CHICAGO , Jan. 20. Wheat sold for a tlmo
today nt 73c , marking nn So decline for the
week. It recovered , however , nnd closed
Blcndy nt nbout 3-1 fla decline from yesterday.
Disappointment nt the poor cash business
was the principal reason for the decline ,
the recovery being on the Rood export
business late In the se.-slon. Corn and oats
wcro Independently strons , advancing He
nnd ? ic , respectively. Provisions advanced
2&074c. !
Wheat opened weak In continuation ot
the approach to demoralization , which
characterized Its closing feature the day
before. It was rumored that n big line of
long wheat was hanging over the market ,
nnd fears that It would be thrown ovcr-
bbard caused u very wobbly beginning to
the day's business , und May , which said
nt 74c nt yesterday's close , opened today
at from 71c down to 7IKc. The first Ltver-
> eel cables which came In before the opcn-
} ng had shown declines of from Id to IHd.
Tills , however , was lookcit upon us merely
rencctlng yesterday's decline on this side ,
and any weakening effect which the. do-
cllno mny have caused was ncutrnl'zed '
when second cables cntno In showing a
" substantial recovery. This , coupled with
hto Hmallncss of the local and northwest
receipts , caused n better feeling , nnd under
liberal buying by shorts May advanced to
7o'ic. Flour commission men reported the
biggest demand from the United Kingdom
they have had In a long time , and this
was no small factor In strengthening prices.
, Chicago got 20 carloads , as compared with
H3 a year n go , nnd Minneapolis and Dn-
luth together received 1U1 cars , against 27rf
n week < tgo and GH on the corresponding
day of the year before. After "j'/Jc ' had
been reached , the market took a sudden
turn. On account of tno heavy drop In
price. , a good cash business was expected ,
and as the session 'wore ' on and this failed
to materialize , liquidation on a largo scale
act In. once more. For n time the market
was rnther demoralized under the heavy
offering , and It was not until 73c had been
recorded for iMny tluw n reaction took
place. Then the savior of yesterday's mar
ket , big export engagements , made Itself
felt , and the price went U' > almost as sud
denly ns It went down. It finally recovered
to 74ijj749Sc , which was the prlco as the
closing bell sounded.
Corn opened steady and ruled firm with a
very good business. It did not participate
In the- weakness of wheat , but a good de
mand from shorts existed , and as offerings
wcro light , thi ! market scored a substan
tial advance. May opened a shade lower at
2.Tlc. advanced to 2IV4c , and closed firm at
h 2i4xc.
Outs ruled higher , helped a great deal by
the strength of corn. People who sold short
yesterday covered their lines today , 4ind
had some dllllculty In doing so , there being
quite n scarcity of offerings. The market
was decidedly strong during the closing
hours. May'opened a tthndc lower at 17 % ®
I7VjC. and advanced to 18@c , closing firm
nt 18'/c.
Provisions ruled strong during the first
half of the session , owing to light receipts
of hogs , small offerings and some covering
by shorts. Realizing late In the session
caused tiomo reaction , but most of the ad
vance was retained , May porlc closing 7'/.c
higher at S7.S5 ; May lard about 2&c higher
fit $1 , and May ribs about 2'Ac higher nt

NEW YOHIC , Jan. 29. II , G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly lleview of Trade tomorrow
will say ;
January 1ms been a month of disappointment ,
but of real Bain. Nearly everybody nail prom
ised himself n lanil uf milk and honey utter
New Year's , anil ihe slow ft-ogre" looks like
standing still to men In mien a Male ot mind.
Moreover , there ale multitudes ttuaugliout.tlie
couniry who have been taking lnrno ventures
In advance or apart I nun their riKulnr busi
ness , because they expected n rise In prices.
Hut prices fall ns yet to brlns them lu-oilt.
Wheat has declined severely ; cotlon has scarcely
rlf-un eiioitRli to pay brokerage ; wool holds steady
In spite uf enormous buying , woolen goods hardly
changing * jitk-c ; iron anil Its products decline ;
leather is elugglsn , hides arc lower , for eoniti
shoe inamifnctiirers accept a simile lower price ;
the merage of railroad stocks Is slightly lower
than It was December 31 , and the advance In
trust slocks has been small. To trailers In such
properties the month has been dlsappolnllng.
Vet during the past neck the record shows that
ten Iron works liavo Marled and only two have
slopped , Ihlrttcn woolen works have starlcd and
nlno mure are uboul reudy lo Blurt , while Ihree
have slopped , Similar things me teen In other
Industries , and the additional establishments
are not starling without some Increase of or
ders received.
The decline In wheat was over 0 cents , In
splto ot an olllclal report of yield far below es
timates generally accepted , which reflects per
ception of the error of the report and also the
Influence of enormous exports of corn Instead
of wheat , S,0,000X)0 ( ) bu. In seven months. When
two bushels of corn can be had for less than
one bushel ot wheat It Is largely preferred
In Kuropean markets , and In January T.SM.IST
bu. of corn have gone abroad from Atlantic
ports , against 5.300,349 bu , last year , while At-
Inntlo exporls of wheat nnd Hour have been TV
Mi ; , 1TM bu. , against 8,403,7C3 bu. last year. As
the great crop of ourn prevents much advance In
Its price. Its outgo affects the demand for wheat ,
and a heavy liquidation of speculation has oc
curred , with the price of corn scaicely chang
ing. The largest nrtlrle of export nt this season
goes out freely , but cotlon looks Itus attractive lo
traders , becuueo American millers ore laboring
over plans to reduce u grout surplus of goods
and prices of many have declined. Tnl < lng * of
northern spinners have been In five months
41,000 bales IOFS Him last year and 423,000 bales
less than In 1S94-0.1) .
Sales of wool In January have never been sur
passed In that month nor In nny other month
except last November and July of mj nnd
1S92. In the earlier years suddeli demand for
consumption was the cause , but the tnci'caso
In orders for woolen goods was small In No
vember and had been small In January , com
pared with the purchases on anticipated pop.tlble
duties. The price has remained about steady.
Iron and steel show little KOln , production Imv-
Ing Increased so heavily before and the gradual
enlargement of demand for finished products
ha1 * not overtaken That Increase. Lower prices
result for llessemer pig. grey forge and for south
ern H on at Chicago , for angles and cut nails ,
and the average of all quotations Is the low-
eft since eaily last year. For sheets there Is nil
active demand anil heller nlso for bars , on ac
count of much car building. Tin and copper
ar a shade stronger , but competition causes
pales of tin plates ICc to 13c below Ihe agreed
price.
Failures for Ihe week have been S31 In Ihe
United States , against 410 lapt year , and C7
In Canada , against 70 last year.

Tlie market from day to il.iy has been n mere
affair of trades and thip iprlnclpal Intcresl was
afforded by Iho slock brokers lo depress cerlnln
stocks , especially som 5bf iie : nnlhraclle coil
road ? . Thil resulted In Infgularlty In the
quotations , but In spite of such Inlluences the
undertone of the market has been strong. Hie
general Impression In Hie street was that very
lltlle would be required to proiluce another up-
word movement In prices , Llnul latlon of Ihe
wenk speculative holdliv started a fortnight
ago , has been completed and stocks have pasied
Into strong hands , while a considerable fhott
interest hns been made , The bond market U
very strong , but Its activity Ims decreased ,
while the supply of good bonds , or of the heller
class of upeciilatlvc Issues Is greatly reduced ,
Thq new government 4s this week touched
113 > i. the htg.iest figures lhal ihey have yet
reached. London Is nol n factor on the Amer
ican market , and prices simply fidlow the New
York market. The street has paid lltlle nlleu-
tlon to Ihc foreign exchange slluatlon , or lo Ihc
break In rales early In the week. This seemed
due to the sclllm ; of some of the long exchange
held here on loans , which course was natural

The break , however , was chocked nnd rales re-
slorcd , Ihc exchange market prcsenllng Indi

NEW YOHK , Jan. 29. The utock market today
was more active nnd the dealings , aside from
Northern Pacific and Sugar , which ranked first
nnd second In. extent of trading1 , wcro fairly
well distributed. The course of prices was Ir
regular , with some rpeclal movements In n few
Btooltu due lo developments. The Northern Pa-
clfkK were decidedly strong features on n dc-
iiMiid for foreign account , based upon rumors of
Imprmllr.K alliances likely to strengthen the
syttciii Mid ixpectatlond of Improved earnings ,
nhe lomuion stock rose fractionally , w.ille the
prefcr.td Rained l i per cent , touching 35 % . A
favor.inle SMnpathetlc Influence on the general
list rr-culted , which served to offset a demon-
ilrdll"ii iigamsl llurllnglon by Ihc bears , which
was attended by predictions of a disappointing
Unti'iiierl for Ueccmber. The coal stocks on
moderate transactions wtro again prominent. The
l.ackawauna annual repott , shotting a deficit
of J509.2W after charges nnd dividends mil
coinings of only a lltlle over 5 per cent un Ihe
utoclc , as against the 7 per cent paid , stemmed
nn advancing movement that hud been In
progicss In the group. On llquldullnn and b < > nr
pressure Ihc stock declined 24 per cent , Mini
Delaware & Hudson mid New Jersey Central
5t per cent each. Substantial , but complvtu
rallies subsequently cccuned In the two llrtt
mentioned properties. The low-priced storks at
tracted considerable mt rcut. Long IU.ml
Jumped 41-4 per ci'nt to ' 'JVi on a belief lliat
Mr. L.lttIe'H report would cnnllrm the llsures
BUbmltled by Pieeldcnt Ilaldwln to the syndleute
and encourage the execution of ( Is pl.ins for
the development and exUnMon of Ihe pioprrty.
The bears again Eelectcd Manhattan for a npe-
clal target and foieed Ihe price down t i.cr cent
to SS'4. The railway shares generally moved
within narrow llmlls with an upward lendsuuy.
Hnllway bonds wen > unusually ncllve and In
the cases of some of the depressed teaurn ma
terial advances were scored , und notably In
Hocking Valley to , which rose nn extreme 10
per cent to 73 on the bemment of the coal war
announced yesterday. ' Su.snir lacked support late
In the day nnd dropped1 & point. This decline
and the weakness In , } the anthracite coal stocks
caused recessions In the general list , but a
rally occurred toward ' the close , which was
partly attributed to'lieuahnouneemcnt ! of a ie-
Unction In sterling cxclinngo figures. They left
oft steady nt slight net changes.
The bond market wis active on an Investment
demand for local mid foreign account. The
dealings covered n wide variety ot I'suos nnd
some striking gains were made. The sales were

CATTI.H The iccelpts of unttlf were
Kmull today even for a Friday , Iho offering ! }
being less than half what tney were a week
ago , and the smallest of nny ilay since
Monday. As to the market , there was no
very great change , either ! r. tile mutt-r of
demand or values.
The fat cattle hen ? worn nbout on a par
with those that have been coming of late ,
ranging all the way from common and half-
fat stuff up to pretty fair beeves. There
was nothing prime In the yards , anil the
quality of the offerings , as a
whole , was not such as to stimu
late freu buying. The market In con
sequence was not very active , and the feelIng -
Ing seemed to be a little easier , at the
s.une time values did not t > now any material
variation from yesterday. A clearar.ee was
effected In reasonably good season.
The market on butchers' stock was fully
steady and the six or scvon loads of cow ?
nnd heifers here all sold In good season.
The market on feeders , especially on the
heavy cattle , was a little slow at no more
than steady prices. It looks as If buyers
had come to thu conclusion that feeders
are too high as compared with fat cuttle
and that there ought to be a still further
reduction In value ? . At the same time
there Is a very urgent demand for feeders
in the country , and It remains to bcl seen
wbether buyers will allow their judgment
or their necessities to control the market
and fix prices. Representative sales :
