CHICAGO, Jan. 23. A sharp bear attack
nn corn, brought on by tho very weak
sasn situation unu slumps in outsiua mar
kots. sent tirlccs In nil nits slldlnir down
hill today. Corn broko 2c, whom lHc. oats
IJiC nnd pork 40c. After tho subsldonco of
mo pumcxy reeling on ncavy selling tnero
wero plight relictions. Corn registered n
hct loss of lc. May wheat V40?c and May
oats lc. Provisions closed 2fto to 2022Hc
lower.
All speculative markets wero weak, but
the extreme, weakness was In coarso grains,
corn leading In tho depression. At tho
opening this cereul seemed ripe for a break,
mnd break It did. Tho Initial Incentive was
tho extremely benrlsh tnlk about tho bot
tom belli; out of tho Kansas City cosh
market vesterdav. It was renortcd that
Kansas City houses wero hedging sales on.
me .MiiwuuKee curu unu wncn mis mantci
opened the Hiipposed weakness showed II
elf by heavy southwestern selling here.
Aluy started to Tic down nt ulTlc to
,C3iC. There whs tin almost entire absence
of buying orders, cables wcro weak and
reports mentioned a corn and oats block
udo of 1,000 cars at Kansas City. 8t. Louis
turned a prominent seller of corn and local
boars started In to pound nut tho holdings
on a prominent long professional. May
broko to C2c, u loss of 2c, but at such a
price covering was prolltable. There wcro
reports hi wo of somo corn being worked to
(lermuny and traders taking Into conMdor
ritlnn tho small estlmatn of sixty cars for
tomorrow, brought it half-hearted reaction.
May sold back to 63'4o, but closed weak,
d5lc lower, at 62?ic Receipts wero SO cars.
Wheat was nuturally weak on tho corn
depression. Hut everything elso was against
tho price, sentiment, news and general con
ditions. Statisticians' reports Indicated a
rood cron condition and favorable weather.
Traders were Inclined to tho belief that
'they Had been too eager to accept die Ht.
l.oiils strength yesterday to bolster up
lvalue. Cables were lldgcty and llnally
closed lower. Foreign reports forecasted
'good crops In Itussla and India. Outside
unnrkcts were lower nt tho ntnrt and May
- opened hero ,,4'5?ic down nt WMfflic When
corn broko May followed' after and sank
1o 73c. Reports of a ood export demand
with shipments varying from 15 to GO loads,
.helped prices late. A slight reaction sent
lay to 79Hc. but the closo was weak, 'Ml
To down, nt 784i?78Uc. I,ocal receipts were
IS ears, nono of contract grade. Minne
apolis nnd Diiluth reported .123 cars, making
V total for tho threo points of 310 cars,
.against 4bl Inst week nnd 2J0 a year ago.
P'rlmary receipts wero IH.oOo Int. . compared
with 380,000 last year. Seaboard clearances
In wheat nnd Hour equaled 360,000 hu. Tho
seaboard reported 323 cars taken for export,
' In tho oats pit tho sentiment seemed to
ibo not In get caught holding high-priced
guts. regnrdlefH of what dominating pro
fessionals might do. In lino with tho
stampede in corn, there wns a selling of
May oats and a strong attempt was made
.to rnld one' holder who Is long so much
fthnt ho is to control tho mnrkct. No oats
,cnmo from his quarter, however. Tho
ibrenk wns bad, notwithstanding. May sell
ing off l?jc to 4l7ic Somo support developed
nt tho low ilgiiro and May sold up again
,to ibc. Tho close was weak, lo down, nt
H5tic. Receipts wero 109 cars,
v Tho early feeling in provisions was
strong, following tho Influence of n good
Jiog market. On tho grain wenkness. heavy
liquidation of long stuff developed, nnd
Jirlccs eased. Tho early business was con
siderable, but Into trndo turned dull and
.Jicavy. May pork sold between $16.15 nnd
J16.00 nnd closed 20fj2214c down nt $16,33.
May lard closed 7J4c lower nt D.42'4 nnd

demand, however, was In good snapo und
buvers started out early and bid good.
strong prices for all desirable grades. That
being tno case, it am not iuko ions to
clear the nens.
There wero not very many cornfed steers
offered thlB morning and buyers had but
little, difficulty In disposing of what they
had at koou. strong prices. Tho more
desirable grades were of course In the best
demand, out still oven the commoner
grades sold freely at fully as good prices
as wero paid yestrday.
xna cow marxct was aiso active ana ino
titter grades commanded strong prices
So far as the prices paid for tho medium
kinds and canners are concerned, there
was not much chango from yesterday, but
the market was more active and prac
tically everything was out of llrst hands
In irood season.
There was very little change noticeable
In the Drlccs mild for bulls, veal calves
and stags, but still the market could safely
be quoted strong on anything showing
quality. .
Tho stocker and feeder trade was In
rather bad shape today. Speculators now
have a good many cattle on hand that
they have been unablo to sell, even though
thoy have been offering them for less than
they paid for them. ..Very few buyers havo
Dcen on tne mantei anu now uuu tno end

SHEEP Thern wnat tint n vnrv lin-iw run
of sheep and lambs hern today, but still
pacKers did not take hold with as much
lfo as thev have been ilnlnir inf Into nnd
the feeling wns weak from the Btnrt. Tho
general market could safely bo quoted n
dlmo lower, than that. Somo sales, In
fact, wcro made that looked 25c lower than
the same kinds sold for tho llrst half of
the week. Sellers wero not itt all nnxlnun
to take off that much, and as a result
tho market was slow as well as lower, and
It wns rnther lato before a clearance was
made. Tho qunllty of the offerings today
was nothing extra, so that llin ton nrleps
do not look ns high as they would If tho
quality had been better. Thero wero some
)rimo yeurilugs. novever. that sold for
$5.05.
Thero was no part cular chango n tho
feeder situation. Receipts continuo very
light und the market may ho auoteil
steady.

ADVICE FROM CARNEGIE.
To Gain Competence One Must Invest
One's Money His Own Start Due to a
Fortunate Investment in Oil Stocks.
Great Opportunities at Present
in the Oil Industry,
u-nr nonnlo nn a Balary or limited Income
to acquire a competence to ever havo mora
thnn a moro living ns a result of their
Inbor It is nbsolutely necessnry that they
IiivahI nt lrmst a nnrtlon of their savings.
or surplus, whatovor the amount may be.
This Is tno History oi an our wvniiny
mnn TIMh Ir till. IldvICO Itlvell ll.V SUCh
successful men as Carncglo (given In a
speech, to railroad mon recently In Now
York), Rockefeller, Flnglcr, Payne, Hanna
and many others.
Theso men started without wealth
worked for n living ns millions nro doing
today but they saved pnrt of their earn
ings, nnd by fortunato Investment of tho
money saved laid tho foundations of their
subsequent millions and power.
Hlirnlllcnntlv. too. hundreds of America's
rich men gained their wealth by Invest
ments In oil. Thirty years ngo John D.
Rockefeller wns a poor clork today ho Is
tho richest man In tho world. At a tlmo
when conditions In the oil Industry wero
very similar to those that exist now, ho
saw the future of oil nnd bought of stocks
nnd lnnds to his cntlro financial ability.
Tho Immense production of oil that axlsts
In this country today means that tho fuel
of tho future is hero. Tho problem of got
tlng it to mnrkct is being worked out by
tho big companies, and wlion that Is com
pleted there will follow tho greatest boom
In nil stocks In tho history of tho country.
Then tho Investor In oil stocks today will
f;et his money back ten, twenty and an
lundrcd fold, as Investors in oil stocks In
tho pnst havo done.
