WANT MORE WHEAT
Resumption in. Australian De
mand Is Expected. 1
WILL DRAW OH PACIFIC COAST
Requirements "Will Approximate t
Million Quartern Argentine Grow
ers Slow to Contract Rasxiaa.
Reports Unsatisfactory.
MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.. Dec 20. (Special.)
The Commercial "West's London wheat letter
says:
Some reports from St. Petersburg are that
the Russian winter wheat is unsatisfactory,
but as regards the Argentine, It Is singular
that reports are unanimously favorable, and
we have been unable to trace, either through
public or private channels, a single adverse
comment. It Is quite true, however, that
sellers have not shown much inclination to
contract ahead, which Is all the more strange,
as harvest by this time must be well ad
vanced and In the early districts secured.
Wo can only assume that shippers, after a
somewhat unfortunate experience in recent
years, have determined to wait until they can
handle the stuff at 'the seaboard and do busi
ness on a strictly legitimate basis of supply and
demand, with a reasonable margin of profit.
There is no fresh news from Australia be
yond the fact that good general Tains have
fallen, of considerable neneflt to pastures.
The demand for that destination has ceased
for the present, but we look for a resump
tion shortly and In the meantime It is gen
erally supposed that their requirements of for
eign wheat will approximate 1,000,000 quar
ters, the bulk of which will be supplied from
the North Pacific Coast.
We look for a continued good trade In wheat
and think we shall see higher prices eventual
ly, although there has recently been a fair
advance. We are sure to have occasional
setbacks, but we feel disposed to continue
our advice to buy on all depressions.
BREWERS HOLD OFF.
Jio Change In Jiew York Hop Market
Oregon Prunes Steady.
NEW YORK, Dec 20. (Bpeclal.) The mar
ket ruled dull for hops with small trading be
tween dealers. Brewers still hold off. For
eign cables note no chances.
Prunes claim moderate attention. Several
fair-sized lots of 40-G0s were picked up from
brokers by export Interest at 6c for the three
sizes. There continues a little easiness In
70-SOs and SO-OOs and In the absence of Im
portant buying on these sizes, the market Is
slow. On a firm offer, 4c would buy several
lots of 70-SOs. A Coast wire today reDorts
the sale of three carloads of 40-50s for Janu
ary shipment at Cc. f. o. b. In 25-pound
boxes. Negptlatlons are In progress here
looking to the sale of several lots of 40-60a
now In transit from thp Coast for export to
Hamburg. The export demand. It Is believed,
will sustain the market for the present dull
period.
Oregon prunes are steady with 7io quoted
on 30-i0s.
Salmon Is dull.
Beans are quiet and easy.

BUOYANTTONE JN STOCKS
TRADERS SURPRISED BY THE ACT
IVITY OF THE MARKET.
Upward Movement That Affected
Nearlir. the Entire LIstGrouHds
tor the Animation.
NEW YORK, Dec 26. The activity and
the buoyant tone developed In the stock mar
ket today came as something of a surprise.
The market Btarted off In as dull- and dismal a
manner as possible: It was taken as a mat
ter of course that the remnant of the week
left after the Christmas holiday would be Idly
spent, as many -brokers left town on Wednes
day to ba cone until Monday. The tightness
of the money market was looked to' as an ad-
j dltlonal factor to repress speculation, and this
u-oii .hilo Anrltr In th rtflV at Which tlm&
the call loan rate rose to 12 per cent, with
loans reported at 15 per cent.
Later In the dav it developed that lenders
were oversuppllcd and were left with consid
erable funds on their hands as a result of
holding out for higher rates.
The grounds for the animation, in the stock
market were not entirely plain. The early
stages of the movement were congested In a
few stocks, and the principal buying In these
was by brokers often employed by lajge and
well-known speculative Interests, Including the
Bo-called Western contingent. This was not
ably true In the buying of Erie, which was
continued up to the close of the market, sus
taining the general list by sympathy. The
ground of .the buying was not stated, but
claims were circulated of "large earnings In
prospect. Rumors persisted of a "melon-cutting"
for Great Northern; a Montana Judicial
decision In a copper case gave rise, to the
usual claims of agreement by both contending
factions, and 8t- Paul's rise was accompanied
by renewed claims that early action was to be
taken on the r.ew stock authorized. St. Paul
ran off sharply at the close, when the direc
tors had adjourned their regular monthly meet
ing without action.
The upward movement became too general,
however, to be attributed to a merely sympa
thetic effect from the strength of Individual
stocks. Low-priced stocks came Into special
favor, and many of them were taken up suc
cessively and advanced sharply. The announce
ment that President Roosevelt bad decided not
to undertake the arbitration of the Venezuelan
dispute had a reassuring effect, as It was felt
to eliminate some risks of complications. There
was undoubtedly a general confidence, also,
that the danger of serious trouble In the
money market between now and January 1 Is
practically past, owing to the. assurance against
emergency provided by the bankers' $50,000,
000 pool. The market closed firm and active.
There was some investment demand for
bonds. Total sales, $2,200,000. United States
new 2s and the 4s advanced 14 and the 3s
coupon V4 on the last call.
Call money was lnvery active demand to
day. The ruling rate was 12 per cent, at
which level some very large loans were made.
Most of the demand was due to the readjust
ment which Is usually made on a holiday, es
pecially If the next business day happens to
fall on a Friday. The banks very generally
marked up their loans today, and although one
or two minor transactions were reported In
time money, moot of the bank supply was In
vested In call loans.

In Spite of the Extreme Inactivity,
Prices Are Steady.
CHICAGO, Dec. 26. The holiday dullness,
which was manifested In all the pits, was es
pecially noticeable In. wheat, and trading at
-times was almost at a, standstill, but, in spite
of the extreme Inactivity; prices were steady.
Owing to thtre being no cables, the opening
was easy, with Td&y a shade to Uc lower at
777714c. Strong markets at St. Louis and a
fair export demand helped to maintain a firm
tone, although crop Journals were bearish and
Argentine advices were more .encouraging.
May sold up to 779s7714c There was a little
decline toward the clone, and final figures were
a shade higher at 7711c
The only feature In the corn trade was an
advance of 2 cents In the December option.
caused by the anxiety of some belated shorts
to get to cover, but as soon as their wants
were supplied the market dronocd hack tn
about Its former position. The market had a
firm undertone, and May closed a shade higher
Oata ruled Arm throughout. The close was
steady; May, 14o higher at 34c
Provisions were strong the entire dav. Ann
mostly to the smaller receipts of hogs and
higher prices at the yards. The close was
strong, wjth May pork up- 2714c and lard and
ribs each 714010c higher.

In the value Involved $5,000,000 have been
filed In the United States Land Office at
Pueblo by attorneys for tho Utah Fuel
Company against the Colorado Fuel &
Iron Company. These suits aro 40 in

GREAT HOLIDAY TRADE
EXCEEDED IN MOST RESPECTS ALL
PREVIOUS RECORDS.
Fittlns Close of a Year of Almost
Unprecedented Business and In
.dnstrial Activity.
NEW YORK. Dec. 20. Bradstreefs tomor
row will say:
Satisfaction with the old and confidence In
the new year are the domlnatlns features as
1902 draws to a close. The enormous holiday
trade, exceeding In most respects all records,
proved ts be a fitting crown to a year of al
most uniirecedented business and Industrial ac
tivity. Kxcept in some sections of tne souki
and Southwest, where crop and weather con
ditions had led to a modification oi omersvise
sanguine expectal.ons. tho volume of season
able business Is In most respects sausiaciorj .
In the East, the West, the Northwest and on
the Pacific Coast, there Is but one note, and
that of satisfaction with the results achieved
during the past few weeks. Additional reports
received of- trade distribution for the year
confirm those hitherto given of an enormous
olumo of business, modified, it Is true. In
some respects, by higher cost of materials
ana wases nmiung proms. im .u..o-
turn-over, however, and the active demand In
most .lines, the profit side has not Deen en
tirely lost sight cf, and it is sare 10 say mai
equally satisfactory returns In years to comu
would prove acceptable. Report of results In
banklntr crcles are' to the effect that good
profits fcavfc been gained as a result of cotn
f.arat'vely high and at the same time steady
rtcij for tiioni-.y.
The holiday spirit has ruled In wholesale
lines this week. Most of the salesmen are in
from the road, and, except for reorders to re
pair depleted stocks. Jobbers are quiet, and
stock-taking is the main Interest. The Indus
trial operations have naturally siowea aown.
except wl'ere conditions, as In railway traffic,
are such as to demand the straining of every
nerve '.o keep up with business offered to pre
vent a midwinter congestion, which, in tho
present situation of small supplies of fuel the
country ever, might result In serious derange
ments. Not only are Spring goods being or
dered with fieedom and confidence, but prompt
delivery of Thu same Is being urged.-
Raw wool Is very strong, ana rattier mora
Interest Is noted In low grades at leading cen
ters this vteek. Auslrallaii advices are very
bad, because of the cliouth, and a great short
age In tui prodvc'op of wool Is expected In
that court y.
The lumber 'trad situation, that for whit
pine and 1 ard wood particularly, Is satisfac
tory. ,
Wheat, Including flour, exports for tho week
ending December 24 aggregate 3,500.480 bush
els, against 3,250.037 bushels last week, 4,201,
513 this week last year, and 3,858,103 In

1,520,143 last week. 424,330 last year, and
4.001.1C3 in 1000.
Among tbo great Industries, Iron and Steel,
naturally quiet at this season of the year, still
note the continued fuel scarcity, affecting pro
duction of merchant furnaces East and Went
Railway bulldlns has been active this year,
the heaviest. In fact, for 15 years past, and
showing a 12 per cent lncreaso In mileage over
a year ago. Speculative feeling in copper is
better, and 'alk of an Improvement ln'tha

STILL FILLING CHRISTMAS ORDERS.
Class of Worlc That ' Conld Not Be
Completed in Specified Time.
NEW YORK. Dec. 20. R. G. Dun & Co.'s
review of trade tomorrow will say:
Trade and speculation experienced the cus
tomary holiday aulet, cxceDt In Christmas
goods, which sold freely, many packing and
shlpplns departments beta's still engaged on
this class of work, which could not be com
pleted at- the specified time. Industrial under
takings are Interrupted In many cases by
the taklnu of Inventories, while other plants
are closed because fuel cannot be obtained.
Orders still come forward freely, and the new
year will oncn with more business on the
books thaa ever before. Prices of commodi
ties aro firmly held by tho steady domestic
demand, and there Is a good export move
ment of the leading staples. In this, as In
many other Instances, however, there Is still
tho drawback of inadequate transportation fa
cilities, which restrict shipments to the sea
board. Financial conditions are satisfactory.
Railway earnings thus far this month surpass
last year by 5 per cent, and those of 1900 by
11.0 per cent.
Quiet conditions In the iron and steel in
dustries, unaccompanied by any sign of weak
ness, testify to the healthy tone and suggest
a brlcht outlook for the coming year. Fur-
i nn(1 miii. win --rtpnd tho season of
( idienes3 beyond the usual time, not because
orders are lacking, but in order to accumulate
a moderate supply of coke. Foreign pig Iron
Is offered slightly below domestic quotations,
but neither Imported nor home-made Iron Is
avallable for Immediate use In large quantl-
ties. Independent steel mills claim they are
unabfe to pay present prices for billets, which
cost 31 or mere for early shipment.
An unexpectedly favorable feature has ap
peared In the market for cotton goods. After
a long season of "stagnation in the export dl
vision, the demand for China suddenly be
came considerable, notwithstanding the do
presslon.ln sliver and liberal stocks of cottons
In Shanghai. In woolen goods there Is a good
demand, overcoatings providing the chief fea
ture. Wool Is strong, with a further advance
anticipated next year,
Failures for the week numbered 209 In the
United States, against 230 last year, and 21
