WHEAT WAS BULusH
When Shorts Wanted to Cover
the Grain Was Scarce.
LONG SIDE IS SAFE SIDE
May Option Touched 90 Cents
and Held There.

Chicago, Jan. 1a.-The crowd in the
wheat pit was bearish at the start on an
improved outlook regarding the war situ-
alton. The peaceful utlerances of the
car were reflected on fair advance in
the minds of shorts To give further
assurances prices in foreign grain mar
kets were lower. As a result, opening
quotations here were easy, May being un-
changed to &c lower, at S6ss@sS7sc Dur
ing the early Part of the session there
was considerable selling by professionals
and prices were Inclined toward lower
levels. Support by the leading long. how
ever, prevented any great loss, MAY hold

of big -four demand at Minneapolis APP
peared to effect the sensitive local shorts
Those who had sold on the early bearish-
ness suddenly wanted the wheat, but. to
their sorrow, offerings were not forth
coming. The market assumed a bullish
aspect and prices started upward. The
market was further strengthened by the
announcement of a decrease OF $3.50. 900
bushels in the worlds visible supply fig
ures. The strength in outside markets
also deepened the feelings of conviction
in the minds of many traders that The
long side was the safe side of wheat.
In consequence, an active demand pre-
the advance May sold up to 90c and al
though there was heavy realizing gat that
figure offerings were well taken and the

Provisions had firm undertone and
business was Of liberal volume and
mostly for outside account. There was
buying by commission houses for invest
ment account and at the same time a
good deal Of selling by holders with prf-
its on the hard spots. An advance of
5@10c in prices for hogs helped to
strengthen the sentiment, while the higher
prices In grains were a late bull factor.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Jan. l9-The promise held
out by the late stock market of yesterday
was not fully realized today. There was
a growth in the volume OF the dealings
and in the breadth of the demand but
the animation did not hold good through
out the session. and The gains were yield
ed for the most part before the closing,
which was irregular.
Great hopes of an eniivened market
were built on the special activity and
strength yesterday OF Rock Island and
United States Steel preferred and the sec
ond mortgage per cent bonds. These
movements were regarded as evidence OF
return 10 speculative activity of some
of the leading capitalists of the time
who have refraned from any notable
opera lions in the market for some time.
The coming issue of the new refunding
bond issue of the Chicago. Rock Island
and Pacific railway was supposed to ac-
count for The re-entry into the market of
one party, and the activity of Steel was
attributed to the stock conversion. This
seemed to indicate an element of strong
leadership in the market. the lack of
which is supposed to have been the prin-
cipal cause of the persistent sluggishness
of the market since the turn of the year.
The professional and semi-professional
element of the speculation therefore came
into the marSet with much enthusiasm
this morning United States Steel sold
ex-dividend of ~ per cent and when the
price rose to 5Sl4, equivalent to 60 with
the dividend on it became manifest that
very heavy selling orders would have TO
be absorbed before the price could make
further advance.
There was manifest heavy realizing in
Amalgamated Copper. which carried it
off a point below last night during the
course of the day Rock Island issues
also failed to maintain the buoyant tone
Of yesterday. These developments in so
important a group OF stocks had a dis
couraging effect on the bulls and the SUBJ
sequent speculation showed a lack of en-
thusiasm.
The growing abundance of money re-
sources seemed to have attractions again
only for parties of operators in stocks of
small railroad and industrial companies,
and this class of securities again assumed
the predominance in the market. There

Cific. Realizing sales were resumed on the
