By FRANKLIN K. SPRAGUE.
. Omaha It I .rated Mir.
New York, Jan. 23. The aetion
of today' stuck market wa in dc
cidrd contrast to the clotting d;iy
of last week. Irregularity prevailed
throtiKhout the bession and I'liangra
were for the mot part reprtscntrd
in fractions. Furthermore, . the
volume wag not lrge and there vvan
every evidence that Bometliintr of a
waiting biiiution had been brouKht;
sdoui. utner financial markets were
aUo without any decree ot buoyancy,
The foreign exchanges moved withe
in narrow limits; an early rise of
prices in the grain market failed to
be maintained, and cotton wa die
tinctly heavy. The bond market also
marked time, except for a continua
tion ot interest in the local traction
issues, which followed the optimistic
statement of Frank Jicdlcy made late
rnday afternoon and the l-rciich is
sues were under pressure in antici
pation of competition with the.Dc
partment of the Seine . offering"- of
$JS,0IO,000 distributed to dealers to
day by the syndicate handling the
issue. '
Today tho character of event waa de-
rldedlv changed, tho rumors were almost
nil. and there was less apparent endeavor
made to holster up speculative sentiment.
lieuort of further encroachment or ait
wctcr in the Mexlcun oil nuns again

v.l.at had been expected. Thl compsrt
with glunlngs of 7.S44.673 up to January
1. Tho ginning between January i n i
anuary 1 amounted to 2.9 bales, or
tho smullcst total for the same period that
hub been recorded In many years. Today
llyures had little effect In the market.
They simply served to emphasise still
further how great was the. error of tho
lvpartment of Agriculture In estimating
the crop at 6.637,000 bale a of BepteM-
ber 26 Jest year.

Corn field within a range of 1-Jc,
I cing firm early with wheat only to
close eay with prices unchanged to
l-8c lower, while oats were btroitK
througliout the day and unchanged
to 1-Kc higher at the last. Kyc was
l-4c lower.
Continued buying of May wheat
by btroiig commisaion houses, part
ly to close uprcads, absorbed the of
ferings in the pit early and the May
July spread .widened to 13 5-8c at
the last, the greatest difference so
far. At the high May was up 71-4
over the low of last week, and the
market had been on the upgrade for
11 days.
A rnnra getinral dlapuaitlnn 4o lak

waa construed a inodfrately bullish. Tho
trade looked for a ftb-ral reduction In the

crease being 2,676.000 bushels, nut it at

Commission houses wero free seller at
39 c. for May. The closing reaction was
In sympathy with othor grains. Shipping
sales 140,000 bushels, with receipt 208
cars.
Pit Notes.
There was evidence today of further
buying of May wheat by leading interest,
with some buying order coming from tho
east. Buying of May s Winnipeg by
Armour has been a factor the last week,
and advice received from tho Canadian
market today said that the buying had
been persistent nnd heavy enough to take
good deal 01 tno slack out ot mo
marker.
Wheat In tho Texns panhandle district
Is In poor shape, according to latest re
ports from that section. , .
World's shipments of over. 16.000.000
bushels wheat were evidently reassuring to
buyera 011 the other side. 1 nero was jittto
change in Liverpool prices. : Argentina
shipments are increasing earlier than
UKual, and there Is mora activity. Hotly
Germany and Russia aro said to bo after
tho Plato wheat this morning which I
not unnatural, n It Is cheopor Ulan either
guir or Canadian wheat
Offerings of corn from the country con
tinue moderate from Argentina, and ship
pers are paying more attention to wheat.
The demand for corn from this country
for export conseciuently Is expected to
be good.
An advance of 30o In hogs put the
price of light hogs to over $9. an ad
vance of more than $1 In a few days.
There were 3.338 ears of grain on track
In Chicago today, against 2,262 cars a
week ago. Total arrivals for today were
1.478 cars. At elevators there aro 1.233
cars and held outside for inspection and
disposition 2.105 cars.
Flour prices have advanced 2.c the last
two days. Trade is mainly in small lots.
