The esetern holders of the May seem ( tent to let the mrk t drift fur the present i r thev are unable tn support it. Chicago la relatively the highest maiket, mid for tht reason It has been difficult to keep thr price up there. Murh slllng has been go ing on for some days in Minneapolis and In Hi I.uile, arid It I thought H IlKely In some unarters Hits was not hy lorn I longs, hut by the nsternr rs, who have been disposing of th'lr wheat In those markets and hold ing Chicago steady. The position seemed k this morning The opening was at II 15, thin being ',0 under the cIokc of Mnnda. The high point was 81.15V Sev ersl time before noon the market reached 11.15, hut did not go below It. The market It now off 2c from the high point reiirhed last weak and a reaction may he flue. Liver pool la down ,c. Ht. Louis Monday closed the May Sc under Chicago, whereas a week ago It was 3c over Chicago closed only under Minneapolis. SVju under New York and 3V under Toledo. Reports taken from l.itv mills, elevators and stations In Kansas. Nehraska and iklahoma show these houses have now 2$ per cent less wheat than they had at tliia time last year. The amount then was flHo.fmn and now It seems to be a.(ifV. The Kansas millers seem to have antiol imted the shortage, for their stocks now art only 3").ihi0 under what they had hist ear. Rut theso stocks will ernhie them to run full time for only a little over a month. In Kansas it Ih estimated 15 per cent of the main Is yet In farmers' hands and In Nebraska 2.1 pfr cent. There si ems to be 14.QMn,iU) less In Kansaa City terri tory than there was at this period last year. Mexico reports a scarcity of whtat and flour, owing to the Insufficiency of the crop. The price Is going up sharply. It Is auld. and practically all the wheat Is In the hands of the mill. rs. This will be exhausted, however, hy th" end of the month. The question Is raised: "Will the duty from the t'nlted States he discon tinued during the shortage?" ot nine millers recently meeting In Chicago seven are reported to have said they had twice the flour on hand they did at this time laat year. Bradstreet's shows a decrease In wheat of S.fiOT.Oft). This is only about half of the decrease for the preceding week, which waa ,3!if.(Hi, but quite close to the decrease for the same week of hist year, that being 3.9i,A The corn market la apparently to have the Interest of a fight between the Patten and Armour contingents. I'atten la known to be long In the corn and has been giving tba market open support on the weak spots. Armour, on the contrary. Is supposed o ha back of much of the selling which has been going on lately and to be helping tha decline. The corn receipt In the weat continue to he very light and If the movement from the farms la not more liberal within two weeks the stocks at the seaboard will bo very much reduced. Bradstreet's shows an Increase for the week of 1..127.mi. This Is very uniform with the Increase for the preceding week, which was 1.333.(Xi(. For the same period last year, Iiowever, the stocks declined 14.0nft. v The decline In oats for the week Is 1.423.uno.

CHICAGO, Jan. 17-Inerensed ehlpments from Argentina had a debilitating effect on efforts to advance the price ot wheat lure today. At the close wheat for May delivery was off v. oats are up 4ti4c; corn and provisions are practically un changed. Tho wheat market had a weak under tone throughout the entire session. Initial quotations oti Mav were off r to VtdHc at 11.14 to II 15-Vd 1.154c. Scattered selling hy commission houses and pit traders was the Immediate cause of the opening de cline. The chief factor responsible for the selling pressure was a brfak of almost a P nny In the price of wheat at Liverpool. The weaknesa of the English market wa in turn said to be due to cheaper Argentina offerings. Indicating an Increase In shlp menta from that country. After the first rush of selling had subsided the market here became somewhat firmer. The fact that northwest receipts still continue to ar rive In decreaaed quantities had a ten dency to check the general desire to sell. Total primary receipts also were much smaller than for the corresponding day a year ago and thle had a slightly bullish ef fect. Following fair buying by the leader of the bulls pit traders made moderate pur chaser resulting In May advancing tn ll.lo'a) 1 lf. Weakness of cash wheat at all the. principal centers, however, had a depres sing influence on speculative trading, and the market soon sagged off again. The close tu easy, with May at 11 lfV Clear ances of wheat and flour were equal to i3.i bu. World's visible supply as shown bv Bradstreet's. showed a decrease of S.irni, bu. i'rimarr receipts were 4!.'Xi0 bu., compared with 29.0f) hn. a year ago. Min neapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported re ceipts of 374 cars, against 273 cars last week and 470 cars a year ago. In sympathy with lower prices at IJver sol the corn market was rather sy early In the session, with considerable selling by commission houses. The con tinued small movement, however, brought out a fair demand from shorts resulting In a firmer undertone during the latter part of the session. Small estimated receipts for tomorrow were a late bullish factor. May opened a shade to 4o lower, at 44)iC to 4S'g44c. sold up to 4AC, and closed at 44144Jc. Iical receipts were 415 cars, hone of contract grade. A decrease of (hs5,0CS bu. In local stocks for the week had a strengthening effect on the oats market. Elevator interests were f;ood sellers early, with cash houses the cst buyers. During the Intter part of the day trading was largely or a scalping char acter. May opened unchanged to 'c lower at JO'iic to Sic, sold up to 3Hc and closed at Sl4fi31'c. Local receipts were 12o cars. Provisions were dull and a shade, easier. Continued heavy receipts of hogs caused a weaker opening with commission houses selling freely. A steadier tone developed on fair buying by pit traders. At the close May pork was off 24 at 112.70. lrd and ribs weer each unchanged at Si.874 and H. 724. Estimated recelpta for tomorrow: Wheat, 2ti cars; corn, 14X cars; oats, 38 cars; hogs, 4K.004) head.

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS reaturet of Strength in the Market An Varied by Soft Epoti. SLUMPAGE IN VOLUME Of THE DEALINGS Omaha Placed nn a een Per (eat DM Mend Haals anil Advanre Mnelren i-o-nta Market , Weak anil loner. NEW YORK. Jan. 17-There were feat ures of strenarth lo today's stok market, but they wtre varied hy soft spots here and there. On the. whole the market showed the effect of the large distribution of speculative holdings which was eff ted on the opening bulge of the week yester day. There waa decided shrinkage In the volume of the dealings along with the hes itating and Irregular tone which was de veloped. The seeming culmination of the rle In t'nlnn Pacific was of a sentimental effect on the whole list, but showed clearly the want of the stimulating Influence which the stock has exercised for sev eral daye past. The serving of formal no tice of the Intention of the contesting In terests to apply for a writ of certorarl to review the opinion In favor of the North ern Securities company was understood to have the power of a. stay on any distribu tion of the assets of that company pend ing the final derision of the I'nlted States supreme court. This served ns a discour agement to the rumors which have been Industriously circulated, that a compro mise, a prompt distribution of Northern Securitlse assets and the comprehensive readjustment of railroad relations on the whole transcontinental field would tie an nounced at an early date. 1'nlon Pacific rose steady over last night's level several times, but It was con stantly affected hy the feeling of the de mand In the efforts to resllxe. The weak ness of Amalgamated Copper also bad a sentimental Influence, the more so aa the price of the metal was further advanced and reports continued persistent of an In tended Incre.ise In the rllvldind rate. Divi dend Increases and prospects played a con siderable part In the day s market. The placing of Chicago, St. Paul. Minneapolis A Omaha on a V per cent dividend basis caused a rapid rlst- of 111 points In that stock and removed the hopes of Increased disbursements on some other Issues. Kan Ma & Texas preferred. Chesapeake A. Ohio and American Srmltlng were manifestly affected hy such hes. Reading was easily the center of Interest In the market and there was no specific news to adjust Its fresh advnnce. The large amounts of (his stock which have hn taken out of the market to effect the distribution of Its control among other rail roads has left the floating supply so small that It responds readily to operations de signed to move the price. For this rea son It has breome a favorite with the oper ators who desire to make an effect on speculative sentiment. It proved by no means equal, however, to 1'nlon Pacific as an Instrument for that purpose. The outelde market held Its recent large share of attention today, although actively shifted from Northern Securities Into In ternational Mercantile Marine, which. to gether with Northern Securities, was one of the late creations In tho period of whole sale output of new securities, which was too late to get through its preliminary stage In the outside market and make Its entry on the stock exchange Itself. A vio lent break in the new I'nited Stutes Ship building stocks also brought into renewed notice an oil episode In the outside mar ket. Nothing developed to explain either movement. Prices on tho stock exchange faded away In the latter purt of the day and the closing was weak and generally slightly below Inst nights level. Honda were steady ou a good demand.

Trading was not par ticularly brisk, but still the cattle kept moving toward the scales and the bulk was disposed of at a reasonably early hour. Anything desirable In the way of beef ateers Bold right around steady prices. Packers, though, were Inclined to be a little bearish and In some cases cattle had to sell a shade easier, but aa a rule the kinds that suited puckers brought right around steady prices. As high us $5.25 was paid for a big string of pretty good catt'e. Warmed up and common cattle were reglected, more or less, but Hill the prices paid did not show much change from yesterday. The demand for the better grades of cows nnd hellers waa brisk this moruing und a little stronger prices were paid. In fact, some sales were us much as a dime hlghtr. Owing to the liberal demand for such kinds, the more desirable grades were soon disposed of. The common to medium cattle were not as active as the better grades, hut they sold at generally ste.ady prices without much trouble. Bulls, veal calves and stags also sold In Just about the same notches they did yesterduy. The demand for stockers and feeders was Just about equal to the supply, and In case of desirable heavy cattle It was a little In excess of offerings. The market nn light and medium cattle could be quoted steady, with choice heavies strong. Representative sales: BKEF STEERS. No. Av. Pr. No. Av.
