CHiaAOO , Jan. 3. The mnrkcls wcro
Renerally lilRhcr today. Hull news was pre
dominant nnd wheat , after opening rnlhor
only , noon MrenRthened nnd closed nt from
He to ? Ac lower than yesterday. Corn nnd
oats \vcro helped liy wheat , the latter train-
ttiR from Ko to Vie. while provisions showed
Btirhtnntlnl ndvancra.
Wheat ruled fairly nctlve and while show-
Inff Bomo tendency to wenkncsa durlnp ; the
early part of the session , finally cot stroncer
nnd sold up fully V4c. The Indifferent cables
nnd the continued uncertainty of a favor-
alilo rolutlon of the financial problems now
before the country were the early weak
Influences. Hut there wns some good buyIng -
Ing by prominent houses nnd the cold
weather caused some fear for the growing
wheat In localities where It was not fully
protected by snow ! but such arras , It Is
said , nro quite limited. The receipts arc
still running light everywhere and the
exports from the seaboard yesterday were
over 500.001) ) Im. In wheat and Hour , making
over 1.800.MX ) bu. BO far this week , and there
wrro estimates of n very considerable de
crease In the visible supply next week.
Cudahy wns nn active nnd liberal buyer
nnd the trade generally began to look with
more favor on the buying side nnd as there
was not much selling presuro the price wi-ut
up gradually and held fairly well. Mny
Bold early nt 58c , tin to from 587 o to & 9c
ftpllt , off to from TxS'.ic to nSic , split , then
to from MVic to ti'lVlc split , nnd eased oft
by noon to D9o. The market held steady
during the last hour at 50c nnd ODVgC , clos
ing firm at 59Uc.
Cora was Blow , rtcady nnd featurelcs' ? .
There WUB a light trade nnd the estimate
for tomorrow Is light , but the cold weather
Is In favor of some Incrsnse. May sold all
day nt 27T c and l8c ! , closing at from 27c
to lSe ! split.
Oats were very dull. The closing strength
of wheat caused n desire among n few of
( the nhorta to go homo even. That closed
i < K the market up llrm nt the best prices of
Jv - . * the day and ut 3-lGc advance for the May
' delivery.
The day's run of hogs wns again a dis
appointment to the bears , causing Increased
disposition to cover their previous sales.
The bulls were nlso more Inclined to buy.
Ho Hi parlies began bidding ngalnst each
other for the limited offerings. A lively
advance resulted and nt the close pork-was
* * ' * left with a gain of 20c for January nnd l Ho
for May. l.iiril stopped with a gain of Cc
* nnd ribs 71tc.

during the complete year 1SJ5 number 13-
197 , against 13,855 In 1S9I , but thb aggregate
of liabilities Is still greater , J173.1M.OOO ,
against J172,032SoO , so that the average per
fhlluro Ifl $13,121 , against $12,453 In ISO I , The
bright promise offered by n largo decrease
In the first quarter was followed by a small
Increase In the second , nnd third quarters
and a largo Increase in the last quarter ol
the year. In that quarter also the deferred
liabilities to each firm In business Increased
nnd also the proportion of deferred liabili
ties to payments through clearing houses.
Hcmnrlmblo contrasts nro shonn this week In
prlcei of materials and of manufactured products.
Compared with January 1 , 1S33 , prices of manu
factured products and of materials rose for pig
Irtn 75.1 pec cent In the highest point , but only
9.1 nt the close , while manufacturers of Iron
rose M.7 nt the highest point and 23..1 at the
close ; anlbrnclle cotil rising 1. > .3 , but closed
5.6 lower llian January 1 , 1893. Cotton rose
CI.7 per cent nt the highest point , nnd 17.1 at
thn close , but cotton goods rose only 16.S nt the
highest nnd II.A nt Hie clot. Hides rose 73 at
the highest point nnd 13.0 nt the close ; leather
43.0 nt the highest anil 21.4 nt the close , nnd
booti and shoes 27.9 nt the' highest nnd 12.G nt
the close. Wools rose 7.7 nt the highest point
and C 9 nt the close , but woolfn goods were re
cently one-eighth ot 1 per cent ot the highest
point , closing n shade weaker. Bilk , 14.3 nt the
hlgheit point nnd 10.7 nt the close. The com-
parlsctts cast niueli light on the depression nnd
Incrensfi of the failures during the last quarter.
Produce markets hax'o been the theater of sur
prising changes , which have Inlluenced nil busi
ness. The actt-agc In cotton xvas wisely re
stricted. In order to glvo producers a Letter
clinnco for fair returns , nnd the crop was fur
ther reduced to pome extent by Injury , but grow
ers , were Injured still moro by frantic specula
tion , which checked exports , nnd by false In
formation nnd advice. Wheat producers suf
fered In like manner from wild speculation ,
which prcxented the exporting of many million
bushels , and fnUo reports , which encouraged
fanners to keep back their grain until thn
cream had been taken off the market by specu
lators. The Inevitable consequence lias been n
lowering In prices , the- yield beingIn excess of
nil demands , while Atlantic , exports for th < * last
live wceki. flour Included , lm\e been 5,411,230
bushels , ngalnit 9,073,673 bushels last > car. The
great crop of corn has materially affected the

noticeable feature , which cannot but show that
cotton manufacturers have confidence of profits

goods la tie fact that several concerns already
operating large mills have Been nt to erect
additional mills , thereby largely Increasing their
capacity , in some Instances to the doubling

Manufacturers generally ore fully nllvc to
the Importance of tlie Improved facilities for
the production of their goods , and demonstrate
this fact by this way they have added new

Nelson Morris , lenvInB only thirty-eight
loads on snle.
Among the offerings were i-ome pretty
decent corn fed cattle , but none very
choice. The demand wns Rood nnd the
market developed n llttlo moro life than
has been the cnsn on a coed many days of
late , the offerings nil bcliiR taken enrly In
the day. Hesldcs being more nctlvn. the
fcellnp wns bettor and In pome cases sales
men thought they not a llitlo stronger
prices than yesterday. ,
Cows nnd heifers were In light supply
nnd the market nctlvo nt strong prices.
The few cattle offered were soon taken nnd
the market closed early with everything
