12 FINANCIAL-COMMERCIAL SLUMP FOLLOWS RISE IN STOCKS SPECULATION BLOWS HOT THEN COLD PRESSURE OF MARKET IS UNEX. PLAINABLE Money Position Works Easier, and Renewal of Foreign Buying of Cotton Is Reflected in the Exporting of Gold [Associated Press] NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—Speculative sentiment blew hot and cold in the stock market today and the sudden transpositions offer violent contrasts. Demand for stocks early in the day was so impressixe and seemed to be coming from such lnflu entiai sources that the tone of the speculation became hopeful. One or two items in the news were construed in the same spirit. The ret rospect oT the market would have to go back many months to find pri< which stocks could have been acquired to offer ami profit on the sales made at today's prices. This fact accen tuated the conviction of thoroughness of the liquidating movement and pre vented unloading on the part of buy ers of larger caliber, who had come into the market at an early stage of last year's advance. The belief was thus created in a closing up of a market campaign of lons duration and widespread extent. There was nothing in the immediate situation to explain the pressure of the market. The money position worked easier and the weekly bank statement of Saturday gave warrant for confi dence in the security of the money market from further stringency. There was an engagement of gold for South America, but the foreign ex change market was easier, In spite of the decline in money rates. This movement might reflect renewal of for eign buying of cotton Invited by the severe decline In that commodity. The acute weakness of the trans continental railroad stocks today mdi■ ■ i mii;"'ivi" o's on the score of de* creased traffic as well as a possible re <li.-tribution of traffic growing out of the opening of new Pacific coast ex tensions. This was a factor in the weakness of the Hill stocks and of St. Paul and the further postponement of the suit to dissolve the Union Pacific merger was made the occasion of some y strength in that market, but it was among the weakest in the later Ing. The satisfaction of the demand to cover the shorts on the part of the bears about exhausted the buying at the recent price level and thr subse quent pause placed prices lower than low prices of Saturday morning, rallying power was feeble and the closing tone weak. Bonds were easy: total sales, par value, $4.36 C,OOO. United States 2s de clined l-s pur cent on call. NEW YORK STOCKS Special service to The Herald by J. C.

NEW YORK COTTON Eppcial service to The Herald by .1. C. Wil .son, 212 West i^fth street, Los Angeles. NEW YORK. Jan. 17.—Th« course of cotton prices in today's market demonstrated thor oughly that Saturday'! sensational rally was a temporary matter. Today's opening was slight ly lower, for the near options to practically un changed for those of the new crop. After this a rally carried the level back to about Satur day's close, but In the early part of the after noon pressure was renewed and the prices fell away rapidly. The liquidation was quite heavy, but in a more orderly manner and lacking In any sensational features, in the last few min utes the market rallied somewhat from the lowest, but closed feverish and unsettled.

I CHICAGO GRAIN Special service to The Herald by J. C. Wil son, member Chicago board of trade, New York Stock exchange, and San Francisco Bond and Stock exchange, 212 West Firth atreat, Los Angeles. CHICAGO. Jan. 17.— Increased heaviness has been seen in wheat today. There has been very feeble recovery from any point. Support has shown a diminishing ratio, the weakness in cash wheat and the big receipts being the all Important factors, Cash wheat has not v en us wt ak here as Is reported from other oenters, but the volume of business to mills hus been disappointing. Nebraska has been of fering wheat here rather freely to arrive, and the market has been In no shape to absorb the offerings. Cash wheat shipments northwest are shrinking materially. London statistic figures .showing the world's crop 3,i>&3,000,000 bushels, against 8,282,000,000 bushels the previous crop, and total crop of 3.0li&,000,000 bushels two years ago, have had more influence today than any previous estimates. Argentine news was un favorable, but oiiViings of La Plata in Europe are larger than heretofore. Foreign markets generally were lower. Cash sales hern today, 30,000 bushels. The latter Is counted small In View of the extent of the declines. The corn market started strong, but declined materially with other grains. Mild weather has loosened up the railroad situation and re suited in bis: arrivals at many points. Wet and mild weather Is not counted favorable for increasing new marketings, but Is releasing much grain in country elevators and on side tracks. Fairly good eastern shipping call at decline. Some of the larger eastern longs have sold May and bought July corn on an exten sive scale today. Oftts prices today followed the general trend of other grains, although the net losses have not been as severe. Cash oats In sample mar ket was steady. Not a very large trade In provisions. Values have felt the weakness in grains, although the bog reports have again been bullish and pack ers have bought a little stuff in the market. Market Ranges WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.
