Receipts of both winter end spring wheat have 1n rressrd nine the opening of the new year and stotaire at all receiving points Is full and rash markela havo become soft and on the decline. other exporting countries are supplying Europe with all the wheat needed and Jut now the flood of new wheal has started from soulh of Ihe enustor. These are tha conditions which nave upset the null amp.lgn and forced values to lireak. Horn reaction at times may oc cur but. on the whole, conditions do not warrant any steadv advance until a much better rash demand makes a disposition for a large accumulation of wheat stocks. Tha Intu strenKth and stubbornness In corn has finally developed unexpected weakness due to' the break In wheat and partly because the movement to primary markets keens heavy with no adequate shipping demand to offset the stock ae ciimiilations. About the only merit corn ha Is lis bit feedlnir value. Primary wheat receipts were PsT.OnO bush els and shipments were SlIVOiO bushels. s-alnst receipts last year of 7N0.O0 bushels and shipments of Snj.oOO bushels.

CHICAGO. Jan. 31. Speculators caused a slight advance In wheat today through bu) lug for a rally, which they asserted was due to follow the recant 7-cent decline. The market closed steady at a net (galn of a shade to '(-. Corn finished Uc to Sc up, oats off Vic to He -nl provlslona to 17xc down, except that in January pork a month end squeeze put up the price $2 a barrel and for rlba dO oents. The wheat market waa a nervous, but narrow affair from the start. The bull hkIh received aid from tha fact that prim ary receipts were lighter. There was also taik of Hessian fly in Illinois. On behalf of the bears, it was urged that the west and ihe southwest were burdened with cash wheat, both Omaha and Kansas City having sold considerable No. 2 hard to come to Chicago. Friends of higher prices, however, derived aatlsfaction from an unexpected decrease in tha world'! available supply. For the May delivery fluctuations during the session ran from fc.Nc to W40 with the cloue W,-c up at W. Selling lor accounts led to a little re action. The close was steady with May at !. a net gain of wnuc. Corn waa strengthened by an authoritative estimate reducing the Argentine surplus K.Oiio,i0 bushels. May ranged between 4:i'S9n:'c and IfS'li'. closing firm at 4!o ; a net rise of c. Cash corn waa steady. No. 2 yellow finished at 47(u47'c. The fact that country sales and con signments were smaller helped sustain the market. The close was firm with May Vc pet higher at 49V:. Oals were weak on account of big re ceipts. High snd low polnta for May were 34c and J3',c, with last salea Vdfio net lower at 33vjj!Bc. A small open Interest produced flurries In January pork, and ribs, the outcome being an ad Nance of $2 in one ca.se and W cenls in another.

SHOWS EXISTING CONFIDENCE Karalaaa of t ailed Stales Steel Cor porallnaj for Year Make KWTer able Comparison with Pre vious Years. NKW YORK. Jan. .11 The financial com munity was Intel ested chiefly today In tlie announcement that the Hsrrlman com panies would expend $7fi.0dO.0iO In the Im provement of that system In completing the double tracking of the lines from the Missouri river to Han Francisco and in double tracking portions of the Oregon Short Line. The decision of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific managements to under take so Important a project at this time was accepted as a significant expression of confidence In present and prospective conditions. The Hsrrlman project and the quarterly report of the United State Steel corpora tion which came out after the close of the market were the noteworthy features of the day. The statement of the steel cor poration for the final quarter of 1910 shows earnings of $26,991,000. with net earnings of $2O,4.;2.000. At first the statement would seem dis appointing. In that the gross showing for the month was several millions below ex liectatlons, this being partly due to the low returns for the last month of the year. Earnings for the year, however, ag gregate $141,144,000, making a very favor able comparison with those of 1WI9 and IMS. which war $131,491,000 and $81,845,000, respectively. Htrength of the Hill stocks was asso ciated with developments of a favorable nature in the affairs of that system, in cluding the practical completion of the subsidiary line in Washington and Ore gon, owned Jointly by the Northern Pa cific and Great Northern, which Is ex pected to add materially to tha resources of these companiea. Covering by short Interests was a ma terial factor in today's rise in prices and was due no doubt to uneasiness over the readiness with which certain active Is sues hsve been absorbed recently. This is especially true of Southern Pacific, Northern Pacific, United States Steel and Reading. Kile's report showed an Increase In operating Income of $W).000, due, however, to- reduction of operating expenses, the gross revenue having fallen off slightly. The Omaha line reported an Increase of $146,000 in net revenues for last month. Bonds were firm; total sales, par value. $3.427,0ii0. United States Ss, registered, ad vanced H on call.

OMAHA. Jan. 31 The eastern disturbance continues to move slowly off the upper At lantic coast. ' An area of low pressure ex tends from the Pacific coast east over the mountains to the central vsrtieys. and Is accompanied by rains on the Paclflo slope, and In the southwest, and Is causing gen erally cloudy and somewhat unsettled weather throughout the mountains and east over the valleys. The movement of the eastern disturbance off the upper Atlantlo coast ts followed by much colder weather in the Atlantic states, and temperatures are lower everywhere east of the IMssls sisslpl river, except In the upper lake region. The weather Is very much warmer in the upper lag region, the upper Mississippi and Missouri valleys, and Is warmer generally west of the moun tain region. An area of high pressure, ac companied by a rapid and decided fall In temperature. Is moving over the extreme northwest, and the extension of this high down over the valleys will bring colder weather to this vicinity by Wednesday, with probably fair tonight and Wednesday. 19U 1910 1909 1908 Iiowest last night fS IS I 4 Precipitation 00 .00 i .04) .22 Normal temperature today SI degrees Ief.

There was not enough activity in any branch of the mar ket early to afford a very accurate view point to the scale of prices. Right around forty doubles of stock were available at the opening and twenty more were due to show uo later. Iimbs were plentiful, with quality very food on an average. This phae of receipts slled, to stimulant Inquiry, however, and the best, as well as the poorest offerings, cleared with more or less difficulty. Prices averaged lower as a rule, bulk of sales dropping to flsures about 16 e under those of yesterday. Ptrlctly choice grades, still In the fleece, sold at and around 26. 7, but plain heavy strings are demanded at big discounts. 85(10 and less buying stock of this description. Hneep ruled steady in spots, tne general situation appearing bearish. Best kinds were favored and where unchanged prices were possible high dressing quality was In sisted upon. Some little business was done on a weak to dime lower basis. Toppy wethers are quotable around 14.00, with choice ewes around 13.76.

Re ceipt were very large, in fact the largest of the month with possibly one exception, and as a number of train were late tha re ceipts came stringing In all the forenoon. At the same time the attendance of tock men from the country waa larger than It ha been any day in a long time back. Th weather, being mild and summerlike, every one waa out in the yard and tha elevated walk wera thronged with man watching the progress of the day' trade. Tha market opened slow, buyer at usual when a Brood man v cattle are re ported back, were inclined, to move cautiously until the receipt wera all in sight when, aa a matter of course, they would have a larger number of cattle from which to make selection. Thus the early market was alow and dull and the fore noon waa wall advanced before enough cat tle had actually changed hand to make any real test of values. A tha morning advanced it became ap parent that buyer were determined to make th most of the large receipt to force a lower range of prices. The result was more or less dullnes to th trade throughout the day, with beet steer gener ally 10c lower. Cow and heifer, which were In ex tremely large supply, sold 10c lower and In many cases with the less desirable kinds lbUZzo lower. Good feeders, on th other hand, were about steady, but the common to medium kinds and light thin atocker wera generally a little lower. Quotations on cattle: good to choice beef steers.
