The most nepicuous movement was in Delaware, jackawanna and Western, which rose by rapid stages, meking a new high recori each stage, to 281%. It was expected nat the annual statement would be issued to-day, and the street forecast of earnings is of a) 1ate of from 16 to 20 per cent.

Rock advance of 5% marke: supply of this stock be inerease of Moore npn-enuuv- in the direc- torate and the extension of common interests v by some of the most infuen- banks and trust companies were cited as motives for the advance.

In other words, current weather con- ditione, such as heavy snowfalls, east, west and north, tend to check buying except of purely seascnable goods at retail and to limit slightly the volume of demand in ‘Wholesale lines.

T i N PR T S Ty 2 NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Review of Trade to-morrow will say: Despi some drawbacks the business situation con- tinues satisfactory, with especially good news from manufacturing centers. Labor disputes are somewhat more numerous and low water stopped mills in parts of the Northwest. Speclal lines were stimulated by the stormy weather, but. the conditions affected others adversely. Footwear shops in New England have large orders for spring goods and are still busy on seasonable lines, while weekly shipments con- tinue to exceed those of last year. Wholesale buyers are in the Boston market, but.show an inclination to delay placing contracts at the present advanced prices. Hides have de- clined still further. Even at the lowest point of the week wheat was be and corn 18c higher than at the cor- responding date last year. Foreign buying of wheat was not perceptibly stimulated- by the lower prices, but there contlnued a steady outgo aggregating 3,646,723 bushels for th Week, flour included, compared with 3,324,768 bushéls a vear ago. Liabilities of commercial failures during four weeks of January aggregated $12,002,007, of which $5,683,302 were in manufacturing, $6,- 435,984 in trading and $782,631 In other strictly commercial lines.

Routine news, while favoring buyers to some extent, was of an indifferent sort. Cables were slightly lower, Argentina shipments were still much smaller than a year ago and the receipts in the North- west were light. The Southwestern markets were bullish and on the breaks scalpers bought and ehorts covered. Trade, however, was lg;ht in volume. This led speculgtors to’ the argu- ment that business was too small to hold the advance In the market when the vit turned bearish. Professionals turned sellers, the sea- { board reported a slack export demand and per- sistent selling ceused declines. The fluctua- tions were small, with a steady lower trend.

The Northwest sold heavily, The market in general was heavy and a further decline was expected. Consider- able long wheat came out on stop orders at 7Sc. Winter wheat was reported looking well, being now amply covered with snow, but California was reported to need rain badly.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs. Butter is very firm and quotations are high- er, as will be seen. The exchange advanced i both creameries and dairies lc. Stocks are light. There is no improvement in Cheese. For the best Eggs 2lc is about the top, as | this is the limit the North will pay in this | market, and even this includes the furnishing ! of cases, etc., which cuts something off this figure, Any further advance would shut off | the Northern demand and stocks here would | immediately accumulate. There is a very | good demand for the lower grades, as the re- cent_shipping orders have pretty well cleaned up the market for these goods. In fact, stocks of all descriptions are small, but deaiers are losing no sales, as the market is apt to break suddenly at this time of the year. The feel- {ing, however, is firm. The Victoria steamer | yesterday took out 192 cases for British Co- lumbia_points. Recelpts were 34,400 pounds, 27 tubs and | kegs of Butter, ‘pounds of Eastern Butter, i26_cases of Egss, cases of East- on Eege. 16,130 pounds o California Cheese, H peunds of Oregon Cheese.and —— pounds | ot_Kastern Cheese. | BUTTER—(J mery, 26@27c 1b | for per firsts’ and 24c dairy, 1712 !‘ ic; store Butter, Creamery l'ub 20c; Pickled Roll, 18@19¢; Keg, T6@18c per LHEESE—\QW, 11@11%¢; old, 10@10%ec; Young America, 12@13c; Eastern,” 13@10c per pound.
