Great business revolution lifts weight on market outlook
New York reports a striking shift in trade conditions with a freeing sense across business, though actual transactions lag. Wheat rose to 82 for November and 82 for December as profits were taken, while Western wheat receipts fell to 6,087,159 bushels from 8,091,910 and Atlantic exports declined to 1,588,358 from 1,790,833. Cotton speculation rose on mills restarting, and pig iron prices leapt to 12 at Pittsburgh, signaling demand for building orders. The billet pool undersold, altering allotment to favor fairness, and the nail industry faces a looming clash between jobbers and producers. Weekly failures total 230 in the U.S. and 2 in Canada, vs 280 and 49 last year.
