NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-The net re- suit of today's professional stock market trading was inconsiderable, speculative issues as usual compris- ing the bulk of the light turn over at irregular changes. Gains of one to almost three points at the opening, due mainly to short covering on the tenor .of the response of the entente allies, soon were effected.
 Much of the list attracted little at tention and even less support. Total sales amounted to 6SO,OO0 shares
 Money movements of the week in dicate a further material strengthen ing of local bank reserves.
 That the year is likely to be one of large domestic financing was further evidenced by the announcement of the purchase by an international bank ing house of S6O,OO0.OOO first mort gage five per cent bonds of the United States Rubber Company.
 Investment bonds. including inter- nationals, were steady to strong, but speculative issues were variably low er Total sales. par value S5,450.000.

Jan. 12.-Almost com plete stoppage of export buying add ed greatly today to weakness which the wheat market developed as a re- suit of profit taking by bulls who had anticipated the reply of the entente allies to President Wilson. Prices closed nervous B to % cents net lower with May at 1.S4s4 to 1.S5 and July at 1.50 to 1908. Corn finished 7s down and oats off F to q cents An advance of 10 to 47 cents was the outcome in provisions.
 Something of a belated rush to the buying side took place at the opening in the wheat trade but the consequent upturn of prices did not reach be- yond ordinary limits, and soon gave gave to material declines. Before fif- teen minutes had elapsed, it was evi- dent that the note had been fully dis counted by majority of dealers, and that further changes in quotations would depend on other factors.
 Clearances at the seaboard were only 239,O00 bushels.
 Showers in Argentina had bearish effect on corn. Oats merely followed the lead of other grains.
 Provisions went upgrade with hogs.
