in b factorM la nn advanca In wheat to
day, January closln a over yesterday.
December corn closed ic lilKlier and May
with a gain of U0Vc Provisions nt tho
closo wero higher.
Wheat found a firm nnd somowhat
broader mnrknt savo for a dcj?ron of easi
ness at tho opening on unresponslvo Liv
erpool cnhlcs. Jnnuary opened Uo lower at
70o to 70ic On buying by St, Louis Inter
ests tho market steadied. A Rosnrlo cable
announcing danmgo to tho Argentina crop
by hnll nlso II it "red In holding tho market
Later corn strength, tho belief that Urad
atrcets'n world's visible would show a de
creaso of 3,000.fi00 bit. nnd tho reported clos
ing of navigation on the Sea of Azov caused
a sharp demand. Shorts covered freely on
tho ndvnnco and January rare to 1lc.
Against tho prlco wero liberal northwest re
ceipts, a continuation of tho heavy south
western movement and tho luck of wish
demand, but in splto of these facts the
market held strong and January closed ?c

and nearly all of this. It Is stated, lias
found an eastern market. Receipts show
fibout 1 per cent of contract grade. Phil
ips was credited with taking In MO.ono
bu. of December during tho day. Thcro Is
llttlo old corn in tho country, traders say,
and the. roads make It dllllcult to get that
to market. Unfavorable weather and
trcngth of foreign markets were factors In
tho market. December sold between 36a
and 37Ho nnd closed ic over yesterday at

professional avocation stock traders tiro
always trying to discount what they ex-

pointed. Today was no exception. Action
on tho quarterly dividend has been looked
for at any time for several days past and
tho "news" us to what tho dividend would
bo hns varied all the way from an Increase
In tho regular rato from li to 2 per cent
and up, to the regular 14 and an extra dis
bursement of 2 per cent. Tho speculation
has gono on right merrily on that basis.
'1 ho prlco was run up to U"U this morning
when tho Intimation was disseminated that
no action would bo taken on tho dividend
;oay. consequently tho announcement u
llttlo later that the directors had met nt
tho private residence of the president of
tllO comnanv nnd ilir1nrl n ,l vl,l,,n,l nf
only lji per cent camo llko a bombshell
upon tno speculative contingent.
In their rush to save losses they forced
tho price down by rapid stages, meeting
no support except from professional shorts
on tho way down. Tho Block touched 127U
In tho last hour, which was 8 full points
below tho highest, and closed with a net
loss of 6. Tho violent slump In this stock
had n depressing Influence on tho wliolo
market, but tho movement clsowhcro at no

weakness, whllo partly due to sympathy
with tho violent decline In Sugnr, was un
doubtedly based for tho most part on
nnxloty as to tho ability of tho money
market to carry speculative accounts snfely
over tho new year.
Thero was no ovldenco that liquidation
was forced today, but a spirit of caution
prevailed and Induced measures to avoid
anything llko forced liquidation In view of
argo advances In prices which tho market
has enjoyed.
Owing to tho renewed movement of cur
rency to the Interior nnd tho present low
level of pension disbursements tho sub
treasury has nlready taken up from tho
money market nearly $3,000,000 since Fri
day. Today's transfers to tho interior,
which went to Now Orleans, were $400,000,
compnred with $550,000 yesterday. Another
notlconb'.o feature of the situation Is tho
steadiness of sterling exchange In splto of
tho Ilrmness of tho local monoy market
and tho notably easier rates In London
nnd Berlin. Tho foreign selling of oir se-
umiuL-3, iviiiun was continued today to tllo
oxtent of about 25.000 shares. Is supposed
to account for this. Tho opinion Ib ex
pressed by soma foreign authorities that
this process has been carried so fnr as to
leavo New York without futuro power to
draw gold from Europenn sources. In this
connection today's report of n further
shipment from Australia to San Francisco
of $1,500,000 In gold has somo slgnltlcunce.

SHEEP Thero was a fair supply of sheep
hero today and ns packers wero all good
buyers the market ruled uctlvo nnd a little
stronger. Wethers sold as high as $4.10.
Considering the iiunllty of tho offerings
ns a wholo tho general mnrket looked a
dlmo higher today than It was at tho rlose
of last week. Everything ut nil deslrnblo
was sold out early at very satisfactory
prices. Fat lambs wero also In good de
mand and as high. as J5.25 wus paid for a
string weighing 72 pounds.
The feeder market did not show much
change today, as tho demand seemed to
be sufficient to take what was offered at
Just about Bteady prices. Oood stulT sells
rapidly, but the less deslrablo grades are
of course neglected.
