Sensation N SUGAR
On a Fear of Suspension of
Its Dividends.
MARKET OTHERWISE DULL
Foreign Markets Firm on
Easier Money Rates,

New York. Ian. 1O.-The stock market
was duh and narrow today except for the
sensational developments affecting the
stock of the American Sugar Refining
company. Previous to the assembling of
the stockholders meeting there was
considerable show OF strngth in this stock
owing TO a general conviction that the
sugar trade war has more Of shadow than
substance in 1t. The declarations con-
aained in the presidents annual report
rather took Wall Streets breath and
caused fear that unless conditions changt
dividends on the stock may be suspend
ed. The stock declined rapidly, the price
varying as much as / 1-2c between sales.
The first drop took the stock to 10. when
it steadied and rallied above 124. 1t fell
again to III ga bringing out heavy stop
loss orders on the way down. rallied to
near 122, reacted and again rallied in
the final dealings. The large and persist
ent outstanding short interest in the stock
served as a recuperative force by buying
to cover contracts. All the prominent in
dustrials were sharply affected in sympa-
thy. the bears Selling the opportunity 10
offer prices down and uncover stop-loss
orders. The railroads were much less af-
fected, although the earlier gains were
mostly wiped out There was good buying
in the railroads at the decline, led by the
Baltimore and Ohio stocks. on the COM
pany's strong statement of December
earnings. The general relaxation in
money rates all oyer the world had in
duced a conviction that the official dis
count rates. both Of the Bank OF Eng
land and the Imperial Bank Of Germany,
would be reduced tomorrow, and board
room traders were inclined to buy stocks
in anticipation of a foreign demand.
Stocks were generally firm today in for
eign markets on account Of the easier
money rates. Closing prices in this mar
ket today were as follows

circle is growing daily, and Mr.. Blake
is a warm advocate of Wichita.
R. A. NAHUM, an Oklahoma shipper, was

hogs here.
Johnson & Hanna the old reliable ship
pers at Enid, o. T., were on the market

strong Yesterday Pork advanced two and
one-half points, while other staple pro-
visions held firm. Pork opened at $1O.5

ting in the condensors of the new refrig-
Grating plant at the Dold Packing COM
pany 1t will be several days before the
new additions to the service is completed.
The shipping business was good yester-
day. The local jobbing business was
heavy, the travelling men having sent in
some very heavy orders. The men in the
express department were also rushed with
work getting out orders.
c. A. Stannard of Emporia, speaking
at the meeting of the Improved Stock
Breeders association meeting at Topeka,
said: This has been the most prosper
Gus year our association has experienced.
We have taken in more new members
than ever before, and is it not fitting that
orr association should be prosperous at
this time when all the agricultural IN
terests of our great country are so pros
porous? In my seventeen years expert
ence in Kansas this has been the most

! to see this association progress until 1t
has on its roll every man in Kansas who

John Ratliff. one of the largest and
most prosperous stockmen of southern
Kansas, was in from Cunningham yester-
day. and visited the stock yards. He did
not have any hogs in, but was simply

shipper and thinks that the Wichita mar
ket is about the right one. He says that
1t canotn be beat on prices, ana that the
shipper cannot afford TO go past it.

rive until quite late in the day, held

HOGS WERE STEADY
Prices Ruled Firm Through
out the Day.
Top PRICE WAS S4.35
Cattle Market Was Dull and
Inactive.

The Wichita hog market was steady
yesterday. There was a firm feeling
Throughout the day and there were no
soft spots at any time. The demand was
very strong and offerings were quickly
snapped up at the ruling prices.
The market opened steady on weak
and declining market and in spite of ad-
verse reports remained so clear through
the day The supply was fair for a
Wednesday, but 1t was not nearly equal
the demand. The quality of the offering
was widely varying. There were some
good lots OF packers and some roughs and
culls sold, but the general average Of the
stuff was from fair to good. Heavy hogs
sold we'll and brought uniformly good
prices. The average weight of the hogs
received was PAP pounds.
The receipts were light early in the
day and ii looked as.though there would
be little business done. However, bust
ness opened up in the afternoon and the
scalemen were kept busy until a late
hour weighing up. Some of the best hogs
on the market were the late arrivals.
The top price Of the day was $4.35. The
bulk Of the heavy hogs brought this price
and depressing reports from other west
ern markets kept a high top from being
put on the market. The bulk of the light
and medium hogs went at 81 30@4. 35.
There were few lights on the market but
they sold for a good stiff figure when
compared with the price of the other
grades.
The market was strong as compared
with the other western markets. Kansas
City was weak to cents lower. st. Louis
said Hog market steady on good only"
while Chicago reported STEADY for choice
heavy; others a shade lower" A COM
parison Of the markets should demon
strate to anyone the superiority of the
Wichita market over any other in the
west. The shippers of this state and
Oklahoma are nearly unanimous in de-
cIaring that Wichita is the best market
for the shipper in this territory.

WHEAT CLOSES LOVER
Depressed by Large Receipts
and Light CIearances.
COARSE GRAINS HIGHER
Provisions Unchanged to a
Nickel Higher.
COARSE GRAINS HIGHER

Chicago, Jan. 10.-The wheat market
was somewhat irregular today, but on
the whole was depressed by the large re-
ceipts and light clearances, May closing
HG5zc under yesterday. Corn and oats
closed a shade higher and provisions I'M
changed to sc up.
The indifference Of Liverpool to the adj
vance in wheat here yesterday weakened
the local market at the opening, May at
67s4 0677sc, showing an initial loss of 1ac.
Buyrs late yesterday on the was scare
sold and the price eased off to 6Ez16i9sc,
where it steadied and. on reports OF a
better export demand, laboriously ad-
vaneed to CSC. On liquidation, occasioned
by the light clearances and the liberal
primary receipts, the rally was lost, May
touching size. A rumor that LadTsmith
had fallen caught the market in an over
sold condition and shorts made haste to
cover, under pressure of which the market
again advanced, May to 6Sq6S1sc. The ru-
NOR was unconfirmed and some OF the
scare accommodations were disposed Of.
IThe close was rather weak, May kl93sc
under yesterday, at 67Ac.
Corn was firm all day, up trife at
times, even when wheat was weak. The
opening showed a IrdcI1Ondl QSCaIHe III
sympathy with the wheat market, but it
was soon recovered. Small country Of
ferings and rather unreasonable weather
were the strengthening influences. May
ranged from 327s to 3314c. closing shade
cover yesterday, at 339331sc.
Oats were firm. but dull. The market
occupied a somewhat novel position, as
there were plenty for sale at 24c and a
good demand for the cereal at prices only
fractionally under that. The result was
that as soon as the asking price was
reached the price Immediately dropped.
May closed a shade up, at 4c.
A good shipping demand and some COW
.ering by shorts held the provisions mar
ket firm inthe face of liberal hog receipts
and softer prices at the yards. Longs
were moderate profit-takers. The trade
was not active, nor large. May pork
closed 8 cents over yesterday at SO. S212
MAY lard shade higher, at IS. 90q5. 9212;
and May ribs unchanged, at $40.
Estimated receipts tomorrow: Wheat,
As cars; corn. AS; oats. 100; hogs, 10000
head.
