A SHARP FIGHT
 IN WALL STREET
Morning Advance Was Almost
 Completely 0bliterated.
BEARS PLAYED ON SUGAR
They Quickly Detected the Realizing After Bank Statement, and Fore ed Sugar to Take Downward
 Professionalism

New York, January 1s.-The strictly pro- fessional limits of the trading on the stock exchange was illustrated by the almost complete obliteration of the mornings ad- vance in the movement to take profits, after the appearance of the bank state ment.
 This exhibit was in itself a favorable one, as were all other incidents of the day, and it conformed closely to the preliminary estimates on which the buying had been based.
 The selling to take profits was responsi- ble for the advance in prices, and was, per contra, sufficient to bring prices back to about the starting point The activity in Sugar certificates continued, the price rising an extreme 3 points against the shorts, whose covering demand helped on the ad- vance.
 The bears quickly detected the realizing after the bank statement and forced Sugar down "A points. Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Tobacco showd close sympathy, and some other speciafties lost point or over.
 The decline in money rates is also bring ing renewed demand for railroad bonds from some Of the great insurance com panies. Some heavy individual transactions dn bonds are recorded.
 The central fact in the situation in the stock market is that the buying demand ds listless and narrow, and without stimula- tion by any favorable developments in the immediate outlook.
 The volume of foreign selling was not large, and would have been easily absorbed in an ordinary movement for an advance, but as the foreign selling grew out of the needs of the London market, and served ito increase the pressure for gold in New York, there was no disposition to hold up prices to afford a market for London sell CTS to make profits. Notwithstanding the small demand for stocks, the supply was scarce, and railroad stocks have responded quickly all week to any sort of buying de- mand. The market gives evidence that the liquidation of speculative holdings of stocks has been pretty thorough

to the small exports this season. which arc to date 2,s7s,O0o compared with 4.6sl 624 last year for the same period. Of this poor showing Great Britain is charged with talk ing about 100000 less than last year. and Continental Europe about 300,000. Il is evi- dent that the foreign spinner was better provided in the way of raw material at the beginning of the season than many were want to believe. Another feature that has operated against the British consumption, not to mention the Boer war, is the famine in India. Here of late, however, the export spot demand in America for foreign account has improved somewhat in which 1t seems there must be no abatement of the same if the market is to be sustained. Liverpool closed 11a up on futures and S2 up for spots; sales, 6,000 March here opened at 7.24, sold off to 719, and closed at that level.

New York, January 13-The Commercial Advertisers London financial cablegram says:
 Business in the markets here today was very small, but the tone was excellent, bas- ed on hopes of good news from the Trans vaal, which the professionals began to an- hctpate in markets bare of stocks. Con- sols up E, led the rise. Cheap money help ed the cheerful feeling American securities shared in the improvement, but the trad ing was of minute proportions. No gold was received or engaged. Money rates con tinued easy at yesterdays rates, and bills were scarce. Large money balances are unemployed, but the gold position is still watched with some concern. Holland is ex- pected to buy specie, and it is feared India, which is intercepting Australian arrivals, will take bullion.

New York, January 13.-The cotton mar ket opened with prices ? to points higher and exhibited inherent strength most of the session on active support from the bear side.
 The latter were induced to retreat by unexpected firmness in the English mar ket, prospects of additional shrinl0age in the coming week in the crop movement and bullIsh dispatches from southern spot markets.
 There was little i'm the way of new busi- ness, however, leading room bulls to pro- ceed with the utmost caution.
 Though bulish at heart, disposition seemed quite general among the investment class to fight shy of the market until the difficulty in South Afrioa took some form toward definite settlement and until ma nipulation talk subsided.

encountered no opposition. They learned
that some II Europeans, mostly Swedish
and Norwegian missionaries, besides Cap
tain Watts-Jones, We're massacred at
Kweihua- cheng by orders Of the tao-tai
and that 100 native Christians had also
been put to death. The details of the out.
RACES are most revolving.
Captains Wingate and Ryder visited the
Belgian station, where the priests in
charge and 1000 converts had sustained a
prolonged siege by Boxers and imperial
troops. They were informed that other
stations further west are still besieged, no.
only by Boxers, but by Chinese troops, act
ing under orders from the authorities, and
this is spite OF the assurances by the pleni.
potentaries that the government is doing
its utmost to suppress outrages.
Chinese carrying concealed weapons are
arrested daily in Pekin. Natives allege
that December 10 has been fixed as the
date of the rising against the foreigners in
the capital. No alarm is felt, however, as
the troops are sufficiently numerous to
deal with rising should one occur.

Jim HIN ON Subsidy Bill.

Chicago, Dec. 9--President j. j. Hill
Of the Great Northern railroad was re-
Gently the guest Of the Bankers club at
the monthly dinner. Mr. Hill in the first
part Of his remarks merely alluded to the
subsidy bill by saying that he had made
some inquiry concerning the building Of
boats in this country and upon the Clyde,
and found that he could have them con.
structed in this country at much lower
figure than in Scotland. This, he declared,
did not look much as though subsidy was
needed for shipping. II such measure
was passed it would, in his opinion, assist
most those who did not need assistance,
and he mentioned the greyhounds Of the
ocean as the most likely to be benefited.
He branched out into talk OH the
manner of controlling railroads by legis.
lation and declared the matter was one
which none but experts understood, and
that railroads could no more he properly
handled in this way than broken limb
could be set by statute.
