SUGAR 18 QN
All Grades Are Down Twenty
Cents a Hundred.
CAUSE: REFINERS' COMPETITION
Activity of the Locnl Hop Market In
creoiCK, With Values Stronger
Movement In Citrus
Fruits.
The sugar market, after remaining stationary
for several weeks, has again become the cen
ter of interest. All grades of the cane and
beet product have been reduced 20c a hundred.
As for the cause of the decline the local trade
Is In the dark, but It Is presumed to be due to
the competition between Spreckels and the
British Columbia refinery.
In the East the sugar refiners' trust and the
outside refiners as well havo announced a
change In tho terms of selling refined sugars.
The change virtually amounts to the abandon
ment of the factor plan, as it puts the reflne
sugar market on a net basis. The change will
not affect tho net price. It appears that se
cret cutting by the rival refiners Is chiefly Te
snonslble for tho announcement of the new
plan. About 10 days ago the Arbuckles, It
Is understood, discovered that tho American
Sugar Refining Company was secretly making
a special rebate of 5 points to some buyers.
Arbuckles Immediately following this out to
the same favored buyers, and the discount did
not then take long in becoming general.
The factor plan has for some time been a
dead-letter In the "West, but It has been main
tained fairly -well In New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and New England. In those sec
tions it is being, so far as" refiners are In
formed, maintained without break, and is a
source of direct profit In the wholesale grocery
business, which will not. It Is believed, allow
It to stop without protest. The terms under
which the refiners have been selling to New
York. New Jersey and New England Include
iMcount of 15 points from list prices and
an additional 1 per cent for cash in seven
days, in addition to the special discount of 5
points after 00 days for those who In selling
maintain refiners prices. In all sections, ex
cept those specifically noted, however, this
last 5-polnt discount is now" deducted from the
till, and within the last two weeks another
special discount of 5 points has been openly
Allowed.
MORE BUSINESS IX HOPS.
Prices Strong on Buying Orders
from Brewers.
The hop market is active at 2525Uc and
It is reported that 25Uc has been offered for
one lot. Brewers are beginning to senl in their
orders freely. It Is believed that the market
will "be lively for the next month or longer.
Tacoma advices say the hop market there Is
decidedly stronger since the first of the new
year and prices have taken a hitch up of lc
per pound. The choice exporters are now sell
ing at 25Hc per pound, or within c of the top
prlco of the season. It Is said the adance in
price Is due to Inquiries from Eastern brewers,
who havo not yet purchased their year's etock.
JVcvr York Hop Mfirfcct.
NEW YORK. Jan. 9. (Special.) Hops closed

OlCEGOX PRUNE SALES.
Purchase of Four Carloads Reported
From Xcw York.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9. Special.) A little
easiness developed today in small prunes, sizes
70-SOs and 80-DGs ruling weak at 4ic and 3c
respectively, under light demand and full sup
ply. There Is a -strong tone in 60-70s and 50
COs, with stocks here and near by to arrive con
trolled by two holders. On a firm offer, 6c
will buy 60s and 5c Is quoted for 60s. Little
export movement Is noted at the moment.
Jobbers report a steady demand for small lots.
A feature today was a considerable buying
jnoven I "through brokerage Interests here of
Dregorl 5)-60s for shipment from the Coast.
One purchase of four carloads is reported, but
the terms of the sale are withheld. Efforts to
purchase 30-40s and 40-5.0s on a 3c f. o. b.
basis were reported declined by Coast holders.
Pink salmon are easy and dull.
Lima beans are unchanged.
Heavy" Shipments of CItrns Fruit.
Advices from Los Angeles, under -date of
January 5, say that, according to past Indica
tions, there will be considerable more citrus
fruit shipped out of Southern California this
year than last. The lemon crop Js lighter, but
the shortage will bo more than offset by tho
additional output of oranges. Growers say
oranges are not only more plentiful this year.
but the general run of quality is better.' The
ceason has been exceptionally favorable for
good orange growing, and there have been no
serious frosts to damage the crop. The picking
la now well under way, but the growers are not
hurrying, as here Is no immediate demand for
the goods in the Eastern market. Up to last
iveek about 1800 carloads of oranges had been
chipped East from Los Angeles and vicinity
&nd 3200 carloads from points north of Tebacha
pL The season's output from Southern Cali
fornia is expected to be from 22,000 to 24.000
carloads.

Rally From the Lovr PointBank
Statement Forecast.
NEW YORK. Jan. 9. More business -was
transacted today on the Stock Exchange than
at any date since the semi-panic conditions of
tho middle of December last. Although the
market became extremely Irregular and at one
time generally reactionary, there was a free,
broad market during the whole day. and tho
closing was Arm and active at a rally from
the low point.
The report of the details of the arrangements
of the control of the Reading between the
Pennsylvania and the Vanderbllt interests
caused the speculative imagination to catch
Are, and operations were hastily resumed,
seemingly on the assumption that all the recent
Ills resulting from an over-surplus of new se
curities and an inadequate supply of capital to
take them up had been cleared away. The
conclusion was arrived at by inference that
further projects would be pushed for the har
monizing of control of the whole Eastern
trunk line railroad and anthracite field, with
subsequent designs upon the soft-coal field
through the medium of the distribution of con
trol of Hocking Valley among the same In
terests that are to share the Reading control.
There seemed to be an Impression that this
would herald an assumption of a large number
of projects of consolidation and merger, which
were Interrupted by tho stringency In the
money market.
The prospect that this would multiply new
securities again and involve heavy syndicate
requirements seemed to have none of the re
cent terrors, and new buying orders were
poured into the market this morning from
every quarter, including some by cable from
London. It was obvious from the start that
this demand was liberally fed by sales to take
profits by the large buyers of yesterday and
the preceding day, but the buying was suffi
cient to absorb this realizing for a time and to
Inifjatc fresh advances here and there. Re
ports that the dispute between the Pennsylva
nia and Gould Interests had been settled caused
buoyancy In the Wabashes. There were subse
quent demonstrations of strength In other
Gould stocks, notably Missouri Pacific and
Manhattan, which Initiated movements re
spectively in the Pacifies and the local trac
tions, and which were not explained by any
news of the day.
Money continued quite easy, in spite of tho
heavy new demands resulting from speculation
and a strong bank statement was forecasted,
both by the large movement of currency from
the interior and by the gain in Subtreasury
operations resulting from the payments of Gov
ernment Interest and the transfers of currency
from San Francisco. Late In the day. when
the market had become reactionary, a belief
gained currency that large imports of gold
were In contemplation at an early day. Tha
rising money market in London, the sharp
rise in sterling at Paris, and the Indications
that tho Bank of England is disposed to main
tain the open market rate of discounts were
adduced as evidence ot the likelihood of such
a movement at an early date. A more reason
able explanation of the reaction, aside from
the natural profit-taking, was the persistent
and heavy liquidation in Reading, due to the
fears of holders that as a minority interest
they would have little to hope for in the new
position of tho stock. The market was sup
ported at the decline, and the closing was firm
at the rally.
The bond market waB broad but Irregular.

CLOSE STRONG AND HIGHER.
Continued Improvement In Chlcnso
"Wheat Market.
CHICAGO. Jan. 0. Reports of unsettled
weather In Anrentlna, firm cables and small
receipts caused a little strength In the wheat
pit early In the day, but under the Influence
of better prices, offerlnffs became quite liberal,
and a reaction followed. May selling down to
75Hc, after opening unchanged to 4c lower, at
75T45I7CC. At the decline, the market ruled
rather dull, though there was a fair demand
from commission houses nnd scalpers. An In
crease of 1,500,000 bushels In the exports for
the week, compared with the corresponding
week last year, caused renewed buying late In
the day, and the close was strong, with May
Uo higher, at 70Ue. the high point of the day.
Corn ruled easier the greater part of the
day on liberal offerings from locals, while tho
demand was only limited. May closed a shade
higher, at 4344c
There was a pause In the advance In oats.
and reactions occurred on profit-taking by
small longs and tho lack of adequate support
by bulls. The close was about steady. May
being unchanged, nt 34c. ,
Provisions were dull and weak. There was
rather free selling from outside early points.
May pork closed 10c lower. May lard 5374c
down, and ribs were off 245c

NEW YEAR STARTS WELL
ACTIVITY REIGNS AMONG ALL THE
" INDUSTRIES.
Only Deterrent Features Are tie
Scarcity of Cnrs and of Fuel
Financial Position. Strong.
NEW YORK. Jan. 9. Bradstreefs tomorrow
will say:
The new year starts aggressively and well.
Wholesale distributive trade, It Is true, notes
something of the lull usual at this period of
he year, but even here the uniformity Is
broken by advices that salesmen already on
the road aro receiving good orders for Spring,
and that. In compliance with urgent instruc
tions, shipments of Spring goods are being for
warded liberally.
Among the Industries activity reigns, the only
deterrent features being the scarcity of cars or
of fuel, limiting production of Iron and steel
or curtailing shipments of lumber and grain.
Prices as a wholo show aggressive strength,
present levels being tho highest In over two
years. Corn and cotton. It Is true, havo weak
ened, but the only apparerit result Is that ot
encouraging and expanding export trade, a
movement long anxiously awaited. Eastern
shoe manufactures report that liberal eample
orders are not being followed by solid orders
to the extent expected, and shipments are
smaller than last year and last week. The
scarcity of anthracite coal Is a cause of large
expense. Efforts to keep prices down to a
reasonable level seem to have failed, and spec
ulators are reported In control of the situation.
The iron and steel market is classed as quiet,
but symptoms of activity are numerous.
"Wheat, including flour, -exports for tho week
ending January 8 aggregate 5.09S.951 bushels,
against 3.436.2C0 last week, 3,507.710 In this
week a year ago, and 5,961,095 in 1901. Wheat
exports since July 1 aggregate 135.762,170 bush
els, against 153,313,937 last season, and 103.
874.914 In 1900.
Business failures in the United States for
the week ending January 8 number 835. as
aagalnst 400 last week, 340 in the like week
In 1002, 322 In 1001, 295 In 1900, and 304 In
1509. The failures In Canada number 30.
against 30 last week and 32 in this week a
year ago.

STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION.
Collections Are Prompt nt All Lead
insr Cities.
NEW TQRK.Jan. 9. R. G. Dun's weekly
review of trade tomorrow will say;
Collections are notably prompt at all leading
centers, bearing testimony to the strong finan
cial position of the Nation's Industries at the
opening of the new year. Distribution ot mer
chandise Is heavy, and manufacturers are
pressed for prompt delivery. Orders for Spring
goods come ireeiy, ana in uwu nura iuo -more
than a sample business In Fallwelghts.
Tardy deliveries In the past lead purchaser!
to anticipate requirements more than hereto
fore, and orders aro being placed for In ad
vance of actual needs. The fuel situation is
the one seriously disturbing element, rendering
abnormally high the cost of manufacturing and
restricting tho purchasing power of almost the
entire population. Fortunately, this comes at
a time of exceptional prosperity, or there
would be a general contraction of consumption
in other Jlnes. There is little interruption to
work because of labor disputes, but many op
erations arejnterrupted by the delay in transit
of needed materials.
In the Iron and steel industry, the most sig
nificant event of the week was the discussion
regarding the profit-sharing proposal by the
leading1 producer. Inadequate supplies of coke
Commission Co.
Capital and Surplus, $300,800,00
are still restricting operations. Partially be
cause of the published statistics of supplies,
but more on account of London speculation,
there was a sharp advance In the prices" of tin
and copper, followed by some reaction, due ti
realising sales.
New England producers of wool were busy
on Spring orders, and a few deliveries have
already been made, although shipments aro
light In these lines as yet. Exceptional activ
ity In rubber goods has reduced supplies to an
unusually low point. Some varieties of leath-,
er have advanced slightly, and tanners of hem
lock sole havo only limited holdings.
No fAfltn.., V. n anncamil In f V m A n.
biestlc demand for dry goods. Tho best event
as to cottons has been th continued buying
ror export, which has exceeded expectations
very largely. The print cloth market has ruled
very firm, with business restricted by the re-
servo of sellers, who show no disposition to
make concessions. As to woolen goods, tho
demand for overcoatings for next Fall has not
come up to expectations, which may be attrib
uted, in part, to the fact that the season opened
unusually early. Prices aro fully maintained
at tne opening level jf the season.
Failures for the week number 350 in the
united States, against 378 last year, and 24 la
-anaaa, compared with 27 a year ago.
BRITISH FOREIGN TRADE.
Statistics Give Falrlr General Satis
faction. NEW YORK. Jan. 9. Statistics of the Brit
ish foreign trade in 1002 have given fairly gen
eral satisfaction, says a dispatch to the Trib
une from London, but the croakers are not sat'
lsned that the gains will continue. They assert
that two-thirds of the increase in imnorta la
wheat, and that one-half of It will be offset this
year by an enlarged crop In the United King
dom. "While this may Involve a reduction In
imports. It may not affect the price, and there
is general opinion that there will be no advanci
In the chief artiole of food. Higher prices for
sugar are again predicted, but the same fore
casts were made a year ago and not fulfilled.
The government has been fortunate In levying
the new duties on grain and sugar under con
ditions of supply which have concealed tho
taxation from the consumers. '
It Is fully understood here that the peculiar
conditions ot the understocked American mar
ket explain the gain In pig Iron exports, but
neither statisticians nor merchants venture
predictions respecting the Iron and steel trade
01 uie unuea Stataes this year. There Is
reasunaDie expectation that exnortn of f.l
rails and manufactures of Iron to Japan and
v.uiou win increase.

thought he would like to buy wheat.
He deposited $10,000 with us upon

this the changes in the wheat mar

cared to purchase. The money is
still with us, drawing interest for
