Even Professionals Forsake
the Stock Market
WHICH Is A WAITING ONE
Late Rally in tobacco Is Effect
i've Generally.

New York, Jan. 16.-Professional opera
tons in stocks fell away considerably to-
day, and as there is no other interest in
the market, the dealings made further
progress towards a condition of stagna-
ton. There was some slight speculation
in Sugar. Tobacco and the local fractions,
but these reported little more than
swapping jackknives," among the board
room traders, as may be judged from
the days net changes. These speculative
favorites are higher on the day after
various fluctuations. There is no better
explanation of their having gone up than
that they went down yesterday. There
was evidence of a desire on the part OF
the shorts to cover in Tobacco, which
pulled it up sharply in the late dealings
and the rest of the market with it. II
was emphati cally a waiting market. and
was by no means clear what it was wait
ing for. The fact that the dulness was
shared by the other great speculative
centers Of the world gives point to the
superstition that the development of con.
ditions in South Africa Is what is await
ed. Money conditions continue TO make
progress towards greater ease all over the
world. without the slightest effect on
speculation. period Of stagnatson after
so drastic liquidation as that OF last
month is by no means unique or abnor-
nal, without counting the South African
situation. II is very generally believed
that a British success there would cause
a sharp rally in prices If for no other
reason than the covering made by the
bears who have sold the market in
spirit OF scepticism over any early change
in the situation 1t would be necessary
to go back two years, 10 the time OF I'M
certainty preceding our war with Spain.
TO find q parallel for the absolute listless-
ness, or apparent waiting, which are the
characteristics of the current stock mar

HOGS TN LOVER
Drop Was Heavy in All West

TOP PRICE WAS S4.45
Cattle Market Was Steady
and Prices Firm.

The hog market opened slow yesterday
and declined on adverse reports from
other western markets. Every report in
Dictated a greater weakness than the one
before, andthe market here perforce fol-
lowed. The buyers endeavored to hold
it up as long as possible, but the drop
was too heavy, and before the close hogs
sold here 10 cents lower than the day be-
fore.
The bulk Of the sales went at 81 40 to
a.2. The quality Of the hogs offered
was good, there being q number of loads
OF prime medium weight packers The
average weight was heavier than usual.
there being quite a number Iof coars Sc
heavy hogs sold
There were large number of wagon
hogs on the market The roads are get
ting IN such shape that it is now again
possible to haul heavy loads and the
farmers are taking advantage of the high
prices to market their hogs. An espe-
cialiy heavy run Of hogs is looked for
today.
There were few good light hogs in yes
terday. The run of hogs was COMPOSED
mostly Of medium and heavy grades The
heavy hogs under 300 pounds were, as
general thing, fair to good IN quality and
sold more steady than some other grades
The supply OF hogs was fairly good.
Up to noon there was little IN but wagon
hogs, but the car lots began to arrive
early in the afternoon and trading was
brisk until the close, which was quite
late. The market compared we'll with
other western packing centers Kansas
City and Chicago each reported hogs 10
cents lower, and a heavy drop in provis-
ions also had dispiriting influence.

DEMOCRATS ARE QUARRELLING
Over which shall be lit" WhenBryan
Wis Is New York

New York, Jan. 15.-The Tribune says:
1.-THE eDmocratic organizations of this
city are in bad tangle over William j.
Bryans approaching visit to New York
o. P. H. Belmont, who has no official
position either under the city administra-
ton or any of the organizations, intends
to entertain Mr.. Bryan at dinner. At
this dinner win be nearly all the promln-
ent eDmocrats of the state and city
There will be representatives from up the
state, from Kings county. from Tammany
and from the Chicago platform Democrats
The idea is to turn the dinner into a sort
of love feast and harmonic all factions
so that a solid and unanimous delegation
may be sent to the next Democratic
national convention to vote for Mr..
Bryan.
This is all well as far as # goes. but
the trouble brewing IS over what official
notice shall be taken of Mr. Bryan's
presence by the Tammany organization
and the Democratic club According to
reports theer are two plans under con-
sheraton The first is fathered by John
W. Keller, president of the eDmocratic
cub, and contemplates a dinner at the
club in Mr.. Bryan's honor. Mr. Keller
said that he would certainly invite Mr..
Bryan to come to dinner at the club as
his guest. ard If he accepted would ipvite
a number of prominent Democrats 10 meet
him. The discussion is as TO whether
this dinner shall partake Of formal
political nature or be simply a personal
welcome OF Mr.. Keller to Mr.. Bryan. If
it is a formal affair It cannot be. on ac-
count of the size OF the club house, a
large dinner. 1t can be made very impOr-
tant. however, by a carefully selected list
Of guests, and the plan is 10 make X
gathering of prominent eDmOcrats from
ali over the state and the city 70 welcome
Mr. Bryan.
John F. Carol. Mr.. Crccker's deputy
and the leader OF the Tammany organ
zation in Mr. Cookers absence, does not
relish this plan Mr.. Carol IS inclined
to give the dinner at the Hotel Savoy
and make II a big one. with Tousing
speeches and enthusiasm galore. II this
plan is adhered 70, r would partake OF
the nature OF a Tammany affair solely.
and Tammany would have the credit
alone, as Tammany men would predomi-
nate and be IN charge, while a. the
eDmocratic club Tammzny would have TO
share the honors with others. This IS the
contention. and It vas said last nlght

London, Jan. 16.-The first series OF the

TODAY with large attendance. Competition
at the opening was rather quiet, but inn
proved later in the session, especially so
with continental buyers who secured the
bulk of better greasy Merinos. The bid
ding on scoureds was not so good, owing
TO the inactivity of the home buyers.
There was a larger representation Of
american buyers than usual, and they
operated in cross-breds quite freely on

ed the bulk of greasy, and slipes ruled In
BUYERS favor, with lower qualities occa-
