lack confidence in each other. At present petty jealousies keep. the packers from coming to an understanding, but t Is probable that eventually, in general in- terest, these differences will be buried and an effective organization will be formed.” BRADSTREET'S REVIEW. NEW YORK, Feb. 1L—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: A number of favorable circum- stances and events present themselves this Week. Perhaps the most notable of these are the renewed activity and confidence In the iron and steel market, accompanied by prompt and even rapid advances in several grades of PIgiron and steel and the advance in the price of raw cotton. What might be regarded as a minor feature in the businesssituation, though at the same time containing much that is hope- ful to the interest involved, is & quite general Improvement in distributive trade and demand in the Central West and in the South, where 8pring trade is reported opening in good shape. Less favorable features of the week are the slowness of spring trade in dry goods at New York and other Eastern centers except Boston, and the mild weather in the Northwest render- ing It likely that retailers’ stocks carried over Will be longer than earlier expected. Althbugh the advance In cotton has been claimed to be too rapld, it has undoubtedly imparted a much more cheerful tone to the Southern business situation, and with the adyance in fron and steel has done much to add to the confidence With which the trade outlook for 1398 is re- garded. Business faflures continue to make favorable comparisons with previous weeks and years, the total for the week just ended being 218, against 265 last week, 301 in the corre- Sponding week of 157, 351 in this week of 195, 29 In 1895 and 288 in 1884. Canadian failures for the week number 51, against 42 last week, but compare with 54 in this week a year ago and 70 in the corresponding week of 1596, Wheat exports fall slightly below last week’s Teduced total, aggregating for the week 3,419,004 bushels, against 2,635,000 bushels last week, 2,051,000 bushels in tha corresponding week of 1897, 2,718,000 bushels in 1596, 2,572,000 bushels in 1895 and 2,005,000 bushels In 1504 Corn exports show a zain, amounting as they do to 4.038,000 bushels, against 4,104,000 bushels last week, 4,109,000 bushels in this week last | Jear, 3+ 143,000 bushels in 159 and 562,000 bushels Bank clearings continue to point to an im- fmense business doing in the chuntry ot Tnrge, In @ total aggregating for the week 1,434,000, . less than 2 per cent smaller than last r’e'k' 92 per cent larger than in the correspond- ng week last year, 58 per cent larger than this Week in 189, 74 per cent larger than 1595, 2 per cent larger than in 1804 and 6.3 per cent larger than this week In 1802 BANK CL RINGS.

The Illinois Steel Company has contracted for 1,000,000 tons Bes- semer ore and producers of other ranges count upon an advance in prices. Bessemer pig rose to §10 15 and gray forge to 39 at Pitts- burg with finished products generally stronger and in large demand at this season. Rail contracts already cover, it is sald, more than last year's production, the railways buy- Ing earlier than usual. Bar sontracts for cars, wagons, agricultural implements and other manufactures are heavy at the West, struc- tural contracts there are very numerous and at the East large, with 50,000 tons estimated for New York bulldings alone this year, while plate and sheet contracts for the season are unprecedented. January was one of the big- gest months in Connellsville coke output, 623, 475 tons, and furnace continued at the same price. Tin rose to 14 cents, in spite of heavy shipments, and copper to 11 cents or better for lake in epite of enormous American production. The rise In cotton, 6-16 of a cent, for the weex, results in_part from better prospects for man- ufacture here and abroad, but only in part The actual movement shows no change of con- sequence, but prices of goods have a stronger tone. With the better tone prevailing, this manufacture should soon feel the heavy de- mand which other industries are mesting. Wool ‘sales at the chief cities were only 5,- 303,200 pounds for the week, and 11,684,600 for two weeks, against 22,721,600 last vear. Prices are still strong in spite of the general indifference of manufacturers, who seem to have secured ample supplies. For the better grades of woolen goods an advance averaging 17.50 per cent advance from last year is readily maintained. The opening of works fdle for a year in spite of the heavy production already assured Is a striking fea- ture in this, as in the fron and other indue- tries, and {mplies heavier demands for pro- ducts than are now met by the unprecedented output. Wheat has been strong, with spot advancing 2 cents and May 2% cents, though Western recelpts have been for two weeks 5,536,178 bushels, against 3,317,975 last year, but Atlan- tio exports have been 5,274,433 bushels, flour included, against 4,026,659 in two weeks last year, with Pacific exports large. Corn exports are also surprisingly well sus- tained, 7,184,762, against 7,823,565 last year, and the price has advanced a trifie. It Is yet too early for prospects of a coming crop to Influ- ence markets materfally and heavy operations at Chicago with reported sales of 1,000,000 bush- els for export on Thursday have deterred spec- ulative selling. B Business shown by bank clearings is again larger than ever before, 54.7 larger than last year for the week and for the month to date 44.3 per cent larger than last year, and 16.0 per cent larger than in 18%2. Failures for the Week have been 25 in the United States, against 267 last year, and 43 In Canada, against 61 last year. BRADSTREET'S FINANCIAL REVIEW. o = | NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—Bradstreet's Financial | Review to-morrow will say: After a moderate depression ¢n the Cuban deyvelopments early in | the week, the stock market regained its bullish tone and showed further advancing tendencies. More or less liquidation of long stocks was | caused by the renewal of Cuban agitation in the Senate and the Incidents connected with the retirement of the Spanish Minister at Washington, and an unsettled feeling was | prevalent. At the same time the market seemed to be ripe for such a movement, large amounts of stocks having passed into weak leaving the market in a condition in |2 which even a slight reaction would have a beneficial effect. Another circumstance of some | importance which had a rather unsettling effect | was the attitude of the administration in re- | gard to the sale of the Kansas Pacific property | and the announcement that the Attorney-Gen- | eral, falling all other means of inducing the | Union Pacific reorganization committee to ralse the bid to the full amount of the treasury claims, the Government would pay the first mortgage, and as the owners of the 2 per cent | prior liens ask for indefinite postponement of the sale and appointment of a receiver in its’| own Interest. This coused selling of the vari- ous Union Pacific securities, though the firm- ness of the Kansas Pacific consolidated bonds | were noticeable, and later on the entire group | gained strength on the belief that a compro- | mise would be effected. The announcement of | the terms of the New York-Lake Shore ex- | change of securitles also had a tendency, not unusual in such cases, to cause seliing of | speculative holdings, although the marked strength of the other Vanderbilt stocks, par- ticularly Michigan Central, and the promi- nence glven to reports about an_exchange of that company’s stock for New York Central securities, had a_good effect on the market at large. Sharp advances in Northwestern and Omaha were also made on the revived report that those compantes would be consolidated and that perhaps the preferred stock of the former would be retired with a bond issue. Even in the face of the declining market of Tuesday and Wednesday the strength of Metropolitan Traction was a feature, its advances being of the extraordinary kind, and were only ac- counted for by the rumors of a stock dividend. | Commission houses were sellers in the early | part of the week, but the buying from this | source and by professionals at the declines was POTATOES—Farly Rose. 65@75c; River Reds, 55@65c; River Burbanks, 75@Sic per sack; Ore- gon Burbanks, $1@1 10; Salinas Burbanks, $ic@ $1 12%; Petaluma Burbanks, 70@%c; Sweet Pota- toes, 50@60c per ctl for Rivers and T5c@$l for Merced: new Volunteer Potatoes, 2@2ic per Ib.
