WHEAT Is LOWER
 ON FREE SELLING
Trade Is Quiet With Prices
 FIuetuating Narrowly
SMALL NET LOSS IS SHOWN
Weakness In the Corn Market Due to General Realizing Leads to Lower Prices-Oats Close Weak.
 Provisions Steady.

Chicago, January 21.-Rains in the win ter wheat belt induced moderate selling of wheat here today, resulting in slight declines in all deliveries. the net losses at the close being a shade to 1s@hc. Corn and oats closed weak and provisions steady.
 Trade in the wheat pit was exceed ingly quiet and prices fuctuated within a ssc range. Business was almost entirely of a local character. A slump in cotton prices had some effect late in the day. The close was easy, with May at s1 .071e@ 1.07ss. and July at 97ssQ97a4c.
 Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 176,0O0 bushels.
 Primary receipts were S94,000 bushels, Minneapolis Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 218 cars.
 Realizing sales by some of the influen- tial holders caused weakness in the corn market, prices at the close being off 19Q ssc to Ac Receiving houses reported that despite the unfavorable weather for the movement, offerings of corn at country stations in Illinois were increasing. de- cline of A@1sc in the price of the cash grain tended to weaken options. Prices at the close were almost at the bottom, May being at 617sc and July at 62c. Local receipts were 337 cars, with four of con- tract grade.
 The slump in corn prices brought out moderate selling of oats, resulting in slight declines. The volume of trade, however was small. Local receipts were larger than had been estimated. and this caused a 14@4kc decline in the price of the cash grain. The close was easy, with prices 1s@asc below yesterdays final quo- tations. Local receipts were 136 cars There was an active trade in provisions but prices moved within narrow range The close was steady. with prices un- changed to 71zc higher.
 Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat Il cars. corn 299 cars oats 146 cars, hogs 1,000 head.

STOCKS ADVANCE
 ON ACTIVE BUYING All the Offerings Are Absorbed
 With Great Ease \ HEAVY BUYING NEAR CLOSE Steel Corporation Has Done. Another Large Years Business In Spite of
 the Financial Depression
 Everywhere.
HEAVY BUYING NEAR CLOSE
ey THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.

New York, January 23.-tSpeeial)- Erie continued it's reactionary move ment throughout most of the session to- day. and after strong opening the whole list advanced once more. Just before the close the best kind of buy ing made it's appearance. Stocks were not bid for, but somebody seemed to be standing there taking all offerings.
 The character of this buying was ae- cepted by professionals as a signal for. a strong market for the next few days. Among specialties American Cotton oil was a strong feature, this stock mak- ing a new high record.
 It can be said on official authority that the Steel trust has not been buying any shares, although insiders person. ally have been buying. Persons most familiar with what the Steel trust is doing say the stock is worth par right now and this regardless of any diVl- dend or tariff action. There is a be- lief that Congress will do nothing to hurt the trust in the way of tarin reform Southern representatives haV- ing in mind the growth of manufacturing business in the south, are against ma terial tariff reduction and only the most perfunctory action. is expected
 There has been a gradual increase Tn business done by the Steel trust and the December quarter should show net earnings of about $29, 900, ,00o perhaps a little more. This will bring the years total up to about $95 100000, which is a record for the worst year in the trusts history. Economies introduced by the trust are beginning to have eff feet. It is probable that statement will be issued by the company at the quarterly meeting of directors Tues day giving the public full information as to what is being done. something more detailed than the usual state ment
 Canadian Pacific seems to have de- termined to gather in all minority stock of the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic making that company part of the main line of the system.

COTTON HIGHER ON
 GINNERS' REPORT
BuIIish interpretation Is Put
 Upon the Figures
ALL OFFERINGS ABSORBED
Realizing Is Heavy at the Top Figures, But In Spite of the Heavy Selling Prices Are Firm and Close
 a Little Higher.

New York, January 23-The cotton mar ket opened firm at an advance of to 9 points and sold 10 to 1s points net higher during the first few minutes with May and later months making new high rec ords for the season on general buying as a result of the bullish census report, higher cables than expected reports of fire at Galveston and talk of redue- tion of 100000 bales in estimates of the Indian crop. Realizing was extremely heavy at the advance, easing prices off or points from the top, but offerings were extremely well absorbed, trade in- terests were buyers and the market was steady during the middle of the morning, with prices to g points net higher
 In the face of some rather positive conviction that part of the recent advance . traces it's inspiration to sentiment and not to current bullish developments, bull leaders are apparently taking on March contracts with genuine confidence in the outcome.
 There are many friends of the staple who are convinced that the remnant will be needed and that. cent or more per P0aiiN NNfahSO III liiS pilCe VIII DOl tilOke off consumption below the supply possi- bilities of the crop now being marketed. The chief concern of these men is not the determination of the intrinsic worth of cotton through the relationship of SUD- ply to requirement, but the establishment of the true price equation in a market that has been robbed of the broad CO., operation and assistance of the southern people, Orders to buy futures came from interior points yesterday that have done no contract trading since the anti-future laws went into effect, but the cumber- some manner in which such business | must now be financed restricted its vol ume, and the market was thereby robbed of needed cooperation and support The market closed barely steady with prices net unchanged to 10 points higher Receipts today at ports 3361S bales against 29,o94 last week and 22,255 last year.

London Stock Market.

London, January 2S.-Good investment business on the stock exchange kept the market steady during the past week, the new issues monopoIizing attention. The Russian loan was largely oversubscribed, but it has since lost its premium, now that the GOO Canadian government loan at 3A per cent is available and with the prospective $50, 900 issue of Argen- tina per cent bonds there is not much chance of broadening business in the low priced shares. Japanese bonds however, improved on the good budget figures and various home rails found support on the declaration of dividends, but consols fin- ished isc lower on the week. American securities were dull and undecided during the week, but values were not allowed to decline far. and with the announcement that the Erie bond issue would be al- lowed, together with good buying of United States Steel the market finished steady at from to points higher than last Saturday.
