WHEAT IS NERVOUS
AND TRADE NARROW
Coarse Grains Continue Strong
and Indications Are for
Higher Prices.
The wheat market yesterday was nerv
-ous. Trade was narrow and prices were
easily influenced by news of any char
acter. Rumors from the East were more
■warlike, and in consequence prices ad
vanced slightly. The demands of the Min
neapolis millers are heavy, and the cash
situation is strong. Corn and oats were
the leaders again yesterday. Prices ad
vanced and the trade was brisk. The
movement is small and the new corn crop
is grading low. Higher plrces for both
oats and corn are predicted.
There was a slight improvement In the
Stock market yesterday. Although the
news from the far East was warlike, it
had no effect on prices. On iltf advance.
Rock Island and United States Steel pre
ferred were the leaders. The buying was
occasioned by short covering. A favorable
bank statement is expected today.
What the Brokers Say.
M. Doran & Co.'s Chicago grain letter
Bays-:
Wheat —Wheat was nervous, with a
narrow trade and easily influenced by
small orders. The Eastern situation caus
ed anxiety here and abroad and consols
and Japanese securities were lower. War
like rumors were circulated all day, mak
ing the' crowd very uneasy. The Argen
tine news was of both sorts. Our cable
reports favorable weather conditions. The
■weather map shows no precipitation ex
cept n trace of snow in Ohio valley. There
Is a better demand for cash at Minne
apolis for the better qualities of off
grades.
Corn—The market was strong all day,
•with less liquidation than Thursday. The
Argentine news was bearish, reporting the
crop benefited by recent rains. Cables
■were lower, but neither item was of any
consequence compared with the develop
ments in the cash situation. Grading con
tinues poor and the better qualities are
in demand. Distillers are using the "no
grade" In preference to Nos. 3 and 4.
claiming about equal results, which shows
the large percentage of moisture carried
by Nos. 3 and 4 and the very poor chance
it will have of mantaining Its condition
In warm weather. A commercial crop of
430.000,000 less than last year with a
further decrease on account of the un
usually large percentage of low grade
corn will cause a big advance. The move
ment is light and confined to a small sec
tion of Illinois and Indiana. The domestic
demand is increasing for shipment. The
export demand is also improving.
Oats—Oats were strong from the start,
advancing steadily with but small reces
sions and proving a disappointment to the
bears and to bulls who unloaded Thursday
and had to pay more to replace their lines.
This has been the common experience of
•weak-hearted longs for the past three
Weeks. Tlie developments in the situation
are all of a bullish tenor and features are
legitimate, and not speculative. Cash oats
up a full cent.
J. C. Geraghty & Co.'s correspondents
Bay of stocks:
J. S. Bache & Co. —The news was not
reassuring regarding the situation in the
far East. However, the New York mar
ket opened firm and steady, ignoring the
uncertain feeling on the other side. Tips
•were freely circulated that the bear cam
paign is about over and a substantial rally
from the low prices is in order. On the
whole the situation appears to us as
clearing up.
A. O. Brown & Co.—The market was
highly irregular and uncertain with ac
tivity showing some curtailment. The
news in the far East continues to be the
dominant influence and was in a measure
unfavorable. Professional operations pre
dominated in the day's dealings and rep
resented for the most part merely the in
and out transactions of floor traders.
Pending some authentic announcement re
garding the Eastern controversy that will
enable a clearer view of the market situ
ation, the large operators are apparently
doing very little, although the trading sen
timent seems to be gradually becoming
more bearish.
O'Connor & Van Bergen's stock letter
Bays:
Speculative interest centered in a few
stocks and in these the trading was al
most entirely professional. In Rock Island
and United States Steel preferred ad
vances seemed due in «o(,d part to cov
ering by shorts. Erie was fairly active
and heavy on predictions of reduction in
the rate of dividend on the first preferred.
The general market continued in its wait-
Ing attitude, and it may be said the East
ern situation as reflected in the news of
the day was practically and for the first
timn ignored. The strength of Northern
Securities in the street called attention
to the probability of an early decision
by the supreme court and the removal of
this restraint on speculation. The market
closed dull and irregular. Money continues
very steady at low rates on call. A large
pain In cash will be shown by the bank
Statement tomorrow.

STOCKS ARE LISTLESS
PRICES DECLINE, BUT SUPPORT IS
FORTHCOMING
Movements Most of the Session Are Des
ultory—Steel and Amalgamated Are
Moderately Absorbed—Market Closes
Dull and Barely Steady.
NEW YORK. Jan. 15.—This was an
other day of inconsequential results in the
stock market and of listless and neglected
trading. The war scare seemed to have
resumed its force in foreign markets and
started prices downwards, but support
was met, or rather the selling was discon
tinued. Movements for the rest of the day
were desultory and scattered. There was
some absorption of United States Steel
preferred and of Amalgamated Copper,
which seemed based on trade conditions,
but these movements were without ani
mation of importance. United States
Realty preferred was supported and ad
vanced two points in spite of the with
drawal of important interests from the
company and the disclosure of a degree
of friction in the corporation which had
not been adequately unaerstood.
The advance in Pacific Mail was based
on a supposition that the withdrawal of
competing steamships for use as tran
sports in case of war between Russia and
Japan would increase the business of the
company. The Erie issues were under
pressure and fell nearly a point each, with
slight rallies, on the doubt raised in public
discussion as to the declaration of a -
per cent semi-annual dividend on the pre
ferred, as for the last period. The pro
visions of the voting trust are for its ex
piration upon the declaration of a full 4
per cent dividend in a year on the first
preferred stock. It is rumored that the
voting trust may desire to perpetuate its
control by withholding the full dividend,
as was done lately in the case of the
Reading first preferred dividend and the
Southern Railway preferred dividend.
Cash Influx Is Heavy.
The heavy Influx of cash indicated by
the preliminary estimates of the week's
currency movement was accepted with
languid interest and the market closed
barely steady and intensely dull. Esti
mates of receipts by the banks on the
direct express movement vary to the ex
tent of several millions of dollars. The
sub-treasury operations have yielded to
the banks $7,412,000 and the various esti
mates of the interior movement indicate
a total net gain in cash of $12,000,000 to
$15,000,000
The advance In foreign exchange to
wards the gold export point under these
circumstances is not surprising. The De
cember foreign trade statement leaves no
doubt, however, that New York can
readily command more resources with evi
dence of any need. Both the export and
the excess of the export over the imports
for the month rise to record figures, the
trade balance in our favor amounting to
the formidable total of $96,984,084. An
increase in the value of imports of up
wards of $16,000,000 compared with De
cember of last year contributes material
ly to this result and marks the resump
tion of supply of the domestic demand by
domestic products in place of formerly im
ported material.
Bonds were firm and a broadening ten
dency was manifested Jn the market. To
tal sales, par value, $3,150,000; United
States 2s declined V* per cent on call.

TRADE PRICES ARE UP
RENEWED FEAR OF WAR HAS ITS
USUAL RESULT
After Holding Steady Early In the Session
Wheat Becomes Very Active —Shorts
Cover and There Is a Good Demand
From the Bear Element.
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.—Renewed fear of
war pulled up both grain and provisions
today. May wheat closed at an advance
of %c, corn %c and oats %@lc. Pro
visions gained 5c to 17% c.
Wheat held steady during the first part
of the session, mainly on account of the
aversion of the pit crowd to launch out
on what was considered a troubled sea.
Local traders apeared to see no hope for
profit on either side of the market, and
in consequence orders for small traders
were the rule. Opening prices were a
trifle firmer, influenced by a decline in
consols and indications that a more acute
phase in the war situation had been
reached. May was up V»@%c to 87®87Vic,
and during the early hours of trading the
price ranged h/itween 86% c and 87»4c.
On a report stating that grave news was
momentarily expected from the far East
the marekt became suddenly active. Those
who had sold short earlier in the session
became extremely anxious to cover, and
there was also a good demand from the
bull element. From 87UC May rapidly
rose to 87% c. with small offerings until
the price had passed the 87V4c mark. The
demand continued good the remainder of
the day and the close was strong, with
May at 87% c.
Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to 196,400 bu. Primary receipts were
750,500 bu, compared with 570,300 bu a
year ago. Exports of wheat and flour
for the week, according to Bradstreet's.
were 2,771.000 bu. Minneapolis and Chi
cago reported receipts of 449 cars, against
474 cars last week and 422 a year ago.
Good Demand for Corn.
Corn was in good demand and firm, aft
er a slight indication of weakness early
in the day. Liverpool cables were lower
and advices from Argentina favorable,
which accounted for the easier tone at
the start. Later in the session the war
news became a factor and induced short
covering. Offerings were light, due to
the small receipts, with no improvement
in grading. Under these conditions prices
made good gains, but at the advance there
was considerable profit-taking and some
reaction followed. The close, however,
was firm. After opening unchanged to
%c lower at 48% cto 48% c. May advanced
to 49% c, and closed at 48% c. Local re
ceipts were 319 cars, with 4 of contract
grade.
Oats were up sharply, with trading at
times quite excited. The holder of a big
long line was an active buyer, and this
induced considerable buying by smaller
traders, while shorts covered freely. A
big cash demand, which was hard to fill
on account of scarcity of offerings, was
the main bull influence, although the war
news also helped to advance prices. Clos
ing prices were strong and at the top.
May opened unchanged to %c higher at
40% cto 40% c. sold between 40% c and
40% c and 41%@41%c. closing at 41%<£
41% c. Local receipts were 104 cars.
Provisions were weak early on lower
prices for hogs, but later the market ad
vanced on war news and on the strenght
shown in grain. Shorts were the best
buyers. On the advance there was some
profit-taking, but prices were well main
tained, the close being at about the high
point. May pork closed 17% c higher at
$13.12%@13.15, May lard was up 10c at
$7. with ribs 5@7%c higher at $6.65©
6.67%.
Estimated receipts for tomorrw are:
Wheat, 30 cars; corn, 295 cars; oats, 130
cars; hogs, 27,000 head.

Mlneapolis—Wheat was a hard propo

whip-saw affair and extremely dangerous

There w-as nothing of vital importance
in the news. The trading dragged. Then
buying began, all markets turned Strong
er. May advanced to 87% c, a war rumor
came iri and added to the strong feeling,
and in the midst of the strength a big
local house that usually trades for Ar
mour sold 750,000 bu May in quick hand
outs of 50s and 100s. Then the same
house sold some more, and a little July,
and before the strength had spent itself,
and almost before the pit knew what it
was about, it had absorbed close to 1.000.

a twinkle, but there was no heavy sell
ing to force it lower, and when a buying
order came In the wheat had to be drawn

again. Receipts, 386 cars.
