'I litre was a firmer feeling In wheat, in
fluenced by the higher cables arid the big
export business oi yesterday, ami a new
top notch was made on May at the start,
the opening being a. shade to U'diiO higher
at 81'V'''je. 'I nere waa a good demand
nrly and a large volume of uuslnesa waa
ransarted at the hiKher figures, but on
tumora that the big holder was unloading
there, waa a general scramble to get rd oi
li nn stuff, and aa a reault the price droio.i
treclpltous'y to K(4,c. At tne low polni a
uettcr demiind developed anil a react on
set In, the price rallying to 81-vc. The mar
ket waa very nervous the latter part ot Ihe
rj srlon and wart affected by the silantest
influences. The clone waa easier. with 4'id
c lower nt al'nc Clearances or wheat an. I
hour were eiiial to 142,4isi htisheis. Primary
receipts were 536.8IN1 bushels, compared witn
41J. bushei.4 a year ago. Minneapolis' and
jiuluih reported receipts of 3.:2 cirs, which,
with local receipts of 21 ears, 1 of rontriict
grade, made total receipts for the three
points of IttW cars, against 322 last week and
i21 a year ago.
Corn whs traded In moderately find th
undertone was easier, although the opening
whs firm on cables and on the strenictu in
wheat. Continued selling by commission
houses waa responsible for the weaker
leellng. May was a shade lower to a shnde
hiKher at the start, opening at 447Ac to 4.ic,
' und sold between 444" and 4ac, the clone
being '.41 V lower at 44V. Local receipts
were 409 cara, with 1 of contract grade.
There was only a light trade in oats and
the market was dull and featureless. The
uncertainty In the wheat situation and free
selling by some of the big scalpers caused
weaknees, and the close was easy, with
Iav Vg'Hie lower at 3844i36'r. after selling
between Wi3fiic and 36' jc. Local receipts
were 22 ears.
I'rnvlstons were strong early on lighter
receipts of hops and Arm prices at the
yards but Inter on commission house sell
ing of Ma' lard and ribs there was a reac
tion and most of the early gain waa lost.
The close was about steady, with May pork
unchanged at tl6.S24. May lard was 24o
lower at 19.60 and May ribs 244!Ac lower at
. "tj 9.224-

Market Again Colorless and Sales
Less Than Any Day Thla Year.
NEW YORK. Jan. 23. Today' stock mar
ket was entirely colorless again and tho
level ot activity fell below that of yester
day, which was the lowest since the open
ing of the year. News developments were
without perceptible efTect. 'there were
some professions ot anxiety over the Vene
zuelan situation, accompanying the opening
selling, but this did not prevent the market
from recovering when a demand for E:io
developed. Tht bewildered room traders
seemed eager tor any sign or leadership
and ready to tall on to any nascent move
ment. None of the day's movements was
long lived. It Is possible that the Vene
zuelan situation is an Influence on this dull
ness, but the caanes of hesitation of spec
ulation are1 probably deeper seated and
have to do with the general outlook over a
long future range. The signing yesterday
of the Panama canal treaty brings into
definite form the exchange problem ln
volvd In the requirement tor the payment
lor account of the United States govern
ment to the Panama Canal company of
$40,000,0u0. It has been suspected tor some
time that preparations were making in the
exchange market to meet this requirement,
but exchange authorities express the opin
ion that the symptoms attributed to this
are due to other causes and that the ar
rangements for the transactions are yet to
be made. The recollection of the disturb
ance to the exchange market caused by the
payment to Spain 01 the $2o,0u0,0O0 indemnity
provided Dy tne treaty 01 fans gives great
Interest to the present transaction, espe
cially on account of the delicate balance
now maintained In . the exchange market.
It was remarked with Interest that there
was some falling off in the export engage
ments of wheat today, following the rise in
price of that cereal. The delayed arrival
of, the steamship St. Louis was offered to
explain last week's decline in dry goods im
ports, so that this week's additional de
crease la the more notable and interesting
In the effect upon the exchange market.
Wabash stocks were weak today on reports
of new friction with the Pennsylvania rail
road Interests. The strength of copper,
both In London and here, was a help to
Amalgamated Copper. The renewed buying
of Erie gave some hope of resumption of,
activity Dy pools, but the market made
little response. St. Louis and San Francisco
relapsed sharply, with denials of yester
day's deal rumors. The languid demand for
stocks made an advance seem eo hopeless
that the traders turned to the short side of
the- market and prices fell sharply below
last night In the active selling movement of
the last hour. The decline was accom
panied by rumors of unfavorable Vene
zuelan newa received at Waehlngton. The
large gains in cash by the banks, both
from the Interior and on subtreasury opera
tions, promised a rise In reserves of nearly
$7,ow),0uo. There may be large loans to fig
ure in that Item of the banks.
There was a report current thai after
noon of $35,000,OtiM loan having been nbgo
tlated by the Pennsylvania company. The
market closed steady near the lowest.
BoT?dB were Irregular.
Total sales, par value. $2,840,000. United
States bonds were unchanged on call.

Forelgra Financial.
LONDON, Jan. 28. Money was fairly
easy on the market today. Discounts were
weak on the figures of the bank returns
and increased expectation of an early re
duction of the bank rate. Rates, however,
are not expected to go much lower In view
of the heavy .revenue collections until the
end of the quarter.
Business on the Stock exchange was on
the verge of stagnation. Consols were
easier. Home rails were weak, particularly
the heavies, dividends being mixed. Amer
icans opened irregular and recovered a
fraction, though btuainess was narrow.
They closed steady. Kafllra were lower.
Gold premium at Madrid, 32.72.
PARIS, Jan. 23. Kaffirs opened weak on
the. bourse today, but the stocks on the
official list were strong. Foreigners were
heavy at first, but recovered. The shares of
the new Panama Canal company rose on
the signing of the treaty between the
I nlted states and Colombia, providing for
the construction of the canal. Credit
Lyonnals was in lively Inquiry, owing to
the extent in which that concern Is In
volved In the Panama canal Interests.
Later the official list reacted. A feature of
the day's transactions was the recovery of
'Rio tlntos on the sharp rise in copper. Moat
of the departments were strengthened and
firmness prevailed at the close. Kaffirs
closed with an unsatisfactory tone, due to
the uneasiness regarding the labor supply
of South Africa. The private rate of dis
count was 2 13-16 per cent. Three per cent
rentes, loof 7Vc for the account.
BERLIN, Jan. 23. Internationals were In
good demand on the bourse today, Argen
tines and Spanish 4s being particularly so.
Banks were maintained. Mines relapsed
on profit-taking. Canadian Pacific was
harder. Exchange on London, 20m 49pfgs.

CATTIE There was a liberal run of cat
tle here today for a Friday, and buyers
took advantage of the opportunity to pound
the market a little. They claim that they
have been paying too much here for their
stuff as compared with other points, and
for that reason they were anxious to get
this market in line.

HOOS There was only a moderate run
of hogs here today, and under the Influence
of a good local demand Ihe market opened
strong to a nickel higher. The hum of the
medium weight hogs sold from 8.&5 to 6.S,
and the prime heavy hogs sold frtm $.)
to $(5.75. The light weights went f-o-n 6 .i5
down. As a general thing the better weight
hogs were a nickel higher, while the
lighter hugs were strong to 5c higher.
Trading was fairly active on the more de
sirnhle loads, and the bulk of them was
dlHpnsed of In good season. As !s gen
erally the case, though, the lighter weights
w-ere neglected, and were largely left until
the last. There was no particular change
In the market, though, from start to finish,
as the late sales were Just about the same
as those made early In the day. A fairly
early clearance was effected. Representa

SHEEr-There was a smaller run of
sheep and lambs here this morning than
arrived yesterday, but the demand did not
seem to bo In as good shape. The market
started out slow and weak, although some
sales were made that looked about steady.
As a general thing, though, buyers were
bidding weak to a dime lower, and as sell
ers were holding for steady prices trading
was not very active. Western lambs sold
as high as $5.75, but they were In prime
condition. Ewes brought $4.10 and wethers
$4.80. The close of the market was, if any
thing, a little weaker than the opening.
There were not enough feeders offered to
make much , of a test of the market, but
anything desirable could be quoted steady.
