A VERY STRONG DAY.

Corn Fairly Takes the Lead Among the
Grain Pits, but Wheat and Oats Are
Also Hirher-But Little Corn Was
Cribbed This Year.
CHICAGO-A fair volume of business was
done in wheat to-day. The opening was
lower, but that proved to be about the bot
tom price of the Gay. May opened &c lower
at 911sc but lar.e operators began to pick up
the offerings and the market hardened.
Their unexpected bus very decided strength
began to show itself in the corn, oats and
provision pits, which impaired additional
strength to wheat. May finally touched 9l3sc.
These prices were forced Off some. May
receding to sOSSc Rather active buying of
cash wheat by foreigners was reported at
the seaboard, though they were said to be
for future delivery. This ana the strength
in corn caused a sudden rally. The price
went to 9I9Sc and closed at size.
Corn more active and higher May started
at about the closing price yesterday, but
there was very little for sale, and there was
n gradual upward movement. On the ad-
wheat pit who were heavily short came in
and covered. Il is said that these has been
very little corn cribbed this yea May
opened at 40c. advanced to 4034c, receded to
403sc, on which the shorts rushed into cover
ana put the price up to 1870 and closed at
4ll4c on an advance OF 11sc.
Oats strong, with an advance of lc.
Hog products active and higher. There
were spells of temporary weakness. but the
general tendency was upward, and the close
shows an advance OF 2719c in pork, l71ac in
lard and 154l715c in ribs.

HOME SECURITIES.
BUSINESS OF SMALL VOLUME AND NO
NEW FEATURES.

Investors Apparently Hauling or for Re-
pairs, but Nothing in Sight to Prevent
Another Spurr-A Few Price Changes,
but None of Great Significance.
Interest in speculative circles yesterday
was limited to five stocks. There was moth
ing specially new in movement or gossip.
The feeling for the most part was rather
bearish, but there were no important
slumps.
Philadelphia Gas was dull and weaker, the
Eastern demand having apparently been
satisfied. A prominent broker said he had
not had buying order for it for two days.
As this stock is one of the most erratic on
the market, it will bear watching. 1t.ls
hard to tell what the Eastern crowd may do.
OF the fractions, Central and Citizens de-
clined a small fraction. Pleasant Valley
was dull and steady. Birmingham and Du-
ouesne were stronger. These are narrowly
held, and as quite number of investors
have taken a fancy to them, it is a compare
lively easy matter to hold them up.
Switch and Signal was strong feature, the
secret of which was said to be that the COM

the New York Central Railroad. With about

NEW YORK, Jan. 2s.-Although the stock

that of q temporary character only. On the
whole. it was a strong market.
Special attention was called to Manhattan,
which continued its rapid upward move
ment and touched 49, and though it was
not held at that figure it established final
gain of about I2 per cent. The coal stocks
were much more quiet than usual, and
Lackawanna became shining mark for the
bears. 1tshowed a loss of IL per cent, but
rallied rapidly and effectively, showing only
q slight loss at the close. The other features
of the day were the Changers and Gould
stocks, together with the Northern Pacific
preferred. In all of these there was
marked increase in activity toward the end
of the session and all made handsome gains.
The opening was quiet at fractional adj
vances. The final raid of the bears on Lack
awanna was entirely fruitless, and that
stock rallied over per cent, while the rest
of the active shares were advancing stead

Flour Production, in Minneapolis.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. %. - The Nortb,oestern
Miller says: The mills last week ground the
smallest amount of flour that they have
made IN any week since September. There
was decrease of 35, 455 barrels as compared
with the week before, the most of it result
ing from the idleness of three mills of one
company. The weeks production was 49,
$50 barrels. For the corresponding time in
1891. 800 barrels were made, and in 1890,
III, 40 barrels. The mills have done much
heavier work this winter than a year ago
In the manufacturing situation there is very
little change from last week. There were
13 mills running Wednesday, grinding
about 25,000 barrels per "a hours, but the
average daily run is likely to be less. Two of
the smaller mills are expected to shut down
toward Saturday, and they will remain idle
three or four weeks. There seems to have
been some improvement in the flour trade
for a week back.

Groceries.

The movement in this line is only fair.
Trade has not shown up quite as well this
week as last. Sugars are quiet at the de-
cline, and coffees are strong. Rice is ad-
'vauced, as our quotations will disclose.
Canned goods are still firm.

REDUCTION IN FOUNDRY IRONS.
Some New Features in the Metal Market
Make 1t More Interesting

Make 1t More Interesting.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2s.-[SpeciaI 1.-The Iron
Age will say tomorrow in its review of the
metal markets, concerning American pig:
"The event of the week has been the an
nouncement by the Thomas Iron Company
of a reduction in th g price of foundry irons,
the price having been made $H so for No.
and SIG 90 5or No. .. B. G. Clarke, the Presi
dent of the company, states that about 1O, 900
tons have been booked at that figure. Other
sellers both of Northern and Southern
irons, report the market very quiet. We
quote Northern brands, SIS 75@i7 so for No.
], SIS 75@l6 90 for 10. and $l4 00@4 80 for
gray forge. Southern iron sells at SIS 75@
II 90 Tor No. l, $l5 25@l6 90 for No. and $I3 75
OLA % for gray forge.
'fIn manufactured iron and steel the prin-
cipal event of the week has been the closing
of contracts for the material for two vessels
which the Union Iron Works of San Fran
cisco will build for the Pacific Mail. One of
the contracts for $500 tons of material has
been taken bym mill in Eastern Pennsyl-
been captured by a Pittsburg producer. 1t
is understood that the price tor the ship
plates was LS5c at mill. Steel makers for
bridge purposes are considerably agitated
engineer of the McCombs Dam Bridge,
has introduced a clause in the
specifications limiting the steel to
though he does prescribe physical tests.
Considering the fact that both open hearth
and Bessemer basic and acid Bessemer have
been largely used for bridge work in this
country, this attitude is a surprise and does
not seem justifiable, since tests are called
for. The bridge in question was let some
time ago to the Union Bridge Company, but
is now to be advertised again in about q
week. 1t calls for a considerable quantity
of structural material.
Tin steel rails Eastern mills report yery
little new business, the only contract to be
placed within a day or two being one for a
3,000-ton lot for the Providence road. The
market remains at $50 at mill in the East
Very large transactions are looked forward
to in girder rails as the result OF conversion
of $50 miles of horse car lines in Brooklyn
into electric lines"

Hides and Calfskins.

The situation is little changed from what
it was week ago. Steers and heavy cow
hides are dull and slow, while bluffs and calf
skins are active and firm. The latter are in
light supply, and the few offered are quickly
taken at prices quoted. Sheepskins are ac-
tive and steady at the old price.
Following are prices paid by dealers and
tanners for stock delivered here:
