CHICAGO , Jan. 31. This \vns n. day of
fcAllzIng on long wheat. Not only that ,
lint short so'.lcrs , who for n few ilays had
watched like a cat nt n inouscholo for
a move on the .part of the longs In the
above directions flooded the'ra.irkot with
tliclr offcrlnffs. The > prlco closed nt a de
cline for the day of ? Jc per 1m , Corn nnd
onts nre enoh a little lower In nympathy ,
and provisions moved up a little.
Wliont.was affected at the openlnR very
much ns It was at the same time on the
tfny before by heavy receipts at Minneapolis
nnd Dtiluth , while higher quotations from
Livorttool started Iny nt from C3 > < c to
CDc , ns compared with from 05&c to CTc
nt the close yesterday. After a further
decline to C5c the prlco becnn to re
cover n aln and rose In a very short time
to G0'c , or about ns high as It Rot on the
previous day's bulRC. The ndvnnce was
clilefly duo to the bullishness of the wheat
situation , ns set forth by the 'Liverpool
Corn Trade News , which estimates the
wants of the ImportlnK countries for the
whole season nt 48,0X,000 ) Im. , against avail
able supplies of 23C.000.6oo Im. , and says
that the deficiency of 72,000.000 bu. can only
tie mailu ( rood by reducing the nmount nllont
to Its lowest possible limit and using every
nvnllnb'.o buhel In Hussla nnd America.
The trading was nctlvo for nbout nn hour
and a hnlf tlurlng the nuctuatlons recorded
above nnd the market bad nnother rnncc
over the same ground , but after that It
qulclcd down for nn hour for want of nny-
thlng further of nn exciting character. The
prlco meantime bad worked down around
6Ec , and did not for some time get away
fiom between that and Go'Jic. ' Tenter the
market began to fcol the weight of the
sales which had been made nt around CGc
and by 12 o'clock It bad begun to wear a
very dejected appearance. In half an hour
Inter It bad declined to C3c sellers , or Hie
decline from the highest point It touched
earlier. The stocks at Minneapolis and
IuhiUi nre estimated to have Increased
000,000 bu. this week , nnd New York stock
to hnvo decreased 750,000 bu. The prevail
ing Impression with regard to the visible
supply for the week was that It might show
n small Increase , or at least a. very light
decrease , nnd probably the heavy operators
were Iniluenced by that In selling" ns freely
as they did. IHislness was very much
nmnllcr than on the previous days of the
week , nnd , na on the day before. It was
largely on the local nccount. The closing
figures were nt from PMC to G3V&C. practically
the lowest of the day.
The corn market followed the course of
* .he fluctuations In wheat , being strong early
nnd weak later In theclay. . The weather
Is making country roads very bad nnd
lighter receipts In the near future are ex
pected.
Iluslness In oats was quiet , nnd no new
features wore developed. Outside of a small
nmount of liquidation , trading was almost
at a standstill.
Provisions were irregular , opening firm
and aflcr a weak spell becoming strong
with closing prices moderately higher for
the day. The general Impression In the
nit was that soon after the opening the
Cudnby brokers were the chief bidders for
the product , hut nfter they had jollied It up
they became heavy sellers.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : wheat ,
85 cars ; corn , 433 cars ; oats , .200 cars ; hogs ,
9,003 bead. .

HIDES AND TALLOW.
Tlio Chicago packer hldo market ! is on the
down Grade , according to the Shoe and -Leather
Review , but the brakes are'working and the
packers haven't lost control. The' decline so
far about represents the actual deterioration of
quality. The dlillculty of obtaining ready money
Is the moat powerful deterrent at' the present
time. The banks are hoarding their money to
back up their bids for the bond Issue , and there
will be Ilttlo relief until the successful .bids are
announced February 15. That enough money Is
being held back 'to undenvrlte the bond Issue
several times over Is universally believed so
that the moment It Is known whose bids are
accepted thena will be a pronounced relaxation
of the monetary' stringency and loans will be
easy to secure. It will bo remembered also
Hint a pronounced revival of confidence nnil busl-
IKSS activity followed tlio last bond lasue. It
Is , therefore , quite
natural to expect the mar-
ketii to continue slow nnd waiting until Febru
ary 13 , when , unices nil signs fall , there will
IMJ a general commercial revival. Two large
Lngllsli leather buyers nro In New York this
week , nnd the Influence of their purchnses will

nnd a large spring trade Is still hoped for.

of Increased consumption this year. Experts In
January have beeci Co per cent less , spinners tak

larger , but spinners' takings nnd exports were
both smaller than In 1892-93 , Irom a crop of

attributed mainly to manipulation of particular1

NEW YORK , Jnn. 31. The news of tlio agree
ment made yestcrdny by the ntithrnclte conl
presidents nad the thorough appreciation of the
Important results likely to follow to both the
companies interested nnd to the general public
were reflected la nn unusual Interest In the stocks
of the conler group today. In fnct , the stienglh
displayed was the nominating factor of the mar
ket , nnd stiffened the cnllro list. Irregularity
marked the cairuc of the speculation , but under
the Influences noted n strong undertone pre
vailed as n rule. Foreign buying lent n stimulus
to the dealings , nnd good Judges detected signs
that the speculation was In powerful and ex
perienced bunds. Tlie general matKet opened
mm , with the coalers overshadowing the other
stocks Itv anlmntlon. Heavy buying orders were
executed In them , sending New Jersey Central
up 3 % pcr cent , Reading , 1 % per cent ; Susuue-
hanna & Wratein preferred almost 2 per cent ,
and the other coalers Important fractions , Tlie
buying movement waa noon succeeded by a rush
to take profits , nnd n general decline ensued.
The reaction wns accelerated by a determined
drive against Sugar on rumors of probable un
favorable leglslatloa regarding the existing dlf-
fcrentlnl. The stock fell I" ; per cent. New
Jersey Central yielded to the extent of 1 % jier
cent , and other prominent shares nbout a point.
Around midday Die bull lever was turned upon
tlio nppearance of the foreign buying orders and
a general rally was Inaugurated , In which the
top figures of the day were recorded. Manhat
tan was marked up 2 per cent. Houses with
lloston connections were free buyers cf General
Electric , which gained . .l'per cent , causing
a revival of the rumors oftra deal between that
company nnd the ASVstlnghouse company. A
spurt In Lead wns bnsea"upon a" story thnt the
dividend on the common fVodc to be considered
about the middle of February would be at nn
Increased rate. The disbursement for the Inst
quarter was 1 per cent. , , .No contlrmntlon of the
rumors was obtained. The Improvements In
the other shares were * AlMf notable , particularly
In Southern preferred/ Lake Shore nnd Sugar ,
nnd the grangers. Apvai vnnco In call money
to 6 per cent wns ncitrupfavorably reflected In
prices , owing to the appreciation of Its probable
temporary duration. The'J higher rates were
caused by the preparations unaklng by the banks
for bids for tlio new/ [ government bonds. The
new Issue was offered ioo.Ttbe street today nt
114 sellers , ISO lint. The" market closed active
and strong at the best prices , with matcrlnl
gains general , "Includint7"J6 per cent in New
