the fort at Kan Carlos by German war
vessels. It Is believed the least consequence
of this must be to obstruct tne progress ot
the settlement of the dispute between
Venextiela and the pow-rs, which has been
a source of uneasiness In the securities
market ever since it became acute. Tn.'1
reports from Washington of a positive atti

the part of ths American government of
fered the possibility fo the Imnglnatlon of
traders of more direct complications on our
own part In the quarrel, it was more evi

Some special weakness was shown by the
New York public utilities, owing to the
agitation of the franchise tax question and
the difference of opinion disclosed aa to
the application of the adverse Judicial deci

from last night ran from 1 to 14 points in
the speculative leaders during the morning

CA1-1 i.M Recelots of cattle were not 111
all excessive thrs morning owing to a good
Jocal demand, 0 that the market ruled
ictlve- and stronger from start to finish
on all desirable grades of killers. The
quality of the offerings aa a whole was
tully aa good as yesterday, which helped
out the trade to quite an extent.
There was a good active demand for
beef ateere and the more desirable grades
could safely be qaoted stronger. As high
as $6.10 was paid, 'which was not only the
top price of rhe day, but for several days
past. Cattle changed hands quite freely,
eo that an early clearance was made. The
commoner kinds were, of . course, not aa
ready sellers and probably in moat cases
did not sell mush if any higher than yes
terday, but at the iime time tne feeling
waa undoubtedly Deuer, as Duyerw tooa
hold with more life than they did the first
of the week. ,
The cow market waa also active and the
market could be quoted strong to a dime
lilcher than yesterday. Trading was qjlte
brisk on an Kii'.as irom cannrrs to too
best cornfedn. The big bulk of the re
ceipts consisted of cow stuff, but still there
did not seem fx be any too many to meet
tho rccinlremrnts or the local traae.
The bull market continued very dull and
In fact sellers found it a difficult matter
to dispose of them at any price. Packers
apparently have very little demand for
that class or stun ana as receipts nave
been quite liberal of late they have about
all they need for the present. Veal calvoa,
though, were In good demand at fully
ateady prices. -
The stocaer ana ieeaer marmi um uui
have the snap to It that was noticeable
yesterday. The quality, though, waa very
inrorinr which undoubtedly had a great
deal to do with the lack of activity. Specu
lator all claimed tnat mey were anxioua
for good stuff and the few bunches answer
ing to tnai aescription i-umiiiniiumi chums
T - K, tvim KMmirmn kinds were verv
slow sale, with prices no mora than ateady.

HOGS There were not aa many hoga
hrre today ne arrived yesterday, but re
ports from other points were unfavorable
to the selling Interests, so that the market
eased off a little. At the start the decline
amounted to about a nickel, but toward
the close the feeling became a little better
on the good weight hogs, so that the
market closed a little stronger' on that
clase of hogs. The bulk aold from $S50 to
$6.00 and prime hogs sold aa high at $8. 8b.
The light weights sold largely from 86.0O
down. After buyera and sellers got to
gether trading was quite active, eo that
an early clearance waa made. Representa

SHEEP There was tust a fair sized run
of sheep nnd iambs here this morning and
the market opened active and fully ateady.
The quality was good, so that the market
on paper looks higher. Mexican yearlings
from the same feed lot as those that sold
yesterday for $5.10 brought So.20, but they
were prime stuff and the packers ara
anxious for them. Western lambs sold up
to $6.60 and western ewes $4.00. A little
bunch of native ewes brought $4.40, but
they were better than anything that haa
been here in a long time, uwing to the
active demand everything that arrived waa
disposed of in short order, but several
trains were late, so that the market waa
prolonged until late In the day.
There were no new developmenta In the
feeder situation and the market could be
quoted unchanged.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-COTTON-Opened
ateady at an advance of 3t4 points, cables
being strong, with large activity reported
at Liverpool on account of Egyptian spec
ulations, some placing the total of their
purchases In the English market at 60,000
bales. There was a further advance pf 142
polnta on the more active positions when
It became Apparent, that public buying or
ders were not of large volume and the mar
ket commenced to sag, a decline of 54P7
points from the top ensued. Thy weakness
was Increased by the indications that re
ceipta would exceed early estimates. The
early estimates polned to port receipts of
28.000 bales for the day. later estimates In
creased the fl (fores to 29,000, the actual
total was 28,538 bains, against 32,111 last
year. The amount of cotton to be brought
Into sight this week Is variously estimated
at, from 290.000 to 330,000 bales, close esti
mates being ImposHlhie. by resann of the
fact that a large estimate of cotton la pre
pared for shipment abroad without cer
tainty aa to date of shipment. The, selling
waa assisted by encouraging reports from
Fall River and the dry goods trade, with
certain lines of cotton goods reported to b.
scarce and tending upward. The market
