WHEAT DECLINES
 ON LARGE SHIPMENTS
Argentine Shipments Are Re-
 ported Doubled
CORN SHOWS A DECLINE
Oats Decline on Poor Shipping Call. Worlds Wheat Shipments Arc Reported Large and Cash
 Wheat Very Weak

Chicago, January 26.-Confronted with Argentine shipments double those of last week and treble the record a year ago, the wheat market today turned nervous and weak Latest figures owed a net loss of 1s@1zc to ssQlAc. Corn closed 14G ssc down and oats isc to 1sQKc. The finish In provisions was 21ac off to 1oc ad- vance.
 It was announced that Argentine wheat shipments for January to date were 5000, 900 bushels more than for the entire month corresponding in 1910. In this con- nection authoritative figures were cited to show that world shipments had aver aged 1S,146,OQo bushels week and only 10, 523,000 bushels average would be re- quired for the remainder of the season. Russia and the Danubian ports have been shipping at the rate of more than 100000 bushels a week. At the same time the new crops of the Argentine, as well as Australia and India, have not yet been touched. Even while putting forth such arguments, however, the bear leaders to- day lacked courage to press a decline having been beaten too bad not 24 hours previous. Domestic developments also ap- peared to favor chiefly the bears. Cash wheat was weak in all directions, with Kansas City and Omaha complaining of lack of storage room and with the sea- board selling by the boatload under the price of Chicago May delivery. The range for that option here today was from 9SMQ9s7sc to 99c, with the close asq kc net lower at 9Slac.
 Corn sold off under local pressure. both for long and short account. It was as- serted that foreign bids were badly out of line, and that talk of exports had been much exaggerated. May varied be- tween 50lsc and 54c; closed A@asc down at 50l Q50Ac Cash corn was easy. No. 2 yellow finished at 47G411ac.
 Poor shipping call depressed oats. May had as high and low points 34a4Q34Hc and 341ad34ssc.
 In provisions strength was attributed to lack of offerings rather than to urgent demand. The lighter local hog run formed supporting influence. At the end of the day pork was PEG lower to Sc up, lard unchanged to 2hc higher and ribs the same as last night to an added cost of 10c.

Burning Steamer Returns

San Francisco, January 26.-The steamer Queen, on which a fire broke out last night while she was at sea off Point Reyes, returned to port shortly before 6 o'clock this morning with the fire still burning. Her passengers. 92 in number, were taken off by launches which met her in the stream. The steamer will be sunk if the flames cannot be extinguished. The Queen, which belongs to the Pacific Coast line, left here yesterday afternoon for Puget sound. When the fire alarm was sounded the wireless operator sent out an 'Sos'' message, which brought many re- sponses from land and sea. Five steam CTS and tugs went to her assistance.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, January 26.-(Special.) J. Liverpool did not move materially from the basis of our closing prices. If any thing, in a dull market. it was a shade better. Cloth men in Manchester are re- ported as selling cloth ahead without buying yarns, which Is said to account for the rather quieter tone there. Liverpool cables state that Lancashire will have full consumption the balance of the season. Certainly England has obtained large supply of cotton both at the mills and at Liverpool. Minor fluctuations all day with the market supported at the close by bull brokers who are confident the spinners takngs tomorrow will be bullsh and offset the increase In the weekly movement, which tonight promises to be larger than our estimate of yes terday. Liverpool stocks lose heavily, which are deducted from the movement while the receipts at the interior towns are more than double last season. The
 large traders are all long, the only sell lers being outsiders selling out A large portion of yesterdays sales were brought back <bis morning.

LITTLE ACTIVITY
 IN STOCK MARKET
Early Trading Is Brisk But
 Later Becomes Dull
THE UNDERToNE IS FIRM
of England Is Surprising But Has No Effect in the New
 York Market

New York January 26.-The stock mar ket travelled today in the well-peaten paths which 1t has followed often in re- cent weeks, with some showing. of spirit in the first hour and little more than oretense of conducting business during the remainder of the day. Prices rules slight ly above yesterdays close and after alp in the flrts hour and an immediate rally were maintained at a dead level with a few isolated exceptions. The bulk of trad ing was confined to the speculative ele- mont on the floor and the undertone was firm for the most part, though at times rcfecting pressure In the active group. In the last hour prices moved up smartly and the close was firm,
 Reduction in the discount rate by the Bank of England was something of sur prise here in view of the threatening stringency in the London money market and the upward course of private dis counts during the past fortnight. Al though technically of favorable import ance, the change met with no response In the local stock market. Money was re- ported a shade easier in London. The weekly statement of the Bank of England showed a gain in total reserve of S74Oo,- GOO, an increase of from 51. 23 per cent to b1 80 per cent in proportion to the lla- bility.
 .Atchison and St. Paul were strong features in the railroad list, the former on account of its satisfactory December showing and the latter by reason of the declaration of the regular semi-annual dividend of 31k per cent, despite mis- giyings In some quarters. The Hartman stocks were again under pressure, with a renewal of reports that an unfavorable decision in the merger case is imminent, but held firm during most of the day, and were conspicuously strong at the close. Bethlehem Steel moved up 3 points, the improvement being due to recent large orders for rails which the corporation has received.
 Some advices from Paris report ap- prehension over the copper situation, which apparently is in an acute specula- tive stage.
 Foreign exchange was easier in direst response to the fall of the English bank rate, the decline reaching 10 points.
 The bond market was steady Total sales par value, 2902, 600.
 United States bonds unchanged on call.
