result of the sale Of 200, 900 bales on 10c
basis the farmers in a position to take
care Of the surplus amount of cotton and the {
spinnerz. having bought largely at the higher
level. will be more disposed to support the

CHICAGO Jan. Notwithstanding in
creased shipments from Argentina the wheat
market here opened with a fair degree of
frmness, May being up M0Ac at 81 14140
continued light movement In the Northwest.
Although a comparison of receipts to- day with
those OF the corresponding day year ago did
not show a sufficient decrease to create bull
ishness the figures were enough to keep alive
eome hope in the bull traders. business, how
ever, was much restricted during the early
part OF the session. pit traders being bearishly
inclined and waiting to avail themselves OF a
possible SLUMP. Weakness Of coarse grains
brought out some profit-taking in wheat by
local longs Offerings were not readily taken
and in consequence prices eased on tride.
May declining to 81 14A. Later IN the day q
firmer tone developed mainly result OF
reports of improved demand for cash wheat
at all the principal centers. factor that
helped to increase bullish sentiment was Brad.

tied much weakness, being subjected to re-

NEW YORK Jar -6-Gathering disappoint-
ment in view of the moderate investment de-
mand for stocks and over the reluctance OF
the outside public to come into the market

SOME all the week to the room-trade element
whose livelihood is dependent on motion in

news Of the day did not change from the
recent favorable tenor as Affecting property
values. Some effect may have been produced
by the report of the definite determination to
appeal the Northern Securities decision, which
it's subsequent rally did not help the stock
market. Railroads reporting earnings made
no deviation from the recent advancing ten
dency. In the cotton market the decline IN
prices was reported to be attracting at least
large buying orders from foreign spinners and
the weeks exports of were regarded as
highly gratifying. The shipments of the lat

any week in long time. This revival In
the corn movement is Of special Importance on
account of the languid outward movement of
wheat and promises an effective supply In
the foreign exchange market That market
continued to advance to-day and inquiries by
foreign bankers showed that there ie no abate-
