The aetion of today' stuck market wa in dc cidrd contrast to the clotting d;iy of last week. Irregularity prevailed throtiKhout the bession and I'liangra were for the mot part reprtscntrd in fractions. Furthermore, . the volume wag not lrge and there vvan every evidence that Bometliintr of a waiting biiiution had been brouKht; sdoui. utner financial markets were aUo without any decree ot buoyancy, The foreign exchanges moved withe in narrow limits; an early rise of prices in the grain market failed to be maintained, and cotton wa die tinctly heavy. The bond market also marked time, except for a continua tion ot interest in the local traction issues, which followed the optimistic statement of Frank Jicdlcy made late rnday afternoon and the l-rciich is sues were under pressure in antici pation of competition with the.Dc partment of the Seine . offering"- of $JS,0IO,000 distributed to dealers to day by the syndicate handling the issue. ' Today tho character of event waa de- rldedlv changed, tho rumors were almost nil. and there was less apparent endeavor made to holster up speculative sentiment. lieuort of further encroachment or ait wctcr in the Mexlcun oil nuns again came to hand, but the market for the moat nart lanured the new from Mexlo, On heavy trading Mexican petroleum showed a loss of lees than hair a poinr, which would ind cate. pel noun, that tnii lock in trade weapon of apeculetor rr the decline I beglrmjne to loo us pow to force liquidation. The cen.ii bureau', report .on cotton ginned prior 10 Jitnuary 10 showed 7,913. tVl bale. This Was about In line with v.l.at had been expected. Thl compsrt with glunlngs of 7.S44.673 up to January 1. Tho ginning between January i n i anuary 1 amounted to 2.9 bales, or tho smullcst total for the same period that hub been recorded In many years. Today llyures had little effect In the market. They simply served to emphasise still further how great was the. error of tho lvpartment of Agriculture In estimating the crop at 6.637,000 bale a of BepteM- ber 26 Jest year.

Continued buying of May wheat by btroiig commisaion houses, part ly to close uprcads, absorbed the of ferings in the pit early and the May July spread .widened to 13 5-8c at the last, the greatest difference so far.

There was evidence today of further buying of May wheat by leading interest, with some buying order coming from tho east. Buying of May s Winnipeg by Armour has been a factor the last week, and advice received from tho Canadian market today said that the buying had been persistent nnd heavy enough to take good deal 01 tno slack out ot mo marker. Wheat In tho Texns panhandle district Is In poor shape, according to latest re ports from that section. , . World's shipments of over. 16.000.000 bushels wheat were evidently reassuring to buyera 011 the other side. 1 nero was jittto change in Liverpool prices. : Argentina shipments are increasing earlier than UKual, and there Is mora activity.

The demand for corn from this country for export conseciuently Is expected to be good. An advance of 30o In hogs put the price of light hogs to over $9. an ad vance of more than $1 In a few days. There were 3.338 ears of grain on track In Chicago today, against 2,262 cars a week ago. Total arrivals for today were 1.478 cars.
