Bradstreet's stock Review.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1o.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say: General trade has not i'm
proved appreciably. Some wholesale houses
are sending out travellers, while others have
not completed taking account Of stock. Mild
weather at Western points has interfered
with business in some instances and the
week continues to present characteristics
of a between seasons period. The impress
sion is general that uncertainty as to f1nan-
cial action by Congress and disturbing polit-
zeal conditions have an unfavorable influence
in prospect for new enterprises. Mercantile
collections East. West and Northwest are
complained Of but at the South the COM
parative ease with which they are made
forms conspicuous exception. Demand
for funds at various Western centers is
the most active for year. Stocks of whole
salers at many of the larger interior dis
trbuting points are low. First advices OF
statesmen on the road are of moderate de-
mand for goods, Improvement showing IT.

the treasury has armed itself against such

been very narrow, and covering or short

the less acute feeling about the latter sub

PACIFIC CHARACTER OF THE FOR
EIGN NEWS AFFECTS PRICES.
Chicago Wheat Weak and 5-Sc Lower.
with Declines in Corn, Oats
and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1o.-The more pacific char
acter of European news had its effect on all
the markets to-day, and relapsed into the
condition of dullness prevailing before the
war scare. Wheat closed sc lower than
yesterday. Corn and oats lost 14c and &c.
respectively, and provisions were quiet. at
21zG71sc off compared with last night.
Consols were higher, giving evidence that
the British public at least did not anticipate
any very serious trouble, as the war talk
has been the principal prop of the market.
This had depressing effect, and there was
liberal liquidation and short selling. The
Northwestern and primary receipts We're
also generous, and especially the North
western deliveries, which are more than
double what they were week ago. There
were indications, too, Of liberal gold ship
ments. On the realizing and the short SELL
ing which followed the market went of &c
from last nights close. But there was a
good demand for cash wheat from country
millers. and for export, which caused some
reaction The market was also strengthened
some by a London dispatch. which said
that il was estimated there that the recent
bad weather in Argentina had reduced the
export surplus from that country fully
100000 bushels, and that no more would be
shipped this year than last. May sold eerly
at 59Ac, sold to 59la@59ssc. split, up to $3.50
down to 5s12c. and at noon was os7sc. The
market was strengthened some during the
last hour by some sensational war news,
which started local shorts TO covering, and
May sold at $3.50. but eased on fraction
and closed steady at 595sG59Ac.
Corn was slow. The short interest has
covered so freely during the past few days
that there was not much demand from that
interest. With some indications Of larger
interior deliveries, there was more DISPOSE
tion to SELL May sold early at 29c, weak
ened to 2S$4c and rallied to 2S7sc, closing at
that figure.
Oats were quiet and easy, being governed
somewhat by the course of corn and the
tanner feeling in wheat. May sold from 1855
Q19Ac, split, to 19lsq19ssc, split, closing
steady about 1880.
Provisions started very weak, on the un-
expectedly large hog receipts. A good de-
mand sprung up at the decline, when the
wheat market opened, and more than half
of the first loss was recovered before the
end. May pork, which closed yesterday at
$9.9212, rested at So S21e. or loo decline for the
day. Nay lard left off at decline Of Csc,
and May ribs at reduction of .071zc.
