A BIG IMPROVEMENT Hi INDUSTRIAL TONE New York Stock Market Wriggles Out of Grasp of Bears After Start. STOCK MARKET GAINS. and buyers ars purchasing wheat wher ever the earn Is offered at a fair valua tion Tba general opinion or tne trade Is that a very large proportion of -he wheat raised In this territory will be shippsd to Europe. Trads with ths orient, either in wheat or flour, has been a disappointment here. The finan cial disturbances reached the orient, and buyera had to oon tract their pur chases to a great extent: but a great many in tha trade anticipate a revival from v there shortly. European wants will certainly be larger during ths next six months than thsy have been up to now. Home arown wheat was mar keted mora largsly than usual, because S rices wsre attractive, and money dear, lus frlvlns; ths farmer no Inducement to hold back hla wheat The weekly shlnments are under the requirements. and undoubtedly will remain eo till the end of this month. There is still a con siderable percentage of the crop in the United States to be marketed. Supplies In sight are liberal, but they are by no means axoesslve, and with the return to normal conditions ths laat half of tha crop year will see a decline from the first half in shipments. The short age In last year'a wheat crop, extending nearly over the whole world, promises to be repeated by another shortage In 1908. .' Russia. Roumanls and Hunsary ars threatened with short crops. India Is almost certain to have one. Australia has alrsady harvested a crop that is be low the average. Russian advicea are that the aevere cold weather prevails in the principal winter wheat districts, with no snow to protect the wheat crop. Exporters here all loo' for a very ac tive season, and figure that if ship ments continue as heavy during the months of January, February and March as witnessed the past four weeks there will be very little left arter Maren ji. It looks as If the hulk of this crop la destined to Europe." SIIORTAQE HURTS SHORTS. ' i Alleged Bmallneai of American Wheat Sbpply Pots Up Price. CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET. Open. Close. Jan. 16.
