American grain markets.'’ aabl he. "la
really baaed on tbe strength In'Europe nnd
certainly appears legitimate. Our crons are
undeniably short nnd n great deni of your
produce will be needed by consumers. The
critical time in the life of the Aftantlne
wheat crop will coine next month- At that
time we will be watching the situation
closely because a frost will then he J» very

Is sttl»Jcct to heavy penhlties in c*»e lie fall
to fill his charter ougagements. Arbitrary
prleea for wheat have been necessary to fill
the Ixinta that have arrived, nnd In some
case* the shipper has been mined. Predic
tion* arc made that tbe Hussion shlpnmnta
will soon show a marked decrease. Tbla,
however, la In line with many previous
claims made for Htissla In other year*.
Chicago Evening Post; Logan A Bryan
said: "Better Inquiry for cn»h wheat, one
and one-half cents under the December has
been bid today. This, coupled with the
strength. In corn, ha* given na a sharp ui>-
turn In wheat. The leading bull Interests
have l»een the be*t buyers. The demand la
chiefly for the December kind, and ns a
consequence I he May-I>eceml*er apread bat
narrowed to from 4%c to 6c."
J. Ogden Armour, In an Interview this
morning, states that any talk of hla being
Interested In the wheat market la abso
lutely untrue. He has no trades and haa
had none, and Is not lurerested In any way
In the wheat market.
There la further talk In Italy.of the poaal-
blllty of a reduction In the import duty.
The present duty on wheat la 37%c per 60
pounds. Tbe opinion la expressed, by mer
chants nt Budapest thav rt will be neces
sary for Austrla-lluugury lo Import wheat,
nnd na a result the suspension of the Im

FANCY PRICES EXPECTED
FOR GOODS AFTER NEW YEAR.
A« ill classes of buyers appreciate the
sold-up condition «f cotton goods ns affect
lug thla fall and winter, they feel more In
c|Hied to order further supplies for spring.
The product of mil!*, working nt their pro*
ent capacity, can no more than fill existing
contracts. Thla means, so "f*nt* declare,
that buyers who are short will have to poy
fancy prices for g«H»ds srter the new year.
Except on some few lines of conrae yarn
gw*da, the market for spring delivery Is re
covering. «n fine yarn, bleached goods It
la working up stcadljy nuUer buying from
cutters-up. For their near-by requirement*
cutters'are unable to get spots in rtu# yarn
cloths. Even for spring they find the mar
ket sold dawn elope. In point of sales It la
stated by lending agenta that colored eot-
tons are showing up well. Theyare selling
steadily at market prices to jobbers and
garment manufacturers, who are taklug bn
stock for lute winter ami spring need*. In
the cotton yarn market sellers are tusking
