Liverpool wan n decided faetor In whca
at the opening. Opening nuotatlonH In Urn
r.iarkot were all t'.iu ' way fioni Id to US
higher. At the same time It wan know
that the amount of wheat on ocean passag
linil decreased very heavily and that th
world's shipments to Europe last week
were Hanill. Heerbohm's called the decreas
on passage 3,410,000 IAI. nnd the tola
amount put alloat for the week , 4,000,000 bu
"With that to start wlt.i , wheat , wlilcl

Some of this Hi'lllng came from otil.Mld
points , notably St. Louis , and was Inllu

the winter .wheat . district , allaying grcatl >
the fears of damage to that crop from ( If
creasing after the almost un-irei-odeiitcdly
mild weather that haa prevailed. ChloiK <
receipts were 03 cars anil 2,000 hu. were In
jipected out of store. Minneapolis and Uu
luth got only 301 cars against MS on th
corresponding day of last year. The world'
Hhlpments last week Ihially reported wer
C.2UI.UUU bu. against 3S71.000 bu. the wool
before and 0,021,000 bu. the correspondlni ,
week last year. The visible sup
lily showed an Increase of 20Sm
bu. Instead of a decrease of ahou
that much. Closing cables were vcrj
linn wlt'.i Liverpool at a total gain o
2il since It cloed Thursday last , Londoi
C < l per quarter higher and llorlln H { . mark
higher. The market here , however , wn
kept down by steady selling out of long
wheat , a great deal or which during the las
hour was caused by several bank failure
] u the norUnvest. The price of .May llnal'.j
pot down to 8'Dic and closed easy at Si74r : <
Me.
Me.C'orn opened n shade better In sympathj
with the better tone In wheat , but luriu'i
weak as the leading cereal declined. Trad
was light , with but little from outside
tourccH. May opened a shade higher a
from 2.T > iC to 2Cc and declined with cevnra
Iluetuatlons to Sf&u , where It closed.
Liquidations was the order of the day It
oats. The market opened steady , but ne.ik
ened later In sympathy with wheat and 01
the decline several good sized lines wen
disposed of. The visible supply showed at
Increase of ( ilSOOO bu. , which had sonu
effect. May opened a Phado higher at IWT
l T ( c. sold between 10 ? iiI'JTtc. closing cas.\

Provisions wcro rather tnino nnd ap
peared to bo as much under the Inllucnce
of the wheat lluctiiatlons. as were other
grain markets. Packers wore moderate
j-ellers and long pork and ribs were like-
ivlm said to have como upon the market In
small lots. At Kio cloe May pork wns 12'/.c

NEW YOHK , Jan. 4. The stock market today
wan dull and Irregular , with n lower tendency.
The forenoon trading wns slow , nllhough the
grangers were n trifle less sluggish than the
general list. Lsiwcr Ixmdon prices nnd foreign
stiles stimulated bear aggression , but the mar
ket received effective support lit Intervals , nnd
coveringwns quite nppnrent In some of the
spcclnltlili. Around 1 o'clock the market i-uld
off sharply on the announcement of the SI , 1'nul
bark failures. The bears were nlso helped by the
prevailing unenslness regarding possible congres
sional action on some Important Hnnnclnl ment-
urcs. General Electric wns Inilucnced by prollt-
taklng nnd declined IH per cent. The large c-
curliy holdeiu In 1:10 : lending shares conllnue
to augur hopefully of the Immediate future of
ihe market , owing to the hlgn price of and
shnrp foreign demand for wheat , the exception
ally Inrge accumulations of funds , expectations
of reviving general buulnctn and the easier ten
dency of money nbrond. The bears lay stress
upon the absence of outside Interest , the Kink
failures and dullness of general trade. The
closing was dull at net fractional losses for
many shares.
The railway nnd miscellaneous bond markets
showed n decided tendency townrd n hlg'.ier
level on Investment purchases , The , large imms
of money distributed for Interest and dividends
are finding employment In the high grade Is
sues , resulting In material Improvements. The
sales were Jl.ST9.OuO. Governments wen ; dull ,
lint strong. The irnnMnctlonn were J3.000.
The Evening Post's London financial cable
gram says : The stock market opened good
geneinlly today , but gave way Inler nnd closed
distinctly under the best In the absence of pub
lic support. Argentine national stock and Ar
gentine rails were exceptionally booming up to
the clofc. Consols were eauler. The conlnn-
goes were 2',4 to 3 tier cent. Americans responded
lo ihe rise In New York , but the tone wns In
clined to be dull nnd It wan rather iv seller's
mnrltet. Mines were lower. About 200,000 In
gold wns boimlit today In the open market for
Jnpnn. The 1'nrls bourse wns tlrm , although
money In dear nt the monthly rvttlcment. Tne
Uerlln market was sleady. Discount rules nre
falling there.

CATTLE The results of the storm In the
country were plainly reflected In the very
light cattle receipts , the lightest for a Mon
day In a long -while. There -were not cnougli
cattle In the yards to really make a market.
There was not n. load of cornfcd beeves
and only a few head , odds and ends , hut
they sold at good prices , and had there
been enough here to amount to anything
the market would probably have been fully
lOc higher.
Cows and heifers sold at good strong :
prices and the wxmo was true of feeders
and stock cattle.
