 The wheat market opened strong and with the exception of a short period toware the end of the first hour, sentiment was baitish throughout the day. The market was con siderably affected by a continued small movement at Minneapolis and Duluth, the chief reason for the early strength was an advance in the price of wheat at LrTer- pool in the face of q decline here yester- day.
 Commission houses and shorts were .ager bidders at the opening and local longs t@ok advantage of the situation to secure prof its. This selling brought about a moderate reaction Curing the first hour. but the pasier feeling was quickly dispeled oy an incrcas- ed demand from commission houses. The market was further strengthened diring the last half of the session by reports from the Southwest that the fall sown crop ic in Q precarious condition because of the sudden changes in the weather. Trading was act i've all day and the market closed strong.
 May opened %Gkc to E @ %c higher at Tsc to T91sc. sold off to Tshc and closed at 79c.

 cago reported receipts of 1s1 cars. against 2s3 last week and 3ie year ago.
 An increased movement had weakening effect the corn market but prices showed only slight declines. the strength of wheat holding prices steady. Local receipts today were more than 100 cars in excess of the estimated amount and still larger receipts are expected tomorrow. Cash houses and local longs sold freely and the offerings vArs taken chiefly by commission houses. Fac market closed easy. May opened is T i4e higher at 4ec to 4ehc. sold off to 45&c and closed at 45& 6%c. Local receipts 3T2 cars none of contract grade.
 Trading in the oats pit was rather quiet, the demand being light Realizing sales had tendency to weaken the market but tile strength of wheat nearly offset ths in- fluenee.
 May opened 1tc.to q Ac higher at 3s% @ lze. sold of to 3Shc and closed at 3Shc Local receipts I'll cars.
 Provisions were strong all day on covering by local shorts The demand was due to 1oc advance in the price of live hogs Offerings light and came chiefly from longs.

 The belief that January shorts in actual cotton will cause stiff spot markets Tor the rest of the month checked selling. Receipts at interior towns continue heavy hut ship- melits arc heavier and stocks are din,nisn- ing faster than last year. The spot mar Ret is steady. There is not much new de- mand but requirements for January keep 1p prices. Bad weather Is somewhat tnterfer ing with business today.
 Futures in the afternoon ruled cuiet ana steady around opening prices. New crops are attracting more attention and advance on little buying. Inquiry from spinners Tor shipments October to December is unusually great for this time Of the year. Soinn ITS contracted good grades ahead this season "n very advantageous basis and would Ike n repeat the operation. but sellers are ret'c1nf fin making contracts ahead for actual cotton and therefore there Is more demaa1 fer new crop futures in the way of ',so@setiI Il against engagements in yarns.
 The spot market was much quietsr Easf- ern demand appears to be diminishing. Some orders came from Europe for n 4diuin grades Good grades are very dear. i10 points on March futures was freely bid for Liverpool good middling today.

NO.s commerce NJ.
 New Orleans, Jan. 25.-As if anchored to the present high level of values the market remains steady and appears to be getting stronger hold by the widening of the breach between the low and high grades of this crop. The swift current in the shape of heavy movement has had little or no ef- feet upon values even though 1t having been at high tide for many weeks. and as it IS probable that the receipts will be of more moderate proportions after the passing of January, and become relatively smaller when we have entered the month of March when compared with the big crop year of 1905, efforts to hold the market together during the coming month may not prove In vain.
 There is the probability of high water in the South. especially In the Missssippi valley in early February, which, no doubt will serve 10 make operators cautious in trading on the short side lest river develop ments be more serious than calculated upon as a flood stage Of record proportions is expected south of Cairo. There will be by many the argument advanced looking to the uncertainty attending the planting season notably lack of moisture during the past winter, the propagation of the Mexican boil weevfl in the states Of Texas. Arkansas. Louisiana and in the Indian Territory made possible by an unusual mild winter and talk of inferior seed as the result of the severe storms and incessant rains of the early part of last fall Against such contentious however, there will probably be advanced opinions unfavorable to the future course
 
 set in in the security markets, the ;arge visible supply, which will he of almost re- cord proportions tonight, will be referred 10 as proof sufficient that the spin Hes of the world will not want for cotton until the next crop finds it's way to the market
 The falling off in the Orinetal export ee- mRnd from Great Britain is already beina referred to as a contra diction to reports of the worlds consumption running on new record basis, and mill takings have been in excess of last year and the year before to date 1t is argued that stocks jf cotton. or it's products at the British mills must be relatively increasing. According to the English board of trade returns If exports for the four months ending January 1st, the shipments of yarns was 67,132, J00 iHs.. against 72,Ss6.0 900 lbs. last year, and of goods 1 1,996. s66. 900 yards compared with 9. l2l.a70 900 yards one year ago It IS also pointed out that the exportation ot cotton goods to all the world from the port of New York has fared even worse of late than in Great Britain. The New York Chronicle reporting but 5,64S packages shipped sinoe January ist, against 24.Oss packages last year, Indicating the Aslatic trade demand to he unsatisfactory

ROAD TARRINc.
Process Which Is Proving Highly Sue
cessful in France.

On the continent the oiling or tar
ring of roads is making considerable
progress. writes the Paris correspond
ent of the Scientific American. The
methods which seem to be most sue
cessful can be divided into two general
classes. In the first case we find prod
ucts such as Westrumite, Pulvanto,
and the like in which the liquid tar
obtained from mineral or vegetable
oils is formed into an emulsion or a
solution in water and thus sprinkled
upon the road The solution in water
can be obtained by adding alkali sucs
as ammonia, or by the use of casein
or other products. The liquid which is
thus obtained can be applied to the
road from an ordinary sprinkling cart.
Another way of applying 1t is to pipe
the water from the mains through a
hose and use a special form OF nozzle
Into which the oil or tar is fed from a
reservoir. For use in cities this Is
quite practical. NJ Forester has de-
signed a good form of mixing nozzle
which consists of two conical pie0es
fitting into each other in such a way
that the water stream acts by aspira-
ton to draw in the oil and mix it with
the water in the nozzle. The distance
