COMMENT ON MARKET.

George l. Edmunds, Of Miller & Co
Early trading was irregular. though
pronounced strength under the leader
ship Of the so-called Morgan stocks was
visible around room. The knowledge that
the Northern Pacific meeting would not
be held to-day was held partially re-
sponsible for tie drop IN the later, but
considering the advance stock has had
decline was comparatively slight Read
ing was particularly streng on account Of
active buying. which, rightly or wrongly.
is ascribed to the leading member OF a
well-known international banking house
Of first Importance. Around o'clock the
lowest prices Of the day were seen on
rumors affecting ,he stability Of a we'll
known Wes -ern road. which would seem
TO have been discounted as least as far
as the securities of that particular prop
erty are concerned. My view Of the mar
ket is the same. The floating supply Of
stocks is apparently small The bond
market is better than IT has been for two
years. I believe that such a level OF
prices as we are having more than dis
counts conditions which may come 10
some Of the weaker shares. and that
higher class stocks are d purchase on
every reaction
@. Bowie Chipman, OF Z. r. Chapman
& Co.-"Tne market opened with prices
generally higher than last nights close
and exhibited considerable strength dur
ing the first hour. Regular dividends were
declared by Great Northern and Jersey
Central and American Cotton Oh direc-
tors declared a dividend Of per cent on
the common stock, being an Increase Of
per cent over the dividend paid in De
cember. 1906. II is likely that should
Northern Pacific increase its dividend or
make some extra distribution the market
will reflect it in somewhat higher prices.
but with the short interest In the market
practically eliminated I do not see how
prices can be permanently advanced un-
I'll after a reaction OF several points has
taken place"
Benjamin Woodruff. of Post & Flagg-
The market was Of uncertain charac-
ter. During the hrst hours OF the ses-
SION prices were strong and then uad
quite a little reaction. Money was
riiie higher than yesterday, probably due
to the recent bun speculation, but at no
time were rates excessive. There was
some talk OF additional receiverships to
be announced, and this naturally had an
adverse effect or prices, but the general
temper is more optimistic, and, conse-
quentiy on the setbacks there is more
disposition 20 buy stocks. and this has
decidedly steadying influence. As I have
stated. / should not be surprised 60 see
the market work somewhat higher dur
Ing the first two or three weeks Of Jan
uary but this is about all look for AZ
the moment"

IBID. ASKED. Nominal.

New York. Jan. There was a weak trend in
wheat to-day. while corn rather stronger. The
heaYness IN wheat attributed partly 70 disap-
pointing cables and 70 the unexpected increase in
ayailable supplies.
The buoyancy in corn was caused partly by light
receipts, poor grading better cables and reports OF
less favorable Prospects in Argentina. Export trade
Is slow.
The late strength in corn was partly ascribed to
