CIIICAOO , Jan. 13. Wheat was stronger
loday and closed with a ? o gain for May.
Reports of the probable government bond
Issue , fnlr clearances , good buylnir and the
ixpectation of n cold wave contributed to
the firmness. Corn closed with May MC
higher. May oats are tfe higher and provisions -
visions slightly higher throughout the list.
Wheat opened with May , ' c up at Ol,5 c
Mid soon advanced to OlJic. The main
cause of the strength was the report that
ttio government would lasuo $ .10.000,000 in
bonds , Cables were steadier. The short
Interest bought tairly , there was some buy
ing on eastern account and the market
ihowcd tnoro steadiness , with nn apparently
itronger undertone. A report tha.t the
of the principal
: rep estimates of several
itates were lower than expected caused a
temporary reaction , which sent May down
toni.c ! , but the general news of the day
was apparently of too bullish a nature to
Ion ? discourage buyers. An advancing cold
ivave added to the llrmncsi. The buying con
tinued free until the end of the session , clos
ing but V from the top. May advanced
' ( .c , lost ' , . { 0 , advanced Jfe nnd reacted ac to
ihc close , at ( Hc.
In corn there was a strong , steady market ,
with operations not on a very largo acalo ,
prices covering from jtfe to J c ranze. 'J he
strengthening features were the action of
wheat and the small arrivals , which In
duced considerable local buying , selling
being scattered and generally in small lots.
Olid-Inns continue on n moderate scale ,
while the demand appears to bo Improving.
Receipts were under the estimate. May
opened - < c higher at Sc , lost tfc , advanced
' . . 'c , lost 'ic ' , rained $40 ana reacted % c to
the close at a8 ! c , but ' { .a from the top
ligures of the day.
There was a liberal trade in oats , within
a Binall but higher range. With liberal sell
ing and also good buying by operators , who
recently sold tit low prices , the linlsh was at
nearlv the top. May opened ' .jo-higher at
! i.iJ4ilost j c and advanced ) i'c to the close
at liVI' c.
Provisions opened weak and lower on re-
relpts of Hvo hogs 7,000 in excess of the
estimate. There was some activity for a
short time , prices advancing lo over yester
day's closing prices , the market being sup
ported by two or three packing houses. The
btrength in wheat also , contributed to the
feeling. Further strength was subsequently
developed on continued buying by the
packers. Compared with last night May
pork is ] 4c higher , May lard Gc higher , and
May ribs fie up.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat ,
13.-i cars ; corn , 00 cars ; oats , 105 cars ; hogs ,

MtNNnAPOLi ? , Jan. 18. The wheat market
opened a lllllo higher Oils morning than It
ohHcd yesterday evening. The reason for
the Ntrongt i was hardly known by any ono.
Homo talked about the cold wave as they had
lalked a few days ago about the damage to
winter wheat by too strong a growth. Cincin
nati Price Current reported an opinion that
the yield ( if wheat us estimated by the govern
ment was some 50,000,000 bu. too low. Hut as
that condition Irftd been discounted long ago
thocsllnmtu hud very little oireCt tinon the
market today , Very much of the buying was
by eastern parties. Considerable of It by Now
York men. The country west ( if hero did very
little. After till there was good trading nearly
all of the day , and MIIIIO 3,000,000 tin. wcru
bought ami sold. Receipts were 103 cars ;
shipments , 61 cars. The olferlngs on thu
board from these receipts wore too small to
meet the demands of millers here nnd
outside and prices for track wheat
were forced above the May price. In some
Instances Irack wheat sold io per bu. nbovo
May. It was thought that at this premium
there would bo a great deal of wheat olTered
from country elevator stocks. Some was
offered , but buyers would not pay full spot
prices for It that iho sellers demanded , and
trade In grain of that kind WIIH light. Thcolo-
vator men say they are mtto that when May
comes there will ho a premium of lUlOl'-c ' :
above present prices , as it will cost that
amount lo get wheat out of local elevators and
put It on track ready for delivery to millers ,
They have no use for the money that would
como from sales of the stocks they now have
In store. So that thu only costs to them of
carrying thu wheat now on hand Is Iho Insur
ance and the small shrinkage the grain would
bu. subjected la. In addition , when Maycome * ,
thu men to whom the 'wheat Is sold would
hardly remove It , and It follows that the ele
vator owners expect storage charges to accrue
during May , June and a part nt least of July.
It Is for thwe charges that thu wheat will hu
held unless tljo premium Is higher than now
paid. The mills are running ut about the
.same rate as yesterday.
There Is istik that the mills will run more
lively next week , hut thu result will depend
largely upon whether freight rates are ro-
duccd or the demand for Hour keeps up. Thu
prices for flour remain steady , llran and
shorts were llrm and active , May wheat
opened at 00-\00 ic ; after soiling at prices
ranging not very far from that , there was an
advance to Olc , with short buying lively.

Proposed Issue nf ilovoriimoiit llnnds Not
favorably Hccoivod.
NEW YORK , Jan. 13. The proposed issue
of irovcrnmeiit bonds , the announcement of
which It was expected would do so much for
the stocit inarkot In the way of increasing
the volume of business , bringing : In now
buyers and establishing a higher range of
prices , did not accomplish what was looked
forward to with certainty. It is ti-uo that
at the opening of business today a strong
tone characterized the dealings and there
was ( { router activity than for the past few
days , but the buying was not of the character -
actor anticipated. The foreign houses pur
chased .some round lots of the arbitrage
specialties , and there was a good deal of
covering by shorts , who concluded it was not
safe to ho on the beat- side of the market at
this juncture , and the co.nbinod buying for
thcso two accounts , supplemented by purchases -
chases of the small traders , served to advance
prices Jtt to ? j per cent at the opanlng.
When U Oucamo evident that the largo op
erators were not in the inarkot as buyers
and that there was heavy offerings of the
leading shares , a suspicion rcw that those
who had boon buyers on the rise , manipu
lated by advance reports of the band Issue ,
were endeavoring to roallzo their prollts.
As a consequence Iho upward movement
was chocked , but after a fractional reaction
the advance was taken up again , and at the
end of the first half hour quotations luul
moved up from last night's closing figure U
to l } per cent. Hock Island , Erie , the other
grangers , thu Industrials , Canada 1'aoillu ,
Minneapolis St , Louis , I iko Shore , I-ouls-
ville & Nashvlllo nnd Western Union being
moro prominent In the advance ,
A demonstration usralnst values was now
made , which was chiefly directed against
General Ulectrlc , und was accompanied by
unfavorable rumor's against , thut prop'irtv ,
Including n revival of the receive -ship
story , A dccllno of IJf percent was effected
In the stock , followed by u recovery of 1 per
cent on Inside buyingnnu the statement was
made that 1'rcsldcnl Co 111 n would bu con
tinued In oQlco. In the later dealings a rc-
nctlon of I1 , , pi-r r nt was followed with n
final recovery of ? , J | ih- cent ,
For the general Mis } there was very Ilttlo
demand nnd the pressure to sll was slight ,
so the speculation was absolutely without
feature nmiiuot-itions | chaneuil hut n small
fraction until aftw delivery hours. Then n
soiling movement was ilovelopoil that took
In grangers , notably Kocit Island , nnd which
was kept In forco.to the close , the final sales
being tnado nt a tlocllho from the highest of
the day of > { to in * ; per cent , the latter In
Hock Island. The inaVket closed weak with
the nctlvo list concruUy lower than yester
day's last prices , hut some of the usually
Inactive shares showfylvances.
The general opinion of the leading finan
ciers of this elty is firvor.iblo to the success
of the government Joan mid It Is predicted It
will bo subscribed for many times over. H
Is predicted the bid * will In a majority of
cases range fronMlTJ/ HS1 , the Ilrst fig
ures giving the Ijrokt-rs n small margin of
lirolltand the UstafTordlnpan Investor hotter
terms than by buying of the present govern
ment issues ut cm-rout quotations. In vlow of
the fact the bonds were Issued for general
subscription , the belief Is expressed by some
hankers that the national hanks will not he
very largely represented nmcng the bidders ,
for the reason that they will bo likely to
wait for the contemplated'Issuo of U percent
bonds which It ts behoved congress will
authorize us affording greater profit. There
Is u very gcncr.il feeling that very few of
the bonds will bo taken byforolgn Investors ,
ni a merchant capital'it Is boliovcd , can
afford to bid higher than foreign competi
tors.
tors.Tho
The Post savs : The early London buying
kept the general market firm until the last
half hour , when the dullness was Inter
rupted by a professional effort to mark down
prices generally. Tills movement began
with Ocncral Klcctrlc , though It was per
haps significant that tlio very speculators
who sold down General Klcctrio were busy
buying back Hock Island. This is not the
first time that the unlucky Boston stock
Ilrst mentioned has been used to sustain by
Its forced weakness n bear retreat. No
doubt many people experienced great disap
pointment In today's stock market. The
formal notion of n bond Issue was received
in apathy. Some visible and permanent in
fluence of the secretary's circular was looked
for , but it did not come.

Cattle Trade lu r.iul Ounilltlnii HOBS Talio
u Slight Drop.
, Titumtur , Jan. 19.
So far this week , compared with last ,
cattle receipts fall nearly 1,200 short , while.
Micro lias been an Increase of nq.irly 4,003
hogs nnd . ' ' ,700 sheep.
The cattle trade was in very bad shape.
Uecolpts were eomparatlvoly liberal ami
made up largely of poor , to medium
grade steers. Ixcal slaughterers had It
all their own way , as tbcro was
no Inquiry nt nil from shippers nnd ex
porters. Hcports from eastern markets
were vcrybaarlsli in tone and on whatcattlo
pold hero prices a veragcd all of too to Ifjc
lower than Wednesday , wlillo there was
qulto a Ilttlo stogie in the pens on winch
sellers couhl not got a decent bid. There
were no really good beef cattle hero , but
fair to very decent 1,001) ) to 1'JOJ-lb. stnors
sold nt from $140 to j.C5 : ) , with poor
to fair grades nt from $3 to J3.30. It
was about as unsatisfactory n market as
dealers have run up against this winter , aud
prices were quotnuly ! ° 5c to 40o lower than
last week.
It was the satno way with cow stuff , only
more so. Prices averaged unevenly lower
than Wednesday nnd from i > 0o to "Co lower
than n week ago. Canncrs sold at from $1.'J. >
to $2 , and it took choice fat heifers to bring
$ - . " " > or bolter. Fair to good butchers' cows
went largely at.10 to S-2.5'J. Calves at from
$2 to $ .1 were about steady and rough stock
sulline ; largely around 32 and $2.75 showed
no quotable change.
Tlio stockcr and feeder inarkot was de
void of now features. IJoth supplv nnd de
mand were limited and prices ruled about
steady , at least so far as suitable grades
were concerned. Good tojiholco feeders arc
quoted at from vt to ' ! .70 ; fair to good at
from $ .70 to S3 , and lighter , commoner
grades at from 12.iO down. Uoprcs.cntativb
sales :
DRESSED
llooa There was a fair run of hogs , about
the same number as were hero a week ago
today. The quality was very peed , bettor
than usual , In fact , the offerings containing
plenty of good limshed medium and heavy
hogs. Kveryttilng pointed to a lower mar
ket. Liberal receipts , lower marUets east
nnd no ontslJo dennnd left sellers In no
position to withstand the bearish attacks
of buyers nnd the m.irkot nvoraed ; : from

Ono buyer was wanting hogs pretty badly

CtiiCAOO , Jan. 18. I'rlros were lower today
for all grades of cuttlo. The supply was lartu
and the demand weak nnd there was a .shrlnlc-
a oln valuc.sof ftom lOc to 25c uor 100 HH.
As compared ivltli limt Thursday's prices ,
thuro Is a reduction of from 2feto50e. Com
mon and medium stcnrs nave caught It Iho
worst , as It , is of thosn descriptions the current ,
receipts arc lar uly composed. Extra 1,000
to 1,700-lh , steers may ho left out of the
calculation , for tinno of this class sirn helntf
otTcrud. The greater lnrof tlu > day's sales
nro below S4.DO. It took good stulT tn tiring
that figure. Verv decent hits changed hands
at from $3.40 to 53.60 , and only a few .sales
wore directed tilmvo $4.75. Cow.s , heifers and
bulls soltl principally at from Jl.00 to $2.85 ,
Stockers and feeders showed hut , Ilttlo change ,
the onVrlngs not Iwliig very iitimurons.
The hogs nro coming a Ilttlo too thick not
In quail ! v , hut In numbers. The fresh receipts
ran up lo about 38,000 head , making 143,700
head since Saturday , as against 134.405 houd
for the sanio tlmo lust week , There wuro
enough stale hogs to swell today's supply to
48,000 head. The pressure was too great untl
a reduction In prlcus of from 5c to lOc par cwt.
resulted. The market foil to from JJ.95 lo
$5.40 , which Is a decline from last Thursday's
quotations of from 20c to 25c. The lower
prices sllmitlalod Iho demand and mete ( tlio
.stuff was bought up hcforo noon. The tone of
tlm market Unproved as the day advanced ,
ttio close belli ; ; active and firm. Compara
tively few lots brought tnoro than $5.3ii. the
prevailing prices bolng from JE5.25 to .f5.35.
Hough inl.xcd and poor llght.sold around $5.05 ,
and them win trading In culls at from $2.00 to
$4.00. There were hales of heavy , medium
and light at $5.40 , and J0.42Ji was paid fora
lot averaging 257 ilw.
Thoshoup market was again In had shaps. It
was fairly " .swamped , " about 33,000 head hav
ing been dumped wllhin the last forty-eight
hours. As half of that number would liavo
mut all reiuiemonts ] ! it was an nasy matter
for buvers to force a further decline , They
shnarcdotr 10c , making a decline of from l5u
to 25c for the two days. This leaves prices at
from 81.15 to $3.00 for poor to cholco sheep
