There I nothing at this moment to advance prices on. and ulJ mstely values will sell lower, provided the winter wheat crop passes through with out material darn. ' Receipts of corn are running heavy and It looks as If they would continue so for some weeks. Shipping demand Is poor and stocks are accumulating at all points, forcing; values to seek lower levels. Wheat continues to show weakness and all news Is decidedly bearish. Millers com plain of thflr Inability to sell flour and have cancelled purchases of wheat. The movement Is liberal and undermines the cash market. Corn was unable to hold Its own against the heavy selling pressure. Heavy re ceipts have changed the sentiment and cash handlers have withdrawn from the market until the shipping demand picks up.

S The action of the stock msrket todsy confirmed the Impres sion msde by yesterday's market of a subsidence of the more acute apprehension f"lt or professed over the business and political outlook. The bear party in the speculstlon wss somewhat Intimidated by the evidence of substantial demand from Investment sources at the level to which prices were forced by the week's severs price decline. The forelrn markets sent favorable In fluences, lnoludlng a decline In the private t'lrcount rate In Ixmrton and an expectation that reductions might be made next week In the official discount rates of ths Bank of England and the Imperial Bank of Ger many. Some attention was paid to the Judicial decision ln the so-called "Danbury hatters" case as an example of one piiaxe of the working of the Sherman anti-Trust law. Only faint attempts were made to contest the rising course of prices, a sharp reaotton ln the coppers after the opening measuring Its greatest extent. The buvlng on the advance, on the other hand, had some remaining signs of hesitation and caution. Prices receded before the close f nd the appearance of the bank statement. Continued expansion of loans. In spite of the heavy stock market liquidation, Is in line with, the showing for several weeks past and must be ascribed to the process of rectification of the credit arrangements rr.ade last fall when loans were shifted rrom the banks to avoid a deficit and at the same time save the speculative position. The large decrease in cash reserve was a ourprlse In the bank statement, as the known movements of monev indicated a Keln of over (5.000,000.

Total exchanges at all cities ln the United States for January, according to ths statement issued by B. O. Dow A Co., whleh Includes 111 leading; centers, amount to $17,063, 755, 07S, a gain of S2.0 per cent over last year and of 4.4 per oent over the corresponding month ln 1906. Al most every city reports gains over last year, but there are still a fsw Insignificant losses com pared with 1906, due ln part to the fact that there was on mors business day ln that year. Narly every section reports large increases ovsr both years, showing that prosperity Is general. At New York City there is a large gain over last year. New England elties make large gains, prominent among them being Boston, Providence, Hartford, Springfield and Worcester, the Improvement over 1908, which was a very active year, ln this section at moat elUes being espe cially gratifying. In ths Middle Atlantlo States active business is reflected in much larger hank exchange than last year, notably at Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Reading, Wllkes-Barre, Buffalo and Syracuse, and while there are still few losses as compared with 1908, they ara small, conditions rapidly returning to normal. The South Atlantic States provide substantial gains over both years at practically every pointy as a result of the activity and high prices received for ootton and other agricultural products, with the accompanying stimulation of other lines of business. Among the cities that report these Increases are Baltimore, Richmond, Charleston, Atlanta, Augusta, Macon and Jackson Tills. Returns frem cities ln the Middle South Indicate very prosperous conditions in that section of the country, also, only two points reporting losses. At some centers the gains are extremely large and show distinctly the growth of business ln their tributary territory. Among them are St, Louis, Memphis, Chattanooga, Birmingham, New Orleans, Mobile and Little Rock. At almost STery city ln the Central West great activity la indicated by soma of the Increases provided, especially at the smaller commercial centers. There U the usual Increase at Chicago, hut at Cleveland, Detroit, IndlsDapolls, Milwaukee, Columbus, Dayton, Akron, Canton and Grand Rapids there are marked gains over both , years. In the Far West every city shows large gains over both years, notably Minneapolis, St. Paul, Kansas City, Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Omaha, St. Joseph, Wichita and Denver, and these ln most part reflect the splendid agricultural results of the psst year and prepara tions for sn active business in 1910. Returns are satisfactory from the Pacillo Coast, and at most points the gslna are large, among them San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane, Comparison is made below of bank exchanges by sections covering three years ; also th average dally figures for the month of January and the three preceding months; jTAKtlABT.

For the week receipts have been liberal, although showing a falling off of close to 3,000 bead as compared with last week. During the early part of the week there was a steady upward tendency to prices on beef steers consequent upon a very flood buying demand and moderate offer ngs. By the middle of the week the mar ket was around 25c higher and the feeling very strong. On Thursday and Frldsy prloes tended downward Just as rapidly as they had advanced, so that at the close of the week the market Is only Rbout steady with one week ago. In fact, there Is not enough change to be worth mentioning. Cows and heifers followed beef steers up and also down, and they, too, are selling practically In the same notches as one week ft go. The trade as a whole has been very fair, considering all conditions. The supply of stockers and feeders has been light every day this week, and, as there has been quite a little buying de mand prices have remained practically firm every day. This means that the mar ket is In a good, healthy condition, with no surplus cattle on hand of any kind.

HOGS Activity and strength featured the hog trade this morning. Receipts were light, only seventy-two cars being received, and buyers were out In the alleys early with good orders. Opening bids were about 5gl0c higher than yesterday's general mar ket and a few of the hogs changed hands on this basis, but brisk competition com pelled packers to raise their offers and the bulk of droves sold at a full dime ad vance. Later In the morning, after most of the hogs had been yarded, the demand appeared to be even more urgent than early, and many sales were made that looked to be Jutit about I6c higher than the average market yesterday. A considerable portion of receipts changed hands between 38.30 to 38.45. as compared with yesterday's bulk of 88.20tf 8.35. Tops reached 38.55, as against yester day's top of 38.46, and tops a week ago of 38.20. Excepting Thursday and yesterday, the market this week has shown unusual strength each day. The week's run Is about 2.000 head less than last week's sup ply, and about 7,000 head less than re ceipts for the same week last year, and the net advance In prices over last week's close Is pretty close to 35c.

Prices In the sheep barn this week have been on a steadily advancing scale as a result of curtailed supply and a good, active demand fur all kinds of killers, i.ach day receipts have been cleaned up about as fast as yarded at the improved figures and current quotations are fully as lilKh as at any time before the agita tion of lolty meat prices. Olferlugs, as a rulo, have carried more flesh and finish than recently, as the numerous toppy sales of the last few days have indicated. The demand for sheep has been especially brisk and the Improvement in values mors ap parent than 6u lambs. Good kinds of ewes, wethers and yearlings are pretty close to 5uCa75c higher than they were at last week's close. Lambs have also been selling very well, but buyers were not as keen for stock of this description toward ths close of 'the week and the trade lost much of Its urgency. No notable change in values re suited, however, and present prlcea are about 36"(6oc higher than a week ago. The best, lambs here lately topped at $ 60. as compared with lavt week's top of 38.1a. On account of the limited receipts of stock suitable for flnlxhlng, the volume of feeder business this week liua been small, but what few strings were taken back Into the country realized good, strong prices. Some good shearing lambs sold as high as 87.70.
