SPECULATION SERVES TO KEEP PRICES UP

Half Oata.
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previously given was withdrawn tem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

NEW YORK, JHn. 20. 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.

CATTL.E There was a fairly liberal run
of cattle here today and the quality was
again on the common order. 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:

STOCK COWS AND HEIFERS.
1 T0 2 70
HOUS The hog market opened a big
nickel higher than yesterday, but trading
was confined mostly to the heavier weights.
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. Representa

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-COTTON Opened
easy at a decline of 1&6 points; cables were
unsatisfactory and the outlook for receipts
larger; the decline was extended to FViim,
points during the forenoon, then there wns
a covering movement which caused a reuc
toln from 2 to 8 points. 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

ANNOUNCEMENT
I have opened offices in Omaha under the management of
Mr. Williani K. Walsh, late manager of the E. II. Prince Com
mission Co., who will do all in his power to guide the public in
general on the "Famous Ked Letter" Line. 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.
