SOFT GOAL W FALL IN PRICE

J WEATHER CONTINUES A ! FEW DAYS. j RATE HAS ALREADY FALLEN In Indianapolis Which May Effect Local Markets No Change In j Anthracite. If there is a continuation of the warm weather,' the price of soft coal "will probably break inside the next three or four clays, as at present the demand, except for use under boilers of steam engines is almost nothing and the demand keeps up the 'price. Soft coal has been steady almost all winter at from $3-.50 to $6.00 per on, and the demand has been great enough to enable the coal dealers to charge this price, but a warm wave has already broken the price of soft coal at Indianapolis, where it can be bought from fifty cents to $1 cheaper than here. If coal can be procured cheaper in Indianapolis than in Richmond, the large factories, which consume the most coal, will ship from there, since transportation facilities are good, and the result will be a big break in the local markets. No change is anticipated in the price of Anthracite. This coal is regarded by the dealers as a staple, which can always be sold for about the same price, and it would be useless for them to sell at a cheaper price when it costs as much at the mines at all times as it does now. There is also danger of a strike in the hard coal mines and this is placing the dealers on their guard. An effort is being made by most of them to get as much Anthracite on hand as possible, for in case of a strike, the mines may be closed for months, and the price would, in that instance, rise, to extreme heights. Until the conference in Indianapolis is over, it will not be known what steps the miners and employers will take to settle the matter. There is tut little wood being sold fact that one dollar's worth of coal will last twice as long and give more heat than wood twice that amount. Wood is hard to buy, and sells at retail for $2.50 per cord. LOCAL MARKETS COUNTRY PRODUCE. . (Paid by the Bee Hive Grocery.) 4 Batter. Creamery, ...... 23c to 27c Country, .....15c to 20c Eggs.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS I

Indianapolis, January 22. Receipts, 2,500 hogs, 600 cattle and 50 sheep, against 3,406 hogs and 563 cattle a week ago " and 2,059 hogs, 446 cattle and 65 sheep a year ago. Receipts of hogs were not quite as large as a week ago, but were a fair average for Monday. The standard of quality and fat was possibly not up to that on Saturday. Local packers were about the only buyers, but the supply was only about equal to their requirements, and there was an active market at steady to strong prices compared with Saturday. Occasional sales were 5c higher. The market closed steady at opening prices. Sales ranged from $5.40 5G7y2, and the bulk of the supplies sold at $5.50(a5.60. Receipts of cattle were equal to the average at this" time in the week. The quality and condition of the offerings were only fair to good, there being a scarcity of cattle tljat could be sold around top prices. AIL buyers were in the field but they did not have urgent orders, and the market was quiet on a basis of last week's closing prices, except calves, and they were 25c lower. In view of the sharp decline in prices last week and in anticipation of smaller supplies and more favorable weather conditions this week, it is expected that the market in the near future will be at least steady and not a few will be disappointed unless there is some advance in prices. There were few sheep or lambs and no quotable change in prices compared with the close of last week. On a basis of last week's closing prices lambs would sell for $7.75 down, yearlings for $6.00 down and sheep for $5.00 down. Cattle.

WAS IRREGULAR BEAR SELLING THROWS AMALGAMATED COPPER BACK REALIZING SALES. f ST. PAUL'S UPWARD BOUND Helps Whole List to Recover Reading Makes 159y2 Record. Dnll Trading. New York, January 22. Most stocks at the opening responded to a renewal of the" heavy buying orders that were current Saturday, especially St. Paul, the Pacifies, United States Steel, Reading and Louisville. The gains in these were limited to moderate fractions, but counter-balanced the effect of bear selling in Amalgamated Copper, which threw it down a point. Anaconda, on the other hand, jumped 7 points. The breadth of the market invited realizing sales and the movement of prices were very irregular during the first hour. In the same group one stock advanced while another was sold. There was. realizing in Union Pacific, . while Southern Pacific rose iys and in United States Steel, the preferred was supported. Amalgamated Copper and Reading were notably under pressure and receded about iy2 below Saturday. When St. Paul started upward again to 198, prices elsewhere recovered. Reading rose buoyantly to 15912, a new record, and Anaconda rebounded from 270 to 282. Smelting 2, and Norfolk & Western 1.
