Jan. 3 Cnconfirmed reports of an ex'fsslve Increase In the visible sup ply formed the basis of a break of l'c In the price of May wheat. There was a reaction, but the market cloved essy, with May (C off, compared with Saturdays figures. Corn is down SV'- Oats show V Ions. Provisions uncharged. The greatest strength of the wheat mar ket was at the Immediate opening. Initial quotations In Mny delivery showed a gain of j'uc at ll.lVal.ln,. The principal soit.-ce of strength lay In the, weekly sta tistics. World's shipments were S.Son.ouo bu. smaller than for the previous Week. Fur thermore, the quantity on ocean passage decreased 2.7TK.(0 bu. The demiind. how ever, was quickly satisfied, several large holders being free sellers. There was con siderable selling by houses with St Loul connections. This selling was partly at tributed to the excellent condition of the winter wheat crop, as shown In a report of a Cincinnati trade journal. Iter In the day a rumor that the visible supplies had Increased nearly 3.000.000 bu. caused a decided commotion in the pit. For a time offerings were much In excess of the demand. The result was a sharp break in prlees. May dropping to II.13'-,. Official figures, however, fnlled to confirm the sen sstionsl report, the Increase being esti mated at only 9el.0 bu. The market re covered a portion of lose in consequence of fair buying brought on by the more bullish aspect of the statistics. The undertone whs further strengthened by reports from Min neapolis stating that flour was In good de mand there. The market, however, closed eay, with May at Jl.H. Clearances of wheat and flour w-era equal to 112.500 bu. Primary receipts were 8TO.7O0 bu., compared with 2.289.000 fiti. a year ago. Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of BR2 cars, against l.ofil.cars last week and (ISO a year ago. In consequence of the bearish character of weekly statistics the corn market ex hibited considerable weakness Trading was fairly active, but offerings were too liberal for the demand. Several prominent commission houses were free sellers. The visible supply Increased 1.369,000 bu.. and world's shipments were large. Strength of wheat was an early factor. May opened a shade to V higher at 46V to 464ti'4o,c and sold off to 4414c, where It closed. Local receipts were 71 cars, .wl tit C of contract grade. ' ' The decline In corn had a depressing ef fect on the oats market, prices showing a slight loss, notwithstanding a considerable decrease In the visible supply. Trsdlng was very quiet. Msy opened a shade higher at Hlc. sold off to 2W". elosed at 3lU'ai ulHe. Local receipts were 107 cars. Considering a decline of loc In prices of hogs, the provisions market displayed mod erate firmness. The volume of business, however, wss extremely small and the prices showed only slight fluctuations. At the close Mav pork and lard were un changed at J12.S0 and I7.0."aa7.0i respec tively. Ribs were h. shade lower. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat. 59 cars; corn, 6ij cars; ostt, Ifi cars; hogs, 14.(0 head. The leading future ranged as follows: Artlcles. Open. lllgh.l Low. Close.

SECURITIES DECISION CAUSES SECOND RISE A anon nee men t that lltlaatlnn Will Re Prolonaed Indefinitely tend lp Ml Mocks nelated to Northern C ompany. NEW YORK. J.in. 3 Developnients of unexpected Importance confronted the stock market on its opening for the new years business this morning The fall of Port Arthur and the decision In the Northern Securities cases have long been awaited as vents of prime Importance hv those opei -utlng In stocks 1 he moderate etftct to day is easily explainable from the fact that these events were long anticipated. There wus some rather wide fluctuations during the morning, hut the moderate proportions of the dealings warned those sliailng in them that they were not In a large com pany and the market settbd down toward the latter part of the day to :i uclter tone. There was wme disposition to .ittrinute thla effect to a widoly heralded . event, namely, the resumption of the campaign by published udvertlscment ngalnft the pi Ices of stocks. There was not, in fact, any very palpable evidence ot the dire effects on the mnrkets by thin mornings proclamation. But there wa some dreHd of the occur rence of auch events, which had Its part In deterring operator? from active dealings. The action of the Berlin market yesterday and of the Iondon mrkt this morning was given 11s an Intimation of what might be expected from the fall of Tort Arthur. The london murket showed some positive encouragement, which was due to an as mimption that the reduction of the fort reus would tend to hasten the end of the war. Thus Insured from harm on that ac count, prices here started upwards In pur suance of the belief fii a large January de mand for securities. Active realizing met the advance and hod about wiped out the gains, when the Northern Securities decis ion wan announced. The speculative public has been educated to a belief that htigo railroad projects had been formed which were only waiting for thta decision In order to take effect and possibly change the railroad map of the country by new combinations and absorp tlon designed to effect the purposes of the Northern Securities merger in other ways. It haji been nrnumed that the refusal to continue the Injunction would have the ef fect of permitting nn Immediate distribu tion of the company's assets luid would thus precipitate the supposed alternative projects Immediately. It was promptly learned to dav that the delay in delivering the man date of the court and the stay on the sp peal which was determined upon would prolong the litigation Indefinitely. All the stocks related in any way to the Northern Securities shot up on the announcement, St. Paul touching 175-V Union Pacific llt4 and Southern Puclllc 0oV They fell back from that level and it was not until the final dealings that they were marktd up again to about the best. The sudden rise in Amal gamated Copper to above 74, with evidence of some confusion amongst the shorts In the stock, was the motive of the late rally which made the closing strong Routine newa of tlit duy waa all favorable to val ues. The pressure of railroad traffic was r.nn.tiul in I aVrflM nf CHOitf'ltV full ntotiev worked easier during the day a lid supplies were abundant. There was a broad market for bonds ot higher prices.

The trade consists almost entirely of lots for piecing nut larger purchases previously made. That high values are to be maintained on both wool and wool goods seems assured, as all the available supply In slight has been bought at high prices.

The receipts at South Omaha. Chicago and Kansas City combined nmnunted to only about 13.0no head, which shows to what extent shippers ure holding back their cattle. Not only were the receipts very light this morning, hut the quality at this point waa also wry inferior. In fact, there was not a choice load of beef steers In the yards. The market cojld not be quoted uny more than steady on the kinds of fered, with trading rather alow. Pack ers all claimed, however, to be anxious for desirable gradis. and such kinds would perhaps have sold a little stronger. The trains were very late In arriving this morning and that delayed the market to quite an extent, so that the day was well advanced before a clearance was made. There wa.- a little more life to the cow market this morning than was noticed yes terday and sales were made all th? way from barely steady to as much as a dime higher. The- market yesterday was, of course, very uneven, and the same was true today, so that some sales looked much better than others. On the average the market could not be quoted more than steady to strong. Bulls, veal calves snd stags sold to fully as good advantage as they did yesterday. There was quite a demand for stockers and feeders, and speculators picked up quite a few of the warmed up cattle of good quality at prices that looked a lit tle stronger. Anything that had not been on corn also sold to a little better advan tage where the quality was at all good. Common cattle of all kinds sold about steady. Representative sales; BEEF STEERS. No. At.

At the opening prices were generally ZWate higher than yes terday. The bulk or the sale went from 14.40 to 14 46. with a top at 34-&0- Trading was fairly active and It was not lung be fore most of the early arrivals were dis posed of, but so many nf the trains wer late that tho market was delayed to quite an t-xtunt The middle of the Market seemed to be the strongest of the day. when the prices paid were mostly He higher. Toward the close the market weakened, and about noon several loads arrived and they sold mostly at $4.40, with the choicer loads at 14 42',. In some cases packers bid as low as 14.374 for coarse, heavy hogs. Most everything changed hands shortly after being un loaded. Representative sales: No. A. Sti. W u. av. no.
