An Improved Cash Demand IA
Wheat Corn Sells Lower.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Wheat was very
steady today. Liverpool was lid higher.
Paris was up 3-4c. Primary receipts were
about half of last years. Clearanees were
100000 bushels. and for the week, 1861, coo
bushels. Argentine shipments were 5SS,0o0
bushels. 1t looks like about 100000 or
100000 bushels worlds shipments, with
decrease in the amount afoat. The sea-
board reported % loads taken. Shippers
report an improved cash demand here, but
say that the wheat is not available.
Corn is 1-4d3-Sc under Thursday. II is
definitely settled that the Government will
announce its final crop figures tomorrow
night, and on the settlement OF this there
was some further selling both for long
and short account. The cash situation is
about a stand of, small Western offerings
and bad weather. but decidedly slow de-
mand from the East. Argentine shipments
showed quite a falling off, AGA, 600 bushels
compared with 3,1eS,000 the week pre-
vious. Liverpool was 1-sd1-id lower.
Clearances this week were small. 3.199,000
bushels. Seaboard clearances were 419, 900.
May oats at one time today were off
lie: they recovered half of IL. There viii
be final Government figures on oats as well
as corn, and 1t is possible that they will
prove bearish also. There was 1873 cars
received with $50 for tomorrow. Clear
ances were 10000 bushels. There is some
difference of opinion as to the character
of today's selling. Shippers are not very
strong on oats.

The New York Market Continues TO
Show Improvement.
Reports of Better Progress by the
British Forces i'm south Africa Give
Sudden Break in Third Avenue
The Missouri Pacific Dividend.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-There was no ma
terial increase in activity in today's mar
ket, but its tone was decidedly steady, not
ably for the standard railway issues. AS
has been the case throughout the week,
the market took its initial tone from Lon
don. where general advances were reported
chiefly because OF the better progress max
ing by the British forces in Natal. London
houses. however, were again inactive in the
local market, the total transactions for for
eign account being limited TO a few thou
sand shares. In the main, the frmness of
the local market appeared to reflect the
general belief that by Monday morning at
the latest there would be official announce
ment of a decisive British victory and per-
haps of the relief of Ladysmith. Only lam
guild interest appeared to be taken in to-
morrow's bank statement, although from
the preliminary estimates ii would APP
pear that eyry strong showing will be
made
The days situation comprised some fur
ther statements of traffic returns for the
second week Of the month, among which
the Southern Railway and Louisville and
Nashville made exceptionally good showing.
The money market was unbrokenly easy,
and sterling exchange continued steady.
Otherwise there was little in the develop
ments of the day TO attract attention, and
the influence of yesterdays disagreeable
incident appeared to subside.
The only sensational incident in the
days market was a sudden break Of over
3 points In Third Avenue Railroad stock,
the decline being accomplished by reports,
which were subsequently denied, of a
serious hitch in the negotiations for the
financing of the companys floating debt.
Aside from this episode, the dealings were
wanting IN features Of particular interest
The dealings were extremely limited in VOL
lume and there were occasional protracted
periods OF absolute stagnation. The trad
ing Oh the whole, however. emphasized
those technical features of the situation,
which have been apparent throughout the
week, namely, the meagre offerings of
stocks for sale and the existence OF an eH-
tended and nervous short interest. The
features of the railway list were Missouri
Pacific, the grangcrs, Southern Railway
preferred, and Louisville and Nashville
Missouri Pacific was notably strong on re-
ports that dividend would shortly be de-
elared on the stock. Apart from Third
Avenue, the local traction issues were
steady moving in line with the general
market. There were rather wide fuctua-
lions in Sugar Refining, but the Industrial
quarter generally was steady, and also
moved in uniformity with the railway list.
