Corn nnd mils each closed ViOViC higher and provisions unchntiKcd to 15c blither. That Liverpool did not fully reflect the decline of 1'Jc hero yesterday was the cause of u moment's firmness In whent at the opening, which was Uc hlpher for May, nt 75 V to 754c. Tho came old stolic-llbcrn receipts anil slack outside support , -was still fastened about the market s neck nnd the llrsl half hour saw n drop bi .4Vt1';c tinder fairly liberal selling. The sollltiK pressure waH weakened lout? enough for a recovery to 74!ke, but trade was dull and this attempt at recovery wnn soon aban doned Hid a relapse to .lUftWe occurred. During the lust fifteen minutes Mny rallied sharply to 75c, at which the market c oscd, flV4e lower. This rally was duo mostly to moderate covcrltiK by shorts on a market that had been sold to a standstill. Their buvlim was based partially on the report of exporters that 10! loads had been taken for foreign shipment and partly on a desire to take profits, as It was believed the foreign sab-n had been mndo nt reduced prices and that much of tho grain was of inferlor nualltv. Heaboard clearances In wheat and Hour were equal to M7.00O bu. Primary re ceipts aggregated 4H.1.W) bu.. compared with MS,!! bu. n year ago.

Cora was Independently strong the greater part of the session, ulthough prices declined a little early In sympathy with tho wheat weakness, The high price of hogs, coupled with buying by provisions Inter, ests, the light country movement and the continued poor grading of receipts were the ruling factors. There wiih little or no elevator selling nnd a good rash demand, although business was as usual hampered by lack of cars. Hecelpts were BID cars, none of contract grade. May sold between 37V nnd 3o and closed liflttc higher at Oats also exhibited Individual strength, at no time showing more than the slightest attention to the wheat weakness.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-The state of mind of the speculators today was that of extreme nervousness. The cloud of distrust was somewhat dispersed during the course of tho day und prices, were laboriously lifted to ii level above last night, but uneasiness recurred In the late dealings and tho mar- aei ciosen witn urgent selling in force ami with violent nnd disorderly breaks In n number of Important stocks. The excessive confusion of the price movement dtirlnir the enrlv nart of tho dav served to put speculators long of stock In. ii mine or iiewiiuernieni. lucre was uoui and powerful manipulation used to support prices nnd to dissuade holders from selling. Tho extreme dullnecs Into which the mar ket fell after tho early selling movement had been checked was proof of tho suc cess achieved by this maneuver, but when It began to nppear that the marking up of prices had been simply for the purpose of nffordlng n market to realize on the pres sure to sell becamo urgent nguln, lending to the final break In prices, The price movement was so Irregular and mixed ut nil times ns to defy any closo analysis. The opening weakness was most mnrked In the steel group and the conditions among the grcnt steel corporations continued to exnlto grave uneasiness during tho session. The conviction Is taking form in specula tive circles that n war between tins HtcU companies Is dangerously Imminent, which, If It tomes, will demoralize earnings In tho trade. Manipulative support was effective In purls of tlie list nnd Sugar, People's Ons, St. Paul, Manhattan nnd a number of the Paclllc and Southwesterly were lifted from 1 to 2 points. Then support wus ac corded to tho steel stocks and the princi pal members of tho group, Including Fed eral Steel, Tin Plate, Steel & Wlra nnd Smeltlnir. were lifted nburnly nlwivn luxt night. Meantime, there was realizing In tlie railroad list nnd prices generally fell nway mere, wnn occasional exceptions, widen wero held up us u support to the market. In the Html slump the whole list fell ugaln, with very few exceptions, below last night, Thero were such violent breaks as 4i In Ilultlmorc & Ohio, 4Ji In .Manhattan, 3? In Brooklyn Transit and Oreat Northern pre ferred. 3i In Sugar nnd 21 In St. Paul nnd New York Central. Mnnv of tho railroad stocks wero nt tho lowest when the market closed. Tho statement of President Hill of tho tlreat Northern that he had never owned n. share of St. Paul stock In his life had u greatly unsettling Intluciico on speculators who have worked In the convic tion tnut Ht. Paul had passed to tho con trol of the Orent Northern nnd Northern Paclllc. Tho declaration of n 2 ncr rin dividend on New York, Chicago & St. i.ouis preierreii, wnero nil tun way from l4 to 6 per cent had been confidently predicted: a readjustment of Ideas us to a lurgo milli ner or anuiogous cases ami tun denial or tho rumor that Metropolitan Street Hall way hnd leased Manhattan upset another lino of speculative calculations. Tho tnonoy supply continues super abundant, but the growing belief that n notable outward movement of gold hns be gun served us an additional drag on the market. Tho bond market was rnther nnlet nml Irregular. Tho total sales, par value. $2 J2."i.. 000, United States bonds wore all unchanged on i no nisi can.
