NEW YORK STOCKS AND BOND
Market Spurts once or Twice, but
Usually Trade L. stngnant.

NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-The professional
traders In stocks were in a more cheerful
frame Of mind today and expressed relief
over the good prospects reported for the
settlement OF the Venezuelan difficulty and
the htung of the blockade Of the Vene-
state of irritation that has accompanied
the blockade has been an influence toward
depression In the financial world, but did
not indicate that Il was that alone which
withheld people from taking commitments
In securities. The market had one or two
spurts and then an appearance OF consider
able animation was impaired to trading,
but at other times the trading was actually
%stegnant.
The average of the days activity did not
rise above that of last week. The weekly
statistics of railroad traffic caused an un-
favorable impression by reason OF the far
reaching complaint OF car famine. The in
crease in grain receipts at Chicago was
attributed to the fact that the eastbound
roaOs were unable to accept the incoming
shipments from the west. The decrease In
cas- tpound grain shipments bore out this
supposition, On the other hand the west.
were reported of unprecedented 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 upon the
railroads. This Is accepted as evidence
of the continued high level of prosperous
business activity in th1 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 leave
the prospect Of such heavy additional re-
quirements, while the net earnings of rail-
roads, owing to the rising tide OF operating
expenses, are decreasing in spite of the
enormous traffic. The large business in
the country also indicates a profitable use
for money, which does not promise well
for the addition to supplies available Tor
speculative uses.
The bond market gives equal evidence OF
the preference of capital for other forms OF
employment at this time. The par value OF
| bonds dealt in last week on the Stock ex-
change was only $13, 200, 900, compared with
S24, $40, 500 in the corresponding week or last
year. There seems as much Discrimination
to sell securities as to buy, so that II 3
found easy to lift prices within the narrow
range demanded by the day to day opera
lions of room traders.
The fluctuations today were pretty, uni
form amongst the stocks which have lately
constituted the market leadership. MIS-
souri, Pacific was helped by a reported IN
crease in weekly gross earnings. General
Electric made a wild advance on lntirna-
ions of large earniI. gs. Otherwise there
was no features. The markets only re-
sponse was to occasional rumors to steps
looking to a Venezuelan settlement. The
closing was dull, but firm, at about the top.

lOIdl ..............s.. 4,4o4 0,O0S QUIZ
CATTLE-Receipts of cattle were quite
liberal today and buyers started in from
the first to buy their supplies a little lower.
Sellers thought they ought to get steady
prices, so that trading was slow from start
TO finish.
The morning was well advanced before
much of anything was done in the beef
steer line. The quality OF the offerings as
a whole was not very good, and on the
bulk of the cattle buyers were bidding
made that looked right close to steady, but
1t was very evident that packers were set
on taking off a little. and they apparently
did not care whether they got much today
or not. Under such circumstances sellers
found 1t a difficult matter to get steady
prices.
The cow market was also slow and could
be quoted steady to a dime lower. The
sales that looked steady were scarce. while
those that were 5Q10c lower were very
common. Sellers did not like the idea of
| taking off anything, so that II was rather
late before the bulk Of the cattle was dis
posed of. All kinds suffered, the good
ones as we'll as the medium and common
stun.
Bulls were slow sale. but did not seem
to be much of any lower. Veal calves held
just about steady.
The supply of stockers and feeders was
very limited, and as the demand for the
better grades was in good shape the market
ruled active and strong. The
grades did not show any Improvement In
price, but II seemed to be a little easier to
dispose of them than one most days last
week. Representative sales;

Of Trade
WHEAT REACHES SEASONS HIGH RECORD
May Delivery jumps q EiEhty-Tuo
and Three-auarters, but soon
Falls to T~hree-EiEhths Lower
Than Opening Price.

CHICAGO, Jan. PA new high price for
this seasons crop was made To-Day, when
May wheat sold at &c, but the advance
was. not maintained, and the close was
weak and &C lower. May corn closed IA
&c higher. while oats were &c lower. Pro-
Visions closed steaoy, with the May de-
llveries unchanged TO 21zc lower.
The wheat market was a nervous affair
and trading In general was oniy moderate.
The leader of the bull campaign was on
both sides Of the market, out the total
amount Of business tor his account was
early on cables and May declined to S14c,
after opening a shade TO hDAc lower al
Sl1sc to SIC, but on reports that France was
buying heavily there was a quick advance,
the price selling up S2ssc. After another
decline there was a rally to sac but an
easier feeling developed in the latter part
of the session. and the close was weak and
&c lower at SlH4SlAc, after selling at
Slzc.. The news, while o. all sorts. was
ported increased offerings by Argentine and
an increase in the expOrtable surplus, to-
induce freeI selling. The late weakness was
on large primary receipts, which were twice
those of last year, being l,l65,OU bushels,
compared with $4,000 a year ago. The cash
demand was less urgent and late reports
showed a light export business. The
amount On passage showed a decrease of
$4,000 bushels, and the visible supply de-
creased 612.UOO bushels. ClearanCes OF wheat
and -four were equal to $50, 900 bushels; Min
cars. which. with local receipts or So cars,
l Of contract grade, made total receipts for
the three points Of 93 cars, against 500 cars
last week and 32 a year ago.
There was a good trade in corn and the
prevailing sentiment was quite bullish, in
spite Of statistics, which were generally
bearish. Primary receipts were large and
had a 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 1Su4c higher at
45hc, after ranging between 445bc and 45lac.
Local receipts were 465 cars, with none of
contract grade, the weather being rather
unfavorable for both the movement and
grading.
Oats were dull and the opening was easier
on liberal receipts. The strength In corn
was a help and caused a better feeling, but
selling by brokers and local traders caused
a reaction and the close was easy, with
May &c lower at 32I32lsc, after selling be
tween 36c and 3611c. Local receipts were All
cars.
A strong hog market caused frmness In
provisions at the start, but the early
strength was soon lost on seiliLg by COM
mission houses, supposed to be for the ac-
count OF packers. and prices held barely
steady. The volume of trading was light.
MPy pork closed unchanged at $1,000, May
lard was PIC lower at S9.62k, while ribs
were unchanged at S9.27h.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
% cars; corn, $50 cars; oats, $3.50 cars; hogs,
$1,000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

CHICAGO, Jan. 26-WHEAT-At one
time wheat advanced to S2Ac for May, but
all this advance was lost and the market
closed at almost the low point of the day.
Gables were Indifferent. Reports were con-
nlctIng as 10 export wheat situation. One
house here reported wheat sold direct 20
France at 1hc better than Saturday. An
other house said its offers to France were
refused and lower bids asked for. The
demand from Germany was not so good,
frlVate direct cables reported Argentine
weather unsettled. Broomhall said the
of the Argentine surplus were
increasing to a 120, OGO,OOC-bushel crop, COM
pared with a 5000, OOO-bushel average of
ate years The visible supply decreased
only 5,69S 900 bushels. There was a decrease
on passage of $4,000 bushels. Clearances
were $4,000 bushels. At one time there
was an advance in cash wheat at Duluth
of lisc. There was influential selling here
on, the large increase in the northwest and
bushels, against $4,000 bushels last year,
and the former 1873 cars. against $50 cars a
year ago Minneapolis said its big arrivals
arrive" Local receipts were Go cars, with
l contract. Estimates for Tuesday, rs cars.
,CORN-Market has been Arm; up nc for
the active futures early, but lost part of
this advance later. Cash market was &c
lower, influenced by, the car situation, with
elevators. There were fair offerings from
the west for thirty to sixty days shipments
and there was a fair demand from the
east on the same terms. Cash houses say
{, very large business could be done with
the east II cars were available. Primary
receipts were $500 bushels, against 443, 900
last year; primary shipments. 416, 1000
bushels, against S39, 600 a year ago; clear
Gnces, $4,000 bushels. New York reports
TWO loads taken for export. Local cash
sales were 200,OOO bushels, the visible sup
ply increased $50, 900 bushels and local stocks
are 2,5oS.OOO bushels, an increase of 292, 600.
Corn on passage decreased 903, 900 bushels
and worlds shipments only 1888, 900, almost
all from America. Local receipts were 465
cars, with none contract. for
Tuesday, $50 cars. There were 20 cars OF
c~ortract out OF private elevators. Exports
Tor the week ending January "a from At
.,ntic ports were 1861. 900 bushels. against
~ coo the same week last year.
LATS-Market has been small; firm early.
with wheat, but yielding later on the larger
receipts and weakness in cash. The car
situation had most to do with the break of
&c In cash. Local receipts were AL cars. or
~ over the estimate, with 10 cars standard.
for tomorrow, 3SS cars. Clear
ances. 5000 bushels.
PRONISlONS-Market was steady early
In sympathy with a sc advance I'm the hog
market and hog receipts of 4.O0 head under
the estimate, but the advance was lost
later. There was ak OF slow cash de-
mand. There was selling OF lard and ribs
by packers through commission houses.
Hog receipts in the west today were G., 200

SHEEP-The demand for sheep and
lambs this morning was fully equal TO the
supply and an active and firm market
resulted. Buyers were all out early and
the offerings soon began to move toward
the scales. Mexican yearlings sold as high
as $500 and western lambs brought 1915.
Ewes sold up to $.15. The inferior grades
did not change hands quite as freely as
the good stun, but stil thep rices paid
Feeders were again very scarce and the
market could be quoted steady, as there is
quite an inquiry for desirable grades.
