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.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Whent,

MOVEMENTS IX STOCKS AMI ItO.NDS.
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.

CATTLE -Tho recelnts today of cattle
wero extremely llcht for even a Monday.
as n glanco at tho table of receipts abovo
win snow, xnero were, oi course, noi
nearly enough cattle to meet tho require
ments of local packers, so that tho few
killers on sale met with ready sale at
stronger prices, nnd everything was out of
ursi nanus in good season, ine laiiing on
In tho supply was explained by tho snow
storm and by tho sudden drop In tem
perature. .
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. Anything
common was neglected, the samo us usual.

SHEEP Thero was not u very hcavv run
of sheep hero today, and several cars of
those that did como In wero sold to ar
rive. Packers seemed to be quite anxious
for supplies, and as n result tho better
grades sold freely ut Just about steady
prices. A bunch of prlmo Colorado lambs
sold ns high as JtUU. nnd ewes brought
$4.00. Somo yearlings thnt wero sold to
arrive brought $3.10, but there were no
prlmo yearlings offered on tho market
today. Taking everything into considera
tion, tho general mnrket could not Io
quoted anything but stendy.
Thero was not enough feeders In the
yards today to mako u test of tho market,
but It Is safe lo say that anything good
would have brought very satisfactory
prices.

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
