Future Grain and Provisions, CHICAGO, Feb. 2.—Notwithstanding the fact that the predicted cold wave failed to de- velop in the winter wheat section of the United States, numerous reports of damage to the fall-sown crop were recelved here to-day from that section. At the opening the mar- ket was inclined to be weak, May belng off %4 @%c, at B44@Si%c. Sentiment in the pit was generally bearish and there was free selling by the pit traders. A re- ported increase in _expofts from Ar- gentina of almost a million bushels over the the selling movement. During the early part of the session the market contihued rather heavy, and some additional weakness was de- veloped on & report that the condition of fall- sown wheat in Texas was excellent. During the depreegion the price of the Msy option de. clined to Sic. the late hour a report made by a trade journal in St. Louls that the crop of winter wheat had been damaged by sudfen changes of temperature caused dctive cover- ing by shorts and brought about a steadier feeling.

That will depend not only upon the prices of copper and somewhat the rate of money, but upon_the developments at the : 2400 Foot, Level. When the Boston News Bureau first called attention, less tham three months ago, to Anaconda as relatively cheaper than Am- algamated, and yet as the basis of Amalgamated, it was selling, as quoted in New York, at about 40. It has since deubled in price. Anaconda has opened an ore body in its main mine more than Feet wide and about Feet long that is admitted to assay better than the average Of all the Anaconda mines. It is admitted by the Amalgamated + People that this ore body may assay 8% In Butte it is said that it assays 16%. ews Bureau was the first to give information con- The Boston ‘cerning it, and has never yet failed to be in the lead-with the Ana- conda or Amalgamated information.

STEEL Soon to leave the ¥ o 2 ‘ y 40’s And take up its march towards the 80’s? . : It is this year to begin dividends at the rate of 4% Per annum. Every intelligent investor desires to answer these questions for himself. Boston News Bureau Gives more intelligent information to enable him to answer these questions concerning Amalgamated, Anaconda, U. S. Steel— The Greatest Industrials the world has ever known— than any other daily publication. It was in October, 1904, That the Boston News Bureau, by a double column advertisement in the leading papers of the country, called attention to the changed - conditions of the financial situation, and invited a study of United States steel common before it crossed 20. Does thé increasing output of gold and the increasing invest- ment and business resources of this country warrant the statement that the $1,500,000,000 expressed in the capitalization of the United’ States Steel Corporation has increased by 20 per cent in compara- tive valuations? Is the increased valuation and the future growth of this com- pany to be represented in the common stock which commands the entire equity of the company ? Steel common represents but one-third of the total capitaliza- tion of the company. Should, therefore, a 20 p. ¢ enhancement in valuation be reflected by a Point advance in steel common, and if so, from what point, 0, 20 or 40? In tgo4 the Boston News Bureau said, and it now can do no better than repeat the same, as follows: “Seeing tides and times may be a greater asset than capital, “The ofmofstetmaudohheulegnyhbdoau‘ The age of steel, electricity and the telephone has opened. “Ifyon don’t believe in the future of this country, don’t sub- scribe to the Boston News Bureau.
