CHICAGO CHANGE.

CHICAGO, Jan. S1.-Professional wheat
spectators turned beariSh in sentiment
To-Day, and though corn worked stubborn
~ against the influence, prices ruled low
er all around. May wheat closed with a
loss of 5s9a4c, May corn 1Z03sc and May
oats 72c. Provisions closed a shade to sc
lower.
Wheat had a heavy feeling all through
the session. Routine news, while favor
ing buyers to some extent was mostly
Indifferent. Gables were slightly lower,
Argentine shipments We're still much
smaller than a year ago and the receipts
in the Northwest We're light. The South
western markets were bullish and on the
breaks scalpers bought and shorts COW
cred. Trade was light in volume This
led spectators to the argument that BUSH
ness was too small to hold the advance
in the market, and the pit turned bear
ish. The seaboard reported a slack ex-
port demand and persistent selling caus-
ed declines. The fluctuations were small.
with a steady lower trend May opened
shade to 1s014c lower at 7815c to 7S2sc,
sold down to 77&c, and after small re
ACTIONS closed weak at 5S@84c lower at
7734@777sc.
Local receipts were only IL cars. Min
neapolis and Duluth reported 249 cars,
making a total for the three points Of
2 $50 cars against S27 cars. last week and
379 cars year ago Argentine shin
ments were 800, 600 bu, compared to 720 900
bu last year. Primary receipts were S97-
00O bu; last years were 402, 600 blu. Sea-
DOaru clearanceS in wheat and flour
equaled $4,000 bu. Bureau statistics at
Washington reported three-fifths of the
wheat exported from this country in De.
cember was from the Pacific coast 5, $780,
coo bu
Corn. struggled to maintain it's strength,
but gradually slipped down in company
with wheat. AT the opening slightly high
err cables and the firmness of the Kansas
City market exerted considerable influ-
ence. Receipts at the Western mart are
falling off considerably and reports state
an indisposition on the part of the hold
erS to sell. Dry weather, in Argentina
threatens the crop. All told the markets
here showed a firm undertone. But trade
was light and the wheat veal ness made
itself felt May corn, which sold early
at 631sQ6314c fuctuated narrowly, but
ended in a net loss of 12@5sc at the close,
weak at 6212c Receipts were 81 cars
Trade in oats were light, with no con
spicuous action one way or the other
The opening was unchanged and for
time the tone was firm Brokers say that
the public and local traders have been
frightened out of the market by reason
Of its recent antics. At one time early
there was dip, but there was a quick
recovery until corn began sliding down.
ceipts were 81 cars.
Provisions We're quiet with very narrow

CATTLE-Receipts of cattle and calves
for this week will aggregate about 1000
head, fairly good run for this seasoa
and considerably ahead of the CORE
spending period year ago In the butch-
er cattle division the better grades have
been very active at fully steady prices
but there has been a slump in common
and medium stuff. We are of the opinion
that Gamers and common steer stuff are
% cents lower than last week, while cut
tiers are 10G15 cents lower The cattle
are moving readily, however, at the lower
prices. The drop has not been due to an
oversupply at this point, but to heavy
declines at controlling points Veals are
steady and active. In the stock and feed
ing division the best feeders are selling
about steady with last week. Common
and lightweight feeders are 15625 cents
lower. The stocker trade is very slow.
with prices, even on the better grades,
1905 cents lower than last week. and
with no demand at any price for the COM
mon and tail-end stuff. The mich COW
market is slow. with ne quotable change
in prices.

under yesterday and 25d30 cents under
last weeks close. There can be but lit
tie doubt that Eastern packers are using
every effort to force prices down. and
the local market has suffered in conse-
quence as buyers here are compelled to
keep in line in order to compete with the
products of outside plants We have
had satisfactory run of hogs this week
IN SO far as numbers go, but the quality.
with the exception of a few scattering
loads, has bordered on the common all
week. We look for no advance in prices,
and can only advise shippers to keep in
close touch with market conditions.
SHEEP-Receipts have been moderate
this week, while the demand has been
good for all kinds. Until today the mar
ket has ruled firm to a shade higher
than last week, and while prices paid
today were steady, there was weak I'M
dercurFent to the market owing to de-
ciines at Eastern points We think. how
ever, that the market win hold fairly
steady. and there is and will be a good
sale for all good quality sheep ana
lambs.
Very truly.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The market to-
day reflected the encouragement of ope~-
ators over the persistent determination
of the outside public and the large money
interests to refrain from speculation in
stocks. The failure of successive news
developments to induce any interest in
the speculation causes increasing neglect
even on the part of the professional
operators. There were some notable indt-
vidual movements today, but the market
as whole was trivial and inconSequen-
tial. The most conspicuous movement
was in Delaware, LackaWanna & West
ern, which rose by rapid stages, making
a new high record at each stage, to 2S1K;
1t was expected that the annual report
would be issued today, and the street
forecast of earnings is of rate of Is t.
20 per cent. The report was withheld
from publication, but the directors were
in session. Rock Island made a notable
advance of 512 points on light dealings,
the market supply of this stock being
scarce.
American Linseed, after early weak
ness, rose So over last night, and tie
preferred 4, on account of the advance in
the price of linseed oil. Southern Pacific
led the market in point of activity, bit
its narrow price movement indicated ac-
tive profit taking, which carried it below
last nights level The speculation con-
tinued very active in Amaigamated Cop
per, which rose 1$s, lost it all, and then
rose rs again at the close.
Sugar continued depressed because of
fears that the duties on Cuban sugars
would be maintained, and Peoples Gas
suffered a sharp break without explana-
ton
Tomorrows bank statement is expected
to be strong, as cash has moved freely
from the interior and the banks have
shown themselves anxious to place loans.
1t is believed that the deposits of the To-
cal trust companies with the banks have
been increased during the week. These
deposits represent accommodations of in
est and dividend profits, which are with
held from reinvestment. This is inter
preted as a symptom of the dissatisfac-
ton Of capital with the present pricG
level of securities
Bonds were less active today and were
irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,250.-
900. United States refunding Is declined
s, and the IS, coupon, n per cent on the
