Jan. 6.—Speculative liquidation was renewed In the stock market today with much the same appearance of urgency as on the opening day of the New Year. There waa no 14 per cent money rate today to account for tits weakness of the slock market and other nominal explanations were advanced, Many of these bcrc an appearance of ni> ro surmise, tho busiest of which centered about Rock Island, Its recent stock market history and the personal element connected v.'Kh It. The personal phase ot' the discussion was a supplement to tho gossip brought out by the reccntric bulgo ot 3114 points in the stock, followed by a total relapse, all within tlti apace of fifteen minutes on the day after tho Clirlatmas holiday Interval. Rumors were plentiful regarding tho scope and the power of the Influence* beinpr used to make effective the desired disapproval of the Rock Island market management. The principal Belling of the day wad attrib uted to the retirement of speculative commit ments which had been prompted by this dis ciplinary movement. More substantial grounds for the weakness Of Block! were found in other factors. Tor one thine the unexpected stringency of th« money tnarket after the first of the year and Ihe absence of Investment demand for stocks growing out of the annual disbursements of profits have proved a disappointment. One of Difficulties One of the difficulties encountered in hnld- Imr ovar through the autumn was the fall In the banking surflus to near 'the vanishing point in November. The wholesale shifting of loans then re sorted to In order to avert a deficit Involved the assumption of obligations which are be lieved to be coming: due now. The money market facilities for meeting these obligations are less than expected and liquidation in face 1 i languid speculation demand la necessary. The relief afforded to the loan account of tiie tian*ks in November was secured partly, It is believed, by large advances from surplus treasury funds of the great corporations. These had to be recalled In connection with tlr; enormous annual settlements. The. course of events at Washington divided attention with the happenings within financial district and were given their share of respon sibility for the action of thff mnrket. Last prices witre about the lowest of the day and the tone was acutely weak when operations were concluded. , Bonds were easy. Total sales par value $4,960,000.

Bull support was quickly In evidence anil, as the- decline 1 ('ld not extend into new ground, the market abovo 16c appeared to have been pretty well liquidated on Monday and yesterday. Liver pool was a seller on arbitrage, but buying from the usual bull quarters together with a i brisk demand from the southwest oh the ex pectation of a bullish glnners' report on Mon day brought a alow recovery to abov« last , night's prices. On the advance heavy profit taking appeared from Wall street and Chi cago houses which held the market in check through the early afternoon somewhat above yesterday's closing level. It Is generally ex pected that'the pinners' report will be bullish enoush, but there appears to be a growing Ineuination to take profits on the advances. Liverpool cables were dua to come unchanged to I - lower, but that market opened barely steady 'A lower on near months, and 4 lower on late months. At l-':ir, p. m market was easy at a net decline of B>i to 10 points. Later cable reported a recovery of v to l point from 12:15 o'clock. Spots are In moderate de mand and s lower at 8.28.

Los Angeles. CHICAGO, Jan. s.—Bullish sentiment was again prominent early hut gave way to a rather tired and heavy feeling In the market later. The market id less responsive to tl.e bullish news that Is being circulated with considerable freedom today and more respon- , sive to the selling, which is persistent but not prominent. Cash wheat premiums were re ported firmer both at Minneapolis and St. I Louis. Cash prices here were easier, despite the reported large sales. The opening was easy on poor response in Liverpool to yester day's still advance here. Australian offoiings in Europe were larger. Cash wheat sales here and the plentiful bull news carried prices up to near yesterday's closing level, where the supply of wheat proved as large as was the supply of bullish news. Broomhall estimates tre world's crop of wheat at 3.436,000 bushels, against 3,063, --000 000 bushels last year, thus showing the crop to be 374,000,000 bushels larger than last year. Big trade In corn. Deferred months made new high points of the crop by small frac tions, while May sold within a very scanty fraction of Its former high point. ■ There has been much realizing by smaller western lonsts, also much In arid out trading, evidently to ills guise operations by large traders acting through private wire and other concerns and brokers. Heavy snows over the corn belt in last forty-eight hours promise to cripple the marketing. Ohio reports made rather low con dition of corn in cribs. The volume of trade in oats was large. Prices sharply higher under active call from cash concerns, eastern buyers and shorts early. Market reacted from the top on realizing sales later from about the same sources as in corn and »ii at, larger Influential grain concerns. May delivery ran away ahead of more de ferred months. The provision market quite irregular. Janu ary deliveries did some unusual stunts In the way of advnnces early, but wore ■ leo sus ceptible to big changes the other way later. More disposition to sell the prwlU'-t now. The light hoc receipts did not create as much enthusiasm as usual, except as above, tempo rarily In January. Market Ranges WHEVT— Onen. High. Low.
