Var rumors caused on advance of c to lvic In tho price of wheat today. Part of tho advance was lost on prollt-taking, but tho close was firm with May ?ic higher than yester day's final llgurcs. Corn closed with a gain of 5c for May,, Oats aro up c Provisions aro unchanged. A sharp bulgo occurred In wheat at tho opening, due to reports that the crisis in tho Far East was not far distant. These reports wero given emphasis by higher prices in foreign grains, Opening quota tions here showed May o to l?ic higher at 90c to 91c, with July lc to lc higher ut S2c to S3c Buying orders came large ly from shorts. For a time thore. was little wheat on the market. Tho leader of tho longs, howover, took the selling side toward tho end of the first half hour and was Joined by smaller holdors, with tho result that prices declined abput c for the high point. May steadying around CGc and July at S2c Tho market lost Its onorgy and ruled comparatively dull the remainder of the day. Long wheat continued to come out on an small up turns, but tho demand was equally good on every reaction. Tho market was helped by Argentine strike nows, small receipts and an Improvement In cash demand tn the Northwest. May closed at 907TWVtC, after It had sold down to U0c July fin ished at S37JS3',4c Clearances of wheat and our equal to 002.100 bushels. Primary rucelptB wero 119,200 bushels, against 522. 439 bushels a year ago. Exports for tho week according to Bradstcets of wheat and Hour, were equal to 2.90S.O0O bushels. Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 253 cars, against 200 cars last week and 302 cars a year ago. Tho Influences which governed the wheat market were factors In tho corn pit. After opcnlns c to c higher at 50c to 5C4ic, May sold between 60c and G8c, closing at fO'ififiOc. Local receipts were 215 ears, none of contract grado Oats wero strong throughout tho etitira day. May opened V,c to higher at 42-&c to 42c, sold between 4245r421,c and. 43c. closing at 13c. Local receipts were 71 cars. Packers wcro moderate sellers of pro visions and thero was further liquidation of lard by bull hoi!: ox. In spite of this selling and In the f,u,r- of lower prices at the yards, tho market ' Icldcd vrry little, closing practically at jcitorday's pries Buying by commission houci s and shorts on the strength of grain was the main supporting feature. May pork and lard closed unchanged at 513,32 and $7.42. Ribs were a shade lower at 4G.70. Estimated receipts for tomorrow; Wheal, 15 cars; corn, 200 cars; oats, 85 cars; hogs, 25,0)0 head.

CONDITIONS 0F TRA&E. International Mercantile Association Summary of Business Con ditions. Iew York, Jan. 29. Telegrams re garding the state of trade from cor respondents of the International Mer cantile Agency throughout the United States are summarized as follows; "In the Central Mississippi valley and throughout the Southwest, business in most staple lines promises to exceed that of the opening months of 1903. General wholesale orders for spring trade this month in that region are said to be heavier than in any preceding January. More than 115,000 wage-earners have gone back to work in Pennsylvania and the Lake region within a fortnight "Extraordinarily easy money markets are not likely to continue much longer. Early ratiflcatio nof tho Panama treaty would mean probable payments to Pan ama and the canal shareholders. As It stands, the Government depository banks might have to furnish $25,000,000 of the funds needed. Overhanging new capital issues will also tend to advance rates. "Olllclals Interviewed Insist that steel rail prices will not be cut and point to the Interest of the Pennsylvania rail road, through Its steel mills, to keep the price up and to light rails being $2 higher. Despite pessimistic reports as to iron and steel, the demand continues to slowly increase, notably for struc tural steel and basic and forge Iron. "Prices have been stronger for cattle, ruUber, coffee, cotton goods, raw cotton, wheat and corn. Not the least encourag ing feature of the business we,ek has been the renewed confidence In a pros perous season, due to an Improvement in collections. St Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth unite in reporting as largo volume of orders as at the like period a year ago. The situation is even more favorablo than that in the Ohio River valley and through the South Atlantic and Gulf Slates." IN WORLD OF COMMERCE. Business Outlook Is Reported Bright by the Commer cial Agencies. New Y'ork, Jan. 29. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Business conditions would bo most sat isfactory if present high prices for tho leading staples wcro the result of whole sale demand, but tho prominence of ma nipulation prevents any gratifying con clusions. Aside from tho lines temporarily stimulated by severe weather, trado Is qulot, and evidences of Increased activity with the approach of spring aro hope fully awaited. Reports of tho building outlook have been prepared by branoh of fices of R. G. Dun & Co., at the leading cities, and Indlcato that high cost of ma terials and labor have curtailed opera tions, although tho year 1903 showed a good gain over 1902. Demand for lumber Is gradually improving, stocks in the yards arc light as a result, and attractive prices promise a large cut. Weather conditions aro favorable for winter wheat. Trans portation has suffered some Interruption by dorms, but railway earnings thus far reported for January arc 3.S per cent larger than In 1903. Optimistic reports aro not numerous regarding the iron and steel Industry. Comparatively quiet condition's In hides have not depressed tho tone. Failures this week numbered 302 In thu United States, agalnBt 213 last year; and 25 In Canada, compared with 30 a year ago.

There is a rather quieter feeling found also In several lines or spec ulation and of Industry. An exception to this is found in thu South, which section, stimulated by almost undreamed of cotton prices.
