Ituports of iIuniiiKO to the Argentine crop mid iinoxnoctcd strength nt Liverpool In I ho fuco of a ? io ilecllne hero yesterday started wheat strong.

May was bid uy I a 71 3-Sij7Hae. Traders who had not Hold rails were largely in the majority , however , and c'.imo Into th pit with moro wheat than the shorts could absorb. Under this ardent Killing the opening streiiKth quickly evapo rated and the price of May dropped back 1o 70',2C ' Chicago received 109 cars , of whlcli < lx wcro graded contract. Hecelpts In the iinrthwcst were 413 cars , nsalnst W last week and 1133 a year ago. The seaboard flcarancoH were liberal tjlS.OOO bushels , but not heavy enough to Impart bullishness to the market. Liverpool was Vid higher and New Vork reported llfty boatloads sold fur ' .xport The news and conditions of a bull ish nature had little. iiillueoee , however , ind the only matters to Impress the crowd were probabilities of Argentine and Ilmslan phlpmeiita on a liberal scale In the near fu ture There was a dearth of outside trade nnd about the only support the mark ° t got on Its downward course came from holders fit put privileges.

NEW YORK , Jnn , G.-Pcrslstent bear pressure ; today caused much stock held for a rise to be thrown over , resulting In a con siderable | break In the specialties and a do- cllno < of about 1 point In many of the rail way stocks. The market was broad and unusually nc tlvo during the liquidating process , London was a seller on balance. The variations In the early quotations here were small , but nn unsettled feeling goon set In on evidence , that many of the specialties which Imvo recently been market leaders showed lack of support. There wcro temporary rallies , one at about midday , bringing prices back to yesterday's clo. lng llgurea. Chicago ap peared to bo a moderate seller , while. Wash ington houses seemed purchasers. At one time or another pronounced strength end material advances were shown by Colorado Southern , Plttsburg , Cincinnati , Chicago & St. Ixjuls , Southern Pacltlc , Mobile- & Ohio , Western Union , Colorado Fuel and Iron , Rubber , Tobacco , Sugar. Chicago CJas , New York Air llrnko nnd Manhattan , although the advance In the. e stocks was partly eliminated , while In the case of Manhattan and Chicago Gas they declined below yes terday's close In the heavy liquidation of the last hour. Wheeling & Lake Erie and Ontario > t Western wre also strong spots. The weakness of the spwlaltles , Including New York Air Drake , which lost an early rise of G points , and Urooklyn Transit , which declined 56-S ; Federal Steel and Chicago cage Gns , each receding 2 points , was a feature In the late decline. A disquieting feature also nf the late trade was a sharp advance In call money , which Immediately dropped back , however , to normal llgures on the appearance of a considerable supply. AVestcrn Union's strength was nccompanl.d by gossip that nn agreement hail been made with the Postal Telegraph company regardIng - Ing rates. Talk about the possibility of a rival rellnery clo'lng down because of the unprofitableness of present business was simultaneous with a rise of 3 points In Sugar. Considerable Irregularity prevailed In the bond market , speculative Issues favoring a lower level In sympathy with the. course of stock prices. Total sales , $5,000,000 ; United States 2s , registered , and the 6s , coupon , ad vanced > 't nnd the 3s nnd 5s. registered , 1-S : the old 4 , registered , declined 1-S In the bid price. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says ; The markets hero were dull this morning , but brisker In the afternoon In sympathy with a better tone in Paris. Hpanlfh 4s spurted to IS'.ii Anacondas reached 67-8 bid , with large op tion dealings. Calls to end In January were U ; middle of February. 5-ltl , and February 2S , 3-8. Copper rose 15 shillings ; Americans uero bullish early , but In the middle of the day the continual demand caused a sharp rise. Louisville < fe Nashville and Wabasli preferred wcro favorites. The close was llrm.

Totals 911 S1U9 3741 CATTLE-Somethlng like thirty-five loads of cattle were reported In the yards and of Hint number 11 vo were to packers. When U Is considered that these cnttlo were of all kinds It will be readily understood that there was hardly enough of any kind to make very much of a test of the market. The market , ns a whole , was In good shape for the sellers and values IIP a rule were strong , so that practically everything sold at prices that were entirely satisfactory to shippers. There.vas only one bunch of good cattle In the yards. They were natives nnd sold very readily at $ > .30 , which looked like a , strong price. Other pretty decent short- fed cattle brought $3 , but the most of the steers In the yards were only warmed up stuff , .lust the kind that no buyer want ; ? or will buy unless forced to It by the scarcity of better cattle. The market on warmed up cattle Is always iinsalisfactory. Sometimes they bring more than expected. because of a shortage of other and better cattle , but many times when the buyers are so llxcd that they can they are neg- lected. . and sell In a way not at all pleasing to holders. Desirable cows and lielfers brought good steady to rtrong prices ) and bulls , stags , etc. , were just about steady. The demand was very fair and the offerings for the most part changed hand" In good season and at prices entirely satisfactory to the sellers. Few stoekers and feeders were to be found In the yards and they brought good steady prices. Some western calves sold at $ llS5. Represi utntlve sales : No. Av. Pr. No. AV. Pr. No. Av. Pr. 1. .

Pr. 10S calves , mixed 293 4 & 5 HOGS Todays Iiog market was about 2'ic higher on heavy and butcher weights i and active at the advance so that practically everything on sale changed [ j ; I hands at an early hour. A few prime heavy . brought $3.55 , good heavy , $3.50 ; good heavy mixed loads generally , $3.I7' , < > . Light hogs did not show much Improve ' ment , as the low priceat which jmrkers 1 are able to secure assorted light at Kansas flty tends to keep the market down on that kind , and shippers must bear In mind that light hogs no longer command a premium In this market over heavy hogs. Prime light nnd butcher weight hogs sold for the most part at $3.17' . with a few loads nt $3.50. Fair to medium lights and light mixed sold largely at $3.45 , with I trashy mixed loads still lower. Today's advance carries the market to the high point of the we-k to diit" . and to the highest point reached tdnco the close of last week. It seemed rather strangp to have an advance on the tup of the break In the provision market , but the light re ceipts consequent upon the low hog market thn early part of the week evldi ntly stimulated free buying. There were no very large runs reported at any of the markets. Kansas City reported 13.WO head ; St. Louis , 7,500 head ; St. Joseph , 3,5 < r ( ) head. The receipts at this point were also light as will be noted from the table above , and of the number In there were four double decks of the cheap Kansas f'lty hogs shipped direct to u packer.
