CHICAGO MARKET
The Days Transactions on the Board Of
Trade

The Days Transactions on the Board OF
Trade
CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Apart from the fear
Of damage to the wheat plant, there was
not much to create en- impression that an
immense further material advance would
be sustained. The Liverpool cablegrams
noted an advance of only &c to &c at the
opening, as against cents per bushel rise
theday before, and later private dispatches
quoted Liverpool closing I'd lower, and
said "Argentine wheat damage exagger-
ated." Quite number of the commission
houses here acknowledged having recon-
mended to their customers who were long
the taking of profits. A large proportion
of such orders as came over the wires were
from the northwest and to sell. An in
crease in movement from farmers up there
was said to be reason for the sending of
selling orders.
The closing continental markets were
strong, and the closing Liverpool market
was Id higher and futures I'd over yester-
days closing prices.
The markets here were very nervous
during the entire session, but the most
anxious party in the last half of it were the
bulls. The price sureed ur and down twice
between 625s and SO cents, but had worked
down by 1890 to 62as. Much of the
early strength came from the buying of
about 100000 bushels, almost, for ac-
count of Partridge. After a drop to 62Y
to 62T, a rumor that Russia and Turkey
had come to an arrangement, presumably
to the exclusion of the other European
powers, caused a sharp rally to 62M, at
which the market closed.
In corn, trade was rather light and the
market was inclined to droop, but it was
thought the storm would lessen farmers
deliveries for time, and that helped to
prevent radical weakness.
Oats fluctualed with wheat and corn.
Provisions were quiet all day, with the
receipts light. Fluctuations were narrow.
The leading futures closed as follows:
6Os4c; May $3.50; July, 63isc. Corn--January,
227}ac; May. z9H; September 3iH; July.

WALL STREET SPECULATION
Dealings Affected by Political Situation
in Europe
The Announcement of the Russo-Turkish
Alliance Is Followed by a Bad
Slump in Prices

Associated Press Special Wire
New YORK, Jan. 23.-The speculation
iii stocks today was dominated by re-
ported change in the political situation
abroad. 1t was alleged in early cables
that a combination has been formed be-
tween Russia and the Porte and this con-
dition of affairs was reflected in slump in
prices, including Americans, on the Lon.
don stock exchange. and by persistent and
fairly large selling in this market for for
eign accounts. This new phase in the sit
uation. followed by hardening tendency
in the sterling exchange market, encour-
aged bear predictions of probable heavy
shipments of gold on Saturday. The i'm
preston had gained ground previously that
very little if any of the metal would go
forward. In the foreign selling referred to
all of the international shares were in
cluded. The local market opened irreg-
ular. but soon developed general weakness
The appearance of moderate purchasing
orders in sugar advanced these shares
1H per cent and impaired a steadier
tone to the general list. The meeting
OF the anthracite coal presidents which
was in progress all day, was regarded as
having an important bearing on the gen.
eral situation, although there was no ex-
pectation of any immediate results. Opera
tors were disposed to restrict their VEN
lures temporarily. Tho money market
WAS unchanged as to quotations, but I'M
certainty as to the prospect of continued
ease still counts as an important influence
in limiting the scope of the dealings. In
the late sessions there was decided pres
sure against some of the industrial stocks,
which was in turn brought to bear upon the
railroads. Sugar lost the early gain. At
the finish some support was extended to q
few stocks, causing an irregular closing.
Bonds were we'll held on moderate deal
ings. The general sales aggregated ST.

tions for governments were slight. the old
coupon tours advanced ~ per cent on

why Hilo VIII Shoot 1t Over-Captain
Austin's Suspicious Were
Aroused.

Captain White, Company B, was
Crushed" when he heard Tuesday
afternoon that Hilo had made over
aga in last Saturdays match shoot.
Letters received later, however, ex-
planned the matter and developed a
rather amusing situation. The
Hilo boys went out to shootin good
faith. But someone had bought
and IS IS. The score piled up.
But the suspicious of Captain Aus
tin were finally aroused and he
called in the target for examination
The following letter from him ex.
plains the result:
81 am sorry not to be able to re-
port any score as the result of last
Saturdays shoot. Some idiot
knave or fool, or all three boiled in
to one, bribed our marker to over
mark all the scores as they wert
shot. Fortunately, we started with
an entirely new target, and had
dead cinch on the game. Oul
scores were so large that l mis-
trusted a "nigger in the fence,
and ordered the target up for in
vestigation and found same to b.
all wrong"
I'VE will shoot the match mex
Saturday, With marker we cal
trust. Sorry this happened SO, Blu
am glad it was discovered in tim
to save our reputation" And in
postscript: eve are after the foo
who put up the job"
