THE MORNING OBEGOmAST, SATURDAY, JAOTARY 23, 1904. 15 MAY WHEAT BREAKS Armour Unable to Check the Decline. CLOSES OVER A CENT LOWER Every Effort by the Big Bull Opera tor to Support the Market Proves Unavailing-Traders Sell Freely. CHICAGO, Jan., 22. On account of crippled wire service, outside trading was light In the wheat pit. The market opened weak, largely because of lower cables and large Argentine shipments. Another f actor -was a report of additional rain in the Southwest, effectively breaking the long drouth in that section. k May was a shade fo Qc lower, at 91c to"91c The sentiment among pit traders seemed to be decidedly bearish, and they "were Inclined to eel! freely. Daring the first half hour prices declined rapidly, and May was soon selling at 91c. Opening buying by Armour, the big bull operator, temporarily checked the downward tendency, and seme recovery was. .made. On every break, the prominent long would send In buying orders fn an endeavor to support the market, but his efforts were of no avail. Prices continued to sink, until May had touched D0c, a. decline of lc from the opening, which was the high point of the day. The close was weak, with May at BOttC July ranged be tween 81U663C, closing at S15ic, a loss" of lc for the day. Corn was subjected to about the same experi ence as wheat, with the possible exception that the pit crowd was less fearful of selling corn than wheat. Closing prices were weak at nearly the bottom figures, May ?4c lower at 4049c Xats displayed weakness in sympathy with wheat and corn. A fair demand from com mission houses and local traders, however, caused a steadier feeling. The market was affected somewhat by the weakness In wheat and com. After opening a shade to c lower at 4242tfc to 42Uc May sold off to 41c. but closed steady at iV.ic There was realising In lard on an unusually large scale, but In spite of this selling, pro-; visions ruled firm.' A strong hog market was the principal bull factor. May pork closed 5o higher at 13.32H: lard. May. was up 10c at $7.35, and ribs 2AQ5c at $6.75. The leading futures ranged as follows: r WHEAT. Open.

Bull Movement Continues In New York Market. NEW YORK. Jan. 22.-Cdtton reached 15c for the July option In tho local market today. Sensational strength at Liverpool, where spot cotton advanced to Sd. or about 16c. a pound, continued light receipts, strong spot advices, and the Increased activity of bull leaders, plunged the New York market into a tumuli of activity and excitement such as had not been witnessed before during the present up ward movement. New high records were made The opening was strong at an advance of 6 to 21 points, with March and May show ing the greatest strength. The former sold at 14.70c on the call. May at 14.90c. and July at 14.94c There was a reaction from first prices, but the market soon turned active and worked upward, July going to 15c before the end of the first hour. Trading became less active, but the market ruled generally firm. March sold up to 14.75c May to 14.93c and July to 15.03c The close was near the top and barely steady.

Heavy Selling to Realize Wipes Out Nearly All the Gains-Bank Statement Forecast. NEW YORK, Jan. 22. Another day of ac tive and varied trading In stocks marked, the progress of the speculative campaign iaxen up In the last few days. The manner In which enormous blocks of stocks in thousands of shares were hurled from one portion of the market to another was sufficient evidence that the leadership of the market was In daring and powerful hands. About the only news irom a stock . market standpoint was made up of surmises as to the personality of the newly active speculative party and the Identity of their operations, whether on the buying or the selling side. Some or the selling was openly done In the Interest of the principals In the leadership, while their brokers were also buy ing at other points with vociferation. The usual difficulty in tracing skillfully conducted speculative Operations was. therefore, felt on the part of the anxious board room traders who sought to 'follow the movements of the larger operators.' The pouular supposition was that the newly active party in the stock market In cluded speculative elements that have been prominent In cotton and In grain during the recent activity In those markets, and that something like a pool has been arranged by which these various elements were acting In concert to lift the prices of stocks to their own profit , The trading presented all the characteristics of the periods of .activity of such organised speculation. The buying and bidding up of prices was skillfully shifted from one to an other quarter calculated to affect opinion on the market as a whole, and selling at other points was colncidcntally carried on In the "realizing of profits. Later In the day the reactionary tendency became fairly general under the weight of the selling to realize, and the level of prices receded materially from the highest. The late selling was somewhat ag gravated by the report of a banking failure In Cleveland, and the downward tendency was not very effectively arrested before the close, which was unsteady. The forecast of another very favorable bank statement for tomorrow did not serve to sus tain "the late market, as such a showing has been counted upon throughout the week, owing to the extreme ease tof money. Esti mates of tho regelpts of currency from the Interior are unusually at variance, so that the gain in cash la reckoned all the way from $8,000,000 to $13,000,000 from all sources. The lessened prospeot of war Induced blgher prices abroad as well as here, but there Is no sign In foreign markets for the animation awakened here. Amalgamated Copper was under pres sure all day, and Southern Pacific and Penn sylvania were held back from the general ad vance by sales to realize on yesterday's galas. Sugar was notably strong on favorable esti mates of earnings. United States Steel pre ferred was late In advancing, and did not hold well. The Rock Island bonds relapsed sharply, and there were a few other points of reaction In the bond market which, however, continued active Bid generally firm. Total sales, par value. 6,316.000. United States bonds un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Sales. High. Low. Close. Atchison" 79.000 70 69 70 do nref erred u.uw u- ww, .174 Baltimore & unio.

Wholesale Business Fairly Active All Oyer the Country The Indus trial Situation. ' NEW YORK. Jan. 22. R. G. Dun '&. Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will layi Weather conditions have furnished the chief Influences la. the general trade situation. To some extent traffic has been hindered, espe cially at the East, but the. latest returns of railway earnings for January show an Increase of 3.8 per cent over 1003. Wholesale business Is fairly active, traveling salesmen sending In about average orders, and Jobbing trade Is normal. Manufacturing plants are more active, with llttlo change In quotations, and the outlook for Spring trade Is considered favorable. Collections are some what more prompt. Leading staples have risen to new maximum prices for the crop year. Iron and steel plants that resumed at the turn of the year have obtained sufficient business to continue operating, and thus far the adjustment of wages has not produced the threatened strikes. Increased activity and strength is reported In the domestic hide market. Failures this week number 235 In the United States, against 265 last year, and 33 In Can ada, compared with 27 a year age SPRING TRADE OPENING. Confidence In Prosperous Season Iron' Busi ness Irregular. NEW YORK. Jan. 22. Brads treet's tomor row will say: Confidence In a prosperous Spring trade finds support In an enlarging volume of business at Southern, and Southwestern markets, an awakening of Interest at some Northwestern centers, and growth even at Central Western and Eastern markets, where, however, weather conditions are a drawback to the fullest ca pacity. The iron trade is Irregular as a whole and variously regarded optimistically of the re verse, according as the point of view shifts from crude to finished products or the ob server is located East or West. Among the other metals, copper and tin are lower, while lead is higher. Lumber and building materials are naturally rather dull at present when out door work Is at a minimum, but the outlook tor Spring Is regarded as promising. Wheat, including flour, exports for the- week ending January 2, aggregate 3,538,152 bushels against 2,771,210 last week and 3,538,737 this week last year. Corn exports for the week ag gregate 1,150,202 bushels, against 977,760 last week and 2,376,683 a year ago.

Special telegrams from correspondents of the International Mercantile Agency respecting the state ot trade throughout the United States and Canada are summarized as follows: The most encouraging developments of the week are the widening demand for all forms of Iron and steel at Pittsburg and Chicago, with Increased confidence that bottom prices have been reached. Other features are the fading of war prospects, a real plethora of money at New Tork and at Western centers, and the highest prices for wheat since 1828, due to increased milling demand for home and foreign requirements and a greatly oversold May option at Chicago. Other advances In prices were for corn, oats, cotton, coffee, leather, hides, tin and copper, with partial re actions in the last two. Silk goods are in bet ter demand, prints are hardening, converters are buying with more freedom. Boston's wool shipments exceed those of a year ago. .Shoes and leather are firm at advances. Most Important Industrial negotiations are about to be begun at Indianapolis. The miners want 10 per cent higher wages for picked coal, and more than that for machine mined. Bi tuminous operators in four states want a re duction. John Mitchell says he Is hopeful that an amicable settlement win be reached. Chicago's jdtstrlbutlon of merchandise af wholesale clothing, dry goods, shoes, leather, builders' hardware and grocers show Improve ment. St. Louis aays drygoods buyers from the Southwest are tnklng liberally in the face of higher prices. Philadelphia, textile Industries, except cot tons, are busy. Spring orders received at St. Paul are up to expectations. Duluth' s pros pects for Spring business are good. Cincin nati reports a good volume of business through the Ohio Valley. Cleveland's advance orders for Spring xjellvery are ahead of those, of last year. Throughout the Canadian dominion the week has been quiet, as the severe weather has checked sales in the country districts and made collections slower. Two or three large failures h&va disturbed the drygoods trade. Spring orders In men's and women's furnish ing goods are brisk. Metal Markets. NEW YORK. Jan. 22.

NEW YORK. Jan. 22. Announcement recently made at a meeting of the Tech nology Club that radium had been ex- ptracted from American ores has "brought from Professor Alexander H. Phillips, of Princeton University, who conducted the experiments, the statement that this lat est discovery by scientists -will soon be so plentifully produced In the United States as to be within easy reach of all branches of science. The- ore used In the experi ments came from Utah. "The specimen -was between 25 and 50 pounds in weight," said Professor Phil lips. "It was- not the pitch blend used by the Curies la the manufacture of the French radium. It was carnotlte. an ore of canary color, containing, as I found after experimenting with It, oxide of uranium and vanadium combined with other oxides that produce radium. In ex tracting the radium I used the Curie method, which I took from their paper, and I claim no credit. "A3 a result of this first extraction of American radium arrangements have been. made by certain persons In Buffalo, who own several mines of carnotlte, to manufacture radio-active agents on a large scale; and. In my opinion, it will soon be so plentiful that It will easily be. within the reach of all branches of science. The Increased production will naturally decrease Its cost and there need be no fear of exhausting the American source of supply, for I am Informed It Is practically limitless. "There is not the slightest doubt that American radium can be made as strong as the Curie product and equally available for all scientific purposes." "LEASE CABLE TOR DINNER.. New York and L,ondon Pilgrims Will Exchange Messages for an Hour. NEW YORK, Jan. 22. Plans have been made by the Pilgrim Society to put Into practical effect the principle ot the club. Thl3 will occur during a dinner January 29 in honor of Sir Henfy Mortimer Du rand, the British Ambassador, when for the first time in the history of any dinner In this city a trans-Atlantic cable will be leased for one hour, and while the New York Pilgrims will have charge of this end the organization In London, at which Earl Roberts Is to be the guest of honor, will have charge of the other.
