Japanese "Want On Tloor. ..
The Japanese; are still cabling jthelr
inquiries for floiir to. local shipper and
today those, who' received inquiries, yes
terday were made counter order. The
' orders are coming from a large Japanese
firm, and the price offered are about
lfr cents a barrel under the present prices
asked, by the' local shippers. The ex-
port price of flour has shown a material
; advance since the prospects 'of war be
came so bright, and since actual noetui
ties were begun they made another alight
Jump. These prices the Japanese eon
eider a little too high and. ace trying to
make" purchases at former quotations,
No orders have yet been placed In this

" Wheat Salac Am Bomlnai.
. The farmer are holding their wheat
1 higher than ever, and the sales now are
practically nominal. Quotations 7 like
those, printed are being freely offered by
the millers, but are' refused as the hold'
ers want -a" premium of about 2 cents.
' Borne or the smaller miller are . com
' pelled to pay part of this advance in or
, der to keep their mills grinding, but the
larger - mills are , standing pat and say
that the present price of flour will not
Justify them in giving larger quotations
,r or even those printed, v They say that
..they are compelled to pay these figure
in order to keep their mill from stand
ing Idle. "The only thing we can do,
said a miller, "if the farmers Insist on
getting higher figure for their wheat
. is to advsuice the price of flour, but Just
' now this will be very hard to do. Later
'r on It may possible."..-..
. ' i ' Wire Balls Advanced.
The better tone in the eastern steel
- market hits caused still another advance
. in the price of wire nails here, arid to
day's quotations are 10 cent 1 a keg
.higher. The market la firm at the new
advance. " The present base for wire nail

Bo Anxiety for Potatosa.
. Since the publication of the scheme of
the San Francisco potato merchants 'in
The Journal yesterday the local buyer
are not so anxlou to buy stock a
they were. There 1 some talk of a gov
ernment order In San Francisco for po
tato supplies to be shipped to the Phil
ippinee, but' this .cannot" be confirmed.
'Since the -war the supplies' 'which tne
government formerly purchased in Japan
.have been cut out, and during Its con
tinuance this market will have to be
'looked to entirely for 4 stock. ' There
were no cnanges in me quotation to
lay. :-.'.v - " ..:
V Onion Tirmness Still -On. '
There Is no sign of a break in the
onion .market, and prices ranging from
SI. 60 to fZ per 100 are being freely Of
fered by the buyers, but are not ac
cepted by . the farmers. They are still
holding, for 2 cents a pound. Dealer
say that even if this figure la reached
, the farmer will not sell any more freely
tnan ne is ai present -
More Eggs Are Coming.
The more-, favorable " weather ha
caused larger shipment of egg into
this market and prices todsy are a trifle
. .weaker with prices ranging from 27 to
27 Vi ' cents," most of the sales being
made at the former price. - The receipts
as yet' are not very large, but there
are enough egg coming to fill the de
mand at ruling price. Those that are
- coming are- held by one or two mer
chants and they are keeping the market
. up. At present there Is not. much call
for eggs from the outside.
Oood Weather for Bog. ;
t The weather condition are very fa
vorable , for the ale of hog of all
kind and especially block hogs, but If
a warmer turn of condition- should
occur the demand will . again ahow
..weakness.
Top Price oa Teal Beaohed.
The very high point in the veal mar
ket ha been reached and although the
upplie are -not yet large enough to
' suit the demand the retailer have come
. to an agreement and will not pay more
than 8 , cent for - the best stocks.
Once in a while cents is obtained,
' but this price is an exception.' The de
mand at present la principally for ma
dlutn sited veal. - The calving season
will soon begin and tne receipts are
expected ' to show a material Increase
with the prospects of lower figure. The
. beef and mutton market were without
receipt today, but the demand 1 not
large, .. . 11 , '
Advance la Salmon.
The continued shortage of fresh sal
mon haa abused the quotation on the
. frosen stock to show an advance of 1
cent a pound today. There were no ar
rivals of amelt today. -
- . 'i --" sXop Ar DulL.
. The hop market t dull with very
few tales being made. During the
week there were some transaction
among the dealer from 28 to 29 cents,
but most of these were not made pub
- lie Contracting at 20 cents la alow
- today but during the week a few were
made at that figure. ,

Chicago, Feb. 11.- Logan & Bryan ad
vise: In wheat the decline was in
May. It was a nervous market, but wltn
a broad and active trad In the July.
There was a good deal of general out
side . buying of wheat. .The war waa
the $ principal C motive. ; The v market,
however, seems to strike rather free
offering of wheat on the rallies,'.;' It
la difficult to- trace any Important Ar
mour operation today. . He ; la -prob
ably selling May wheat moderately, and
the pit thought he bought a little July
on the early weakness. The foreign
markets are dull. Liverpool report a
fair continental demand. Price there
do not follow the advance here. ' The
Argentina weekly shipment Are es tl-
mated at 2,800,000 busheia. The situa
tion in .September wheat and flour Is, on
the whole not very active,' and prices seem
to be out of line. It general action
during the past two day is a little
hesitating. -
Cora. Was Strong.
The corn market wa strong, There
Is a large trade and It 1 difficult to
trace operations, but - on the' surface
they 'seem to be selling on the rallies
and replacing on tha breaks. The eaah
situation is not contributing much to
the market. - Report arc moderate and
the quality 1 perhaps Improving some
what, it is suu largely poor grades
and they are selling at heavy discounts.
Practically the whole support of the
market 1 the bullish sentiment on the
war.
Buying Advanoe Oat,
.Buying of oat advanced-the price.
It looks like -commission-house buying
and . it waa not apparent that Patten
wa back In the market to any 'extent
The market had, a sharp break from the
high point and there waa quite a little
local buying for a torn on thia. Th
cash demand I not very good.
. Provision About th Same. ;
Provision prices are about tin
changed from yesterday. There was
considerable pressure on pork early in
th day from the local selling. Out
elder are not yet liquidating to any
degree and the principal support still
come from th buying for that Interest.
Receipt -of hog are atnl .liberal and
the - local sentiment and the packing
interest are still bearish. It is only
a question of how long it will take for
the outside bullishness to . run us
course. They evidently feel that tho
war will either increase consumption or

New York, Feb. 11. ucintyre at -uarsuau
tav; The effect of the foreign war hat not
yet been noted in the cotton trade to any
marked extent. There are inquiries irom
Japan for iarge amounts of heavy cotton, but
the price for goods for the Chinese market
la up to this time curtailed with that coun
try. There it little hope for a ccatatlon of
hostilities this year kr.d. Indeed a long war
la predicted, The trade in American cotton
with China and Japan and Indirectly amounts
to something like 600,000 hales.- We do not
expect this to be seriouely Interfered with ex.
rept by high prlcea and consider thlt factor
for the time aa not operative against valuta.
Tha recelDta are fast being reduced to a point
where contention on tbla aubject will lie
answered every day by convincing figures and
tins win. in turn add tone to tno prices.
