CHICAGO , Jan , 17. The wheat , corn nnd
oats markets today rose out of n rather
heavy condition In the last ten minutes of
the session nnd closed strong nt the best
prices of the day nnd nl gain * of He In
wheat and Uc In corn and. oats. Provisions
were Irregular In the further advance
TUilch they made today , having had to
halt while knocking out nn organized band
of raiders from the wheat pit , who at
tempted to prevent them going higher , but
made n costly failure. Pork closed at nn
advance over yesterday of ZJ&c , laril 5c and
ribs lOc.
Partly due to the strong start In pro
visions nnd In part for reasons peculiar to
Its own surroundings , the wheat market
commenced the day at n llttlo Improvement.
Wheat , which closed on the day before
at DD o for May , had very few rollers nt
that tills morning , and plenty who bid
EDJc and almost Immediately G9c. The
early Liverpool cables quoted some advance
there , and this , with the moderate receipts
In the northwest , amounting to only 373
cars , helped the market to advance Uc
early. Uut the extreme dullness In trade
nnd the report of moro'gold shipments
wcro weakening factors , under which thcro
was a gradual decline to 59V4c , with every
appearance of going1 ntlll lower , but the
fresh bullishness of the provision pit startoj
It up again , nnd It wns once more before
12 o'clock wanted nt E9J4c. Hut the nonappearance -
appearance of the cold wave here nnd the
heavy storm out on the Paclllo coast
Bnppo l support which had previously been
nn unobtrusive reliance of the bills. The
clearances of wheat und Hour from the At
lantic seaboard were only moderate , nnd
Inter Liverpool advices quoted the early
gain nil lost , llerlln was repotted as openIng -
Ing from H to % mark lower. A probable ,
decrease of onlv COO.OOO bu. or COO.OUO bu. In
the visible supply for the week wns another
point In favor of the bears. The second nd-
vnnco to GDc had for Its cause , besides the
revival of bull speculation ln provisions , a
reported sale of 500,00" " ) bu. of wheat at
Duluth to go. all rail , to New York. In ad
dition to this wete reported 1,2.73,000 bu
engaged there for May-Juno shipment
by lakes. The mnrket In the last ten min
utes of the session became quite strong
the prlco of May getting a bulge to C0'ic
llmtlly closing nt that llgtire.
Corn wtis quiet and sold off some nt one
time , Influenced by the weakness In whoa
and the expectation of more liberal country
deliveries. Hut Inter wheat recovered , nm
as provisions had a good bulge , corn fol
lowed and sold up Vic. May opened un
changed nt from iiSTie to 2Sc , split , fcl
to 28i4c , then up to 2SViC , closing Ilrm with
the advance In provisions at from 2Sic } to
&T4c.
Oats were qulot nnd featuro'.cps. The
'market ' was confined to narrow limits , ant
at the close showed little change.
Disappointment In the number of hogn
received at the stock yards once mote
started the provision men on a hunt foi
pork , lard and ribs , for which they offered
much higher ilgures than were current ns
the so'Slon was closing yesterday , Pork
started at from $1025 to $1030. dropped back
to $10.15 , then climbed to $10.15 nnd closed
nt that figure. Lard rose from Jj.OO to $6
nnd was wanted at $ j.D7f. ! ns the marke1
was closing , nibs , from $3.1214. rose to
$323 , making the highest price at the close
Estimated receipts for Saturday : Wheat
70 cars : corn , 59 cars ; oats , 190 cars ; hogs
15.000 head.

continued mild weather ha been favorable fo
K very heavy production , nnd recclpW hnve bfen

that stocks OT hand are lanre. In the fae
of thes facts there Is n very poor consuming
demand nnd atocki In cold glornse nt the lend
Ing centers nre Inrtfe. T.ie supply ot fresh stock l

Immediate Improxemrnt , nnd even If the mnrke

A. decided change has come upon the country
market , nccordlng tr > the Chluiso Shoo and
Loalhcr Review , Huff hides have dropped from
7Uc to "c. A week ago the price wns 7Mc. The
quotation * of country hides are less slaple than
packer hides , for the reason that the latter nro
In fewer nnd stronger ImndH. There are people
who nfllrm that buffs are on the down grade ,
now that the giulriiy Benson Is on , and they
freely predict Oc as the coming figure. Oa the
cnntiary. the.ro nre otliera who refute to become
rutUcM nt a slight decline , nnd InsUt that th-
old bull nrgument of scarcity will be just as
offcctlto us r\er In n few dayx.
Dealers My the fall kill Is coming In very
lowly. There were perhaps eight cars of buff *
In the maiket nt the time the brcuk occurred.
Tim small kilt nnil the Lenten season will tend
to mnlco buffs roirec In March , drubs am late

Weekly Review of Trndo. which Issues to
morrow , will say : The situation cfluld
hardly bo more perplexing for buMnes
men. Practical merchants , manufacturers
or bankers can have llttlo sympathy fo
those who minimize their dimcultles. Non
doubt that the government will raise money
to meet Its obligations , but how far th
money market will bo disturbed or th
treasury reserve flrst diminished no on
cnn vy. The business world cannot kno\
ns yet how far foreign questions may upso
calculations , though there poems even
rfinson to expect a peaceful sot
tlemcnt. It cannot Unow what may
be the duties on any Import In nny clns
of Imports a month hence , whether Imports nr
likely to exceed export" and drnw nwny Bolder
or whether the deficit of revenue will contlmi
or what other tnxntlon will be levied. Tnllure o
the sen.tui to take nny notion upon the nnanela
measures pmptneil by tli president or tlm
twnsed by the house ntTecta unfavorably nl
bmnches of bu lneai.
Under nuch adverse clrcumstnncen It 1 * nctu
nlly encouiagUiir that shrlnkaRc In transaction
nnd rtiiultlnK commercial disasters have no
been grenler. Hut tour large fnlluies within n
day or two Indlcnte thnt the same condition
cannot continue without much embarrnssnunt.

Corn receipts were nlso literal , nnd experts

The price declined nn eighth , with accounts o
narrower demand by spinners abroad nnd de
dining prices for peed In this country. No
branch of mnnufneturc has proKresssed , fop nl
nru unavoidably wnltlnir. both for the Hcltlemen
of llnnnclnl doubts and for n demand wlilcl
does not yet appear. Cotton Koodi nro not quot

nre reiwrted In many cases , and many of the
mills Imvo been running largely In anticipation
of orders not yd receded. There Is n little
heller Inquiry for staples , with Indications thn
dealers' slocks nro running low.
Tha opening of tine nnd fancy woolens has
brought no change In prices , nnd revisions.cause *

the Security Speculation.
NEW YORK. Jnn. 17. Dullness wns the main
character of the stock speculation today , nnd , ns
usual under n similar condition , n sagging ten
dency In prices wns noted. The aggregate deal
ings did not exceed 1110,000 , a volume of
buslnesu that would In a regulation market be
recorded In a single hour or less. Of such n
market detailed nccbunt is almost superfluous ,
while the semi-stagnation illustrates the pur-
paso of the larger operators lo postpone deal
ings upon an Importnnt scnle until the political
nnd financial outloo4c Is Clearer. Should the
money continue reasonably cnsy during the com
paratively fchort Intomil before the bids for
the Government loan nro opened and the suc
cess of the loan Is demonstrated , nn Improved
condition of nffnlrs 'In Wall street Is expected
t rule , providing , of course , thnt no political
entanglements occur. In the Initial dealings the
mnrket was heavy and prices sagged throughout
the day , tha depression becoming marked In
the closing dealings.
The news of the day , nslde from the nnnounce-
ment of the call for a meeting of the nnthrncltc
coal presidents for Thursday of next week , was
calculated to operate unfavorably upon prices.
The publication of encouraging exhibits by sev
eral Important railroads for the second week
In Jnnunry also fulled to stimulate activity or
adtnncc. I ondon cnhles caino lower , nnd the
selling for thnt account , noted In this market
yesterday , was continued on n moderate scale
today. In the money nnd exchange markets no
npoclal change wns noted. The engagement of
only 11,000.000 In gold for shipment tomorrow , dc-
splto previous estimates of un outgo of from
J2.000.000 to $3OCX.000u did not elicit nny en
couragement. A temporary demand fiwm the
shorts resulted In wnenrly advance ! of 1 per cent
III the stock , to 101. . . Tlio abatement of the In
quiry for cj\erlng purposes caused n reaction
later In the day to 9914. Leather preferred wns
under continuous tiresmire nnd yielded 2)4 per
cent on sale ? to rcallzo profits ncciulng fiom
tha recent rally la thestock. . Sugar lost nbout
1 per cent , despite- . reported' slight ndvnnce In
hard grades of the ? product. The other principal
declines were in Milts' grangers , Southern pre-
feried , Baltimore . & Ohio , Lake Shore , Rubber ,
Chicago Gas and C rd gj guaranteed end tnnged
from.l to 2 % per cent the last In Conlage guar
anteed. The final "prlcei were the lowest of the
day. In the railway bond inniket prices were
fairly well maintained ; ! ! ! the -arly trading. In
the late session , how.evcr , declines erecurred ii )
sympathy with the , depression In the stook spec
ulation. Governments securities wcro quiet on
sates of J12.000. THetl\es coupon were 1'i per

subsequently were traded In nt nn Improvement

The Evening rafit's1'London financial cable
gram "say : TheioiwAstA hearty reaction today In
all the markets .wliich were running up too fast.
, The , absence , of hurilndss , together with profit
Uklne. caused n frohemlrelapse ! Norrt'of the
markets were rwilly weak , except , perhdps , Kaf
firs , and there the weakness was due to fears
of a serious labor diniculty nt the mines for some
time to come. American railroad Shares were
down'with ' the other mnikets , but the band mar
ket keeps good , which Is an encouraging sign.
Onld Is being quietly picked up here in the
open market for America , Consols were lower
today on a revival -'of rumors of a suspension
of the sinking fund. The rumor Is probably n
benr fabrication. The Paris nnd llerlln markets
wore Ilrm. The former was more active than
of late.

of the leading market * tolAy. Thev were ,
however , Inruo enough , wncn taken In con
nection wltJi a lariio prospective run for
the llrat ot , the week , to cause n btcalc In
the mutket today.
The market on fat cattle opened slow ,
with the buyers In no hurry to till orders
and talking very bearish. The reports
from Chicago generally Indicated n very
slow market , and the market here finally
settled down to n trading basis that was
nbout lOc lower than yesterday. The qual

In other words , there were n good many
desirable cattle such as aio wanted for the
dressed beef trade , though there was noth
ing fancy In the yards. While the miukot
at no time coulil bo called active , about
everything was sold In the end.
The buyers seemed Inclined to bear prices
on cows and heifers , but the demand was
pretty good and they did not succeed In
getting prices down very much on deslr-
nblo stuff. The commoner grndcu. which
were not In as eood demand , sold easier
and In some cases 510c lower. Quite n
string of western cows were sold for feeders
at prices that looked fully steady.
Stackers and feeders were In quite liberal
supply , theru being a good many western
cattle and more natives Until have been
seen here In some time. Among the latter
\\cre a good many light cattle , yearlings
and short 2-ycnr-olds. The demand was
good , at least fully cqu.il to the supply ,
there being n number of buyers In from
MJssourl and Iowa. Under the Influence of
a good , healthy demand values remained
about steady In pplte of the fact that the
receipts were larger than usual of late.
