Market Itencts Attain, bu Recovers silahtly and Closes Irreanlar. NEW YORK. Jan. 13. The slock market tuaile a further reaction today and wis henvy or weuk during most of the session, but made some recovery dining the last hour nnd closed Irregular. The heaviness of the market had no better explanation tnan yesterday. Money advanced from 41 per cent at the opening to 6 per cent, but no difficulty was experienced In getting it and little attention seemed to be paid to the money oltuatlon by the operators In slocks. This was not true, however, of the foreign exchange market and the anxiety felt in regard to the development was due of course to the probable effect on money. Sterling exchange was In quite strong de mand today In spite of yesterday's heavy export of corn, and good hopes of continu ance of this outgo. London operations In stocks here were not on a large scale and did not Influence exchange. It Is believed that some hills are about maturing that represent borrowings abroad for New York account during the money stringency here last month. There Is a likelihood also that there let some accumulation of exchange to provide payment for French rentes, for which there is said to be some present de mand on Hccount of the American Insur ance companies. The effect In Berlin yesterday of the fore, snartowlng of a German loan was duplicated In lxndon today by the expectance of an early announcement of a Transvaal loan. These government operations ore the prob able explanation of the hardening of the money rate, and It Is believed that our ob ligations to forelan money centers are still sufficient to permit them to draw gold from us In case of neeu. This prospect would have a natural tendency to check wholesale commitments In speculation for a rise In New York. But yesterdsy'a dis appointing response from the general pub lic to last week's considerable and Inviting rise served to admonish the managers of the advance that little was to be hoped for yet from the public In the way of absorb ing securities which still remain In the hands of syndicates and promoters. Re newed strength In Erie and St. Paul this morning and vigorous support of Reading seemed to be designed to reassure specu lative sentiment, but when It was perceived that advantage was being taken of this sustaining Influence to effect large selling of Rock Island the selling was renewed throughout the list, and there was no lm- Sortant recovery until the last hour, when Innhattan was lifted 2 points over last night and Erie was run up again to the top level of the morning. Contributory causes to the heaviness were the steps taken In congress to Investigate the coal supply, fears of damage to earnings of railroads bv snow blockades and broad Intimations that no Immediate dividends are to be ex pected on Colorado Fuel, practically all leading stocks were a point or more below last night at one time and not all of them fullv recovered on the late rally.

Buy ers took advantage of the opportunity to pound the market, and as a result trading was rather slow and the day was well ad vanced before the bulk of the cattle was disposed of. A liberal proportion ot tne receipts tnit morning consisted of cornfed steers, and a number of bunches were of pretty good quality. Packers, though started In bid ding a big dime lower, and although sellers neia on ror some time in tna nopes 01 getting more money, they were finally obliged to take off luc and In some cases 15c. Trading was rather slow from start to ftnlBh. Other markets wero also quoted lower, so that prices at this point are still well In line. The cow market waa also fully a dime lower, and a good many aales were as much as 16c lower than yesterday. Trading was rather slow, as sellers were unwilling to take off that much. The decline affected the better grades as well as the canners and cutters, packers all seemed to have liberal orders, but they wanted to fill them at reduced prices. Bulls and stags were also alow and lower, but veal calves held Just about steady, there being none too many on hand to meet the demand. The stocker and feeder market did not show much change from yesterday. Good cattle were scarce and prices held Just about steady, but the break on fat stuff naturally made speculators rather bear ish on the less desirable grades of both stockers and feeders.

The quality of the hogs, however, was so much better today that the market on paper does not show the decline. The bulk of the hogs sold from 86 46 to 86.55. The better grades sold mostly trom 16.50 to t.55. with the medium weights mostly around 16.50, while the light hog sold from t 45 down. Although the mar ket was rather slow In getting started practically everything was disposed of In good season. Representative aalesi No. A v. Sh. Pr. No. A v. 8h.

Buyers were all out early and everything at all deoent changed hands In good sea son. As high as 15.76 was paid for fed western lambs, and 15. JO was paid for fed western sheeD and vearlinirs. It whs vrrv evident that packers were anxious for supplies, as the rv:eipts of late have not been large enough is fill their orders. Feeders were again very scarce and there was no quotable cnange in the prices paid for the few that arrived. Quotations. Choice lsmbs, $5.40(56.75: fair 10 gooa rnmos, eiwoo. 40; cnolce yearlings.
