PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, january 1S.-The wheat
market was depressed to-day by
lower cables and favorable crop news,
but towards the end rallied somewhat
on report of frost damage to French
crop, may closing reather easy, &c
under yesterday. Corn and oats clos
ed each 1sc lower. Provisions weak
ened by realizing, closed 2h012hc
lower.
The scanty array of news to-day
served it's daily purpose of emphasize
ing the fact that the supply of wheat
The session was dull with put and call
transactions eliminated, as per the
Board of Trade edict of yesterday
with a steady stream of wheat going
out which weakened prices ave to-
wards the close. AT the opening with
Liverpool, crop reports favorable and
the Argentine with an alleged export
able surplus OF Z z, 1000, 900 bushels, May
at 65R q Bc showed a loss over night
of A@3sc. A little buying early car
ried the market to 65%@%c. From
that the price gradually sank with oc-
casional fits of steadiness to 64Bc- for
May. Near the end of the session a
private cablegram brought confusion
of a report of damage to the French
crop by frost. Shorts covered and
there vas some good buying on the
report which influenced an advance
of May to 65hc at which it closed,
rather easy in tone. The seaboard
reported % loads taken for export
and $4,000 bushels were sold from
here. Atlantic port ~clearances in
wheat and -four were equal to $780,
900 bushels. Primary receipts were
369, 900 bushels compared with 612,-
900 bushels last year. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported 2T2 cars against
All last week and $50 a year ago. Lo-
cal receipts were 35 cars, none Of
which graded contract.
The corn market had its usual sup
ply of supporting news at command to-
day, wet weather, small offerings n
steady cables, but the influence Of a
weak wheat market was just strong
enough to hold the price down. The
market was not a large one nor was
business active. The shipping demand
from the east was particularly poor.
Receipts here were 1913 cars. May sold
from 1890 to 33Ac, reacting from the
bottom with the advance in wheat and
closing steady. May Bc under yester-
day at 33hc.
The oats market was sluggish for al
though the demand was poor the wheat
decline failed to depress it to any ex-
tent. Local receipts were Ill cars.
May ranged from 24c to 23Bc, n
closed hc depressed at 23Bc@24c.
The significant feature of the provis-
ions market was the dizziness of trade.
The volume of business was much
smaller than it has been recently and
holders were disturbed by that fact.
At the opening the market was firm
and prices up a trife ON hog receipts,
which were not as large as estimated,
and better prices at the yards, but the
early strength soon ebbed away under
the steady liquidation. May pork sold
from s10.97h to $1,000 and closed 100
12hc under yesterday at s10.82h; May
lard from $6.05 to s5.97h, closing &c
lower at s5.97k, and May ribs from
s5.S2h to s5.72k, with the close PA
@5c down at $5.75.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, 80 cars; corn, 275 cars; oats,
$50 cars; hogs, "a, 900 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

ed the Tugela III force caused a comb
dent opening at the Stock Exchange
here to-day, but the failure Of the pub
lie to respond to the encouraging tid-
ings caused prices to stick aftsr mid
day. The action OF the Bank Of Eng
land directors in reducing the minimum
discount rate from 5 to Az per cent
hoisted c~onsols, but in some quarters
it was looked upon as paving the way
for a fresh government loan.
Americans opened at an advance, but
there was no buying and prices sagged
on New York supplies Of stock.
The Argentine Republic took gold
amounting to $4,000.
The strength of the Bank of Eng
lands weekly return is due to the sea
sonable inflow of money from the prov
;nces. Money and bills were again
weak. Discount houses have reduced
deposit rates " to az per cent, calls
to 2% with notices.
Foreign exchange rates generally
were Paris 1920; Berlin 25.49k.

State bonds easier.

Government bonds irregular.
State bonds easier.
Railroad bonds strong.
Stock market conditions showed no
marked change from those prevailing
for some time past, and general lassi-
tude was the characteristic. One or
two railroad stocks reflected a fair
demand, notably the Norfolk & West
ern issues and Union Pacific. The Bal
timore & Ohio stocks were also bought
in moderate volume. Yesterdays
movement in Leather, from which the
spectators hoped the market would
receive an impulse. dwindled away,
and profit taking depressed the price.
Sugar was advanced in a desultory
manner during the early part of the
day, but in the afternoon broke over
five points from the top level, and UNI
settled the whole market. Covering
by the bears in Sugar and the late de-
mand for Union Pacific stiffened the
market again and served to retrieve a
part of the declines, making the close
firm and the net changes mixed. There
was a very marked absorption of new
and reorganization bonds, which serv-
ed as a background to the strength Of
the whole market for securities.
The undertone was Enthusiastically
firm, and in spite of the very light de-
mand there was no pressure to sell
stocks. The further reduction in the
Bank of England's private rate of dis
count and the weekly return of the
bank served to confirm confidence in
the money outlook. Strength in Lon
don on this score and On the hopes
engendcred by meagre news from
South Africa causes some reflected
strength in the stock market. Re-
serves continue to accumulate in the
New York banks by both reflux Of
funds from the interior, the deposit of
internal revenue collections with the
banks and extraordinary government
disbursements by the Sub-Treasury on
account of pensions. The stock mar
ket demand for money on call continu-
ing very light, funds are pressing nor
and more for employment in time
loans, which are quoted as low as Az
per cent. on all railroad stocks collat-
eral. Extraordinary loans are even
reported at 4 per cent, and mercantile
paper of a high grade is coming into
additional demand at 5 per cent. To-
days strong undertone in stocks was
emphasized by the good reports re-
ceived during the day of railroad earn
ings for the second week in January.
The hardening tendency of sterling ex-
change is viewed with tranquility, be-
cause the Bank of England has with
drawn its concessions on gold exports,
thus raising the gold export point for
exchange considerable above that at
which gold has recently gone out.
The improved demand for bonds is
a natural result from the cheapened
rates for money and the pressure of
capital for productive employment.

and supplies have been shipped from

Of declaring war
In November, 1898, Field Marshal Yama-
gaia, the leader Of the japanese army
and one of the ablest soldiers Of the old
world, temporarily assumed the premier
ship OF the Japanese cabinet. 1t was soon
learned In Europe that Yamagata had
taken the position solely to place Japan
IN complete readiness for war. In writing
of cuntemporaneous events in the Orient
well known historian whose knowledge
Of Japanese politics makes him a recog-
nized authority In Oriental affairs, stated
that war between Japan ana RUSSIA was
only a question OF time and he predicted
that on the eve OF the struggle Count
Cassini the Russian ambassador at Wash
