CHICAGO , Jnn. 16. Both Bides found en
couragement In today'H wlient news , but
the foulli ilnnlly Knlncd control of thu mar
ket and after many vicissitudes May
closed at U@Uc advance. Corn left oft
UtJ'4c ' higher and oats closed unchanged.
1'ork and ribs gained 2',4c ' each and lard EC.
A heavy shrinkage- the output from
JlUBslu. and Danublan ports for the Inst
. week started wheat strong. May opened
UG-Tso higher , at 71 ! > ; if71V4c , and met with
eucli heavy covering by shorts , together
with buying for the long account , that In
n few ml mites the price reached 71c. The
next matter 'to receive attention was the
prospect of an Increase In the visible , Indi
cations of which began to appear when the
result of stock-taking at the various centers
was made known. It looked at ono time
'ns If the Increase would amount to 1,000,000
bushels and on that probability May gradu
ally sold down to 70c. As the Increase
jirovod to bo but 1)77,000 bushels , a shade of
confidence again commenced to diffuse Itself
throughout the pit and May was bid up to
? lff714c. Chicago received 220 cars , of
which II wore graded contract. Minne-
npolls and Dulutli receipts were 782 cars ,
ngalnut 633 for the correspondlns day of
Jast year. The quantity afloat for Europe
was reduced 1,010,000 bushels since last
Monday. Argentina advices were of an cx-
Iiortablo .surplus of 63,000,000 bushels of
wheat of good quality and as the aggregate
receipts of wljcat at western primary mar
kets amounted to 017,000. ngainst 622,000 bush
els a year ago , the bears had an Inning
end May was forced down to i'ii70T4c. ' .
This was uiu'cr puts and Immediately
etarted buying by holders of those privi
leges and with the help of a few outside
tniylng orders May gradually worked up
to 71Vic , with many changes between 71c
fellers and 71&c bid. The cash demand
licre was slow and Atlantic port clear-
nncos of wheat and flour were placed at
478.000 bushels. Liverpool and the conti
nental markets closed strong in the /aco
of an Increase In the Kngllsh visible supply
of 1,601,000 bushels. Toward the end the
longs showed a desire to Increase their
lioldlnga and us the shorts were anxious to
obliterate their record , May was bid up to
714S71c ! and remained at that llguro until
the close ,
The strength In wheat and receipts away
below estimates started corn firm. The
Advance , however , met with heavy selling
! > > a prominent shipping concern and the
market soon turned weak. Local stocks
showed an Increase of 034,000 bushels for
the week and the visible supply lncreacd
2.427,000 bushels. Receipts were 958 cars.
Scattering buying gradually developed n
eteacly feeling and In the last fifteen min
utes the market bscame strong and touched
the highest prlco made near the start. May
opened J/4c higher , at 37 > 4c , declined to
EGTfic , and after being at 37c , sellers , most
of the day , It suddenly shot up to 374c } and
closed at 37K < Er37'4c.
Ortta started firm with the other grains.
Prices eased off for awhile on heavy sellIng -
Ing , but when the offerings were finally ab-
norbwl the market turned strong and closed
near th ? top for the day , Receipts were
large. 530 cars. May opened. % c higher , at
27if28e , declined to 27c. then firmed up
to 27'fi27T6ct ' the closing price.
Provisions opened strong , but there- was
considerable more for snfo than appeared
to bo wanted for a while and prices de
clined to a trifle below Saturday's level.
Near the end of the session the publication
of last week's shipment of meats was so
lieavy as to Induce enough buying to cause
n. rally all around. May pork opened Be
lilghrr , at $10.20 , rose to $10.2214 , declined to
JI0.07VS , then recovered to $10.17 % at the
close , The range In lard and ribs -was
email.

OPKHATIO.VS l.V STOCKS AND HO.VUH.
TrnniinctlonN Avnlii Itcncli the Million
Share Mark.
NEW YORK. Jan. lO.-The week opened
with transactions again reaching the mil
lion share mark , resulting In Irregular net
changes , losses prevailing. London , It was
estimated , sold altogether 75.000 shares here ,
nearly half of that amount In the flrst
quarter of an hour. There was no new
In the market of any Importance. Standard
stocks were In heavy demand In the fore
noon , all the grangers making new records
for high prices. The evidence of support to
leading stocks was followed by bursts of
strength elsewhere after a period of hesi
tancy In the early dealings. There was
a rise in Federal Steel on the continued
Eood demand for Iron products , but the
advantage gatnid was not fully retained.
Among other specialties in which , renewed
Interest was displayed were Metropolitan ,
Consolidated Gas , Leather preferred and
American Steel , while Air Brake made a
sensational advance of 17 points. The Pa
cific stocks were weak all day. The. heavy
London Belling was of assistance to many
hoard room traders In bringing about n
reaction In the final dealings , although
early In the day , when prlcss were offered
down , there was an Increase of buying In-
etead of selling orders brought Into the
market. It was in the last half hour that
practically all of the earlier gains In the
niarkct were lost and In a number of shares
the prices were carried sharply below Sat
urday's close , especially In Union Pnclllc ,
Northern Pennsylvania , Louisville , Manhat
tan , Southern preferred , Omaha , nnd Kan
sas & Texas preferred. Previously the
market had been rather quiet on declines ,
hut the greatest activity today was toward
the close , when prices ran off. Among the
coal dealers , Readingflrst and second pre
ferred suffered about a point. Heavy liqui
dation In Lake Erie & Western prefcrrerd

The Commercial Advertiser's' Lopdon
financial cablegram says : The markets
hero today were active and good , though
the closing was Irregular. Americans be
gan strengthening and remained ilrm , with
Erles till New York opened , when the
bears sold freely , causing a temporary re
action. There was good support , however ,
and the close was near the top. There was
an active Interchange of buMness , but It is
still noticeable that the public Is realizing ,
though the market is bullish to a man.
Coppers were hard. The fortnight's sta
tistics show stocks down 718 tons , and sup
plies down 718 tons. Money was unlend-
able. Eighteen thousand pounds starling of
gold In bars was brought by the bank ,
which has also secured the bulk of the
African parcel at 77s BVid. There Is no de
mand.

CATTLE The. receipts of cattle were very
light today , only thirty-six cars being re
ported In tha yards. However , the cattle
received were all on sale , so that the offerIngs -
Ings were more liberal than on some days
when the receipts have bean much larger ,
but with heavy consignments direct to pack
ers. The market as a whols was In satis
factory condition as regards values and any
changes that may have taken place were OH
the side of better prices.
There were between eight and ten loads
of cornfed steers umaiiK the offerings and
the market was reasonably active so that
everything changed hands early. There
have been so few fat cattle here for some
time back , and at th ( same time prices
have been rather uneven , so that It Is not
always un easy matter to make exact com
parisons. For that reason there Is a wldo
difference of opinion among sellers , soms
calling the market steady and others lOc
higher. The truth Is that both were right ,
the market was strong to lOc higher. Ono
thing they all agrco on Is that fat cattle are
selling a * high or higher than any tlmo
this season , the decline of last Tuesday
having been all made up. Mo'rnover the
market can safely be reported as 23c higher
than the low day last week. Some pretty
good cornfcds brought $5.10 this morning
und other very fair cattle sold at $4.75 < Jf5.00.
Cows and heifers were In good demand and
brought steady to strong prices , the supply
blng foon exhausted. Bulls and stags
were steady and the same was true of veal
calves. ' '
There were a few stockers and feeders
In the yards and the market on good feed
ers was strong and active. Just at present
the demand seems to be for feeders , cattle
with some weight , whllo light stockera art
not going as well as they did a short tlmo
ago. Representative sales :

HOGS The receipts of hoes were small ,
as uiual on a Monday , though somewhat
larger than last week. The market was In
good shape and most everything1 sold In
KooA season. The prices paid were strong
to 5c higher , but , as the proportion of
lltrht mixed and common loads was some
what larger than usual , the unles do not
show the full strencth of the market. The
llsht mixed loads sold largely at $3.5003. ( > 2Vi ,
as against $3.453.50 on Saturday. The
heavier mixed loads went at $3 SSH'SS.SG ' ,
whlla the long string Hold at $3.0 at the
close of lost week. The top was $3.60 ,
which was paid for pretty deoent heavy
weights. While the trade could hardly be
characterized ns active , owing to the de
termination of sellers to get all the market
would stand , everything was disposed of In
good season.
It will bo noted from the table of average
j > rlcen at head of column that the week
opens with values 7 > , c higher than they
wcro a week ago , but close to 5c lower
than they were on Monday two weeks ago.
The average price paid for hogs one year
ago was $3.47. two years ago $3.22. thre < s
yearn ago $3.66 and four years ago $3.88.

larger than at the close of last week ,
twenty-ono cars being reported In the yards ,
which was the largest run since November
21. In fact there we.ro more cheep than any
thing Plso In the yards and the chief in
terest of the day was centered In the sheep
tarn. Th ! market was In pretty good shape
and as a rule entirely satisfactory to the
selling Interests.

lambs , were In artlvo demand and changed
