Beers took advan- tage of the dullness in grain speculation to-day and the desire of corn traders to sell and pressed all the pits for lower prices. At the close May wheat had lost May corn Pi and May oats tilc. Provisions closed 5 to 12sc lower. Corn started slightly hrmer on cables which responded to yesterday's local improvement. There were a few buying orders out and May opened unchanged to higher at C34'63'diC, Milder weather and very slack business, however, soon began to turn hcntiniont, and the bears look control of the market.
At no time did the market get above the opening prices, and with the arrival of small bits of bearish news selling became rather popular. Bains were reported in Argentina Rtid Kansas City was having a weak market. Heavy selling developed soon after the opening hour by brokers said to represent Kt. I.ouls Interests and those of prominent local long holders. A bad break ensued and prices were at the bottom at the close, Jlav weak, lc lower at Keccipfs were 82 cars.
What was dull again all session and ruled wesk under the depressing corn ln-Muerice. At the opening a slightly better cash demand, improved cables, especially from Antwerp, and a small demand for short covering helped prices a shade. May started a shade to Bc up at 78'4 to but soon turned easy. There was almost a total absence of outside burilnt-sa and the dullness favored bearish sentiment. The corn break, however, was the prime factor.
May fluctuated rather narrowly after It sold off to 77c. The close was weak. May lower at Local receipts were 14 cars, none of contract grades; Minneapolis and Imluth reported 261 cars, making a total for the three points of 27o cars, ajratrwt 2o last week and 3-M a year am). Primary receipts were bushels. with the same day last year.
Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour equaled bushels, compared Witn uw bushels last year. Argentine shipments were oKx.OOo bushels for the week, against 1.2Uu0 bushels a year fiats were at their highest prices at the opening. Trade was almost dead at the start. May opening at 44sc. The trading was confined almost entirely to the loal crowd.
There was no feature HFtd from the evident desire to sell. email covering on the decline steadied th weakening market at times. May sold off and tou'hed closing weak. Vule lower at 43tc Keceipts were only Do car. Provtdions were weak at tn opening on large receipts and lower prices at the yards.

7. The coffee market opened steady with prices 6 to 10 points lower and for the rest of the session ruled comparatively steady without further decline of account. On the early break selling of long coffee was active and bear pressure proved something of a feature. The heaviness waa due largely to continued large receipts in the crop country and to weakness in all foreign sfieculatlve markets. Enormous clearances from Santos for the United States and a decline of Sc In spot coffee in the stieet market helped to force prices off.
Ileiief that receipts in Brazil would continue la.i ge during the reft of the month prevented buying for a reaction. The market closed steady with prices i to 10 points lower.

The Improvement in bars as to demand and price, as well as supply, has been material, while in the case of sheets and pipes, tin plate and tubes the change has simply been perceptible without material gain. In all other respects the finished steel markets are In full I strength with a good percentage of the nnniiHl production contracted for. Prices on tin plate have not been touched for some months when the rate at mill was 1 fixed at the minimum of $1.
while the cost of sheets remains as Quoted for I months and the discounts on pipes and tules remain unchanged. In bars the official quotations have not been advanced in the Western district as a whole, but some sellers have established an increase of $2 per ton on common bar. Steel bars are unchanged and refined iron bars, the Pittsburg product, are strong at as high as $2 per 100 pounds at mill, with occasional higher figures for small lots for prompt delivery. The strain of the demand rests principally upon structural material and plates, which is not likely to be removed for a long time. The structural plants have been behind in deliveries for a good portion of a year and at the pace running between demand and supply the delayed contracts will linger all through this year.
The tonnnge for structural work in buildings is higher than ever, with new contracts looming up every week, while the requirements for bridge construction are far in advance of the ability of the mills to produce on time. The production of structural at present Is more rapid probably than for some time, but even with the best that can be done under the handicap of shortage In cars, the consumers of structural nre bound to "be hampered considerably during the busiest seascsn when the weather relaxes sufficiently to permit broader operations in all classes of construction work. The extraordinary demand for structural makes an Impression upon the plate supply, ss In addition to the regular heavy consumption for ship and car bnilding which this year is far beyond the normal, the consumption of plates in structural work is proving a severe drain upon the ready supply of plates, heavy as the capacity is. Ordinarily the plate consumption fails to reach the producing capacity. hut at present the demand exceeds the ready supply.
These products are less affectetl by the rush for material as regitrds price advancement than mrist of the other finished steel materials, as the tonne Is contracted for practically for the year In advance. The output of rails Is progressing to the capacity of the mills, but the wide rantre of work promised by several of the leading roads has been delayed by an apparent shortage in the ready supply of track supplies, spikes, bolts, etc. The rails are being made and delivered, however, as steadily as the mills can turn them out, and by the time the spring weather Is at hand the supply makers wl'l hav overtaken their trade. Secondary only to the shortage lrt cars as a serious problem to iron and steel producers and consumers. Is the scarcity of billets.
Scarcity In this caw Is more relative and apparent than real, far as relates to the normal supplv as a gutdlng point. The billet mills are running to their extreme limit and eVerytody knows that the full production of rdliets exceeds the strong normal demand much, or more, as the jlato capacity ex-rel the normal demand in that product. For sorue months, however, the supply of billets has been so far removed from the general market that to secure them has been next to Impossible ICven the most fortunate consumers managed to buy only In the smallest lots at the highest This, notwithstand ing ne rnct that the consumptive capacity of the finishing plants, generally sieaking, has not been eniarsred and the production of billets is at the extreme limit, which should keep billets in fslr to g'd supply. 1-e thsn a year the tejtdlna producer of billet was solo-ping to foreign points at prices that did not much nwl the panic values ot home Since that time billets have been called scarce In the Trnlted States, and the price advanced from at lltts-bnrg to the present minimum of Ulifher prices are a prospect.

Address 246 Sth PITTSBURU. PA c7! KZS St. CAR SUPPLY IRREGULAR AND CONDITIONS IN THE MARKET ARE NOT PERFECT. DEMAND AHEAD OF DELIVERY. Structural Production Hampered Dif ficult to Secure Billets Even at a Premium.
PIG IRON PRICES MAY BE LIFTED. The course In which the lines of the iron and steel markets are cast Is not the course the producers and consumers would have if they could choose without reserve and with the certainty that their choice would be carried out In practice. It seems as if the unbalancing which the markets received last summer could not be overc.jme. As fast as one point of defense is covered up proiwrly another is broken down and exposed so that the markets as a whole at present are la a most undesirable condition. The demand is outrunning the ready supply and while many, if not the majority, of the heavy tonnage contracts are scattered as to delivery throughout the greater part 'of the year, the congestion remains as severe as ever at the furnaces and plants.
Shipments are extremely difficult, but the shortage of cars is not quite so uniform as a few months ago. Now there are periods, short it is true, but still periods in which the supply of cars is probably equal to the requirements of shippers. But those periods of plenty are followed so closely by the famine periods that the situation as a whole Is not materially improved. And it may oe accepted as a disagreeable fact that that condition continues one bad week to balance against one good week of shipments, the markets will not return to favorable a-spt-cts soon, as for several months the supply of cars to provide ready movement of raw and finished material is the only fault In the industrial conditions. The demand Is strong, the producers have prepared to meet the extra tonnage for prompt consumption, prices are simply good, not too high except In the case of billets, and every other 'eatur Is promising.
The delinquency of the railroads remains the only deficiency. With the approach of spring the demand for the relatively small orders for Immediate consumption Is growing Bteadl-ly and strongly with each week. There is every reason to believe that this demand will continue to grw for the greater portion of the year, unless th railroads fail to overcome their weakness, in which case the steel finishing plants would be compeiled to decline the tight tonnaee and make the fullest use of their productive capacity to complete the large contracts which are booked to run through the first nine months of the year. Such a contingency will either force prices on the staples in finished steel to the inflation degree, or force the suspension of considerable work which hs ben outlined, thus shrinking th anticipated annual tonn.tge by considerable. If the prlc" are forced, up there Is the danger of a buyer" panic which will strip the markets of sll current dmnd exc-pt that Insignificant portion which cannot be delayed.
But iu the main the condition. must improve materially before long if the markets are to meet the anticipated tonnage for th year. When it is remembered that so much of last year's deliveries are still on the bwk of the manufacturers, and at the best rantmt be completed and delivered for some weeks hence, the of the conditions may be l-tter understood. The continuation of the ruling conditions will ultimately fore the producers to attempt to compensate for the tonnage in an effort to produce the output of 52 months in seven or elKht. possibly nine This will put a premium on material and plants throughout the year, and an active Influential force must be kept alive and at work without a break if prices are kept from soaring to the point of danger For, It must be remembered also that the existing congestion at the.
mills on deliveries is not so much the of the demand, per sn, as from itii failure to move materials. but whatever the causes in such the effects are identical and the consumers must bear the brunt. If the question were one simply cf the finishing steel plants and even the blat furnace meeting a heavy demand the situation would not have continued so long, for the demand does not exceed the capaity to produce. The dmsin.J is stiH so far in advance of deliveries because the uIiverls are far below the normal. The blast furnaces are.
producing at practically their normal except in those famine periods when the supply of cars for ccke transportation falls behind, forcing the pig iron producers t- slacken up in thdr operations. The furnace capacity has been covered In actual contracts for the first six months as a rul'. although there is a number of stacks that have not engaged t' deliver their full capacity after April 1, with rt scattering tonnase to be shipped through the second quarter. But as a whole it may bo snid thut the plsr Iron production of merchant Bessemer, foundry and mill Irons has been sold for the first half of the year at ruling quota Hons. Many of the larger stacks have sold their product up through the first three quarters.

has Induced a better demand for country produce, but it is still not as heavy aJ dealers desire, becuutte of the almost prohibitive prices on some articles. Potatoes are changing hands in car load lots, but not much i done on the small lot plan. A good many potatoes have been frosted and pedlars will soon be offering them to unsuspecting housewives as fancy stock at bargain prices. Fruit 1h moving moderately but prices are high on some lines. California navel orangea are expected to be short early in March, although ordinarily they go out a month later.
Thic is ascribed to a shortage in the last crop. Pineapples are scarce, nut In a few weeka Florida will be sending out large quantities. Uairy products are in fair demand and strong at recent prices. A rholce craten I1.mVj2. .5 do.

"A man named Ulves. returning from an expedition, which was chiefly devoted to murdering Trojans, in trying to get back to Ithaca, was shipwrecked and cast ashore on the Island of the nymph. As Uly was a likely looking fellow, although he had lost his celluloid collar and cuffs and his leather diekey C'alvpso landed him with a few fetching rr'Vois.
