MORE CHEERFUL FEELING
WALL STREET RESPONDS TO HOPE
Full VENEZUELAN SENTIMENT,
but the Volume of Trading Is Small,
with Few Spots of Activity-Firm-
err Tone at the Close.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The professional
traders in stocks were in more cheerful
frame of mind to-day and expressed relief
over the good prospects reported for the
settlement of the Venezuelan difficulty
and the lifting of the blockade of the Ven
ezuelan coast There is no doubt that the
state of irritation that has accompanied
the blockade has been an influence toward
depression in the financial world. but to-
days market did not indicate conclusively
that IL was that alone that withheld peo-
pie from taking commitments in securi-
ties. The market had one or two spurts,
when an appearance Of considerable ami
nation was impaired to the trading, but
at other times the trading was stagnant.
The days activity did not rise above the
average of last week.
The weekly statistics of railroad traffic
caused an unfavorable impression by rea-
son of the far-reaching complaint of car
famine. The increase In grain receipts at
Chicago was attributed to the fact that the
east-bound roads were unable to accept
the incoming shipments from the West.
The decrease in east-bound grain ship
ments bore out this supposition. On the
other hand the west-bound shipments of
general merchandise were reported rof I'M
precedented dimensions, as has been the
case for some time past Car equipment,
motive power and trackage facilities are
reported entirely inadequate to handle the
business pressing on the railroads This
is accepted evidence of the continued
high level OF prosperous business activity
in the country. but from the standpoint
OF railroad values there is disappointment
that the enormous sums spent in the last
few years for increasing railroad facilities
of all kinds should still leave prospect of
such heavy additional requirements, while
the net earnings of railroads. owing to
the rising tide of operating expenses, are
decreasing in spite of the enormous traffic.
The large business in the country also
indicates profitable use for money which
does not promise well for the addition to
supplies available for speculative uses.
The fluctuations to-day were pretty uni
form among the stocks which have lately
constituted the market leadership Mis-
souri, Pacific was helped by reported in
crease in weekly gross earnings. General
Electric made a wide advance on intima-
tons of large earnings. Otherwise there
were no features. The markets only re-
Spouse was to occasional rumors of steps
looking TO Venezuelan settlement. The
close was very dull, but firm. at about the
top.
Bonds were dull and heavy. Total sales,
at par value, were $3.2i0C00. United States
bonds were unchanged on CALL
Following are the days share sales and
the recorded price changes:

BUT MAY WHEAT TURNS EASY AND
CLOSES LOWER.
earn IL Firm at a Small Advance,
but Oats Decline FractiOnally-
Provisions Are Easier.

CHICAGO, Jan. ga new high price for
the seasons crop was made to-day when
May wheat sold at S2Nc. but the advance
was not maintained and the close was weak
and CSC lower. May corn closed hQAc
higher and oats &c lower. Provisions closed
steady, with the May deliveries unchanged
to 21ac lower.
The wheat market was very nervous
moderate. The leader of the bull campaign
was on both sides Of the market, but the
total amount of business for his account
was small There was considerable selling
early on cables, and May declined to S1%c
after opening a shade to 6QMc lower, at
S15s@S2c, but on reports that France was
buying heavily there was quick advance,
the price selling up to S2ssc After another
decline there was rally to sac but an
easier feeling developed in the latter part
Of the session and the close was weak and
sc lower, at S1ssQs1&c after selling at size.
The news. while of all sorts, was mainly
bearish. Rains in California. reported in
creased offerings by Argentina and an in
crease in the exportable surplus, together
with rains in India, all combined to in
duce freer selling. The late weakness was
on large primary receipts, which were twice
those Of last year. being 1,1650O0 bushels,
compared with $4,000 year ago. The cash
demand was less urgent and late reports
showed q light export business. Clearances
of wheat and -four were equal to $4,000
bushels. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
receipts Of s3S cars, which, with local re-
ceipts of sixty-five cars, one of contract,
made a total of 800 cars, against S65 last
week and 3l2 q year ago.
There was good trade in corn and the
prevailing sentiment was quite bullsh in
spite Of statistics, which were generally
| bearish. Primary receipts were large and
had weakening tendency, but the cash
and export demand more than offset this
influence. The buying was mainly by COM
| mission houses and local traders. The close
was firm, with May 1sQAc higher, at 45lsc
after ranging between 44kc and 4515c Re-
ceipts were 49, cars, with none of contract
| grade.
| Oats were dull and the opening was easier
| on liberal receipts. The strength in corn
| was help and caused better feeling
early. but selling by brokers and local
traders caused a reaction, and the close
was easy, with May Ac lower, at 36d36Isc
after selling between 36c and 36lkc Re-
ceiptS were AL
strong hog market caused firmness in
provisions at the start, but the early
strength was soon lost on selling by COM
mission houses, supposed to be for the ac-
count of packers, and prices held barely
| steady. The volume of trading light.
| May pork closed unchanged at SIG 80; lard
was 212c lower, at SD.621s, while ribs were
unchanged at S9.27iR
Estimated receipts for o-morrow-Wheat

anybody could be pardoned for overlooking
the enormous proportions Of our interlake
commerce Ii Is now well known that the
tonnage passing through the Sault Sainte
Marie Canal Is far greater than the ton
mage passing through the Suez waterway
There is obviously, no reason in the ma
ture OF things why men who have served on
sailing vessels or steamships engaged In
our lake commerce should not quickly
adapt themselves TO the conditions of navi-
cation in the Atlantic or Pacific en-
pioyes either OF our national navy or OF
our merchantile marine. This is one or
those cases where he laughs longest who
laughs last The British press-gangs that
were so active in the wars against Napo-
leon were quite too shrewd 10 conf1ne their
operations TO seaport towns. The recruit
ing officers of our navy have long since ex-
tended their field OF search from seaports
10 lakeports, and OF late they have found
excellent material I'm inland districts. What
Is wanted now Is just what was wanted
wears ago, to-wit. young, healthy and Wig
orous men. IL is OF no Importance that
they may never have smelled sea water.
they will get their sea-legs In good time.
Lieut. J. =. Morton. u. 5. N, has just
trip known In recent years. he has trav-
ersed Montana. Utah. Colorado. Texas.
Arizona and New Mexico-a section or the
interior never before canvassed for navy
recruits-and he has enlisted no fewer
than l. 200 men and boys. In Texas alone
Lieutenant Morton got upwards OF 200 men.
III we may judge by this record breaking
expedition. we should find IL easy to -
cure In parts OF the country hitherto ueg-
iected the complement OF enlisted men
which our large navy requires.
