The liberal Argentine shipments nr.il crop
.conditions . In that country were ( he main
factors In depressing wheat , thn market
barely holding Its own , though It had strong
corn and provisions market for near neigh
bors. The decline nt Liverpool In the fnce
of the ndvnnce here yesterday wns a dls-
nppolntment to the bulls and encournged
telling. At one time a little l > iiyln by
Fhorts wns caused by stories of n somewhat -
what better cash dcmond nnd Improved
Inquiry for export Hour. Hut this did not
last. The volume of busulnts was wmnll

In the pit nnd some Improvement In the
commission business. Aside from a bit of
uneasiness felt at the opening lit sympathy
with wheat the tcellng was llrm through
out. The main consideration on the buying
side was the small country offerings nnd
the poor weather for movement , with the
ulrcnglh of provisions a contributory fac
tor. The volume of trade was not large.
There win consldornmile talk of "fi-eders
going wild over corn" and It was generally
reporled Umt Hie demand from this source
was backed with more templing prices than
fthlppera have been offering. Herolpts here
were 415 cars. May ranged irom " ! ' , ic to

NEW YORK , Jan. 12. The opening tnles
of Sucnr nffordod convincing evidence thnt
Us friends had rallied to Its support and
were prepared to conical Hie progress
which the hears have made In cutting down
Its prce. ! Very heavy blocks were thrown
upon the market nt the opening , but the
quotation wns lifted from 113 to HI on run
ning snles In the llrst transactions of the
dny. The opening price was thp lowest.
After the stock cot nboVc Inst night's level
the heart , renewed their efforts lo depress
It again , but without success. The reilst-
mice shown by Hie stock caused uneasiness
In the ranks of the unwieldy short Interest
nnd they stnrted to cover. They cirrled
the stock up to US. ne.ir which It closed.
There was no further sign of thp acute
weakness which \\as shown yesterday by
the local traction stocks nnd Tobacco ,
which was said to be due to the closing out
of an embarrassed account. 'Phe. o stocks
were under pressure during the mornltii ? ,
but they responded lo the recovery In Sugar
and late general slrcngth In the market and
lose vigorously nbove ln. t night's level. The
relaxation of the presume on Sugar played
no small part In the general strength of
thu market. Railroads advalnod nl the
opening In sympathy with strength abroad ,
but they were not enibarras'cd by demor
alization In the speolnltle ? nml so gained
ftrpngth ns the day progressed. All the
prominent stocks rose from 1 lo 2olii's '
over last night's level and closed strong at
the top. Home very heavy blocks of Haiti-
more .t Ohio were taken on In the late deal
ings by the circulation of rumors of approaching
preaching dividend declarations.
The market broadened out notably In the
Inlp dealings on Ihe Improvemenl In the seti-
llmcml rif the foreign financial circles and
expectation of a slro'ic bank statement.
The Hank of Germany followed Ihe other
European government banks today ny re
ducing Its minimum dls.-ount rnte from 7 to
6 per cent and the rapid downward course
of prtvnlo dlscoiinl rales In London gave
confidence In sllll further reductions In Iho
bank rales. London also look n sanguine
view of Ihe advantages of General Huller's
new position on the Tugela river. The buyIng -
Ing for London account was sulliclent to
cnuse a sharp break In sterling exchange
rates nil around.
'Money ' was In abundant supply and rates
for time loans were shaded to 5 > ; ior cent on
railroad collateral. Call loans fell to 3 per
cent. Subtrensury operations had yielded
to iho bank's $3.II3UOO up lo Tluir. hiy
night. The net gain of the banks on the
regular export movement with the Interior
U estimated at about the same amount.
This does not take net aunt of receipts by
registered mall , which are reported to have
been on n large scale. From these , amounts
must be deducted last Saturday's gold ex
ports , ns well as $1,000,000 In gold which
went to South America today. The net gnln
by banks on nil accounts Is ilgurcd at nbout
$4.000,01)0.
The bond market continued dull , but was
strong ; 'total sales , pnr value , $2,193,000 ;
United Slnles 3s , registered , declined ' , & ,
but the 5s advanced ' * In the bid price.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
flnnnclul cablegram says : The markets here
were exceedingly quiet today. There was
no pronounced buying anywhere , but a
cheerful tone pervaded all quarters , Induced
by the reduction of thy German bank rate
from 7 to 6 per cent nnd Ihe olllcinl an
nouncement that General Buller had seized
Potgleter's drllt on the Tugela. A rise In
consols of \ < i point was symtomaUc of the
general feeling. Americans were assisted
further by n rumor thnt n large Dutch op
erator , who had 'been a heavy bear In mines
and Americans , had closed his commitments
for the decline and turned bull , presumably
on Information from Boer sources. New
York sales somewhat spoiled the effect of
this : but Baltimore & Ohio securities nnd
Loulslvlle & Nashville sto.-k remained In
demand. Berlin bought n few Americans
und Canadian Pacifies.
The iPnrls mnrkrt wns llrm In lone. The
bank botighl .CC3.COO In German coin nnd nn-
clher 1'JOOCO was "earmarked" for Iho In
dian currency. The Indian council again
raised Iho rate on telegraph transfers , but
there Is no demand yet In India for bullion.
'Money remained easy at yesterday's rate ,
but bills were hard. Foreign exchange
rales were quoted as follows : Paris , 25.22 ;

CATTL13 There were really not enough
entile In sight to make any kind of a tesl
of Ihe market. Of the few loads reported
In the yards there were six lends direct to
packers , bought for them on the Knnsns
City market. T.here were n few lends of
boot steers , the most of them common
warmed-up or half-fat entile. The market
on fat catlle could hardly bo quoted other
wise than steady to strong , but slow , for
the reason that there was not enough In
sight to nrouse Interest of buyers. One
bunch of choice eornfcd steers , the beH
seen In these yards for some time , while-
face : ! , brought J6.2"i.
Cows nnd heifers were In pretty good de-
mnnd and sold at steady to strong prices.
In the middle of the week the cow stuff
sold a. little lower , hut It Is now selling
about where it did on Monday , so that for
the week there has been very little ch.inup.
Hulls , calves , etc. . were very scarce today.
Not enough stockers or feeders were on
sale to mnke any test of the market or
establish quotations. Speculators still had
a few cattle on hand. The few entile In
( irst hands sold In nboul the same notches
as yesterday. Hepresentnllve sales :

HOGS The upward course of the market
wns continued todny. The mnrknt opened
6f7V4c | higher , and though sellers wore very
bullish nnd In consequence not very quick
to tell , the market was fairly active nt the
advance , PO thnt the most of Ihe hogs
changed hands In good season. Good loads
of mixed hogs Hold-very largely at $ l.47'Af ?
4.50. with some choice heavy loads at $4.5. .
H wns. viewed from n seller's standpoint , n
very good market and entirely satisfactory
In nil respects. Buyers- evidently want the
boss.
So fnr this wonk the market has made an
advance of close to 15c nnd the market Is
now 25fi30- higher than It was the first
day of the year. It will bo noted from Die
table of average Prices' that hogs nre now
nt the. highest point touched at this season
of the yenr since 1591. Representative silcs :

market Is llrmor. Tile packers accepted a
decline of ' 4e on practically all sections on
the list , since which there have been liberal
transactions and a steady tone. The hides
now offered uro In poor condition. The
strength of the situation IH evidenced by
the ntubborness with which the quotations
are upheld. 'Hr.imlrd ' hides are In nmall
supply and natives arc hold strong becnUBc
of the foreign demand for military harness ,

There was n run on the 1'ortlnnd ( iMe. )
Savings Iwnk itin other day. The depositors
drew out , it Is underatosd , between $40,000
nnd $50,000. It Is Bald that the scare orig
inated In n practical Joko. Hecalllng the
bank failures itn other cities a young man
wenit Into a public place where a number
of people had gathered and said to n friend ,
"Did you hear the news about the 1'ortland
Savings bank ? "
"No , " wntt the reply.
"It closed Its doors at 3 this afternoon , "
Bald the Joker nnd walked out.
Nobody stopped ( o think 'that ' It did ( hat
every day. 'Hut ' * ho story spread. There
had been previously vague reports that
Bomo Portland bank had a heavy deposit In
a suspended Now York bank nnd the story
vas enough to set depositors wild.
While the bank bad a , largo amount of
money on hand It failed lo appreciate what
was coming. One woman took J2.000 In
gold and laicr salil : "I don't know what I
am going to do with this money. "
The clcrkB worked hard. There was a
great crowd and the money was paid out as
rapidly ns It could be counted. Nobody pro-
tcnte'l , oven If paid in allver , the crowd hav
ing but a single thought , to get money out
of that bank
ti9 !
bauk nd then talked to the depositors.
Some wr-nt away , nccor ilnR his statement
'that ' tlio bntlk wan all right , while o-'iera
demanded thrlr money nnd got It.
The crowd nlmont obstructed travil.
stretching tip nnd down KxUiango street
for n block. With every momer. t mnfcrs
grew worse and t last It seemed ns If nil
iho smaller depositors hnil gone crazy. I ito
In the afternoon the bank decided I ? de
mand Icgnl notice on all sums over MOO.
