COLD WEATHER CAUSES DEMAND

TOR COAL WHICH HERETOFORE HAS BEEN DEAD WEIGHT ON DEALERS. GENERAL STRIKE OF MINERS Will Not Affect Price of the Fuel This Winter Laying Up Next Winter' 8 Supply. The extreme cold weather has cruised a heavy demand for coal and Saturday and Monday the dealers of the city were rushed with orders from those who had allowed their coal to get low in the bin. Although the demand is brisk, no advance is expected in the price just at present r.nd there is enough of a supply on hand to meet any emergency. The past winter has been a poor one for the coal dealers and up to the present time there has been but n small percentage of the usual Amount of coal sold. Now the dealers are beginning to make up for the lost time and hundreds of tons are being ordered. Although a general strike has been declared, there has been no advance in price at the mines and the operators insist that they have enough on hand to supply the country for a long period. The retail dealers also have stock on hand which was not used during the winter and they are not afraid that the coal "jobbers" or brokers will get hold of the stock and retain it until enormous prices must be paid. Several Richmond people are buying their next winter's supply in anticipation of a protracted strike. LOCAL MARKETS COUNTRY PRODUCE. . (Paid by the Bee Hive Grocery.) Batter.

CHICAGO MARKETS

Bear News Was Stronger Than Bull Wheat News Resulting in a Slight Weakening in The Prices. Chicago, February 5. News favorable to the bulls was counterbalanced by news favorable to the bears and as a result a steady tone prevailed at the opening in the wheat market. The bullish news was strong; cables and reports of zero weather in Kansas and Nebrasgka. Factors favoring the bears were a liberal increase in the amount of breadstutTs on ocean passage and an excess in the world's shipment for the week, compared with the corresponding week of one year ago. Selling was scattered and commissionhouses were the principal buyers. May opened a shade lower to Vk 4C higher, sold off to 85 Vic and then held steady around S5c. Realizing in Corn. Small local receipts and firm cables caused considerable covering by shorts in the corn pit, and in consequence the market opened firm. A slight gain in prices caused moderate realizing which brought about a slight decline. May opened c to V4C higher, and then sold at 44c. Oats were about steady on a fair demand by commission houses. The local receipts were 18G cars, which number was under the previous estimates, and this fact partly accounted for the steady feeling. Provisions were inclined to be weak at the opening on selling by local holders and small packers. The chief cause of the depression was a decline of 5c in the price of live hogs.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS

Steady to Easier in Hog Market; Affected by Receipts and Prices at Other Places; Cattle Receipts Larger. Indianapolis. February 5. Receipts 2.000 hogs, 600 cattle and 10 sheep, against 2,356 hogs, 219 cattle and 30 sheep a week ago, and 2,931 hogs and 445 cattle a year ago. Receipts of hogs were smaller than the average expected for the opening day of the week. Other markets, however, reported liberal supplies and lower prices. There was a limited, but urgent, demand from outside sources for lightweights, and the supply of such kinds being small, they were soon placed at steady 'prices, compared with Saturday. Lo cal packers had little opposition for the heavier grades, and prices were 5c under Saturday morning, but about equal to those at the close Saturday. Sales ranged from $5.80 5.95, and the bulk of the supply sold at $5.S5(a5.90. For the first time since August 11, 1905, the extreme price for light and heavy hogs was the same. Light Cattle in Demand. Receipts of cattle were considerably larger than expected at this time in the week. The different grades were well represented while in quality and fat the standard was fully equal to the last few days. There was a good demand especially from local cattle as well as for the good light steers and they found a comparatively easy outlet at steady prices compared with the close of last week. Heavier steers were 10c lower. The demand for the feeding stock was equal to the supply but the demand for bulls was not so strong. Calves sold fully steady compared with Saturday. At the close of trade the pens had been well cleared. Pew Sheep and Lambs. As usual on Monday there were not enough sheep or lambs to establish new prices. On a basis of last week's closing prices lambs would have sold for $7.40 down, yearlings for $5.50 down and sheep for $5.00 down. Cattle.

IRREGULARITY WAS THE FEATURE

LARGE SELLING ORDERS AND SOME DECLINES RESULTED. SEVERITY OF OPENING Forced Protective Measures by Inside Interests and Buying Orders Were Influencing. New York, February 5. Large selling orders appeared for execution with the opening of the stock market and some wide declines resulted. The level of prices throughout was a varying fraction lower than Saturday. Reading broke 2lg, Northern Pacific and Colorado Fuel 2, Brooklyn Transit 1, Great Northern preferred iy2. United States Steel preferred and Amalgamated Copper ls, Pennsylvania, Norfolk & Western, Ontario & "Western, St. Paul, Erie and Smelting about a point. The severity of the opening decline forced protective measures by inside interests and buying orders began to make their appearance felt before the market had gone much lower. Losses were generally reduced to a slight fraction, but the market did not hold on the rally. Trading Was Dull. Prices were held and came up again a little higher than before, but the demand died out and trading became very dull. Northern Pacific got 114 over Saturday and Great Northern preferred 4V4. The general tone became heavy when Reading weakened again to the lowest but the rise in Amalgamated Copper to above 115 was a counteracting influence. Fitful rallies and reactions were frequent enough to interfere with extensive market movements, and as a consequence there was little effort made to swing large lines of stocks. A general setback occurred after 12 o'clock, but an hour later the market was rising again, Union Pacific selling a fraction above last week's closing and Amalgamated Copper a point. NEW YORK STOCKS.
