SHOWED LITTLE
CHANGE IN WEEK
Conditions Generally Are
Dull, But Slight Improve
ment Is Reported in Iron
and Steel Markets.
'Very lllllo change occurred. In local busi
ness during the Inst week, although In
some tines slight Improvement wti "re
ported. Tills was especially so In ttie
-cniie ot tho Iron and steel and the paper
markets, where conditions were said to
ho looking up. THo general opinion In
tho Iron and steel trade Is thai the dull
ttess has run Ha course and from now on
things will gradually becomo better.
Some Increase In Bales Is reported by
paper, manufacturers and Jobbers.
. It. O. Dun & Co. ray In their weekly
review ot trade conditions In Philadel
phia: "in the local wool trade a firm tone Is
maintained and tho demand Is fair, par
ticularly for fine and fine-medium tcrrl
tprks and for medium fleece. Transac
tions In territories show prices on a clear
hasls, and, aa a rule, 1 cent higher than
, they were a wc,ek or 10 days ago. The
demand for pulled wools Is fair and prices
nrm.
"A somewhat better feeling Is noted In
o iron and steel market, although It
.nas not as yet crystallized Into1 actual
uslness. Tho sentiment, however, seems
4 be that a turn has como and a ro-
jC.overy from present depression Is cx
tpected. Mills arc running at about balf
capacity and, whllo In somo cases some
what heavier buvlnir l.i rmnrt It l
stated to bo as the result of concession In
Price. In finished material buying Is
light and structural work Is In Irregular
demand. Trices In general aro still un
certain and collections fair.
"The bituminous coal trade, dependent
It ia on general Industrial conditions,
mporis no material change In tho volume
Of buying. In prices or In nrosncctn for
;tha future. Somo dealers hopo for better
conditions In a short time, but admit they
mve no concrete nxgumenta to back up
hdr hopo. In the anthracite lino condl-
Jonj aro somewhat mora favorable, de
mand la reported ah fair and tho xeneral
uiiook is promising.
"Tho leather market continues Arm nnd
prices steady. Heavy leather of all grades
is rcarce and only small stocks are mi
lia'.d. Glazed kid Is In only moderate de-
i,td, while Both Importing and exporting
.atreaty Interfered with by forelim con-
tlons. Shoe dealers report sales only In
Hall .amount anil collections slow.
"There Is a alight increased activity In
focal building and contracting lines the
aat week,, principally small olterotlon
Contracts. Tho competition In prices Is
Uen and margin ot profits to the builder
(mall. Estimates are asked on a fair
Imount of contemplated Improvements ahd
lojino new buildings, but the Indications
point to comparatively moderate busl-
less In this line for the balance of the
ear which Is naturally the dull season.
fcsluncertalnty as to weather conditions
have to be considered.

What has already been done can never be forgotten. Until the
world's end, and until the end of all, the record will remain indelible,

And of how America, the one remaining great nation at peace,

LITTLE BUSINESS
DONE IN WHEAT
AT START TODAY
Opening Steady to Firm, But
Market Turns a Little
Easier on Some Selling by
Leading Houses.
CHICAGO, Kov. 20.-Thero was little
business In tho wheat market this morn
ing. Tho opening was steady to firm, but
turned n llttlo easier on some selling by
leading houses. Other Important concerns
then bec.llno buyers. The market at Ilv-
crpool was firmer at first on disquieting
news from Argentina, hut later a cable
was received saying the weather there
had been Improved. This caused tho Eng
lish market to react.
Broomhatl says thcro now Is nothing
unusual In the export demand. H Is not
heavy from any quarter, ho says, and
America can easily take caro ot Inquiries
for the present.
The weather in India Is dry over quite
on area. Shipments aro light, being es
timated at 400.000 bushels for tho week,
much below expectations. Holders aro
very reserved. Crop prospects In Hit
mania aro favornblo and corn Is being
shipped over tho frontier.
Tho receipts at spring wheat points in
tho United States wore smaller, nnd It
wni belloved Hint tho crest ot tho move
ment has passed.
Corn was easy, but dealings wero light
nnd local. Tho market at Liverpool was
firm.
Oats was easier and dealings wero
small.

FINANCIAL CIRCLES
CENTRE INTEREST IN
BOND TRAM HALT
Governing Committee of
New York Stock Exchange
May Take Some Action at
Meeting on Tuesday.
All Interest In the financial community
today centred In the sudden rupturo tf
tho plans of the Special Commlttco of
Five of the Now York Stock Exchange
to resume trading In bonds on the floor of
tho Exchaugn tomorrow.
The suggestion was made on tho Street
that it Was found that the special com
mlttco did not liavo the power to order
tho resumption of bond trndlng, and that
action on tho matter will bo taken nt
tho regular meeting of the Govcrnlpg
Committee. This meeting should liavo
been held next Wednesday, but because
bf TlimikRglvIng Daj arrangements It wa
decided to hold It on Tuesday, when some
action may bo made.
Because sterling exchange was heavily
bought during tho morning at an advance
ot 1 cent there was a disposition thcro
to assume that tho abrupt change In
plans was duo to fears of foreign liquida
tion. As far iib can bo learned thero Is
no ground for this assumption.
,Wlth minimum prices enforced foreign
liquidation could not bo effected In Inrgo
volume, ne anv supply from that source
would at once check a demand, but as a
matter of fact the street is full of buying
otdcrs, not only from home buyers, but
from Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin anil Lon
don, and foreign capita! Is In cvldcnco
hero seeking Investments In which safety
is the first consideration.
Bids for Wesllnghouso Bs at 84 were
reported, and the demand has spread
from railroad mortgages to Industrials,
with advancing prices naturally result
ing. On the Now street curb tho places of
tho belter class of stocks wero filled by
low-priced Industrials. Allls Chalmers,
common, was quoted nt G',1 bid; 51. Ilu

Jlcthlrhcm Stcol reported through the
New York Clearing Houso was at 39, and
Central Leather continues In demand
around 325.
Call money In New York has broken
fairly through tho 5 per cent, rato and
most of today's loans wcro mado at 4H
per cent.
Merlins exchange was heavily bought

tho same bujlng was npparent today. In
somo quarters It is thought this buying
is connected with the London Stock, Ex
