futile by Clio support given the market by
the prlnoipul bulls, who took all offerings.
The mHrkcf continued nervous the flrat
half of the dav. but the liberal purchases
of the big holders gradually started cover

sharp upturns In the prtca of all deliveries.
May option advanced to and tha mora dis

of primary receipts, the total arrivals being
the smallest of the crop aided the bulls
in brinelne about tha rally. A better de

with prices at the top, final quotations on
May being 11.08 and on July 97c. Clear

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Period of Moderate Strength and
Weaknen Alternate in Market,
TONE SPOTTY AND X&REOTILAIl
Beatlmeat A mo get Professionals Is
Not Oatlaalstlo aad Evoats of
Day Aro Constroed lTa
favorably.
NEW TORK, Jan. IS. Tho atock market
today was of much tho aama character as
yesterday. Periods of moderate strength
and weakness alternated, and tho tone waa
spotty and Irregular at all times. There
was no effective demand In stocks to
mark an aggreasivo accumulation, but evi
dence of aomo support at a defined point
In a decline, gave the beara warning of
obstaclea to be encountered In too bold an
attack on values.
The sentiment amongst the professional
operatoro waa not optlmlstlo and tho events
of the day, while not of groat Importance,
were construed unfavorably. Tho response
of foreign markets to the news cf the set
tlement between Austria-Hungary and
Turkey was a disappointment. A decline
In private discounts both In Paris and
Berlin, a rise In London exchange at Paris
and a fall In the London price of gold were
reflections of the relaxed trnslon of the
situation, London discounts, however, con
tinued to advance and foreign stock mar
kets did not retain the benefit of tha first
shown news. The question waa left open
whether the financial prospect Is suffi
ciently cleared to obviate the call for an
advance tn tha Bank of England official
rata of discount talk. The date of the
Russian loan Issue was fixed for January
22.
Intimations were heard of a probable
disappointing showing for the forthcoming
quarterly report of the United States Bteel
corporation and the January orders re
ceived were said to bo disappointing. In
this connection the rate at which money
Is coming back from the country Into bank
reserves Is a disquieting evidence of a lack
of demand for it in the circulation. Cur
rent redemptions of banknotes by the
I'nlted States treasury for tho first twelve
days of January reached tho formidable
total of 120,000,000 and several days past
have run from $1,000,000 to $2,600,000. This
rata of reflux approaches. If It does not
equal, that which set In last year when
money markets first began to become
normal, hoarded currency to come out and
the lessened trade activity to pile up ldlo
reserves In the banka. with speculative
sentiment tinged with these views, minor
factors of ah unfavorable character have
Increased Influence and general conditions
rave the promising hue overcast. The oom
lng tariff controversy and the possibility
of its paralysing effect on various lines pf
Industry come into consideration.
Tha testimony In the government suit
against the Harrlman meraer and aaralnut
tho Standard Oil company and the passages
oeiwecn tne iew lork Traction company
receivers and the nubile aervlce rnmmlolnn
stir up the apprehension of speculators
over the possibility of a decisive occurrence
Unfavorable to corporation Irterentn The
clcslng of tho market while a brisk rally
was In progress again left the day'a
changes small.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par

CATTLB Receipts were quite liberal
again tody and the supply for tho three
days la about 1.000 heavier than for tha
first half of last week or tho correspond
lug time a year ago. While tho general
oharactor of tho oflurlngs shows very lltUo
change from day to diy, a few well finished.
King-led bmvea are begfhiung to arrlvo.
The market ureaented no nuw nr IntareaL-
Ing leaturea Una uioriung and for tho most
part prices wero Just aooui In yesterday's
notches. Anything that waa good enough
to bring out full competition found a reauy
sale at ateady to airong prices, while tha
Bliort-Ied. anu warmed-up grades aold aome
what unevenly. The trade was a little
slow in starting, but waa reasonably active
when once unaer way and a good clearance
was nuulu by noon.
Activity and strength continued to char
acterize the trade in cowa and helfera and
wlih a broad outlet for desirable offerings
prices nuled strong or Uian yesterday and
me movement was bruiit at the auvanco.
On tile other hand the outlet for tha com
mon and canning grades has not Improved
any and the prices are pretty much tho
aume as tney nave been of late.
Both yard traders ahd country buyers
were aotive bidders on the cattle that
showed quulity and weight, but the market
wus slow and unevenly lower on tho gen
eral run of light and medium weight slock
cattle. There la little Inquiry from any
source for tha common, light and medium
weight stuff and It Is difficult to dispose
ut mem even at aomewnat snarled prioes.

HOOS Contrary to expectations of ael
lers, the market thla morning did not
prove very satisfactory as general condi
tions seem to favor. Packers evidently came
to the conclusion that values were being
pushed up mora rapidly than tha situation
seemed to warrant and consequently ware
decidedly slow in getting to worn thla
morning. Shippera and speculators took
a few hogs early at prices around 10c
higher than yesterday, but outbid a of these
the general market on good stuff could
not be quoted above 6'ul0c higher tnan
Tuesday. The top today sold at $6.15, the
highest price paid so far this year, while
the bulk sold at and around 45.8onjts.o6. The
market opened slow and continued te-dj-ag
more or lesa tnrougnout lue morning.
