SWAN, CULBERTSON & FRITZ LATEST REPORTS
New York, Feb. 1.
S. C. & F. Dow Jones Summary of yesterday's markets:
Prices to-day declined further on continued caution and observers salé that the market was still experiene- American Ing a technical recovery. telephones were again weak and ob- servers said that further declines might bring a sharp break. The weekly review of the American metal macksta, said that buyers were not stcel exerting pressure to change
to hold prices, which are expected Arm. It is noted that consumers are tising steel nt a higher rate than tho 30% production would indiente. Foreign copper prices favourably in- fluenced copper issues,
S.C.&.F. correspondent cables; Stocks: The market tone to-day Was somewhat better, but the volume of business was disappointing. After an early decline, some advances were registered and the recovery should continue, unless some unfavourable news should appear. Business fai- Jures for the week totalled 321. Bank deposits for the week amounted to $14,683,000,000,
Colton: The Impression is gaining that last year's crop control measures will apply this year. Inflation im- plications are hardly a factor yet and n moderate trading range is probable. Out of 6 brokers, 5 are bulilsh and 1 is bearish.
Wheat: Continued drought and dust reports from the South-West and the Government estimate of 110,- 000,000 bushels carry-over as against 200,000,000 by other recent estimates, has improved sentiment. Increased exports will be necessary, however, before there can be any material im provement in prices. Out of 7 brokers, 4 are bullish and 3 are bearish..
Corn:
Sentiment is bearish on the well-known country supplies and on sluggish exports.
Ruber December shipments of casings totalled 3,103,402 units, while production amounted 10 2,052,177 and inventory 10.775,702 units. The market to-day was thin.
Prices Sugar:
were wealt on scattered liquidation, weakness on and stop-loss the Lundon market orders.
