K ' ClIICAaO, Jan. 27.-A1I pits on the Board of Trade went wild today, A stampedo In May oats, lorclng liquidations In ail mar kctH, pretscd prices downward In n an leky fashion and within half an hour from tho npenlnir May onts had dropped (Hfcc, "fllay wheat ITic nnd May corn lftc. Pro visions alHO wcro hit. Uood support and Jicavy buying brought back fomo conll ilenco and tho close snw u net loss In Way oats of only l'iftlHc, May wheat Ho m id May corn Jc. Provisions closed 10 tV,ic lower. Action In onts developed so suddenly and with such surprisingly disastrous slumps that traders were overwhelmed In the tur moil. Tho trouhlo was all over an attempt by a bear clique tn raid tho holdings of .lames A. Patten, something llko 10,000,000 bushels of May oats, I'atten was not pres ent early on the lloor and the weakness of Saturday scorned to glvo a good opportun ity for the attack. May oats opened llrm enough, under the Influence or tho cold weather and strength In other grains, but this only inado the subsequent dropping of tho bucket-bottom tho moro surprising. May started Mc higher to-unchanged at UUflitc. Home small purchases sent It up -vcn to 44'hc. Then began the onslaught. Tho tailors began throwing stuff overboard In big lumps. Tho early tratlo lld not ex pect heavy operations nnd began to gasp ns prices slid off. Then the bears took courage and sold short, liquidations on an mormons scale followed and prices slipped nwiry almost lo at a sale. Traders from ,tho other pits dropped tho work In hand nnd hurried Into oats. 'Change went mad with excitement. Traders said there was n panic If there has been sueh a thing ulnco ISM. May struck bottom nt 39Uc Then I'atten camo Into tho pit. told the crowd tho selling was not for his nccount .and began to buy In all pits. Mav ns quickly Jumped backed to IS'iC and tho turmoil was practically over within an hour from tho opening. Thero was still a tense feeling present and prices wavered all during the session In n nanlcky fns.hlon. Tho closu was very weak, wtftV.ka lower at 42''7f421,ic. Receipts wcro 112 ears. Wheat started out firm In splto of lower cables and bearish statistics. Tho cold weather had set traders to guessing and May opened unchanged to Ho higher at 7x,,0?7S-e. This strength was only short lived, for when oats brnko everything ctso broke with It, In twenty minutes wheat had dropped lic nnd was selling nt 77c. Krlghtetied holders and weak speculators -with small margins had been forced to liquidate to stop losses. Ruytng by shorts helped matters materially, anil with tho becking of the coarse grain collapse May wheat reacted well. At ono time shortly before the close May sold at 77THi"Sc. Tho Hose was comparatively tlrm at 77?ic 'Jo lower than Saturday. Ixicnl receipts wero 13 cars. 2 of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 2S0 cars, making a total for the three points of .H2 oars, com pared with G0! oars last week nnd 678 last year. 1'rlmary receipts were 673,000 bushels, compared with 741,OoQ bushels a year ago. Uroadstuffs on passage Increased l.lGs.Ouo bushels. Tho world's shipments, excluslvo of India, wero 7,263,(100 bushels, against 7,20.1,000 bushels a year ago. The visible supply has Increased 100,000 bushels. Sea board clearances In wheat and flour quailed 643,000 bushels. The seaboard re ported thirty loads taken for export. Tho early strength In corn, nttendant upon tho cold weather and early wheat firmness, was soon lost In the downward movement In oats. Some of tho loss was recovered, though not enough to give trad ers much hope for future prices. Tho sen timent was bearish and support seemed wanting, even on the upturn In wheat. Cables wero lower to start, but It was tho oats break that did tho trick. May, which onened a shade to UWio higher at GVMf fil'&c, even sold up to B2',ic, but then came he drop," n very, hard one, to 00ic. Trad ers began talking 60c corn and there was imminent danger of tho slump growing worse. Shorts wanted profits nnd thoy covered hurriedly. Wheat was going up agnln nnd Mny corn responded to the ln lluenco by touching 61c. Aftor tho first hour It was- a wnvcrlng market, most of the time unclor file, and tho closo was weak, lower at C0i'fG0c. Receipts wero only SO cars. Provisions suffered sorely from the grain plump. Tho hog mnrkot was fairly steady tn start with, but later In tho day prices were somewhat easier at tho yards. This fidded to tho terrible fear, for the result of tho conrso grain break started holders of provisions, especially pork, to selling. May pork nt ono tlmo was C7!4c under Sat urday's closing price. Packers tonU nd vantago of prices to buy some, but the effect on pork prices was not very strength ening. Lard and ribs rallied toward tho closo and wero only a trlflo wenk. May Jiork opened 22Hff27&c lower nt J16.15jnG.30, Fold down to $15.70 nnd closed very weak, r.7Uo down, nt 1)6.80: May lard closed lOW J2Hc down at n.37'iOn.40, and May ribs 15c lower at $8.40.

Mnrlcct Is In Somnolent Condition nml Money Ilntes Rein v. NEW YORK, Jan. 27,-Thcro wns no re lief from the scml-stngnnnt conditions of speculation In stocks today. The stiffness of money rntes. which persisted for somo tlmo after thu turn of tho year haa yielded entirely nnd tho ordinary borrower Is able to obtain money on call on very easy terms. Returns of gross earnings of rail roads, which begun to come In today, for the third week In January show gratifying lncrcnses over last year's high level. To day's break In the grain markets, while due to n condition of over-speculation nnd attributed ostensibly to tho largo move ment from other countries, wnrrants a presumption of. promising condition for our wlntor wheat crop, upon which much hinges. Theso considerations wcro powerless to animate the stock market. There Is 11 very general agreement that the ultimate decision of the legal standing of the Northern Securities company Is the thing really nwaltcd for the next general move ment In tho stock mnrkct. There Is also Importnnco attached to tho dellirlto shap ing of tho government's llnanclnl opera tions. Legislation for the reduction of tho revenues on tho ono side or for special gov ernment expenditures on tho other nro studied with great attention, owing to their bearing on tho market supply of money. Tho stiffening of the discount rato in London nnd the advance In the price of gold may be a symptom of re newed demand for gold from that quarter that England Is ohvlously striving to mako Its rato effectlvo In tho market In prepara tion for tho coming government loan. Of tho special movements In today's market whlfh gave It Its wholo character, that In Amalgamated Copper was tho most con spicuous. Raw copper was advanced for tho Ilrst . tlmo sluco tho uttempt to maintain tho price wns abandoned by tho Amalgamated Copper company. Tho gain which resulted today for Amalgamated Copper was 14 points. The ndvance In tho price of lend gave strength to the National Lead stocks and American Smelting. Tho United States stocks wero lethargic. Thero was a desultory speculation In sugar with n llnal net gain of a point. , Notnblo gains In Chicago & Eastern Illinois. New York, Chlcugo & St. Louis stocks, Cleveland, C. C. & St. Louis nnd Rock Island preferred wero without explanation. Tho market closed dull nnd Arm. There was a cessation of last week's nctlvlty In a number of seml-speculatlvo bonds nnd the mnrkot was duller and Irregulnr. Total sales, par vnlue, $3,023,000. United States 4s advanced U per cent on tho Inst call. .... The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says: The buoyancy of Kafllrs absorbed all attention In tho Htock market on this, tllMr settlement day. Despite the big speculation In theso shares Contangos wero rather easier nt 8 per cent. The general markets wero cheerful on tho wnr news. Consols were heavy early on the rush for now Issues, and tho fact that tho London vcounty council will presently bo announcing a 3.000,000 Issuo at 3 per cent, but they hardened later. Thoro Is an unconllrmed rumor that Lord Kitchener Is negotiating for peace with General Dcwet. Americans were lifeless nnd sagging, desplto tho Now York bank statement nwaltlng n decision on tho Northern Securities suit. Tho Bank of England Is tightening Its grip on tho money market. Gold Is quoted at 77s 10-d; on Pnrls4 demand. Tho following nro tho c'.ostng prices 011 tho Now York, Stock exchange: Atchison do piu Bnl. & Ohio .... do pfd Can. Pncltlo .... Can. Southern .

There vere only Just n row cars ot neci steers Included In the receipts this morn ing, nnd nu buyers were out early and wero all looking for supplies, It wns not a dttll- cuu mniter tor sellers to gut goon strong prices for nnythlng at nil desirable. In some cases sales wero mado that looked considerably higher than the same kinds sold lor at the closo ut last wceK, qui there wero so few cattle on salo that It could not ue said that a fair test of the market was mado today. There was also nn nctlvo demand for cows and heifers this morning, and owing to the Ight receipts the mnrket was strong nnd everything was out of Ilrst hands at an ccrly hour. Somo sales were made that were unuouDtcuiy nigner, dui at mo snmo time the market Is probably best described by saying thnt owing to light receipts trade was active at stronger prices. Bulls, veal calves and stags nn com manded strong prices where tho quality wns nt all satisfactory. There wero only a fow stockcrs and feed ers tn tho yards this morning, and as coun try buyers were scarce, not mnny cattle wero wn.lici. xne lew inai were oneren thnt showed quality sold at fully steady prices, but there were not enough on salo tn make a lest of tho market.

A CHANCE TO WIN A FORTUNE. The Oil Fields of Texns und Cnlifornia Yielding Great Returns to Investors An Opportunity of a Lifetime. NORTH AMERICAN CRUDE OIL COMPANY, COMPOSED OF MEN OF NATIONAL REFUTATION, MAKING GREAT PROGRESS. A great flnnncler once said: "Vigilance In watching opportunity; tact and doing In selling opportunity: forco and persistence In crowding opportunity to Its utmost of possible achievement theso nro tho mar tial virtues which must command success. No greater opportunity was over presented to the American people thnn the wonder ful oil Holds of Texas and California. Just think of gushers spouting forth 80,000 bar rels of oil per day being a common thing on Spindle Top Heights. An opportunity now presents Itself which will undoubtedly mako largo proilts to all who tako advan tage of it. This great opportunity Is tho offer of tho treasury stock of tho North American Cmdo Oil company at CO cents per srare. Thero Is no Investment In the united States today which Is moro certain to bring results than nn Investment In this company. Thero Is no other oil company in this country, with the strength and prospects of tho North Amerlciin Crude Oil company, whoso stock Isn't selling at twlco as much: .... This company Is organized for 1 million dollars, which consists of 1 million shares, par valuo 1.00 each, million shares ol which are set aside us treasury stock. The stock of this company is fully paid nud positively non-assessable. Tho company has acquired the oil rights of B.00O ucres of land upon twenty-year leases In tho oil belt In Sonoma, Santa Clara and Snnta Cruz counlles, California, also having somo of thu choicest holdings on Spindle Top, Rcaumont. Tox., Its land being Just 200 feet from tho famous lleatty gushers. Tim entire country Is familiar with tho holdings of this company, and the magnl tudo of Its development work In tho two great oil fields gives promlso of enormous returns. This company's well on Its California land Is down 800 feet, so closo to produc ing wells that oil In quantities Is almost a certainty. It Is drilling also on Its Kplndle Top, Tox., property, whero a gusher Is guaranteed. Tho moment cither ono of theso wells "comes In" North American Crude Oil company's stock will go, up with a rush. To got It now at COc per shure Is tho clnnce of a lifetime. Recently tho North American Crudo Oil company formed un alliance with the Fuel Oil Marketing company of Rcaumont and Kansas City (which lias ti capital of 3 mil lion dollars), whereby thu latter company In to market tho entlro output of tho North American Crudo Oil company's Texas well. This Is an Immense niivuntngo for tho North American Crudo Oil company, as all acquainted with tho conditions of tho oil Industry will recognize, Tho directorate of this company are promlnont business men nnd men of na tional reputation.
