NEW YORK, January 31.-Such weak
ness as is now becoming a familiar and
rather monotonous story developed in the
stock market very early in today's deal
1nSs. Probably this weakness might have
been expected as the natural consequence
of such a violent advance or recovery as
took place yesterday, especially after
such vigorous speculative stirring up as
was witnessed in the copper stocks to-
ward last nights close on the news of the
progress of the merger of the -Amalga-
mated properties.
There was last night also a decidedly
excessive renewal of bullish confidence,
based on the course of prices during the
day. AS that course of prices must
largely have been accounted for by the
retirement of short commitments, the
elimination of the short interest, or such
part of it as is not important enough to
stand its ground for any length of time,
must necessarily have been a factor max
ing for weakness in such d market as the
present.

CHICAGO January 27.-Wheat prices
fell off in the early trading here today,
the opening figures being from sc to &c
lower. The principal bearish factors were
foreign cables telling OF a weaker market
at Liverpool, larger arrivals in the north
west and weather more favorable to
transportation. The range in the first
hour was between 4 and Ec, with a
tendency toward an advance as the Of
ferings were absorbed. May sold up to
LOS from 1.1oas. after opening asa1tc to
Aa7sc lower, at 1.10a to 1-1Oss.
Large arrivals and weather prospects
had a bearish effect at the start in the
corn pit An Improvement in the cash

initial decline from about Is to &c to

Bearish RumorS.

Perhaps this Is why rumors of presum-
ably bearish origin began to circulate to-
day to the effect that something of dire
significance must be hanging over the
market.
Reflective observers continue to be Of
the opinion. however, that what the mar
ket has been discounting has been the
change wrought by the developing situa-
ton at Washington and the widespread
and increasing protest against the high
level of commodity prices in the prospects
for business and industry in 1909
Call money opened today at the lowest
level of the year so far. 3 per cent, and
loaned as low as % per cent before
noon. The foreign exchange market was
fairly steady in the early dealings, but
a factor which will doubtless make for
strength in our foreign exchange is fur
nished by the disastrous floods In france.
The damage done In Paris and else
where is far more likely to be rejected
in the shifting of various dams for gold
from Paris to this city than in the SELL
ing of stocks in our market

Lack of Buying Power.

Bearish opening no doubt precipitated
the decline with which today's stock ses-
sion began. and was largely responsible
for the further depression of prices
At the same time 1t was evident that the
list was rather vulnerable to a drive and
a lack of buying power was disclosed un-
Ill quotations had fallen to about the
low levels reached. Tuesday. At those
figures support was clearly rendered and
1t was said that there were scale down
buying orders under them large in guam
uty and important in character.

Some Resistance to Pressure.

Comparative firmness was displayed by
Baltimore and Ohio, Great Northern pre-
ferred and n. and o. Pennsylvania Of
fered conspicuous resistance to pressure.
The stocks in the copper metal group
seemed to be somewhat sustained by the
passing Of the various mergers which
have been under way, with the prospect
which they held out OF such regulation of
copper production as would bring about a
more satisfactory adjustment Of output to
consumption.
The improved technical situation of
the market was unquestionably demon
strated by the fact that no large vol
ume of commission house liquidation ap-
peared to be induced by the forenoon
drive against prices. AS matter of fact,
it seems to be the case that commission
house accounts have been reduced from
a fourth to third as the result of the
declines which have taken place. At the
same time the fact that the market
should display such vulnerabilitE to SELL
ing as it did today tended strongly to dis
credit The theory that technical reasons
were chiefly responsible for the January
reaction.
The way in which stocks are distributed
Is usually sufficient to account for to
point reactions in bull markets but
when reactions go from 12 to 10 points
and more IT is customary to seek for
their explanations i'll more general and
more fundamental causes.

Frantic Effort of Anti-saIoon Leaders

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 1.-THE bodies
of two men who died of alcoholism
were placed on exhibition in the win
dows of the undertaking establishment
of the deputy coroner at Auburn, TWEEN
tw miles South of Seattle, in an effort
to win votes for the "drys' in the To-

but without apparent effect, for the
town voted wet" Both factions were
making hard fight and the prohibit
tionists appeared to be in the lead
until late in the afternoon. Then the
tide began to turn. In frantic effort
the anti-saloon leaders appealed to
Deputy Coroner Connell, an ardent
prohibitionist, for aid.
He hurried to the establishment
where the bodies of the two men lay.
Bolstering them in an upright position
in their collins he placed them in the
front windows. Above the head of
each sign bearing the words: "He
died of drink" was tackled. AS voters
