THIS WAS DUE TO HEAVY SELLING

CniCAOO , HI. , Jan. 9--Conlrary to predic
tions May pork opened fit 118.45 this morning ,
a break of 2Bc a barrel from Saturday's closing
price. This was duo to the he.xvy soiling nnd
under the estimate of hog receipts. About
80,000 hogs was the clitlmato for today , but
according lo the reports anywhere from 81-
000 to 36,000 lii-nil were received. Speculators
wanted to rcall/e , nnd ospeclnlly that portion
known as the "country ; " and nearly every
order was filled frnmf ItUfi to I18. 24. ! Thn
low trade Is yet undecided us to whether theio
Is a I'orniT In pot k or not.
Mny Is along uuy alicud and It seems Im
probable thai any symlVato Is at work on a
corner til present for Unit month. HUH pork Is
strong , though nt present the pork suspects
are "scalping" on the matket. There Is a gun-
crul feeling among the traders tlmt there Is
danger of a "siiueezo" later on. Cmltihy t
Wright have been absolved and Philip I ) . Ar

Hut for Iliii nervous andstiong market for
pork nnd rlns It would lime been a day to re
member on tbo Hoard of Trade for Its phenom
enal dullness. Some of tin ) apathy shown bv
the traders was ascribed to tbo election of
dlrectois , but there was nothing in tbo nnws
of a stimulating character and that was prob
ably the main CIIUMJ for the dullness , Com
pared with Satuidny'f , closing prices , wheat , Is
'Xe lower , corn Is off fiom ' c lo J/c , oats ' ( ,
and lard lOc. i'ork Is 37'Sc and libs 7'Sc
higher.
Wheat was slow all through tbo session and
kept fiom V to ' , < range. The northwestern
receipts were Small for Monday , but the loi--il
receipts weie neatly 175 i-ais above the estl-
matoatid trade was lin-llned to wall the an-
nouiireift. nt of Iho visible supply , "lilrh was
late In coming In. The leporls showed a
smaller liu-M--iM than

In the visible , the ptlcn reacting from ! ic to

Ur. loss.
Oats vrcro modenitoly nctlvo nnd easier.
Prlco changes wore confined to Uo range.
Tbo provision market was very unsettled
and for a tlmo it looked as If HID high prices
wuro at an end. There was a largo element In
the regular trade that sold early. Grain
houses helped to raid the pork market. Com
mission bouses bad selling orders fiom the
outside. Moss pork Rtarted on a sharp decllno
and at the low point tlio llrst few minutes
showed about 30c loss fiom Katuiday. hard
nnd ribs at tbo same tlniu showed 20c loss
The weakness was very deceptive. An hour
Inter prices were up around tbu Satin day llg-
tires. After u pause there was a second bulge
and May pork touched $19.00 on a bid for 6UO
barrels lit Oo ov-ei'llie mnrknt. There was an
other lull uhcn a third nnd later bulge put
prices .still higher. Although hoe receipts
woru over llio estimate at 31,000 to 35,000 , the
market at the yards kept sluing A few ven
tured to sell short , but Ihu most of the .selling
at any tlinn was by holders with prollts. Ar

LONDON , Jan. 9. The Mark I.ano Express In
Its weekly review of the British gialn trade
says ; English wheat has risen 5d In London
and Is in sovuial of the country markots. The
sales have been oven smaller than usual In
mld-wlntor. Tor the llrst t line In a long period
the demand has exceeded the supply. The
stocks have thereby been reduced 115,000
quarters. A i-ontliuiance of tills demand
would greatly help trade out of the despond
ent stagnation that provalfMl in December.
A decreased shipment for America and In
creased continental demand for Indian wheat
lias helped tlio market since Now Year's day.
The chief features of the stocks Is the enor
mous Increase in the supply of foreign. In
Jumiary , 1892 , the stock of llour was 595,000
quarters. It Is now 1,500,000 quarters ,

STOCKS ANI1 IIONOS.
Securities UVro Unusually .VrtUo Yrstcrihiy
lint U'ltlml Were .Strong.
NEW YOIIK , Jan. 9. The stock market
was unusually actlvo today but withal was
strong , although considerable Irregularity In
tin fluctuations occurred. Tlio Irregularity
was In a gieat mcawirodtie , first to the bull
manipulations of the Industrials as opposed
to the outlook for gold shipments and pros
pects as regard to the same and the repeal
of the Sherman law at this session of this
congress. The sterling u\chanio market was
not higher , but while the demand was not ex
cessive ' , commercial bills nro reported becom-
Ingscarcor and the piospectof further ship
ments was looked upon as good. There Is no
ship likely to take any of the precious metal
before Saturday nnd estimates of the proba
ble out-go have not yet been made. The
feature was naturally Heading and Its trans
actions again amounted to very largo figures ,
but ' this was largely duo to the selling chiefly
of'tho speculative clement.
Reading was heavily sold In the afternoon
after the statement of the Jeist-y Centuil
wlthduiwnl beciimo public , audits price wa
driven down from 01 ! ( to 493 . A partial ic-
covory to50 occuried , but at that tlgiuo It
was left 13 percent lower than on Satuiday.
With this decllnu the rest of the mm-iiot
sympathised to a limited oMcnt , but as a rule
pilceswero higher. Among the partlcuhiily
strong stocks of the day Hock Island and
Iliirllngton may bo mentioned , both being
'
much num- net I've than usual of late , and the
buying npparently came fiom good sources.
The stiong features of tlio foienoon were the
Industilal stocks and S. V. White was a buyer
both of Sugar and Distillers , llulllsh talk on
the former was reiterated with considerable
olivet , the stock rising to 118'i , settling back
under the Influence or tlio decline In Kcadlng.
Distillers , however , were still pressed forsalo
by the piofesslonal operators and failed to
score advances which Us kindled stocks on-
Joyed. Notwithstanding the weakness In Head
ing , Lackawanna rallied from the late depres
sion and closed (5 ( per cent higher ; the Gran
gers , Including Atchlson.were unusually prom
inent In the dealings and all showed strength ,
but other gioups developed no feature of In
terest. The declaration of a 2 per cent cash
dividend on Louisville & Nnslivlllohad no ap
parent influence on tlio list or that stock.
The Postsay-j ! Tlio conditions were on the
whole of a naturall/.lng nature and gave few
points of legitimate advantage In a concerted
effort to nlli-cl the general list. Tlio market
opened in a somewhat weak and irregular
manner , especially as regards a few of the
moro actlvo stocks , although the general list
was not atlected. Support developed for thu-t !
stocks attacked , with the result that the mar
ket quickly swung Into n co3Ulllon of tlimneas
and buoyancy. Unusual conlldcnco was
shown by the manipulating cliques and the
bears soon saw their early advantage glvo
way to a generally that they wcio powerless
to check.

CIIICAOO , III. , Jan 0. ( Special Telegram to
THE lli'.E.l The dressed beef concerns wanted
stock and so did eastern buyers and exporters ,
and what at lirsl looked to ho a Minicuhnt ex
cessive cattle supply was disposed of _ without
extra effort. Although the ollerings Included
some choice beeves there was a large pri-pon-
dcinnco of common and medium qualities mid
Hailing at better than $5.00 did not cut much
( Iguro In the day's transactions , Common
half fatted steers were to a certain cMont
neglected and seine salesmen quoted that
grade a trlllo lower. Sales were on a basis of
from $3,25 to $0.00 for common to o.\ti-u
steers , J2.25 to f3.H5 for stackers and feeders ,
nnd from J1.50 to J3.75 for conh , heifers ami
bulls.
t'or a little while this morning it looked as
though holders of hogs might have to accept
considerably loner prices * The Increased re
ceipts and the hearlslf'attltudc of buyers
made .salesmen a little nervous an ( ho start ,
but their fears proved groundless , for an hour
after the ball was sot In motion buyers weio
taking ' the stun * freely at Satuiday's prices.
I'lirthbr along they woio induced to pay a
small advance , the close being about Oc higher.
Tlieio was a sale or twontan advance on the
blithest price previously lunched of lOc , t7.85
being paid. There was an active demand for
local and eastern account at from $7.10 to
$7.05 for poor to choice light and at fiom $7.45
to $7.85 for medium and heavy weights. Kew
lots chanced hands below $7.DO , the popular
figures being from $7.50 to $7.70. Uulls were
quoted anywheio from $4.50 to $0.50.
There was fair activity In sheep and last
week's closing prices were fieriuently paid for
all otlorings of useful quality. A string of
over 400 choice fed westerns averaging 107
Ibs. sold at $5.05 , and good natlvo muttons
went readily at from J4.G5 to $5.00. The mar
ket continued firm throughout for all good
grade mutton stock nnd thn pens were cleared
In good season. Choice to prime natlvo muttons
are quotable at from $5.00 to $5.40 ; fair to
good mixed ewes and wotbers at from $4.25 to
$4.75 , mid culls and foodcrs ut from $2.00 to

ON TRIAL.
Tliat'a a good way
to buy a medicine ,
but it's a pretty
hard condition
under which to sell
It. Perhaps you'vo
noticed that the or-
tjJlnnry , lilt or miss
11. iBallcino doesn't
. ot-
t tempt it ,
I I The only remedy
of its kind BO ro-
jnarkablo in Ita elToctB that It cnn l > o sold on
this plan is Dr. Tierce's Cioldon Medical Dis
covery. As n blood - cleanser , strength-ro-
Btoror , and ncsh-bnlldor.-thcre's nothing like it
known to medical science. In every disease
where the fault ia in the liver or the blood , 3
Dyspepsia , Indigestion , Biliousness , nnd the
most stubborn Kkin , Scalp , nnd Hcrofuloui
affections , it Is gwtrcmltta in every CASO to
beuoflt or cure , or you have your money back.
To every sufferer from CdUrrh , no matter
how bad the case or of how long stand-
ins , the proprietors of Dr. Bage's Catarrh
Remedy say this : " If we can't cure It ,
perfectly and permanently , we'll pay you
1500 in cash. " Bold by all druggists.
