CHICAGO. Jan. 10. The mora pacific ohnr-
ncter of European news had Its Plt ct o'l
the markets today and they relapsed Into
the condition of dullness pr. vnlnR ! ! lit'fere
the war scare. Wheat clojo-l % c lower
than yesterday. Corn and oatn lost Uc and
' , fco respectively. Provisions oult from 2'/4c '
to 7'4c off , compared with last night ,
Consols , were hlRher , KlvlnR evidence that
the IJrltlsh public nt least Ml not anticipate
any very serious trouble : as th war talk
hag been the principal prop of the market
this hail n depressing effect and there were
liberal liquidation and short mlUnR. The
northwestern nnd primary receipt * were ( ilso
.Kcnerous , specially the northwestern dellv-
'cries , which are more than double what
they were a week ago. There was Indlca
tlon , too , of liberal Bold sh'pmi'nl.i. ' On
the realizing and short soiling which fol
lowed , the market went oft ? ic from lost
nlRhfa close. Hut there was a good de
mand for cash wheat from country millers
nnd for export , which ctuiHed some reaction.
The market was nlno strengthened some b >
n London dispatch which said that It WIIH
estimated tlicro tlint the rtccnt bad weather
In Aregnllne hud reduced the export sup-
plus from that country fully S.WO.OOO bu.
nnd that no morn would be shipped this
year than last. May sold early at C0 c
sold oft to from 5Djc to G9ia split , up to
5DTic , down to CDHc and at noon was r/J'Sc.
The market WRB strenglhcncd some during
the last hour by some sensational wnr new ;
which ret shorts to covering and May soli
nt BOtic , but eased ofta fraction nnd closed
steady at from C Hc to 594c. .
Corn was slow. The short Interest has
covered so freely during the past few days
that there was not much demand from that
line , nnd with some Indications of larger
Interior deliveries there was more disposi
tion to sell. May sold early at 29c , weak
ened to 28c , and rallied to 2Sc , closing
nt that llgurc.
Oats were quiet and easy , governed some
what by the course of corn and the tamer
feeling In wheat. May sold from 19c to
19-o split , to from. 19'ic to 19-Hc split , clos
ing steady about 194c.
Provisions started very weak on the un
expectedly larger hog receipts. A good
demand sprung up at the decline with which
the wheat market opened and more than
half of the loss wns recovered before the
end. May pork , which closed yesterday at
W.92V4. rested at $ D.S2'fc , or lOo decline for
the day. May lard left oft at a decline of
Be , and May ribs nt a reduction of 7V4c.

Weekly llevlew of Trade , which Issues to

with such uncertainty that business Is
somewhat retarded. The proposed sale
of bonds offers grounds for conlldencc In
thu future , but no one Is able to deter
mine what Its earliest effects may be In
the money market , and for the time It Is a
cause of hesitation other'than hopefulness.
Speculation In products has liven ncllve. Cot

The Induslilnl situation tins not materially

expected that quite n number of the furnaces

NI3W YOniC , Jnn. 10. The share speculation
today wns Irregulnh nt the opening nnd the
volume of business was only moderate. An ens
ler tendency soon became evident , nnd genera
fractional losses were scored. Ilefore Ihe ex
piration of the first bout , however , the selling
pressure wns exhausted nnd a well dellncd cov
ering movement ensued , under Ihe leadership of
tint Industrials , which carried prices up to n
malarial extent. Later In the day the nnthrn-
cite coal stocks and grangers were strong fea
ture. ! . The lust mentioned group wns holpei

on the belief expresstd that the Ocrmnn sugar
bounty bill In the Itelchstng' will not pnaa nnd
partly on n pretty eonlldent sentiment by the
traders that the old dividend rates will be main
tained this ye.ir. The preferred stock rose li
per cent. The denial by President Hoyt of the
united States Leather company of the rumors
that the management was endeavoring lo place
a J2,00..000 . loan was followed by nn advance In
the preferred stock , due mainly to covering pur
chases. The general market was buoyed up by
the conviction that the delay Incidental to the
program for floating Uic new government loan
will not result In any serious financial disturb
ance. Tlie fact that only Jl.250,000 In gold wns
engaged for shipment tomorrow ulso had n fnvor-
ixblo Inlluencc upon the market. London was n
purchaser of St. Paul and n few other stocks to
it moderate extent. The principal advances , other

CATTM3 The flipply of cattle was fair
for a Friday , seventy-seven freah loads be-
Ins : 'reported In the yards. While no ma
terial Improvement was madp 'n ' ths market ,
the conditions were fully as favorable ns
yesterday and very satisfactory to the sell-
IIIK Interests.
AmniiK the cattle on sale was quite a
number of loads of dressed beef strers ,
rnnplnir from commonlsh llpht stulT to
choice heavy. The demand , like yesterday ,
was active nnd every ono seemed to want
cattle , both packers and shippers. It did
not take IOIIK to clear the pens at Mrons ?
yesterday's prices. As hlnti as $1.30 was
paid for one bunch of very choice steers ,
while there were others Rood cnotiRh to
bring $1 to $4.23. The weak close of the
market In ChlcaRO was not reported early
onoiiRh to produce any material effect upon
the market here , as most everything was
already sold.
Cows and heifers were fn active demand
and the offerliiRS met with ready sale nt
Just ahout yesterday's prices. As high as
$3 no wns paid for one bunch of choco : corn-
fed heifers.
Only a few stackers nnd feeders were
offered on the market , but what there -wore
sold at good strong prices. Representative
