STOCK LEVEL LOWERS AGAIN DOES THE MARKET LAPSE INTO DULLNESS Hitch in the Venezuelan Negotiations Induces Selling for the London Ac count—Professional Leaders of the Market Not Such Demonstrative Bidders for Stocks. NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—Today's stock market fell back into dullness and the price level yielded. There were some proferlons of depressed feeling over the prospect of a weak bank re turn and over the upward course of sterling exchange. The hitch In the proceedings for a settlement of the vex ed Venezuelan question induced some selling here for London account and added another nominal reason for the reaction. But the obvious fact was that the activity and apparent strength of yes terday covered large realizing opera tions by the professional leaders of the market who have conducted this week's campaign for a rise. Their buy ing and their demonstrative bidding for stocks, which have been a feature of this week, were lacking today. When it was perceived that this support was relaxed, room traders offered prices down and found vulnerable spots. The selling: was not urgent nor long con tinued and the buying to cover by shorts caused some recovery from the lowest. The closing, however, was heavy and very dull. Banks' Loss of Cash. The week's heavy subtreasury re quirements, which amounted to $6,360, --000, have been offset by the receipts from the interior, which seem to be lc-ss than $3,000,000, so that the banks have lost cash during the week to the extent of upwards of $3,000,000. The loss to the subtreasury was more than half accounted for by last Saturday's payment to the government of a Cen tral Pacific- note, but the government operations have taken a sum daily frcm the money market. The condi tion of the money market has been nevertheless one of growing ease and the demand even for time money has shown a falling off at the rates asked by the banks. The growing ease of money is probably the real ground for the upward course of sterling ex change. With the increasing accommodations in New York there is every induce ment for those who have borrowed abroad to pay off their maturing obli gations. Expert authorities in the foreign exchange market affirm that the extent to which this process has been carried since the first of the year is far beyond and public comprehen sion. French Prone to Invest. There is excellent authority for as serting also that a .growing disposi tion is manifest, especially in Europe, to invest in American securities. This process is not perceived in the stock market, and probably. does not involve the old and seasoned securities which figure in the international markets and which are at a price level to induce selling rather than buying by foreign ers. It is said in explanation of the French buying of securities, that it represents reinvestment in anticipation of which is to be made to Panama canal shareholders by . the, ,Juiced States government. There \v ere: few features in today's. market. The "Wis consin Central stocks were bought on rumors of changing control. Amalga mated showed strength in face of the reactionary market and there were, advances in a number of low-priced' industrial stocks.' The rise in Hocking Valley was supposed to be connected with the undisclosed plan for the dis position of that property. : Otherwise, the leading active stocks moved pretty uniformly with the" reactionary, ten •"isncy.

B«l**f ORAINMARKETSUPAGAIN BULLISH NEWS THE BASIS FOR ACTIVITY IN WHEAT Unexpected Strength of Cables Leads to a Strong Opening — Reaction Fol lows, but Market Soon Recovers — Fair Trade in Oats, Chiefly for Local Account. CHICAGO, Feb. 6.—The trade in wheat waß moderately active today, and on bullish news the market ruled firm, May closing 3-8 c higher. May corn was a shade higher, while oats were up 3-B@l-2c. Provisions closed steady, with the May products from 2]-2c lower to a shade higher. The unexpected strength to cables caused a strong opening in wheat, and under free covering May sold to 78 l-2c after opening l-4@3-8c higher at 79079 l-Bc. The smaller Argentine shipments for the week —1,274,000 bu, where a total of 1,600,000 bu had been expected—created some anxiety among shorts and was partly responsible for the early buying from that source. Lo cal longs took advantage of the bulge to dispose of considerable stuff, and in consequence a reaction followed. Re ports of buying at the seaboard for shipment to France was a help late in the session and the market responded readily. May again selling up to 79 l-2c. The close was steady to firm, with May 3-8 c higher at 79 l-Bc. Primary receipts were a bull factor, being smaller than of late at 495,000 bu, against 386,000 bu a year ago. The weather was favorable and crop ad vices were bearish. Bradstreet's re port on the export of wheat and flour for the week showed' a total equal to 3,916,000 bu, compared with 4,420,000 bu last week and 4,800,000 bu a sear ago. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 475,000 bu. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 304 cars, which, with local receipts of 30 cars, none of contract grade, made total receipts for the three points of 334 cars, against 302 cars a week ago and 275 cars last year. Corn Sympathizes With Wheat. Corn acted in sympathy with the ad vance in wheat, but when the price of May had reached 45c there was con siderable selling by commission houses, which prevented a further advance. The grade in general was only fair and was principally for local account. Dull ness prevaied the latter part of the session and the close was steady, with May a shade higher at 44 7-8 c after selling between 44 3-4 c and 45c. Local receipts were 210 cars, with none of contract grade. Oats ruled strong, but the volume of trade was rather small, the offer ings being light. The strength of other grains was an early factor. Local longs were disposed to take profits and part of the advance was lost, but late in the day there* was renewed demand, and the close was near the top. May closed 3-B@l-2c higher at 375137 l-Bc. after ranging between 36 5-8 and 37 l-Bc, the top prices for the crop. Local receipts were 108 cars. Previsions were dull and the senti ment was rather bearish, although opening prices were a triile higher on a fair demand for pork and ribs. Lo cals were bearish in their mood and disposed to sell, with selling by stock yards people a feature. The close' was steady, with May pork unchanged at '$16.75, May lard closed 2 l-2c lower at $9.37 1-2, while ribs were a shade high er at $9.12 1-2@9.15. • ': ;- - . ■■■ / - v .; The estimated receipts for tomorrow are: Wheat, 35 cars; corn, 225 cars; oats, 170 cars and 17,000 head of hogs.

Minneapolis With firmer cables and re- | ports of some damage to wheat in France, the speculative wheat market opened firm and a fraction up. In the Chicago pit there was much hesitation seen, which* found reflection here. Armour was In the market. There was every evidence oi* Armour activity, but whether he was on the buying or selling side was difficult to deteimine. One report would make Ar mour a buyer, but in a moment he would be reported selling again. Minneapolis had L's3 cars, against 20£ last year, and Du luth 51. against 79. The Modern Miller says nothing . has been heard to indicate that the winter wheat op has beer, injured by the re cent freezing weather, which extended" over the greater part of the winter wheat country. In the northern section of this belt the plant was well protected by snow, but elsewhere there was little or no cov ering. Prospects in general from the At lantic to the Pacific coast, appear to be reasonably good. The scarcity of cars is checking: the movement of wheat to market and in curtailing shipments from the centers so that mil's which depend upon the markets ■ for their supplies of wheat are seriously inconvenienced.
