IHK'AUU, Jan. Wheat, corn, oata and provisions ruled firm today; May wheat closlns; 1'i,c. May corn Sc. May oata Vo ic and provisions 15i2iVc over yesterday. The strength .e iierally seemed to be due to speculative activity more than to any chanK In the situation. In I lie wheat market, ne usual, the hnnl of the Interest termed the "leaillnR long" toil M be wen. May wheat opened c to 'i'ii'Se lower at 7iHij71n.ec. numerous small holders unloading under the Influence of the unresponsive attitude of the Liverpool market to the strength on this side yester day. Their u (Term (rs, however, were readily absorbed by the bin operator men tioned, and In consequence May rallied early to ltr. At thla price the support previously given was withdrawn tem porarily and the "leading long" was re ported to have unloaded approximately JnO.onO bushels of May on the upturn. With the added incentive of liberal receipts and weakness In northwestern marl.ets the crowd uuickly pressed the price down to 1840. At this decline support, influenced somewhat by reports of talr export sales and a decrease of 2,500,000 bushels In the world's visible, became more general and 8 rally to i9c. ensued. The upturn met liberal liquidation, with little hesitation and the close was strong at the top price, 7!)' W4c over yesterday. Ixical receipts were 63 cars, 8 of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 3M cars, making a total for the three points of 427 cars, against 397 cars last week and 408 a year ago. Primary receipts were 718. 0U bushels, compared with 464,000 the corresponding day last year. The corn market opened easy on liberal country acceptances, weak cables and favorable weather. Later the market turned firm and fairly active on recelpta, smaller than expected, and the report that an Influential house was supporting prices. A good cash demand was a contributory factor in the strength. January was espe cially In good demand and closed fyc higher at 4iS". May sold between 4'iNc and 44V.C and rinsed Sc op at 44V.o. Receipts here were 618 cars. Oats opened easy on liberal receipts and country acceptances, but turned firm on covering. IJIeral selling by a prominent house checked the advance lor a time, but later the buying movement became gen eral, and as offerings In the pit were llcht prices advanced. The wheat strength was the main bull Influence. May sold between Sn'ie and and closed HSc over yes terday at 36c. Ixcal receipts were 3S2 cars. Provisions were dull but firm on the ad vance In hog prices and smaller receipts at the chief receiving points. May pork closed 27H" higher at 8111.724, May lard 15c tip at ta.t2Mi and May ribs 2oc better at 8H.224. Kstlmated receipts tomorrow: Wheat. 35 cars; corn, 320 cars; oats, 200 cars; hogs. 4Ufl head.

The opening ac tivity In stocks today was on the selling hide and seemed to be due 10 operations by room traders, haped on the weakness de veloped at the close yesterday, bui sup purilng orders were encountered which put a stop to the efforts of professionals to force prices lower by offering stocks which In case of sale they would have to borrow for delivery. On the other hand the buy ing orders were placed on a scale down ward for the most part, and the recovery came to a etop for lack of motive power. A spurt In stocks In New York public utilities helped the recovery, the decision of the appellate division of the court at Albany against the constitutionality of the New York franchise tax being the reason for the buying of these stocks. It has been cliarly expected that the decision would be nvainst the tax and the effect had been discounted for two weeks pa3t by buying on the, confident assumption that the re r i It would be as announced today. This movement consequently spent Its force al most Immediately. The market fell back Into a deeper rut of idleness than at any time sluice the first of. the year. Yester day's few strong spots were lacking. There was realizing In Chesapeake & Ohio owing to denials of yesterday's rumor that the company would take over Hocking Val ley. The latter stock showed some strength on account of consultations known to be In progress by Its officials, presumably Icoking to the disposition of the road, ac cording to the authority vested in the de positories of thu stock. Amalgamau! Copper rose nearly a point at one tlmo on the ground of a rather vague confidence that conditions In the trade were much Improved. Great Northern preferred suf fered In common with Northern Securities on the curb from distrust of yesterday's rumbrs of a coming Increase In the divi dend rate. There was much discussion of the action of the secretary of the treasury looking to the resubmission of government bonds for the state and municipal bonds accepted as security for government de posits for the money stringency last fall. Bankers were inclined to view It as a suggestion rather than as an order and as designed to facilitate the contraction of currency, now that funds nre flowing back to the reserve centers. Just as his avowed purpose last fall was to encourage expan sion of bank note circulation while the de mand for circulation was growing. The ad vance In prices of government bonds was evidence of a purpose In some quarters at feast to procure bonds from the open mar ket In order to ho able to keep out note Issues and to retain government deposits. The prospect of gold exports was a con tinuing Influence in speculation in stocks. The persistent apathy of the demand for sleeks led to a late .selling movement, as was the case yeste'day. and the market closed weak and at the lowest in the midst of the largest activity of the day.

The market, though, was In fairly good shape and the prices paid showed very little change from yesterday. The quality of the beef steers In particu lar was Inferior, and nothing at all choice was offered. Packers, though, had to have a few cattle, and while they did not, take hold with much life, still they paid right around steady prices for what was on sale. There were not very many offered, though, so that the market soon came to a close. The big bulk of the receipts consisted of cow stuff, and the market was fairly active and Just about steatly. . The quulity of the cows was comparatively better than the steers. Canners and cutters, though, were In as good request as the better grades, so? that ttecers nad little trouble In making an early clearance at satisfactory prices. The bull market was again very slow and waa certainly no more than steady. The demand for that class of stock has been very light for the last Beveral days, and sellers have had rather a hard time to find an outlet for their arrivals. Veal calves, though, sold readily at good, steady prices. The supply of e.tockers and feeovrs was not very large and the market held about steady on anything at all desirable. The common kinds were neglected In much the same way they have been for some little time. Representative sales: BEiSt BTE.Ji.Ka. NO. 9 10 ... 10 I......... 40 n 12 t t 17 IS 11.

In some cnees the prime loads sold ss much as a dime higher. Packers, though, did not take hold of the medium and light weights wi::-i much life at first, but they finally bought the bulk of them about a nickel higher. As the morning advanced the feeling seemed to grow weaker an4 the closo w slow, with a govd part of the advance lost. The lightweights sold largely from $6.40 down. Medium .weights went largely from $6 40 to $6.50. while the prime heavy loadn sold from $6.50 to $6.66. Owing to the weak close. It was late be fore a clearance waa made.

Renewed liquida tion of long account and, as alleged, re newed pressure, brought to bear agalnt the market by a certain Wall street party carried the market quite steadily downward from this point until a net decline of 641 10 points waa apparent; the market was finally steady at a net decline of 4'dl0 points. The parties who were selling in the local market at the present schedule of discounts shown by the future delivery list are doing so largely on the grouncf that the market, hav ing had an advance of over lc, labors under the burden of an over-extended long inter est at a time when receipts appear to be expanding; today's Indications are In that direction and sekjlng for short account waa conducted with considerable confidence; the buying was by a good class of opera tors, who preferred to attribute the larger receipts to the purchases by nplnners anil exporters made on a substantial demand for goods; total sales estimated, 26o,0oo bales.

My exclusive wire sys tem, Omaha to Hoatou, touching Chicago and New York enable the westerner to buy or sell as quickly and successfully as though he was on the scene of action. My commission charges on grain are half the rate charged by other brokers in Omaha, being 1-1G the round turn. Again, the Chicago open' Itoard of T". de, the association of which I am a member, accepts No. 'A wheat, corn and oats on No. 2 contracts, allowing the difference to be paid in cash in the export price of 4he No. 2 and No. 3 grain. This will eliminate corners and false manipulation. It will open up a market to the country shippers that they have been pray ing for for the last fifty years, beginning Monday next the fa mous Ked letter will be wired to my Omaha office promptly after the clone of the markets and published direct. This will enable the people of Nebraska to invest and speculate mi advice that is never wrong. This letter, whk-h is acknowledged au thority by all great financiers and financial writers, has done more to promote a bull market in farm products than all other such issues combined. I will be pleased to send this Ked Letter thirty days on trial to any address free. Tor further information regarding our facilities at Omaha ntldress us promptly. GEO. T. SULLIVAN, Room A, .
