A SCARCITY OF

CANNED TOMATOES , f CANNING FACTORIES WITHOUT CONTRACTS SELLING FOR HIGH PRICES. ' - r THE FACTORIES LOST MONEY By Taking Orders Ahead and Then Being Unable to Fill Them With Profit. lrora all over the' country comes reports' of the scarcity of canned tomatoes, and the canning factories that did not contract ahead for their output are on hand with the sack, in which to carry away, the money which they can not receive for their products. In some of the large cities, the groceries are entirely sold' out and the result is the raising of the price everywhere as the wholesale dealers are out and very few factoris have any stock on hand. In Richmond, the grocers are supplied with a limited quantity of canned tomatoes and the price if from two to three cents higher on the can than last winter. The cause of the general shortage in tomatoes was brought about by the short crop of last year. Factories in some localities could not operate their machines because of the shortness of the crop." Around Richmond there was a fair crop, but the canning factories had contracted to sell their product at a low price and when it was found that tomatoes were scarce, and cost more to pack than the selling price, the company went to the wall. In other places the result was not so serious although the plants lost money by contracting ahead for tomatoes which they could not and did not can and had to procure elsewhere at a large price. In other words, tomatoes were cornered and the "shorts" were the losers. In Dayton, the Van Camp Company having contracted ahead for tomatoes which they did not get to pack, had to buy fro mother factories in order to fulfill their contracts. Thousands of cans had to be bought at a price which ranged from ten to fifteen cents higher on the dozen cans than the price at which they had agreed to sell. Other canned goods, such as peas, orn and preserved fruits, are about the same-as last year, there being a great abundance of . them. LOCAL MARKETS COUNTRY PRODUCE. .

CHICAGO MUSKETS

. Chicago, January 25. Lower prices for wheat at Liverpool and comparatively mild weather throughout the Southwest caused a weak market in wheat here. At the opening the feeling was firm, because of considerable covering by shorts. Opening quotations on May "were up a shade to 54(a c. The slight advance met with liberal offerings from commission-houses and created lively selling by local traders. On the reaction May dropped to 85c. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 347 cars , against 243 cars one year ago. Profit-taking by local longs, induced by lower cables and the weakness of wheat, caused a depression in the corn market. May opened a shade lower to a shade .higher and sold off to 44c. Local receipts were 253 cars, with nine of contract grade. Oats were easier in sympathy with wheat and corn. Local receipts were 94 cars. , Oats were easier in sympathy with wheat and corn.

IIIDIMMLIS HMETS

Indianapolis, January 25. ReceiptsS,500 hogs, 1,1100 cattle and 500 sheep, against 6,243 hogs, 1,S74 cattle and 858 sheep a week ago, and 10,066 hogs, 1,270 'cattle and 246 sheep a year ago. Receipts of hogs were the largest for about two weeks, and with unfavorable reports from other plaees and the fact that priees here for some time have been comparatively high- were factors that were an advaptage to buyers. The average decline was 10c, compared with yesterday. There was a fair demand both from local and outside sources. The closing market was quiet, , with a further wCaker tendency. Sales ranged from $5.35 to $5.70, and the bulk of the supply sold at $5.45(a5.60. There was a continued slow and limited demand from nearly all sources and for practically all kinds of cattle. The market was slow with a weaker tendency:- Cattle that were wanted sold at about steady priees. Trading was slow and the close quiet, with cattle in all departments left unsold. There was a steady demand for bulls at about former prices and little change in prices of calves. Receipts of sheep and lambs were 4 larger than they have been for a week and enough to invite all buyers into the market. The demand, however, was confined principally to local btttchers and the supplies being a little larger than necessary for them, prices generally were lower. Most of the offerings were lambs and sales represented a general decline of 25c from yesterday. Only a few smalP bunches brought $7.50, while the larger bunches sold at-$7.-00(a7.25, and ordinary grades sold as low as $5.00. Sheep sold for $4.75 down. Cattle.

STOCK MARKET WAS FEVERISH

OPENED IRREGULAR WITH i FREE SELLING AND WIDE RECOVERIES FEATURES TRADING BECAME DULL And Prices Hardened Large Selling Orders Caused Material Setback at Close. New York, January 25. The tone of the opening stock market was feverish and irregular. There were wide recoveries in some of the stocks which were under pressure at the closing last night, but free selling was in evidence in other quarters of the list. Anaconda rebounded 4, St. Paul li2, Colorado Fuel, Lead and Reading about a point, and Amalgamated Copper and Sugar large fractions. The first sales of Union Pacific were of 2,000 shares at 15714 and 15714, compared with 157 last night. Resistence was shown to pressure and recoveries were made; from" declines. Stocks which opened higher extended their gains. Free offerings came out at advance and there wefe abrupt reactions. St. Paul rose an extreme 2 points, Krooktyn Transit 1, Union Pacific and Amalgamated Copper l1 and Great Northern prefered and Sugar 1. The reaction wiped out the , gains and carried Reading 2 points below last night and Chesapeake & Ohio, Southern Railway. United States Steel preferred and Smolting 1. Prices steadied later. ( 'Prices hardened slowly, arid the trading became very dull. A few dormant stocks made wide changes. Buying showed more animation at noon. The recovery in the market did not extend much beyond yesterday's closing level before large selling orders were encountered and prices fell backward very materially. Union Pacific was driven below yesterday's closing again and Reading and some of the specialties sold at the lowest. NEW YORK STOCKS. (Furnished by O. G. Murray.) open close. Amal.
