NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-The volume of
the stock market expanded again today,
ana some of the movements were ex-
= cited and nsational, but the activity
was even more congested than the re-
cent tendency in that direction, and
tne general level of prices was not much
more benefited than yesterday.
M In other words, it was clear that the
effort was made to take advantage of
the stimulating effect of the excited
advances to sell stocks in other quar-
ters of the market. It might almost
be said of Reading that 5000 shares was
the normal unit of the transactions in
II, so frequent was the appearance of
bO00 share lots on the tape. The total
outstanding issue of Reading common
stock amounts to / .400,0 900 shares. 1t Is
known that a large part of these have
been taken out of the market and dis
tributed to different railroad compan-
les to insure the balance of control of
this property, although the controlling
interest is believed to depend more on
preferred stock holdings than on the
common But Reading has often given
evidence of the large reduction of it's
floating supply.
Sales for a single day of $4,000
shares, which was the total reached
today may be safely assumed to rep
resent large proportion of matched
orders and manipulative transactions
Probably the manifest character of the
operations accounted for their lack of
effective influence on the general list
The entire lack of news to account for
the movement and the high level to
which the price had already been lift
ed considering the dividend return
helped to beget doubt for the move
ment and fears for the maintenance of
the price level.
Tho nj in, IN 70 ~
ern especially and in the other coalers
to a less degree was supposed to be
sympathetic and was equally without
explanation in the news of the day.
The news was not lacking in favorable
j factors, but did not apply especially to
the stocks which moved most widely
The announcement of the settlement
of the Fall River strike was received
with Sratifification as serving to clear
up the situation in one of the few in
dustrial quarters which has Jagged in
the trade. expansion, The absorption
of two minor railroads which have
been within it's sphere of influence by
the New York Central gave some early
strength to the stock.
The whole list gave way, however
with some violence in the last hour
when the suspicious engendered by the
character of the days trading had
come to a head.
The falling off of upwards of $4S,-
OO0,0OO in the trade balance in our fa-
vor for December, due both to in
creased imports and the heavy decline
In exports, was not regarded as
cheerful showing and gave promise of
the continued ability of the worlds
outside markets to draw our gold sup
ply.
The market rallied with considerable
force in the final dealings, led by Bal
timore and Ohio with rise of 1%,
and the closing was quite strong, but
only a fraction generally above the
lowest.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
May Wheat Opened Strong and Closed
at St.t6 IA
ev Assoclated Press.


CHICAGO, Jan. 1S-From start to
finish the wheat market was strong.
AT the opening May was hm%c higher
at N.15%@115% The initial strength
was due mainly to the comparative
hrmness of the Liverpool market Just
after the opening a feeling of hesita-
tion developed ON selling brought out
by increased receipts in the northwest.
Under these offerings, May sold off to
$115ss.
A more careful analysis of conditions
in the northwest, however revealed the
fact that large percentage of today's
arrivals at Minneapolis was wheat
brought from country elevators at last
weeks prices and that there was little
likelihood of any material increase in
the movement from farms. This eX-
planation relieved the bears of their
principal ammunition and started fair
covering by many of the early sellers.
Lack of offerings caused a quick adj
vance in the price and for the remain
der of the session the market held
strong. The high point on May was
reached at $116A and it closed at
H.161s al 1874.
SmalIness of receipts gave the corn
market a strong start and although
trading was not of large volume,
firm undertone was manifested
throughout the day. May closed at 45c.
The volume of business in oats was
very small and the strength of other
grains held prices firm. May closed
unchanged at 31Ac.
Provisions opened firm on an ad-
vance of sc in the price of hogs, but
eased off on selling by packers. At the
close May pork and ribs were each
off 21a05c and lard was down 21ac.
