in First Hour—Railroad
List Bolstered
New York, January 28.—Wall street took
a more c heerful view of stock market con
ditions today. Prices of most of the lead
ing stocks were marked up 1 to 2 points
with a number of much larger gains in
special instances. Considerable business
was done in the first hour of trade at d
more than the eVirc session of yesterday.
Although the pace slackened later the
level of prices was well maintained.
American Can issues were unusually
active and scored the most conspicuous
advance of the session. Bullish impulses
from several matters contributed to the
quota of stock market information which
ahaped sentiment among more hopeful
lines.
The railroad list was bolstered by ex
cellent reports of December of several
large western systems, including Union
Pacific. Northern Pacific and Northwest
ern. Formation of the International Har
vester corporation was construed in 'the
Wall street point of view as placing the
Harvester interests in a more favorable
light, notwithstanding the statement from,
Washington that this action would not al
ter the aspect of the government’s case.
Renewed activity of largo speculative
cliques in the shape of bullish manipula
tion of special stocks helped to stimu
late the market. Most potent of all the
direct influences was the tenor of Gov
ernor Sulzer’s message to the legislature
dealing with stoek exchange legislation.
The message was generally regarded as
moderate in tone, despite the protest
voiced by (he stock exchange authorities
and went fur toward relieving the uneasi
ness which has been felt concerning the
possible character of* New York legisla
tion. How largely today's movements
were the result of these influences, rather
than of technical market conditions, were
matters of spec illation.
A few traders took the view that the
short interest was of unwieldy proportions
and that the advance was due primarily
to this condition.
it was a significant feature of the trad
in gthat when the list showed a tendency
to recede business came almost to a cessa
tion, indicating slocks were being hold
firmly.
Extent of the short interest apparently
has made the trade sensitive to bullish
Influences. Bonds were strong with some
material gains among convertible issues.
Thetotal sales, par value, $2,603,000. Bonds
of the United States, the 3s and the Pan
ama 3s. advance 1 % on call.

PRICES ARE STEADY
Trade Continues Brisk.
Good Demand for
Poultry
With the present cool snap trade
with the Morris avenue wholesalers
continues brisk. Yesterday there were
no price changes of any consequence
and the receipts were adequate for tlie
demand.
The poultry dealers are enjoying a
good demand on all grades of poultry
at this time. The prices shdw no
changes although fr.\ ers are expected
to advance if the demand keeps up
as the supply is not very good. With
the other wholesalers in the various
commodities of the wholesale district
the prospects are c: cellent for a brisk
trade at good prices the remainder of
the week. Yesterday's corrected whole

Corn and Provisions
Decline
Chicago, January 28.—Wheat and oats
were steady while corn and provisions de
clined. Trade was dull. Reselling of
Wheat in France reflected in the quota
tions from Liverpool and Paris brought
about selling in this market early. There
was not a great deal of it, but what was
apparent was aprectable. Ijtter the early
loss was more tliRit offset. There were
•rumors of export sales at Missouri river
points. These were denied as persistent
ly as they arose The European visible
Increased as much as tiie American vis
ible decreased. Wimiipeg reported that
only t per cent of the crop remains In
farmers' hands, the crop having been
marketed with remarkable celerity, owing
to fine weather. Seaboard clearances
were 460,000 bushels.
Primary receipts were *9^000, against
425,000 bushels last year.
Corn fluctuated nervously between nar
row limits but the main influence in a
net decline of Vu74c for May was the
unloading of a long line here. Of tilts
shorts took advantage.
Oats were sold on a small scale down
by pit traders while demand came from
mission houses. When shorts discovered
tiie nature of the support they covered
and the early decline was recovered. Pro
visions started higher on the commission
house demand but there w‘as plenty for
sale on tiie bulge and the close was a
net decline of 5 cents. Packers were pat 1
to be selling short.

COTTON IS STEADY
Last Prices Show Net Gain
of From 9 to 17
Points
New York. January 28.—While some
what irregular, the cotton market made
a generally steady showing today and
closed steady with last prices showing
net gains of from 9 to 17 points.
The market opened steady at an ad
vance of 6 to 6 points in response to bet
ter cables than due. but yesterday s Into
break evidently had made a considerable
impression mi local sentiment, and the
appearance of near months selling orders
in the hands of leading spot brokers
seemed partly responsible for a renewal
of local bear pressure and scattering
liquidation.
Prices eased off in consequence, with
the near months relatively weak, and
shortly after the opening January showed
j a net loss of about 10 points while March
was 4 points lower and later months
were around the closing figures of yes
terday. The near month selling, however,
was accompanied by purchases of July,
supposedly in the way of undoing old
straddles, and the market soon steadied
with prices becoming firmer in the aft
ernoon owing to bullish southern spot
advices, covering by early sellers and
eontinued'bull support. The closing quota
tions wery within some 3 or 4 points of
the best.
The census report showing ;tr,6.v74 bales
of llnters. according to oil mill returns up
to the first of January, attracted some
little attention and may have inspired
party of the afternoon buying, but the
figures were generally considered in line
with average expectations, although there
were no comparisons for the report, which
was the first of the sort on record.
The total llnters reported last year were
f>56,2?6 bales from the 16,<X)0,000 bale crop
and later returns this season may add
considerably to the figures up to the first
of the year.
Private cables from Liverpool attributed
the relative firmness there to American
buying and small offerings.
Home complaints are coming In from
the southwest of delayed farm work as
a result of wet weather, but many con
sider that these are offset by the fact
that, abundant winter rainfall Is supposed
to be putting a good season Iti the
ground.

New Orleans Cotton Market
New Orleans. January 28.—Cotton fu
tures opened steady at an advance of 3
to 7 points on higher cables than ex
I ected and buying by leading bull oper- I
ators. Soon after the call prices stood N
to 9 points up. Hulls withdrew their
support and the market commenced to
f, li off under scattered short selling, some
of which was prompted by the better
wtather conditions over the cotton region
and the promise of more dry weather in
the forecast, in the early trading the
volume of business was not large. At tlie
rnet of the first half hour prices were 2
to 3 points over yesterday’s close.
Around the middle of tire morning fire
i arket did better on a wave of buying
Operators were impressed by spot holder s
bring unwilling to grant concessions to
purchasers. There was no life to the mar
ket. Hulls made little efforts to press
their advantage. At a level of ll to 12
points up the advance stopped, scalping
longs took their profits and prices fell j
off again, standing at noon at a net rise
of 8 to 9 points.
In the afternoon the trade acquired a
steady* tone on the report from Washing
ton that the census bureau was out with
c statement to the effect, that only 356,074
hales of linters had been turned out rip
tu January 1. This was smaller than eg
