Endorsement were received from many

effort has been made to settle any mat
ter in dispute by submitting the same
either to the permanent court at The

GRAIN MARKETS ARE
AGAIN BULLISH
Prices Are Strong at the Open
ing, but Profit Taking
Causes a Decline.

The wheat market opened strong and
higher on renewed rumors of war in the
far East. The outside markets shared in
the advance. Later the warlike news was
contradicted and prices then slumped In
profit-taking. Corn and oats followed the
action of wheat. Oats were very strong
and there was a fair trade.
Stocks weakened yesterday. Led by
London the market suffered a general de-
cline. The close was dull and trade was
light. The character OF the transactions
was professional.
What the Brokers Say.
M. Doran & Co.'S Chicago grain letter
Wheat-The market started strong
from 1ac to 1c a bushel higher on open
buying by the long interest and 1c ad-
vance on the Minneapolis curb, which re-
fiected lower consols. The bull interest
and commission houses turned sellers and
a &c decline resulted, which was helped
by a New York wire claiming that Japan
had accepted the Russian proposition.
While the Eastern situation and long in
terest were the chief factors there was
precipitation in the Southwest on the
map and no snow. covering through KAN
sas Receipts at Southwestern points are
smaller and shipments at both Kansas
City and st. Louis are much heavier. The
Minneapolis May kept pace with ours and
large miller is reported, to be the princi-
pal buyers. Liverpool closed CSC higher.
Consols closed 7-16 lower.
Corn-Corn was strong with commission
houses the most conspicuous buyers, and
the trade at times was large. In addition
to war news the cash situation contribut-
ed to the strength. The country move
ment in Central Illinois is very light and
farmers are offering nothing and the heavy
snow throughout the northerly section and
through Indiana will lessen the movement
there. The quality of arrivals is very
poor. the bulk inspecting No. and no
grade. The cash market is good.
Oats-Oats were strong throughout the
session and trading at times was large.
Commission houses were on the buying
side. The cash market was help, rul-
ing from 1Ac to 1c higher, and the demand
for shipment is good
O'Connor & Van Bergen's stock letter
says:
A decline in London, steady selling from
there in this market and a reversal of the
trading sentiment in the room made a
lower market with a sagging tone
throughout the day. Mondays profess
sional buyers sold and some Joined the
bear side. The dealings were on small
scale and were significant of little than
the absence of outside interest. The re-
viVal of the war scare was the basis of
the decline. but there are indications that
some of the London selling originated
here. The close was dull and fiat, but not
weak. Money was pressed in the market
by banks in large amounts, and call rates
fell to per cent. Sterling exchange was
strong.

NEW YORK, jan 1.-THE revival Of
anxiety over the far Eastern outlook made
itself manifest in the yielding tendency OF
prices of stocks again today, as well as OF
cotton, while grains consistently advanc-
ed. The effect was much more noticeable,
however, in the almost total killing or
speculative interest. During the after
noon the stock market became practically
stagnant. The dribble Of stocks was suffl-
cient to cause a slow downward tendency
of prices, but there was as much lack OF
aggressiveness on the part of the bears
as Of the bulls. In fact. there was eVi=
dence Of some desire on the part OF bears
to cover shorts in a few stocks .2'-
The borrowing demand for Pennsylva-
MIA in the loan crowd pointed to an un-
covered short interest. The firmness of
this stock in the face of the depression
elsewhere caused some Credence to be
given to the persistent rumors of plan of
adjus tmnt of points of antagonism being
worked out in official consultations be-
tween the Pennsylvania and the wabash
interests. There was a demand for Anal
gamated Copper also to cover shorts. The
early firmness of this stock was attribut-
able in part to the encouraging reports of
trade conditions, especially the large for
eign demand for copper and the large IN
crease in foreign consumption, judged by
the lack Of impression upon European
stocks made by the large purchases OF
the last few months.
Steel Is Languld.
The movement in United States Steel
preferred was languid, but the volume of
trading in it was fairly maintained. The
advance announced in the prices of wire
products was a favoring factor, but the
consumers of steel rails were reported
dissatisfied and holding back from pur-
chasing. The corporations announcement
of the renewed offer to employees of pre-
ferred stock with privileges to receive a
bonus on earnings and the reduction of
the price to $55 share instead of $3.50,
as in the preceding Offer was received
with varied comments.
The poor response of yesterdays mar
ket to the then favorable far Eastern
news was a subject of disappointed COM
ment, giving rise to fears that the alb
stention from the market of investors
and large buyers might have some other
motive than the threatened war. The
ease of money in the face of call upon
the Lake Shore debenture bar syndicate
for a 67k installment of the $40, ,000 900
maturing Lake Shore notes gave assur-
ance that no pressure upon the money
market could account for the listless at
titude of buyers towards stocks. The
market closed without effectual recov-
cry.
