 Wheat had heavy feeling all through the to some extent, was of indifferent sort. Cables were slightly lower, Argentine ship ments were still much smaller than a year ago and the receipts in the Northwest were light. The Southwestern markets were bullish and on the breaks scalpers bought and shorts cov- cred. Trade, howeverg Hht in volume. This led spectators to the argument that business was too small to hold the advance in the market when the pit turned bearlsh. Professionals turned sellers, the seaboard re- ported a slack export demand and persistent selling caused declines. The fluctuations were a shade to NQAc lower at 7s1a to 7eis closed weak.

 Corn struggled hard to maintain it's strength but gradually slipped down in sympathy with wheat The opening. slightly higher cables and the frmness of the Kansas City market exerted considerable influence. Receipts at the Western markets are falling off materially and reports state an indisposition the part of holders to sell Dry weather in Argentine threatens the crop. All told, the market here showed a firm undertone But trade was light and the wheat weakness made itself felt May corn which sold early at e3Ad63H huctuated narrowly, but ended in net loss of 12qSsc at the close, weak at 62h.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW WITH BUSINESS. The Snow in the Northwest, How ever, Has Improved the Pros pect for a Good Crop
 of Wheat.

| New York, Jan. 31.-Bradstreet's to- , mt rrow will say:
 | The future may be said this week to
 have profited at the expense of the pres- l ent. In other words. current weather conditions. such as heavy snowfalls East and West and North. tend to check the
 buying. except of purely seasonable | goods at retail and to limit slightly the
 volume of demand for wholesale lines. l On the other hand, the covering of the
 entire northern half of the country with | blanEeI of snow mas bettered the con l ditions of the wilter-sown crops. and the outlook for spring trade as a whole | has therefore greatly improved. | No diminution in confidence in large | spring business is reported, thoCgf'
 Southern trade advices continue unsatis- | factory. Northern and Western buyers | are calling for deliveri IS spring ac- | count much earlier than usual, an en- | couraging feature as indicating onat un-
 sold stocks of winter goods are not ex- | oessive. Other develOpments Of the week
 are in the main favorable.
 | Considerable irregularity is noted 1n
 ton. After the late heavy decline fir l pr1ces has come several reactionary I movements in wheat. which tends to dis courage export demand Wheat strength l ened early on Bradstreets review of a | heavy decrease in the visible supply, but | weakened later on improved winter | wheat crop prospects. Corn has display | ed rather more strength than wheat, a | number of diverse influences operating, while in oats the feature was a spec | tacular break of cents per bushel on one day. most of which was. however. | later regained.
 Uncertainty still rules in the cotton market Confidence in a small yield is | still undiminished. though current re- ceipts throw discredit on minimum esti, mates Trade advices at home and
 abroad continue good and the foreigners are certainly buying the staple freely Staple cotton goods are still rather du1et | and West are favorable.

MARKET FOR FUTURES SPECULATION IN A NARROW
 RUT The Room Contingent and the Pub lie Alike Averse to Assuming New Commitments-The
 Close Unchanged.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3i-The cotton market opened steady with prices l point lower to | point higher and for the rest of the session kept within very narrow rut with specuia- tion much of the time slmost fiat. The room contingent and the public alike were averse to assuming new commitments at time when influences were at work which were unusually conflicting. The movement of the crop was the chief bone of contention. some arguing that interior receipts were light as a natural re- suit of the severe sleet and lain storm which for several days has been central over pretty much the entire cotton belt, while others were equally positive that exhaustion of supplies is responsible for the sharp reduction in receipts. Early cables from Liverpool were quite dis appointing and combined with large port re- ceipts, to check new buying. The official es-
 inmates for tomorrows New Orleans and HOus- ton receipts fell considerably belyw the actual receipts on the same day last year. but this
 shortage had been pretty thoroughly discount ed The weekend statistics. too, had been anticipated and made no impression upon the market. Taken whole, 1t one of the most unsatis sfactory markets of recent times with commission houses in particular com plaining of dull business. The close was quiet and unchanged.

By Private Wire1
 NEW YORK. Jan. 3I.-Speculation in cot ton was on small scale this morning. Unim portant changes took place in the early prices cables were rather below expectations when we opened. A decided movement of cotton was noted in many sections, but this was ascribed mainly to the bad weather in the South, although the bulls say the bad weather is merely coincident with the falling off and that we are now at that stage when the worl1 will realize that the movement has passed the top notch and that from now on receipts will be lighter even with perfect weather condi- tions. Cables finally at decline of iz points. New York up to noon presented a forlorn appearance and hesitatng policy was observed in all directions.
 The movement for the week was 266, 646 against 227, 900 last The weekly Liv- erpool report showing in the statistical situa- tion in that market is bulish in some respects and bearish in others. Stocks of all kinds declined for the week 6,ooo bales, but still show an increase last year of 2i4.oo0 bales. while the American stocks gained 900 and now 235ooo more than last year, The amount anoat is 8 900 more than last year. of all kinds while American is 92. coo more. This looks bearish to the bears, but bullish to the bulls who laying much stress on the good trade conditions. This point seems to be well taken, for Liverpool prices have been keeping up we'll that nothing but satisfactory trade has prevented that market from yielding in price in face of the heavy movement so far of which there is no evidence as vet of its falling off materially,
