CHICAGO GRAIN AMI PROVISIONS Keatasres of the Tradlag and Closing; Prtees on Board of Trade. CHICAGO, Jan. 2. Decreased shipments of wheat from Russia formed the chief cause for a llrm wheat market here today. At the close wheat for May delivery wus "P f"4". corn was practically unchanged Oats showed a gain of Vc. Provisions were unchanged to 2c higher. The market wus Mini for the greater part or mo day, tnere being at nrsi a siignti easier feeling, which continued only throtigr the first half hour of trading. This do cllne wa Induced by liberal receipts In tho nortnwest and local traders sold freely. The opening, civ. May .was. a. shad lower to a shade higher at K7'te to ttSc, and before tne end of the first half hour the prices I ad eased off to 87kfoH77.kc. Higher prices ut Liverpool, aald to be caused by smaller shipments from Russia and porta on the Danube, together with buying by leading bulls, brought about a reaction and prices made a fair rally. Many of the early sel lers becamo buyers and this aided In the creation of a firmer feeling. The total volume of trading, however, was not large the dullness of the holidays being still In evidence. For May the highest point of the day was reached at k8Vfrjgt4c. The close was llrm, with May at xc. Clear ances of wheat and flour were equal to 474. CM) bu. The amount on passage de creased 2,484,000 bu. Primary receipts were 1.648,000 bu., compared with 891.1X1 bu. one year ago, Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 866 cars, against 1,013 last week and 062 cars one year ago. Despite lower cables and liberal loca! receipts the corn market was steady for the entire day. There was some acmana by Influential houses, hut offerings were scarce and trading was small. large clear ances and predictions of wet weather for the oornbelt were the particular bullish in fluences. The close was steady. May evened unchanged to a shadx lower at mWO to 4yu44Sc. sold up to 444c and closed 444,c. Local receipts were sno cars, witn cars or contract grade. A lively demand by commission men caused a firm feeling in tlx nuts market. Offerings, which were light, came chlelly fram cash houses. May opened a shade lilirher at 32Uc. sold u u to XiUo and closet) at X.'S'hWc. Local receipts were cars. - Provisions were steadv and unlet. The trading of a prominent commission houe, which bought January lard and ribs and sold the May option on them both, was the feature of trading. A 6c advance In tiu price of live Iiokb lent strength to the market. At the c1om May pora was up :-c at II3.77H. I.ard and rilm were each unchauaed at 7.4; and IT 37Vi respectively.

Jan. 2. -The action of the stock market today Indicated rather more conservatism In the speculation than was the case last week, even while money rates were ruling at a loo per .cent level. The speculation made progress today and there was a broad and active market with plenty of evidence of strength. The strength, however, was In spots and the market showed a large degree of Irregu larity, due to press of profit-taking on some of the principal market leaders of laet week. The action of the market also showed the strain of maintaining the speculative position in the face of hopo deferred by the easing of money. The money situation today was apprecia bly less acute than last week, but never theless the market was undeniably stringent. The rate opened at 50 per cent and there was small disposition to yield below 36 per cent while the active oper ations were still In progress and belated borrowers made a late rate of 60 per cent. This was a distinct disappointment to the hopes of some of the boldest of last week's speculators. Many who took a slighting view of the Importance of a 100 per cent rate for one day or two days regarded with less equanimity the possi bility of a rate considerably less, although still high, should It be maintained for a period of days or even weeks. The money market was less affected today than was hoped by the large disbursements of divi dend snd Interest money for which pro vision has been making by the accumula tion of cash and by the release of sums gathered Into trust companies to strengthen their showing for the annual stntement. Such relief as Is to be looked for from these sources came promptly, and further relaxation which Is hoped for from other sources will come Into effect more slowly. The deposit at the subtreasury on Satur day of 32,000,000 for transfer to San Fran cisco proved a disagreeable surprise and helped to establish the credit balance of the government Institution at the clear ing house this morning, which amounted to 3231,400. Without counting this, the banks have already lost to the sub treasury since the bank statement f1.700.ooo, the customs collections of the government running to very large amounts from day to day. The government Interest payable January 14 was paid In anticipation on the middle of the month. The decision of the Treasury department to pay at once the government Interest due Feb ruary 14 provided only a small offsetting Influence, the total amount of this Interest being only f 1,700.000. The money situation In foreign markets, however, eased decisively. Discounts de clined at London, Paris and Berlin. Ster ling exchange rose at Parla and Herlln, and there was a sharp marking down In the price of gold In the London market. The Russian situation was considered Im proved and continental money markets were relieved accordingly. The course of money In foreign markets Is of Import ance to the New York situation, owing to the heavy sums borrowed from foreign lenders for the conduct of the speculation here and which fall due within the next few weeks. The facility with which these obligations can be renewed may have a bearing on the future of the speculation here. Now York exchange at Chicago, which has been ruling at a discount, rose to a small premium today. Some stress was laid on the fart that wagers on tlui mayoralty election In New York, which were held tip on account of the contest, were paid off today. Some special effect was produced on sen timent by the manifest pressure upon the United States Steel stocks, XTnlon Pacific and Amalgamated Copper, which were In fluential leaders of last week's advance. The recovery In the money rate on the demand from belated borrowers late In the day added to the disappointment over the small outside participations the mar ket induced general throwing over of etocka in the final hour, which carried the average level below Saturday and wiped out many of the earlier gains.

In the most of them early arrivals. This Is the largest number of cars received at this point since November 21. when sixty-six cars consti tuted the day's run made up entirely of killers, there being no feeders In sight, at least nons to amount to anything. Fortunately the moat of the receipts were of good quality. The statement made many times In these columns that there was a good demand here for desirable fat sheep and lambx was fully verified this morning when the re ceipts, though large, changed hands very readily, because they were the kind that packers want. More than that, they sold at an advance, the market being rtrong to loc higher than yesterday, or lOrJlfxs higher than last week at the very least. A few western lambs sold as high as $7.40, with yearlings as high as Pi. 30, old wethers at tO.OO and some native ewes at to 60 and Colorado ewes at ti.56. These prices were all paid for strictly good stuff. It may not he out of place to repeat the old caution about not shipping In anything as packers will not buy half fat sheep or lambs so long as they cad secure those that are better. If the coun try gets too anxious to realize and begins sending In Immature stock they can de pend upon breaking the market.
