Dealings were at the point of stagnation between the occasional spurts of moderate activity. . The most' influential movement in its gen eral effect was that in Consolidated Gas, in which a renewal of liquidation was prompted by the publication of the annual report, and the pessimistic opinion . expressed in official utterances accompanying it of th« earning power lof the company under the legal re struction of the price ot gas to 80 cents. The price of the stock dropped perceptibly over Si points to a lower level than was touched In the slump i'ollowirg the decision of the su preme court against the company. The desire to await the appearance of the quarterly report of, the Steel corporation was a factor in the later dullness. Railroad deal rumors showed vitality and furnished the principal points of strength in the market. Chesapeake & Ohio passed into the hands of the interests that but lately mar keted successfully the control ot the Colorado & Southern, and negotiation was made with the banking house which had taken ovor Penn sylvania holdings of this stock. It was inferred that the southern line situa tion would not be disturbed by the new con trol, while assumptions of more liberal policy In the distribution of profits also helped the advance in the. stock. At the same time the. rumor of the coming control of the Wabash by the Delaware, Lacka wanna & Western sprang into new life and was effective in lifting; the preferred stock and the refunding bonds of the Wabash to a higher level. . Foreign markets are uneasy over the Bal kan . situation, and there was a balance of sales over purchases of stock for London ac count in New York. ' Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $8,045,000; government bonds quiet. ; New York Stocks Special service to The Herald. by Dick Bros. & Co., members New York Stock exchange, Bradbury building;, Los Angeles: NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—Following were the closing quotations on the stock exchange to day: Bid.

Slxta «tre«C FRESH MEATS ADVANCE IN LOS ANGELES MARKET REACH HIGHEST POINT OF FIVE YEARS Ectter Tone Prevails in Fruit and Vegetables—Onions, Beans and Cheese Advance—Fish Con tinues Scarce Fresh meats advanced In the Los Angeles market yesterday, reaching the highest point quoted in five years. For the past two months rices have been gradually advancing, but the la.^t advance was not expected so soon. The advance is said to be general, affecting cattle, sheep and hogs. The advance ranged from Vac to lc a pound. The new quotations put steers at tyfcc, heifers at Be, milk lambs at 13c, year lings at lihiiC wethers at 10c, ewes at 9!sc, dressed hogs at 10c. The advance was due to a scarcity in live sUck, it is said. The drought made it impos sible to fatten sufficient cattle last summer and fall. There was a better tone in the produce mar ket yesterday. Receipts were much larger than for Monday, and there was a correspond ing improvement in the demand. Onions advanced to $2.50 aa top, but sold as low as $2.25. a Pink, lima and blackeye beans advanced about 25c a hundred, and cream brick and lim burger cheese lc a pound. The fish market was cleaned up early. Fish ermen experienced difficulty both in catching and shipping. The result was a poor market. Vegetables and fruit were unchi^lged from Monday. Prices were the same. V.

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.—Wheat covered a range of J'' 4 c for May and closed %c lower than yes terday. The market had but Vie recovery from the low figures at the close. The activity was certainly a relief from the extreme dullness of yesterday. The selling in the end, which made the low price*, was led by strong La Salle street interests, followed by a number of tired local holders who let wheat go on stop loss orders, and with this was coupled considerable selling pressure from the bear forces in the local trade. There was no active support from the recognized bull leaders, who were busy covering a line of short corn. News features for the day were about a standoff. All of the grain markets were firm at fair advance. The ' United Kingdom has extreme cold weather and the crop outlook on the continent is not the best. Spot wheat at Liverpool was very strong, in some cases $4 to Id higher. Besides this Bradst/eet'i decreased world's stocks 1, --958,000 bushels. Sales of cash wheat here were B,OM buckets, mostly to outside milling points. On the other hand Minneapolis had larger re ceipts than last year and stocks there are de creasing only half as much as for the same day h:si week. Primary receipts were almost equal to those of a year ago. A large element in the local trade has been very bearish for ilays aid when it was found that there was no support from the bull leader the market was forced off very quickly. Conditions are un changed at home and abroad and believe in exercising great caution about selling wheat on such a break. Prefer to advise resting orders to take on some long wheat for a possible quick rebound. 1.0.-al railroad receipts of 467 cars of corn were well over the estimate. This cut but little figure with the'trade, however, as re celvera had advices' from the west that country Offerings were moderate. Liverpool cables were thin and higher, light American offerings. Sample market was \ 2 c higher. Contract stocks of cos n were decreased nearly* 300,000 bushels for the week. Bra<l.street's decreased stocks east of the Rockies nearly 80.000 bushels, but the Important feature in the trade was the switch of a strong local interest from the sell ing to the buying side of May corn. Brokers for this one house covered a million bushels of May corn, putting the price a shade over 62V4c. There is a smaller estimate of 195 cars for tomorrow. Mats prices had very little action for the day. Bradstreet'a decreased 365,000 bushels. With Miiall receipt! we see nothing bearish in the oats situation. The provision market showed a little heavi ness from the start and the decline in pro ducts waa started by sales of good sized lines Of ril>s and lar.l by recent active buyers in the gvain trade. There was some talk of increased run of hogs because of better country roads aiul the higher prices at th" yards.

In only six years these earnings have in creased more than 1000 per cent, or from a little less than $300,000. In 1S»OS the company made almost $1,000, --000 more than it did in 1907, although that year doubled the net earnings of the previous year.

Another striking fact is the total amount of oil sales, which aggregated $5,167,540.00 in the year just closed. Of this, the San Francisco department, which sells most of the exported oil—that which goes to New York and that In Northern California — amounted to $6,389,586.24. or about 100 per cent more than in 1907.

They work three shifts of cashiers and as sistants at the All Night and Day bank, so as to keep competent men In attendance at all hours of the twenty-four. Cashier J. S. Moore and his assistant, H. M. Ostrom, go on duty at 8:30 in the morning and remain on until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Night Cash ier E. R. Millar is on duty from 9 p. m. to 7 a. m. Assistant Cashier T. F. Green takes the split trick from 5 to 9 p. m. and from 7 to 9 a. m. President Newton J. Skinner is on hand from 8:30 o'clock in the morning until 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon. The bookkeepers and clerical force keep more regular hours. The bank ha*s already established itself in favor with several different classes of cus tomers. There has not been a day since the first week that the bank opened when less than twenty new accounts ware opened, and the banner day was this week, when fifty new depositors were listed. Suburban merchants find the bank a great convenience for them, since they do not hava to lose two hours in the busiest part of their day to come down town to do their banking. Either they come in early morning, when they have other business to transact at the mar kets, or in the evening after their stores are closed. The theaters have found it a convenience to make deposits of gate moneys from their matinee and evening performances. Street car men who cannot get off their runs in banking hours are finding night banking hours a great convenience. Working men who re ceive pay checks on Saturdays after clearing house banks are closed have taken to getting their checks cashed on Saturday nights, and many of them have opened little savings ac counts. The presence of robbers and the experiences of several who have been held up at night when supposedly carrying home rolls of money have caused many to patronize the new bank at late hours of the night, and in one or two instances timid individuals have asked tha bank to hold their gold watih>>s and jewelry over night, besides all their money except car fare.
