STOCK MARKET is DEAD
FEW MOVEMENTS OF THE DAY CON-
FINED TO THE MORNING.
These Were Almost Entirely without
Significance - No Improvement
shown I'm Monetary Conditions.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2s.-To-day's stock
market flattened out entirely. and by mid
day there was little or no power left in the
market. Traders displayed some ingenuity
in trying to explain the late reaction of
yesterday which nullifed the early gains.
1t was argued that the long interests in
wheat were forced to unload some stocks
to protect their holdings in the
sharp slump. This aroused hopes that
the decline in stocks was only
temporary and that the advance would
be renewed this morning. but an attempt
to put up prices met with active selling in
Pennsylvania, which caused that stock a
point loss. unexplained by any news. Anal
gamated Copper made some show of
strength on rather vague supposition that
conditions in the trade were adjusted to a
basis that would prove profitable for the
feebly from time to time, but did not long
maintain their new position.
There was reported hardening tendency
in the London money market, but sterling
exchange moved downward here. Our own
money market was appreciably firmer. The
subtreasury has reversed its recent tenden-
cy to contribute to the money market, and
has commenced to take a small sum each
day. The current redemption of national
bank notes has been very heavy, but de-
posits Of legal tenders for the retirement
of the bank notes will soon be in order.
Banks throughout the country are in the
habit of doing this through the New York
correspondents. Meantime, the government
continues to collect daily surplus of rev.
enue, which will make itself more felt with
the retirement of bank notes.
The Wabash net earnings for December
showed the gain in gross earnings practic-
ally wiped out by the increase in operating
expenses, conforming to the showing OF
other railroads, except the anthracite coal
ers, and failing to show results of increase
in freight rates which went into effect in
December, from which benefits to earnings
We're hoped. The failure of yesterdays
slump in wheat to develop buying orders
for export was considered unsatisfactory In
its relation to the exchange market, but
confidence is felt that a cessation of the
bull campaign in wheat will be for the ad
vantage of the export trade.
The bond market was dull and generally
heavy. Total sales at par value were 81.
| 196.OOO United States bonds were un
| changed on last call.

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
BAD WEATHER HAS LITTLE EFFECT
on BUSINESS ACTIVITY.
Butter Declines Again, but Eggs Are
Very Firm-Flour II NervOus-Grain
Markets Continue Light.

Despite the unfavorable weather condi-
tions trade on the wholesale streets and on
Commission row yesterday was quite act
i've. Country roads are still solid and re-
tail grocers are enabled to get their goods
from the railway stations, and as their
stocks have been considerably reduced,
they are free buyers, and orders sent in by
travelling statesmen are very satisfactory.
One unpleasant factor is the car shortage
on the railroads, which delays the freight
movement more or less, but is not so
troublesome as earlier in the month. Flour
is quite unsettled, but prices locally are
much the same as for some weeks past.
Apples, potatoes and other fruits and vege-
tables are selling quite well. The reduced
prices noted in yesterdays markets i'm
proved the trade somewhat. There is an
ample supply of apples, potatoes and fruits
and vegetables of all kinds. Demand has
been slow but is improving. Southern prod
uce is moving fairly well. with supply am
pie for demand. Poultry conditions are I'M
changed. Supplies are moderate and de-
mand good, with prices stiff. Elgin butter
has gone off another cents and the local
butter market is easier. Eggs are weaker.
There are a great many storage eggs yet
to be disposed of, which naturally affects
fresh stock, as consumers prefer to pay a
little more and get fresh eggs. Cheese is
good property. with prices firm. Grocers
are busy. Sugars are steady and move well
for this season of the year. Roasted cof-
fees carry an easier tone. Canned goods, on
an active demand, are considerably firmer
and advances are probable. Druggists re-
port trade as unusually active. There Is a
good deal of sickness in the country and
the demand for vaccination shields and
virus, says one of the druggists. is large
beyond precedent. The seed market is
more active and inquiries indicate a big
spring trade In other lines there is nothing
