Cmc.ioo , .Inn. 24. Wheat was compara
tively steady during tlio greater part , of the
session and llrm toward the close. The hopes
of the bulls , which yesterday were completely
covorcil under n blanket of snow , row npala
nt noon whnn Hrmlstrcot's vlHlblo supply
showed that the country elevator stocks , out
side of those Included in ttio ofllciul visible
supply , had been drawn upon last wcolt to
the extent of JiTl,000 bu. The eloso was , ' 40
above last nlzht's figure * .
Horn shook oil a lonj ? depression and rose
; . | i' , retaining all but } Q of that at the close.
Outs wcro also firm and gained J c for May.
Provisions were dull and easier.
The wheat market was narrow. There
was n very 11-it condition of trade as far as
outside orders were concerned. Scarcely a
mi'.sseiiijor approached the pit with dis
patches , The voiutno of trade was the
lightest in weeks. The trade had counted
on Home activity and strength following the
cold wave , but the cold wuvo was preceded
by swell general snowfall tnat all talk of
uamawo was at an end. The movement was
In no way different from previous days. The
northwestern points had liberal receipts in
view of the snow storm. After the depres
sion caused by light export clearances there
wus seine recovery on account of the bullish
report of Uradstrcet on available stocks ,
being a decrease of 707.000 bu. on both
rousts. The May price starccd at G3e.
u.iieliod Gif'tiic ! ( : , went to ( lie , weakened
to 03" e , and again firmed to tlio best price
of HID day at the close , at ( > K ; ? 51Jd'o.
Thorn wus good strcmrtli i'n corn. While
wheat was showing no sign of a bull market ,
corn moved up c easily on its merits. The
May option opened a fraction up at BS 'i * ,
went to JMfSjfe , reacted a little and again licKl
strong. ' 1 ho receipts were very light. Bal
timore cleared nearly JiOD.OJO bu. About the
oniy uear iicm was ino increase 01 , u-iuuuu
Ini. in available stocks. This was expected.
Heforo the close there was renewed buying
nml the May price went to IlSJ c.
There was a liberal trade in oats and a
( Inner feeling , duo to sympathy with corn
mid owing to small receipts. There was
peed covering by shorts and also realizing
by parties who bought on the recer.t break ,
but the offerings were readily absorbed and
prices advanced % u for Muy and closed about
the top.
In pork dullness and weakness were the
features. The packers were the prinoipal
traders. The opening sales exhibited a dc-
cline of fie from yesterday's closinc prices ,
followed by a drop of 2' c. A reaction of
7'.jC ' followed on a little buying , but it would
not hold , the market casing off 5c for the
lack of support. A few orders were llllod
latter , which advanced the marKet to f 1R.23.1. ;
for May. Lard opened Be lower and fluctu
ated within n range of 2 , ' e. closing weak at
f7,57l-j. May ribs were dull and lower , clos
ing firm at JO.O'X.

with most of It of n profiiMlonul charac-

from the \u'st. The iiMvemoiit of grain was
smaller on urrntintof thn cold weather , and a

Tlm present production Is going In

NEW YOKK , Jan. 24. The share specula
tion today was fairly active and was at
tended by no excitement even in tlio Sugar
pool , The main tendency of prices was up
ward , and although tliero were reactions
they wcro followed by recoveries , and
at no tlmo was the pressure to sell very
heavy , a strong tone characterizing the deal-
insjs In the grangers. St. Paul was in good
demand early in the day on rumors that the
earnings for the third week in January
would show ft smaller porcontngo of de
crease than for any week since the broalc'
begun , and later when the figures wore pub
lished , which gave the decrease as $ UO,53r ,
or 18 % per cent , against an average decrease
of 23 per cent In December nnd 2T.jj ! per cent
for the llrst week of January , there was n
pretty general covering of shorts In these
stocks and also buying for the long account ,
willed , especially in tno later dealings ,
caused tin appreciation in values , London
was a buyer of St. 1'nul and also took small
lots of Atchtson , Louisville & Nashville und
Union Puelilc. , .
Although the most active of the list , the
transactions in Suu'ur were loss than half
the amount of yesterday's sales. General
ruin of American Sugar interests was tlio
burden of the tatlc on thu exchange as the
natural consequence of free sugar , but all
the snmo tltero was a vigorous covering of
shorts , and at each reaction buying orders
appeared In sufficient numbers to keep tlia
shares from slumplnc off , and the Jlnal tig-
tires actually showed a gam of )

Thol'ostsnys : Frightened speculators In
sugar stocks , including thofu who proclaim
that without protection the price of the
trust certificates will go to SO , seem to have
sold successfully at about 77. A forced break
of S points this morning served only to bring
in ns buyers the sellers of yesterday and
Monday and tlio price recovered promptly.
After this introiluctory llolirish the market
fell into Its accustomed ami natural dullness
The tendency , however , was unmistakably
upward , and untwlthstandlm ? the lack of
business , prices for the granger stockscrcrt
up before the day's close to 1 point above
yostm-Juv's closing. This was tlio character
of the movement wherever a shadow of ac

So for this week compared with last there
has been n falling off of about 2,500 cattle ,
! Wll ) hogs and U,000 sheep.
Tuesday's blimrd was probably mainly
responsible for the very modor.ito run of
cattle today , but the continued poor quality
of the offerings can hardly be charged to the
weather. The "market was dull nnd wcnlc
for beef steers. There was n weak tone to
reports from eastern markets , nml with no
outside competition thu light sup
plies were amply sufllclcnt to llll
local drcssad beef men's orders. With
the weather several degrees below /cro
It was nearly 10 o'clock before buyers
started out Into the yards. Thotr bids were
unevenly lower from the start , and as ,
sellers wanted at least steady prices , tradIng -
Ing wan dull nnd dragging throughout.
Prices ruled all the way from wcilc : to n
dime lower tnnti Tuesday. A bunch of very
peed l.WVMb. beeves brought $1.0. ) , but for
lullto pretty good 1,000 to 1,200-lb. stcci-3
prices wcro moitly from 6't.50 to $ . ' ! > ( ) , while
common and inferior stuff went at from
. : UO down.
The cow market was rather uneven , but
prices wore close enough to steady to bo so
culled. Some ! ' . " > loads were on sale , and they
moved off frroly at from SI.7.1 to $ * . & for
emitters to * : > . " > to. ? : ! 85 for good to choice
stoci : . Ve.il calves were in iietlvo demand at
strong prices , f om 1 to $ , V.5 , nnd the mar
kot for rough stock was fully stonily , poor to
choice nulls , oxen and stags selling tit from
SI.05 up to § : ! .5 ( ) .
In stockers and fcciinra the market was
not only active , but prices wcro practically
steady , ( lood to choice steers with Ik'.sli
mil quality sold ut from SUO to.li : ! ( ) , with
poor to fair stuff nt from f-'Jo lo ? 2.'JO. Rep

lions Heceipts were very light , less than
a third as many ns were hero on last Wed
nesday , but the quality was fair with the
weight slightly heavier us a rule. With
less than 2,500 hogs on sale nil told , packers
were hardly very much interested in the
markot. There was no shipping demand ,
nnd the fresh moat trade absorbed the
meager offerings. Kastorn markets wore
lower and compared with Tuesday's uneven
trade , prices hero averaged a shndo lower ,
although the range was practically thosiime.
Fair to good hogs of all weights sold mostly
nt S5.10atid ! $ T > . ; i. > , while ono choice butcher
weight load brought S5.40. It did not take
long to clear the pens , although the trade
was never active at any time during the
day. It was practically n fo.iiO to $5.tt ! mar
ket today , against $5,85 Tuesday and ? Ti 15 to

They generally sold from Oc to lOc lower than

about lust week's closing prices. For butchers'

was 105,225 barrels , against 'Jij. " " > barrels the

to crlnd oily ! enough to keep whatever ordera
come in cleaned up.
Millers still liud Hour very slow of sale.
Foreigners are taking scarcely any , and this
leaves it for the domestic markets to absorb
whatever is turned out. The sales of Minne
apolis mills last wcotfnggrCBb'cd 100,000 ,
barrels.
Present quotations nro pretty llrm. Kx-
port business is extremely meager. No Hour
hus yet been sent to tlio head of the lake to

Of matters nt Superior and Dulutli tlm
"Miller's correspondent says the Hour produc
tion last week was the smallest for over a
year. Only ono mill was in operation. Mill
ers are not discouraged , though there is V
llttlo to hraco up their spirits. Although it
would bo possible to opera to the mlllfl if
transportation charges wore lower millers
are content to liavo rates firmly iniilntalne.il.
