Close,
CHICAGO, Jnn. IS. The grain pita went
ttnargln mail today. Ever slnco tho raid
.on I'hllllps last Monday broker havo been
demanding murclna to tho limit, for fear
they might bo caught In other fnllurrs.
Humors that several firms were In dirt)
straits wero circulated lato yesterday on
tho ourti, noma nny with n vlow to di
' pressing nrlccs. Ileum seized Uipso rumors
us cudgels to heat down the weaklings mid
succeeded In raiding prices. Dulls, how
nver. Jumped ut tho opportunity to buy In
nt tho low prices and with heavy covering
by tho shorts supported the market to a
fairly steady close. Miiy wheat closed un
changed, May corn i,u lower and May
oats Via down. 1'rovlslonn tost a tdindo to
20c.
Wheat was exceedingly nervous and er
ratic most of tho session, Tho opening
was badly depressed on yesterday's curb
wenkness nnd lower cables, May opened
excited, Uftc lower, nt &0c to 79'ic. Heavy
liquidation was occasioned by a general
cull for Increased margins. Moro stuff
was thrown out than could be readily
absorbed and tho pit curly ruled very
weak. But as no failures wero reported
at tho opotilng, u better feeling begun to
spring up und on liberal buying prices
advanced to kOtec ugaln. Just beforo clear
ing houso rumors wero rlfo ngaln that sev
eral houses would not be able to settle
and selling orders came, from the country
with a rush. Bearn pounded hard and the
result of tho commission houxu raid was a
quick drop to 78Tc. Tho otttsldo markets
wero also depressed, confidence- for the
tlmo seemed lost and Liverpool declined
steadily. Everything Indicated a further
demoralized condition of this pit, when
buying at theso low prices set In on all
hands. May struggled bravely agultist thp
concerted bear nctlon nnd gradually milled
to last night's closing price. Confidence
wiw restored whon tho clearing house re
ported all houses settled anil May closed
steady, unchanged at SO'.ic. Ixcul receipts
wero 41 cars. Minneapolis nnd Duluth re
ported 410 cars, making a, total for the
thrco points of 4S1 cars, against 523 last
week and 371 a year ago. Primary receipts
wero B21.00O bu., compurcd with 663,(00 last
year. Seaboard clearances In wheat and
flour equalled 357,000 bu.
Corn was demoralized under tho con
tinued liquidation of outside longs. Tho
southwest wa tho chief source of selling.
Cables wero lower and tho early weakness
from false rumors brouRht a Jagged open
ing, HlHo lower, at fi3Uff62c. Nearly
every houso continued to mako heavy culls
for margins anil discouraged holders. On
tho break uctlvo covering by shorts nnd
somo long buying Influenced a fair rally,
May selling to Its top prlco of 63Q62c.
"When whent broko a second tlmo corn
sagged badly to f!2V4c. As In wheat, thero
was a revival of confldonco, but tho de
pression wa too much to overcome by tho
lato demand. Tho cash market was slow
nd May closed weak, ftc lower, nt 63Uc.
Itecclpts wero 115 cars.
Oats shared in a measure the panicky
feeling In corn. Trndo was not heavy, tho
Interest In tho other pits detracting from
this. Outside liquidation depressed prices
and May opened nio lower nt 4IV4tf4ISc.
Tho wheat break pushed this option down
. to 43Ue, but professional support and short
covering brought a rally to tho higher
opening prlco. May closed fairly stoady,
tfc lower, nt Wtic Receipts wero 177 cars.
Provisions ruled lower, following grains.
Tho opcnlngwns badly depressed nnd felt
tho Influenco of a poor hog market at tho
yards. Commission houses sold liberally
nnd price woro only supported by con
pldorablo buying by packers. May pork
closed between J1G.M) nnd $16.974 and closed
20o lower nt $u;.i7H. May lard touched
J9.67& and closed 24o lower nt 19.85, and
May ribs closed a shndo lower nt $S.fi0.
Estimated rccelptH for tomorrow: Wheat,'
25 cars; com, SO cars; oats, 130 cars; hogs,
31.000 head.

ScIIIiik U Very l.lKht nnd Mnrkct In
SIiikrIsIi All Dny.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The strength
which developed In yesterday's stock mar
ket failed to porsltt today. With the urg
ent demand from the shorts satisfied, tho
buying became sympathetic. Tho selling
wns very light, but wus not well ubsorbed
and the market moved In 11 sluggish und
Irregular wiy nil day. (Tho rather ncuto
weakness which wns manifest earlier In
tho week was not renewed and thero
was somo appearance of support on the
declines. This and the positive, strength of
a few stocks In tho list steadied the tono
after declines hud reached considerable
figures and resulted In recoveries. The
guncrul level of prices did not get fur
from last night's level on tho recovery
and tho market bucamo Irregular again at
tho closing. Thero Is an element among
stock operators which holds tho theory
that largo reserves of cupltal nre In the
hands ot Investors ready to flow Into se
curities the moment tho downward course
of prices Is seen to havo gone far enough.
This class hoped that the support af
forded tho market yesterday would re
solvo tho doubts of tho owners of this
waiting capital, and that It would flow
Into tho stock market, but tho commis
sion houses this morning failed to reflect
nny notable Increase In their orders for
execution. Tho opening advance quickly
came to a standstill. Sharp weakness In
Manhattan helped the reactionary tone,
that stock dropping during tho morning
to 13174. Speculators In the stock hnvo
been fed with the hope that an arrange
ment for nn interchange of traffic, with
the New York Central was Impending as
a consequence of the disaster In the Park
avenue tunnel. As yesterday's statement
by tho New York Central directors of
their pluns for terminal Improvements
travo no corroboration to tho reported
plan for interchange with Manhattan, that
stock was sold freely by tho speculators.
There wus much discussion In 11 gcncrul
way of the recent new bond and stock
Issues by various railroad companies nnd
tho effect of this discussion was unfn'or
ablo to speculation. Recent heavy out
lays by railroad companies from tho largo
current profits wero btipposcd to be a fore
stallmcnt of necessary changes for bettor-'
ments and to promise future curtnllment
of expenses nnd tho consequent mainten
ance of net prollt In future periods of less
prosperity. Tho current tendency to In
crease capital Issues has disturbed this
feeling or security over tho future. Tho
process of piling up reserves In tho New
York banks which seems to havo gained
much headway during tho week, failed
entirely to stimulate speculation.
The money market continued easy nnd
sterling exchango showed no advance. Tho
mnlntcnco by tne Bank of Englnud of Its
4 per cent discount rato may bo regarded
as a fair notice of Its Intention to attempt
to lift tho open mnrket rate. Tho bank's
reserve Is very utrong and the market
Is practically freo of Indebtedness to the
Institution, which would prompt Its gov
ernors In their capacity as private bank
ers to lower tho rato and secure business,
but In their Hcml-nubltc ennucttv nnd In
looking to tho government loan It may be
Incumbent on them to take mensurcs to
attract foreign h'old to the English money
market. Thero wns somo special strength
In toduy's market by southwestern railroad
stocks, notably In the St. Louis Southwcst
erns, tho St. Louis & San Francisco and
tho Texas & Pacific stocks. Sugur also
showed strength.

CATTIJ2 Receipts of entile were heavier
today than anticipated, and as 11 result
buyers started In from the beginning to
uuy their supplies for less money than
they did yesterduy. In some cases they
succeeded while In others they did not, so
uiui mo murKei on 1111 grades, uoin good
nnd bad. wus rather uneven. Another
beur fcuturc wns tho reports from Chicago
showing u decline In prices nt that point
on ull but thu very best grudes, amount
ing to 6 10c. Tho market wus not very
active here, but still tho bulk of thu
offerings was out of first hands In fairly
good season.
Tho market on cornfed steers could be
quoted all the way from steady to a dime
lower. The decline wus not contlned to
nny one grade, but was uneven on nil
Kiuus. liuyers tried to uuy uvcrytning
lower, but in a good many Instances they
paid steady prices for what they got.
They seemed to be anxlouB tor cattle, and
the more desirable grades changed hands
quite rapidly, but conditions were against
seiiers anu in a goou many ensos tney
had to shade prices.
The cow market was also uneven. The
better grades sold at Just nbout steady
prices and tho medium and can hers sold
steady to u dime lower, liuyers tried to
pound the market, but they evidently
wanted what was offered, ana ns a result
they had to pay steady prices In a good
many cases.
Tho feeling on bulls wns also rather
weak except whero tho quultty was very
good, and the 'uamo was true ot stags.
eul calves sold In Just about yesterday's
notches.
There were very few stockcrs and feed
era on sale this morning and anything
good sold at Just about steady prices.
Tho common kinds, however, wero neg
lected and hard to move, tho same an Is
generally tho case. Representative sales:

HOGS There was a liberal run of hogs
hero tcdny and ns nil other markets were
quoted lower prices hero took a drop. The
general mnrket could safely be quoted fully
10c lower on ull but tho-best heavyweights
nnd they sold mostly steady to 5c lower.
Tho quality nnd weight of the hos hero
today was much better than yesterday, so
that tho market on paper dors not show
ns much of a decline ns It would It tho
quality was the Bume aa It was yesterday.
Tho better weight hogs sold largely from
$6.25 to $6.60. Medium weights sold mostly
from $6.10 to $6.25 nnd the lighter loads
went from $6.10 down. It wus not what
would bo called an actlvo market, but still
the bulk of tho offerings was disposed of
In fulrly good season. Representative sales:

tho only weakness vlslblo today was on
