New York, Jan 19.-On the surface of
the stock market there is not a single
depressing feature and the unsatisfac Glory
condition of the speculative situation IS
therefore a source OF much dlSappolnt-
ment. If peace were to be declared today,
it is a question whether it would help the
situation this side. The shorts might
run in, but the volume of new business
would not be increased sufficiently to as
sure an active and vigorous market. 1t
is all right to be patient and cheerful,
but the most stubborn bull is likely to
tire of a steadily accommodating interest,"

ues. The bear side OF the market is the
unpopular one but very large number
of SPECTATORS would find it more profit
able if they would do a little short SELL
ing once in awhile instead of clinging to
the buying side the year around. As
result of yesterdays move against Sugar,
local sentiment is again very bearish on

ity for the statement that the forthcom-

Chicago, Jan. 19.-WHEAT-The wheat
trade, while it has not been so large as
yesterday, has shown more strength, and
seems to be gathering friends on the
side. This is partly due to reports re-
ceived the French crop, which are IN
dicative of damage and advances in their
market. The continent is not alone in
the advance for Liverpool has been quot,
ed sd niger in face of our decline and
sends numerous inquiries for our wheat.
There has been some quantity worked
here and at Seaboard. From Indiana
comes reports of damage by fly and in
all this news has given a better tone to
the market. Flour sales reported large
and the northwest been buying wheat in
this market. A further advance would
be in order.
CORN-Been easy. The selling was by
local holders. The announcement that
urday night had an effect. Country Of
ferings do not show increase and the
weather is still unfavorable, but the ship
ping demand does improve. The SeabOard
i. was a. large buyer of corn all day. indl-
eating large foreign acceptances.
OATS broke sharply on selling credited
to local holders who have been disguised
with the lack of vitality in the market.
Cash bids were sufficient to check de-
cline and recover part Of the loss. The
government figures will probably be pub
lished tomorrow.
PROVISIONS started weak, but finally
recovered most of the decline 1t was
more of a packers market than anything
else. Large interests We're arrayed on
opposite sides. The buyers, however,
were those who sold very freely on the
recent advance and were simply taking
back their lines. J. F. HARRIS.

SIMPLE ASSAULT.
Boer and Irish Trouble Ends With
Light Verdict

The jury which tried Charles E.
brennan on the charge of assault with
intent to kill on the person Of Frank
Dreisbach, returned a verdict of guilty
of simple assault and battery in the
district court to-day. The jury was out
about 20 minutes.
brennan went on the stand and tes-
titled in his own behalf yesterday af-
ternoon. He told a straight story of
the fight between the brennan and
Dreisbach families last July. He did
not deny that he struck Frank Dreis
bach over the head WITH a. club, as the
prosecution charged, but he claimed he
did it to protect his father. Dreisbach,
he said, was getting the better of his
father, and he ran to the elder Dren-
mans rescue, striking Dreisbach with
the club.
The jury decided that there was no
malice in the act and that brennan
did not intend to kill Dreisbach. The
jurors, however. deemed that brennan
was guilty of an offense of some kind
under the law, and they made up their
minds it was assault and battery.
If brennan had been convicted as
charged it would have been a felony,
and he would have been sent to the
penitentiary, but assault and battery is
only q miSdemeanOr punishable by
fine or imprisonment in the county
Jail, at the discretion of the court.
There is a vast difference between
