Two Refined Advances Result
From Higher Raws.
OTHER STAPLE LINES FIRM
Te Prices Stronger With Small
Domestic Supplies Demand
for Coffee Improving.
la addition to the 10-cnt advanc In
refined ausar, which took affect Voter day
mornlna. another 10-cent advanco will
fee effect! v today, local Jobbers announced.
Tha new quotations will ba $9 a hundred
on cane granulated and $5.70 on beet
car. Both change, followed advances
In California refinery price, which re
flected higher markets east. The stronger
position of the raw sugar market Is the
to aals for the advances in refined grades.
Moderate domestic supplies and reporta
f stronger conditions abroad have resulted
In an Improved buying movement In teas,
and prices of moat descriptions ara tend
ing upward throughout the country. For
xnoaaa wera especially active, and quota
tions on these have been advanced. Cey
lons and Javaa are also In brisk request,
nd prices are very firm. Trading In apot
coffee was slightly trior e active, although
a lea were unusually moderate. The un
dertone of the market appears to have
improved, and,- while the recent setback
has not bfen entirely recovered, prices are
tnurh atendlor than a week ago.
Reports of a possible shortage within the
near future have stimulated buying of
pices,, as dealers are desirous of provid
ing for any continKcnt-y that may ar.;.
Vhile purchases, as a rule, are small, they
are numerous and represent quite a sub
stantia I business In the aggregate.
The demand for condensed milk at alt
points showed some Improvement but, as
. supplies are adequate to meet all require
ments, there has been no material change
In prlrrs.
In the line of canned vegetables, corn
nd .tomatoes, especially the latter, are In
brisk demand and prices tend upward,
whereas other products are being taken
In a routine way.
Although trading In dried fruits as a
lino Is quiet, the market for peaches and
Inrlcots Is strong, while prunes are In
otsk request and are advancing. Kaivins
are' -i.l. and not much interest la she wn
In currants. Dates, however, are selling
more freely.
KXPOKT FLOUR. 15 CKNTS II U. HER.
So Change Made Yet In Bakers or
Fa m 1 ly Grades.
Kxport flour prices were advanced M
cent a barrel yesterday In the export
markets of the- northwest. The rise was
due to the steady advance that haa lately
occurred In the wheat market. No change
haa been mado in bakers' or family
grades of flour, but these are naturally
firm.
With the eastern markets a shade
lower, wheat traders at the Merchants'
Kxchanire put out bide a cent under those
of Thursday. There was little trading
here or in the country. Farmer have
firm opinions and the growing scarcity
of some of the desirable milling grades
also Influences them to hold.
The export wheat situation fails to
Improve. Eastern reports were of for
eign business In corn to Denmark, but
little wheat trade. In regurd to Argen
tina's efforts to aell la Europe, Broomhall
cabled. .
"Shippers continue to press their offers
for new wheat and together with the re
sellers offers, the markets are showing
signs of breaking. The European demand
Is not able to abunrb the large quantities
of wheat now being forced upon It."
Argentine shipments this week were
9,223,000 buehels of wheat, 744.000 bushels
of corn and 733,000 bushels of oats.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20. Th. stock mar
ket today experienced one of its most sen
sational session, sine. th. 1918-18 period
when "war brides" soared to record quo
tations. Intimations from responsible sources
that progress was being made in the
proposed mergers or consolidations of var
ious steel and Iron companies wsa a pro
pelling factor.
The movement, which consisted of be
wildering advances and declines in the
more speculative shares, began with Gulf
States Steel. That stock made a fur
ther advance in the first hour of 8H
points to 00 Vs. reacted 20 points and
closed at 71 Vs. a net loss of 10V points.
Replogle Steel divided ' honors with
Gulf States for a time, making an early
gain of 10H points to 41. falling back to
34 and closing at 85. a net gain of 4
points.
Other steel and Iron shsres. especially
Bethlehem. Crucible. Midvale. - Sloss
Shef field. Republic. Vanadium and Colo
rado Fuel oc Iron were higher by- 2 to 6
points, but these also followed the con
fusing course of their leaders. United
states Steel became strong in the final
hour, closing at 87. a 2-point gain and its
highest price in more than a year.
Sugara, motors, oils, equipments, leath
ers, textiles and shippings were succes
sively brough forward, apparently under
professional auspices snd to the discom
fiture of the shorts, but rails remained
In the background, recording few note
worthy changes. Among miscellaneous
Issues, Electric Storage Battery, at a gain
of 6 points, and Woolworth. which rose
7 points, were the striking features.
Sales were 1,160,000 shares.
The money market was easy, call loans
holding at 5 per cent and renewing into
next week at that figure, while offerings
of time money at 41 to 4 per cent
were on enlarged scsles.
Trading In foreign exchanges was in
moderate volume, but International re
mittances were influenced by' cables In
dicating further tension in the Anglo
French situation. Sterling reacted 1V4
cents and continental rates were lower by
2 to almost 25 points.-
I.iberty bonds eased, but other domestic
Issues, especially rails, were Inclined to
strengthen. The several Cuban? issues re
flected the strength of that group of
stocks. Total sales, par value, aggregated
fl5.275.000.

EXPANSION SLOW. BUT STKADY
Wholesale Trade and Industry' In Better
Shape Than Year Ago.
NEW YORK. Jan. 20. Bradstreefs to
morrow will say:
Slow, but on the whole fairly steady, ex
pansion foal urea wholesale trade and in
dustry as January advances. House buy
ing, both from jobbers and wholesalers,
is of the small though often type. Road
trade haa expanded somewhat as the, trav
elers make progress.
Industry certainly shows a gain from the
very general shutdowns of the inventory
period and the two branches seem to be in
perceptibly better shape than a year ago
at this' time with a fair measure of op
timism reported prenent,' where a year ago
penaimum ruled. On balance, the em
ployment situation seems better than a
month ago, the tuel trades and agricul
tural pursuits excepted.
Retail trade, stimulated by cuts, espe
cially marked in apparel lines, clothing,
etc., is enjoying a fair measure of ac
tivity in ti north, east and west, but
southern trade as a whole seems to lag.
and reports from Texas, where unusually
warm weather and drouth aftect crop and
trade conditions, note that the pace ia
slow.

Stocks An Limited and Demand From
Mills Moderate.
BOSTON. Jan. 20. Ths Commercial
Bulletin tomorrow will say of the wool
market:
''The wool industry is groping blindly
forward. The limited stocks of wool have
been forcing prices steadily upward on
a moderate demand from the mills Man
ufacturers naturally are loath to name
prices on the heavy weight season's goods
until they have some luea of upon what
they must base their tariff cost.
"Foreign markets are very buoyant.
Some contracting has been reported from
Nevada on the sheop's back at 21 to 23
cents, although it is staled 'that the grow
era are now asking anywhere from 5 to
3o cents for their wools and matters have
come more or less to an impasse."

publish wool quotations as follows:

Market at Chicago Haa Setback.
Rural Offerings in Southwest
Said to Be Iiarg;er.
CHICAGO, Jan. 20. Snowfalls In Kan-
sas and Oklahoma brousht about some
I thing of a setback In wheat today after
an early advance. The close was easy
i at to of a cent decline, with May
I $1.1401.14. and July $1.011.01.
I Corn lost WQS to of a cent, and
I oats 94 to of a cent. In provisions the
outcome varied from 2 Mi cents off to 40
I cents' advance.
I At first wheat was Influenced chiefly
I by cold weather advices and by assertions
I that the winter crop was without adequate
covering. Besides, prospective shortage of
domestic auppliea, together with tslk 'of
large quantities of breadstuffs that Europe
must obtain during the next five months,
continued to be a factor.' On the other
hand, rural offerings in the southwest
were said to have Increased, owing to an
advance in prices bid to producers. Word
of snow in sections where most needed
by the domestic winter crop belt- gave
a -decisive advantage to the bears and
some of the weaker longs were letting
go of their holdings as the session closed.
.Enlarged country sales of corn to ar
rive had a bearish effect both on corn
and oats. Export business In corn was
oniv fair, mainly with Denmark.
Provisions averaged higher with hogs
and on account of eastern buying of lard.
The Chicago grain letter received yes
terday by the Overbeck Cooke company
of Portland follows: ,
Wheat The market fluctuated In an lr-
irriilap mannar today, but ftav SO excel
lent account of itself, considering the
amount of liquidation put Into the pit by
thnao who were disaDDointed at the lack
of fresh export buying- Some little busi
ness was done at tne seaooara. dui mi
amount not large enough to attract atten
tion and advices from both Liverpool and
Buenoa Aires were not of - a convincing
sort. The Minneanolia and Chicago cash
markets were strong, and a good milling
demand reoorted. It is not at all unlikely
that the winter variety will be In a strong
position before many months. It may be
true that the pronpect of a wheat scarcity
before the end of tbe season is the criti
cal point, ' but It ts not out of order to
theorize at this time knowing that the
future market Is very apt to begin dis
counting the situation.
Corn Celling by rash houses was rather
pr-rsistent during the forenoon and buying
power was insufficient except on the de
clines. At tbe close, the market had a
stronger tone accompanied by reporta from
the sfabrard of a good export business
being worked. The cash market wasNfrac
tionally lower, but the trading was un
changed. There is little inducement to
sell corn with hogs at a level which gives
corn a feeding value nearer 80 than 50
cents.
Oats Trade was slow and devoid of
feature. There was little change in the
cash market, receipts ol 100 cars meeting
ith a good demand. Shipping sales) re
ported were 60,000 bushels, country offer
ing to arrive light. We have faith In
higher prices for oats.
