WHEAT DULL AND HEAVY
Corn a Shade Higher and

| Chicago, Jan. 12.-The trade in Drovis-
ions was the feature of the board Of
trade today, light hog receipts and adj
vanced prices at the yards combining to
give the market a tone of decided
strength. May pork closed 10c, May lard
21zd5c and May ribs sc over yesterday.
Wheat was dull and heavy. weakened by

oats unchanged.
The provisions market was strong all
day. Receipts at the yards were under
the estimate and prices UP. Initial figures
showed a gain about equal to that shown
at the close. At advanced figures the
demand was excellent from all sources:
the market was active and broad. The
demand from the south retained its re-
Gently developed vigor and the outside
trade generally was on a large scale. In
f1uential local warehouses were good buy
ers largely of lard and ribs At no time
was there any pressure to sell. Offerings
were nearly all from profit-takers. May
pork closed 10c over yesterday, at 81. o.;
May lard 21a46c up, and May ribs 90

The liberal Argentine shipments and
crop conditions in that country were the
main factors in depressing wheat, that
market barely holding it's own. though
it had strong corn and provision markets
for near neighbors. The decline a Liv-

yesterday was a disappointment ~ the

a little buying by shorts was caused by
stories of a somewhat better cash de
mand and an improved inquiry foc export

of business was small and the session

crowd in the pit and some Improvement
in the commission business. Aside from
a bit of easiness felt at the opening in
sympathy with wheat, the feeling was
firm throughout. The main considera-
tons on the buying side were the small
country offerings and the poor weather
for movement. with the strength Of pro-
visions a contributory factor. The vol
ume of trade was not large. There was
considerable talk of feeders going wild
over corn" and it was generally reported
tnaC the demand from InlS source was
backed with more tempting prices than
shippers have been offering. May closed
a shade over yesterday, at $3.50.
The oats market was firm. Cash bids
were sharp relatively half-cent better
than last weeks. Sympathy with the
strength of corn was a factor in the

a demand for American oats to feed

SUGAR HIS FRIENDS
Rallying to Its Support They
Defeat the Bears.
GENERAL LIST BETTERED
Principal Stocks Rise, Closing
Strong at Top.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE opening sales
Of Sugar afforded convincing evidence
that its friends had rallied to its support
and were prepared to contest the progress
which the bears have made in cutting
down its price. Very heavy blocks were
thrown upon the market at the opening.
but the quotation was lifted from us 10
ia on running sales in the first transac-
tions Of the day. The opening price was
the lowest. After the stock got above
last nights level the bears renewed their
efforts to depress il again, but without
success The resistance shown by the
stock caused uneasiness in the ranks of
the unwieldy shorts interest ard they
started TO cover. They carried the stock
up to lis. near which It closed. There
was 10 further signs of the acute weak
ness which was shown yesterday by the
local Traction stocks and Tobacco, which
was said TO be due to the closing out OF
an embarrassed account. These stocks
were under pressure during the morning,
but they responded to the recovery in
Sugar and late general strength in the
market and rose vigorously above last
nights level. The relaxation of the
pressure on Sugar played no small part
IN the general strength OF the market.
Railroads advanced at the opening in
sympathy with strength abroad. but they
were not embarrassed BY Generalization
from the specialties, and so gained
strength as the day progressed. All the
principal stocks rose from one TO two
points over last nights level and closed
strong at the top. Some very heavy
blocks Of Baltimore and Ohio were ia
ken on In the late dealings by the circu-
lation of rumors of approaching dividend
declarations. The market broadened no.
tally nthe late dealings on the improve
ment OF the sentiment in foreign financial
circles and in expectation of strong
bank statement. The Bank Of Germany
followed the other European government
banks today by reducing its minimum dis
count rate from TO per cent and the
rapid downward course Of private dis
count rates in London gave confidence in
still further reductions in the bank rates.
London also took a sanguine view Of the
advantages Of General Buffers new posi-
ton on the Tugela river. The buying for

Contrary to the usual rule, the cheapest
hogs sold last, and the best punches went
