Of its parallax by Sir David Gill,

astronomers, J. Il. Gore, computed
from photometric considerations that
its mass IL probably $1,000 times that
Of the sun AS il rule, the tendency
Of astronomers IL L doubt whether
such differences as these figures inn
ply exist among the CELESTIAL orbs. but
undoubtedly the mass Of Antares
must be exceptional. Mr.. Larkin Of
the Lowe observatory, California,
points out that round this great star
is a wide region about as void Of
stars ms any known to the telescope"
Many starless fields are encountered
In the heavens. These blackencd and

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.--Selling pre-
dominated over buying in todays stock
market operations, but the transact
tions were no less strictly professional
than they have been ever since New
Years. The traders seemed prompted
to sell mainly by their disappointment
over the futility of previous attempts
TO get prices higher. Some of the days
developments offered a nominal cause
for the depression. but there was little
evidence of real liquidation, the traders
simply endeavoring to anticipate what
the action would be of real holders Of
stocks.
There is undoubtedly considerable
unsettlement of mind among speculat-
ors over the varying and contradictory
reports from Washington regarding the
legislative program. The weight of
opinion today was definitely on the side
of aggressive insistence by the presi-
dent upon measures to regulate rail-
road freight rates and corporation af-
fairs, with the question of tariff revis-
ion relegated to the background. The
financial district showed its usual SEN
sitiveness to the animation of these
subjects. The action taken by the
Pennsylvania directors toward fifty
million-dollar bond issue had an ad-
verse effect on bullish sentiment, al
though some such action has been
pretty CLEARLY eXpeCleu. IL mas Deen
urged by the advocates of active spec
ulation that great interests which have
these new issues in view would be
anxious to foster an active stock mar
ket to assist in floating them. But that
did not prevent a characteristic revers-
al of the point of view in today's trad
ing to the apprehension that the pros
pect of new offerings would stagnate
the demand for securities already in
the market.
Some of the stocks which have had
the benefit recently of rumors OF in
creased dividends were notable suffer-
ers in today's reaction. The action of
these stocks had n large sympathetic
effect on the whole list.
Rather more active inquiry was re-
ported for time loans for the longer
periods and the further advance in
foreign exchange offered no prospect of
any cessation of the outward move
ment of gold, although discounts in
London were appreciably easier Lon
don was seller in this morning, how
ever, on balance, as was Paris in the
London market, in spite of the report
ed success Of the Russian loan in Ber-
lin. The closing was heavy.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value, $4,615,0 900.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Conflicting Reports Cause Fluctuations
In May Wheat Prices
BY Assoclated Press.


CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-Following lower
prices at Liverpool the wheat market
here was rather weak at the opening,
May being off shade to M@N at
$1.16A to $1.17M. The weakness of for
eign markets was said to be due to q
report from Odessa to the effect that
the wheat crop of Southern Russia is
in excellent condition. The heavy fall
of snow In the United States through
out the west and southwest was re-
ported as affording ample protection
Tor the winter wheat crop of this coun-
try. There has previously been consid-
erable anxiety as to the possible dam
age by cold weather. The bulls, how
ever, found encouragement in the con-
tinued small movement in the north
west. How much of the falling off
in receipts was due to the extreme
cold weather and how much to the
smallness of reserves was of course a
matter Of conjecture. For a time
there appeared to be q preponderance
Of selling orders in the pit In conse-
quence prices eased off a trifle. Later
the market suddenly became quite
strong on fairly active demand from
On the bulge May sold up to S1.171s
Toward the close the market became
quite weak, May declining to $1161h
Final quotations were at $116h@1165s.
Early in the session rather firm
undertone was manifested in the corn
market, but later selling by scalpers
caused an easier tone. May closed *
on down at 44iRc.
The situation in the oats pit was lit
tie changed. May closed at 31Ac.
Provisions were firm early as a re-
suit of higher prices for hogs at the
yards Later on profit taking an cas-
ier feeling developed. At the close
May pork was off 21ac, ribs were un-
changed snd lard was a shade lower.
Out of respect to the memory Of
former President Charles D. Hammill,
who died last night, the board of trade
will close at IL o'clock tomorrow.
