QUITE A sPURT OF ACTIVITY, WITH
DUQUEsNE AS LEADER.


More of the Big Traction Company Stock
Wanted Than Offered = Philadelphia
Down and Luster Up-New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal n Feature.
There was comparatively heavy trading
on Change yesterday. Each of the three
calls contributed. Sales aggregated 1890
shares and 1000 bonds. OF these, Duquesne
Traction furnished 1000. The stock showed
no weakness under this pressure, and the
demand was unsatisfied. 1t is now evident
that the deal with the I'ittsburg Traction is
bearing good fruit. Investors seem to re-
gard the road as on a paying basis. 1t Is
surmised that the buying is by syndicate
formed to bring the stock more prominently
before the investing public on the theory
that the higher 1t Is the more interest Will
be taken in it.
One of the strongest features of the mar
ket was New York and Cleveland Gas Coal,
which advanced to As bid, with none in
sight A leading broker said of this stock
81 think it will go still higher in sympathy
with the general Improvement in the coal
trade. 1 dopbt if it can be bought under

and am still a buyer. Reports show that the
company is making money!
Luster moved up and Phiadelpbia Gas
down. This reversal of position caused
some comment. Perhaps the cold snap had
something to do with the weakness OF the

A BIG SLUMP IN STOCKS.
WALL STREET is TREATED TO A DE.
CIDED SHAKING UP.

The Bear Raid Made in the Waning Hour
of the Day-Sellers, Who Are Anxious to
Become Buyers, Combine and Break the
Market.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The stock market to-
day was by all odds the most active we have
had since the revival of business last fall,
but while displaying strong temper during
the most of the day, yielded throughout the
list in the last hour, and all the early gains
were lost with something in addition. The
raid was made during the last hour of busi
ness by combination who have been sellers
of stocks and who have been endeavOrihg to
become buvers at lower prices. The move
ment, started by sudden drop in Chicago
Cas- was believed in some quarters to have
been the result OF settlement with the
shorts in that stock. and with this settle
ment all necessity of keeping its price up
was done away with, consequently many
heavy stop orders in it were uncovered ut
per cent down, and the suddenness Of the
decline has seldom been equaled.
The drop was followed by determined
attack upon the whole list, to which the
bulls did not appear to make any strong re-
sistance, the more prominent among them
expressing the opinion that this rea ction
would bring in q fresh lot of buyers. The
leading feature of the morning was the
strength in the Industrials, including Chi
cago Gas, which rose from 7s75 to So The
only real weak point in the list was Louis
vile and Nashville, which responded to sell
ing by the foreign element and retired over
per cent in the face of the strength of the
rest of the market. The break which car
ried all the rest down had little influence on
it, and it yielded only slightly when other
stocks were running off apparently. The
close was very active but weak. generally at
the lowest prices of the day. The only gain
is New England, % per cent.
The total sales of stocks to-day were 673 SIS
shares, including: Atchison. 40,0o5: Canada

Railroad bonds were also more active than
at any previous time, and the total sales
reached 5,240 900. but unlike stocks, there was
no severe slump in final dealings although
some OF the more active of the6speculative
issues, like the Richmond and West Point
bonds and some others, yielded slightly.
The Kansas and Texas bonds were the
special strong features, but all the more
prominent issues were advanced more or
less, and the Readings and the Richmond
and West Points were very active.

WHEAT FALLS BACK AGAIN.

The Government Crop Report the Last
Straw Which Breaks The CamePs Back
Corn Easy-0ats Lower-Hog Products
FIuctuating With the Grains.
CHICA Gothic bull feeling which pre-
vailed in the wheat pit yesterday all evapo-
rated over night, and the sentiment to-day
was decidedly bearish. The close was weak
terday's. There were several bearish
pieces of news, but the potential one was
the Government estimate on the last sea-
sons crop. The market has been for
months staggering under the load OF the
enormous crop-generlliy estimated at 6O),
600 000 bushels-and the Department of Agri
culture piled about 12, ,000. 900 on top of tnat.
MAY opened sc lower at 95c; fiuctuated for
some time between 947sc and 951sc; then
grew decidedly weak, and without material
reaction broke to 93c, recovering some, but
closing weak ut aSl &c.
Corn was fairly active, nut easier, chiefly
in sympathy with the depression in wheat,
hut there was not the same discouIagement.
The Government report gives the crop at
Oe9 900 COO bushels or Is 0G0 600 less than gen.
orally computed, anG the export demand
continues good. May started at 4lssc, fiuctu-
ated down to 4llSc and closed at that
Oats quiet, in sympathy with wheat and
corn, and closed with u loss of &c.
Hog products opened lower, but there was
fair buying at the reduction, and an advance
was scored. This was met by free offerings
by PACKERS, and the market sagged off again.
There were some further fluctuations within
a narrow range ana the close was at slight
losses compared with yesterday.
The leading futures ranged as follows as cor

Ease and abun dance were the features of
the local money market yesterday. and this
was a true reflection OF the situation at all
outside points.
The supply of loanable funds at New York
is excessive. Interest rates at Chicago have
been dropped from to per cent. Every
indication points to an easy market for some
time to come.
There was moderate call for loans and
discounts. and counter business WIS fairly
active. The usual per cent rate was ma in
