INcoNsEauENTIAL RESULTS
 7. FROM TRADING.
Estimates of Heavy Influx of Cash are Accepted With Languid -f Interest-Bond Market
 is Firm.

NEW YORK, Jan. I5.-Ths was another day of inconsequential results in the stock market and, of Iistless and neglected trading. The war scare seemed to have resumed Hs force In foreign markets and started prices downwards. but support was met, or rather the selling was discontinued. Movements tor the rest of the day were desultory and scat tered. There was some absorption of United States Steel preferred and of Amalgamated Copper, which seemed based on trade conq- tons. but these movements were without ami nation or importance. United States Realty preferred was supported and advanced points in spite of the withdrawal of important in- terests from the company and the disclosure of degree of friction in the corporation which had not been adequately understood. The ad- vance ip Pacific Mail based on a suppo- sition that the withdrawal of competing steam ships for use as transports in case of war be- tween Russia and Japan would increase tho business Of the company. The Fries were under the pressure and fell nearly point each with slight rallies on the doubt raised in the public discussion as to the declaration of 2 per cent. semi-annuai dividend on the pre- ferred. as for the last period. The provisions the declaration of a full 4 per cent dividend in a year the first preferred stock It Is rumored that the voting trust may desire, to perpetuate it's control by withholding the dki- dend as was done lately in the case of the Reading drst preferred dividend and the Southern Railway preferred dividend. The heavy influx of cash indicated by the prelmi- nary estimates of the week currency meye- ment was accepted with languid interest and the market closed barely steady and intensely dull. Estimates of the receipts of the banks on the direct express movement vary to the extent of several million dollars The sub treasury operations have yielded to the banks 0.4t2000 and the various estimates of the interior movement indicates e total net gain ip cash of twelve to fifteen million dollars. The advance in foreign exchange towards the gold export point under these circumstances Is not surprising. The December foreign trade state ment leaves doubt. however. that New York can readily command more resources with evidence of any need. Both the exports and the excess of exports over imports foY the month rise to record figures. the trade balance in our favor amounting to the formidable total Of $o6, 9S4,O8 An increase in the value or imports of upward of Si6.oo0. 900 com pared with December of last year contributes materially to this result and marks the resump tion of supply of the domestic demand by do- mestic products in place of formerly imported materials.

Sales today. $500 bales. in rludiDg $500 10 arrive. Quotations 3-I6 higher.
 Futures opened I5a2o points higher and the market became nervous with wide fluctuations. an ideal condition for the scalper. The bet ter opening vas caused by favorable Liver pool cables, reporting fairly wide advances in both spots and futures and a continuation of the brisk trading that has heen the feature of the Liverpool market for several days past After the initial advance there was q reces sion followed by another advance and another recession. The course of May illustrates the fluctuations in all months. May first advanced 23 points to lA,32. fell to APO. advanced to l43l and fell to I4. I9 and then advanced to l4 34.

But instead Of this holders have sold cotton for profits and now esi,gers have not appeared to carry on the ad- s.-aTre Two or three large interests have taken all the cotton.

Ihis means thst prices kInust hold around i4 cents and then grow aL'- kfve strong and advance over l4h cents into hew ground. New buying will come in then And carry on the advance easily. From the kfandpoint of the investor. there are few in- kll1rernents to enter the market at the moment.

 iRv Private Leased Mlra1

NEW YORK, Jan. IS-rhe Liverpool mar ket this morning was In a much better shape than looked for and advices from there de- scribed the situation as favorable for rise, owing mainly to the fact that shorts were numerous and good deal of anxiety arose from the smaller movement. The day here started with small receipts for the day. while tho weekend figures were also small; in fact a distinct decrease is shown in the movement Just as was forecasted 1t would he after the new year. If this falling of continues until February it will be useless to look for any thing but further rise. especially as the short interest hes increased considerably of late. Prices opened higher by Io9I3 points on general buying and then worked down to a lower level. although the port receipts pointed to no more than 10000 for the day. as against 34 900 last year. Later still the small re- ceipts could not be ignored and shorts grew nervous when Southern dlspc tches announced that receipts before long would surely confirm smallest crop estimates. The in sight figures for the week were 5o.ooo behind last week and this. too, made bears very cautious and brought in new orders for the long side. Gables were 3G4 points higher and estimates for tomorrow were small. New York stock is 66, 900.

 NEW YORK, Jan. l 5 Cotton futures in the local market today opened firm in tone with first prices at an advance of l2G2l points. The advance was the direct result of relative Axrength in the English market Liverpool be- ing higher on moderate purchases. The re- eelpts were small and this also gave strength 10 the bull party. Southern spot markets were fixu but offerings were light and the demand aNas only moderate. On the better levels early sn the day there considerable selling for nronts for the account of bull interests and these offerings served to reduce the anxieyt Of the bears to reduce their commitments. As 4fa day wore the market became quiet in eunsauuence Pf a disposition on the part of many trading interests to hold off pending more definite news from the Far East, the s,nrts via London being quite conflicting. In some circles 1t was stated that was about 4a be declared. while on the other hand, there were reports that the differences being nraauaiIy adjusted. The reduction ths week &n tie port receipts served to make the week rFa statistics rather bullsh and consequently s,sl this score there some bullish comment. The late advices were rather irregular and the market on the close was feverish and quite uncertain. The professional interests, however, showed plainly that they were still in control aeneraily The estimated port receipts for the iay were 20. GOO. against 34.478 for the same slav last year.

Chica D Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO. Jan. l4.--Renowed fear fwar pulled up both grain and provisions today. May wheat closed at an advance of <. corn # and oats B4lc Provisions gained 59l7c.
 Wheat held steady during the first part of the session mainly on account of the pit crowd to launch out on what was considered trou- hope for profit on either side of tha market and in consequence orders for small traders were the rule. Opening prices were a tride hrger influenced by decline in consols and indications that a more acute phase in the war situation had been reached. May was up M9x at 979s7k. and during the early hours Of trading the price ranged between SC ana 0Fh. On report stating that grave news vas momentarily expected from the Far East the market became suddenly active Those who had sold short earlier in the session be- came extremely anxious to cover and there was also good demand from the bull element From SIS May rapidly rose to 97%, with small offerings until the price had passed the STlkc mark. Tho demand continued good the remainderof the day and the close was strong with May at s7%. Clearances of wheat and -four were equal to l96. 400 bushels. Primary receipts were 75o.5o0 bushels. compared with 57o, 800 bushels a year ago. Exports of wheat and flour for the week. according to Brad streets. were 2I77,ooo bushels Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 449 cars, against 474 ears last week and 442 cars year ago.
 Corn was in good demand and firm after A light indication of weakness early in the day Liverpool cables were lower and advices from
 
 easier tone at the start. Later in the session the war news became a factor and induced short covering. Offerings were light due to the smsll receipts with no improvement in gfading. Under these conditions prices made good gains. but at the advance there was con siderable profit taking and some reaction fol- lowed. The close. however, was firm After opening unchanged to hc lower at 4sss to 46l5 May advanced to 4ek and closed at 49Jt. Io- cal receipts were 3le cars. with four of con- tract grade.
 Oats were up sharply with trading at times quite excited. The holder of a big long line was an active buyer and this Induced consid- erable buying by smaller traders while shorts covered freely. A big cash demand which was hard to fill on account of scarcity Of offer iugs was the bull influence. although the war news helped to advance prices; Closing prices were strong and at the top. May opened un- changed to 1sc higher at 4o%G4o4 sold be- tween 4ohGAo% and AI1i14I%, closing at 4Ih@4lS. Local receipts were Io4 cars.
 Provisions were weak early on lower prices for hogs. but later the market advanced on war news and on the strength shown in grain Shorts were the best buyers On the advance there was some profit taking but prices were well maintained. the close being at about the high point.
