WHEAT PRICES
 BREAK SHARPLY Is Caused By General Local
 Selling
SHOWS REPORTED
Corn, Oats and Provisions Close Steady-Slump in Wheat Comes in Final Half Hour of
 the Trading.

Chicago, January 11.-Wheat prices broke sharply on the local exchange to- day because of general selling, based chiefly on a heavy snowfall throughout large section of the winter wheat belt of this country At the close prices were 1sc to 7sc below the final quotations of the previous session. Corn, oats and provisions closed steady. The slump in wheat occurred in the final half hour of the day although sentiment in the pit had been bearish the greater part of the session. Initial quotations were un- changed to l4c lower compared with Sat urday's close. Worlds shipments were larger than had been generally antc- pated, the total movement being 6,992 900 bushels. An official report established the total wheat crop of Russia to be 5S,- 100000 bushels in excess of last years yield. Liverpool reported much more liberal offerings there of Argentine wheat. Late in the day weather condi- tions in this country became governing influences. The weather map indicated that snow had fallen over large sec tion of the winter wheat belt during the last AS hours, and reports from the south west claimed that a heavy snowfall was fin progress today. The market received little support the final quarter of an hour and prices declined rapidly May selling off to $1085s and July to 97is@97Ac. The close was weak at almost the bottom. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 650,o00 bushels. The amount on pas nap nOO visible supply in the United States de- creased 1,2S0,0OO bushels
 Primary receipts were 507,O00 bushels.
 Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago report ed receipts of 297 cars.
 Light receipts had a strengthening in- fiuence no the corn market early in the day, but later the small movement was offset by reports of increased offerings from Iowa and Nebraska, which caused moderate weakness. The market closed steady, final quotations on May being at 6l1Ac and July 61ss@61%c. Local receipts were 203 cars, with two of contract grade.
 Trade in oats was quiet and the mar ket closed steady with prices a shade higher to hc lower compared with Sat urday's close.
 During the last half the market weak ened with wheat and corn. Final quota tions on May were at 51ss@51&c and on July 46A44sssc. Local receipts were 13O cars.
 Extremely liberal receipts of live hogs at western packing centers has a depress- ing effect on provisions, sentiment in the pit being bearish nearly all day. At times prices were 21sc lower to 21ac higher.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 10 cars; corn, 393 cars; oats, 1SS cars; hogs, 30,000 heads.
 Cash quotations ranged as follows:

NEW HIGH RECORDS IN COTTON MARKET Net Advance of 8 to Il Points
 Recorded FOR THE LATE POSITIONS More Active Business Is Reported From Manchester-Sales of Fall
 River Prints Are Also
 Large.
FOR THE LATE POSITIONS

New York, January 11.-New high rec ords for the season were made in the cotton market today for March and later positions with the close very steady, at a net advance of to Il points. Sales were estimated at 275,0OO bales.
 The market opened steady at a decline of 1 to points under a continuation of Saturdays selling movement, which may have been encouraged by the fact that Liverpool fully responded to the local loss of late last week, but the market very quickly steadied on support from leading spot interests, while later in the day there was considerable covering.
 A reported further advance in the mar ket for bar silver was thought likely to better the buying power of the far east; private cables reported a more active bus mess in Manchester; Fall River sales of print cloths for the past week were esti mated at 1000 pieces, and while esti- mates for tomorrow's receipts were heavy, bullish weekend figures were predicted, and exports were heavy. These were probably factors on the9 advance. which carried prices to a net gain of about Il to IA points during the afternoon, but the upward movement was more importantly influenced, perhaps by reports that the leading spot interest would follow the talk ing up of January cotton by demanding delivery on March and May.
 Southern spot markets were generally steady and unchanged to bc higher ex cept for a reaction of 1-16c at Little Rock
 The market closed within or 4 points of the top.
 Receipts at the ports today, 31,671 bales, against 50129 last week and S7,179 last year.
 For the week. 230,oo0 bales, against 272,- 946 last week and PAP, 700 last year.
 Today1s receipts at New Orleans, 996S bales, against 14,140 last year, and at Houston, 7210 bales, against 1926 last year.

KING ASKS FOR
 STAY OF SENTENCE

Boston, January 11.-On the ground that Cardenio F, King, the financial agent was not convicted on December N of any specific crime, a motion was served In the superior court today by his counsel former Attorney General Herbert Parker, for an arrest of judg- ment and a stay of sentence.
 King has been in jail since last We'd nesday unable to obtain $35,OO0 bail and sentence had been deferred until Wednes- day next.
 In his motion today Mr. Parker stated that before the trial was begun he asked the government to specify the charge upon which 1t relies in the trial. The answer at that. time was that the in dictment charged King with embezzle- ment larceny and obtaining money by false pretenees. According to MT. Par ker the jury returned verdict of gull ty in 27 counts but did not state the specific crime in each count and claimed that King cannot be sentenced until the crime of which he may be guilty Is known. There will be a hearing on the motion Wednesday.

MORE DEFLATION
 IN STOCK MARKET Previous Advance Exceeded Warrant In Prospects SEVERE BREAK IN ERIE Caused By Disapproval of Commission of Proposed sso,ooo,ooo Bond ls- sue To Finance the Roads
 Necessities.
SEVERE BREAK IN ERIE

New York. January 1.-The stock mar ket underwent further press of specula- tive defation today.
 The adjustment toward a lower level was clearly due to conviction that the previous advance had exceeded the war rant of the good in the condition and the prospects. The severe break in the Erie securities had special explanation in the belief that the proposed $30, 900 bond Is sue, which was the plan of financing the roads necessities, selected by its direct ors, had failed to meet the necessary approval of the public service commission. It was said that substitute plan was al- ready formulated which would supply the needed resources and also meet with the consent of the public service commission This did not serve to avert the crash Tn the quotations of the Erie shares, and the unsettling effect of this crash on the whole of the general list. Those shares played the same part in the plan that was played last week by the Consolidated Gas, the New York Central and the Inter- ough-Metropolitan stocks in succession.
 The slump was aggravated by the reiter- ation of disquieting rumors of the condi- ton of E. H. Harriman's health, although these were authoritatively denied
 While the sympathetic effect of special points of weakness in the market Is not lost sight of, 1t is clear that there has grown up a sentiment of distrust of the speculative position, which left the mar ket vulnerable to this sympathetic inf1u- ence.
 Advices which went out from Wall street at the end of last week from brok- craze and commission houses gave ex- plicit warning in many instances of the danger of a break in prices. The result was felt in the character of the orders for execution in the market today. An im- portant and organized bear party was ar rayed against the market and the bull po- sition was held timidly and with re- serve intention to retreat before unfavor- able developments.
 The speculative sentiment is shaped to some extent by disappointment over the response to the rapid easing of the money market, which is more marked even than was anticipated. The further engagement of gold for export today, the expectation of it's being added to for some time to come. the prospect of a rise in the Bank of England discount rate and the an- nouncement from Washington over Sun day of a call on national banks deposi- tories for return of another S25,Ooo,0o0 of government funds, were of no apparent effect in disturbing the confidence in ease of money. The afternoon rally in prices followed the evidence of support for the

New York, January u.-(Special)- Coupled with marked effort on the part of the spot interests to advance prices was larger demand from outside sources which found limited offerings on the mar ket excepting at advancing prices, which. being paid, held the higher quotations well to the close. The buying appears to be extending, and the trade is asking whether the increased speculation will suffice to hold prices until the improve ment in actual conditions justifies the advance in the staple. Port receipts are large and the advance is due solely to the efforts of the holders of cotton, with the aid of willing spectators for an im-
