Hides, Tallow, Wool and Hops. The tanners ray that present indications point to a rpeedy termination of the strike, which wlll.be a great easement to the market. Wet salted Hides arc -weaker, but no lower. The demand for dry Hides Is exceptionally good. Horse Hides continue to sell very well, and there is a good demand for Goat Skins. Tal low continues In light supply, firm. and In de mand. Blocks of Wool consist of odds and ends, and any increase In the demand would speedily clean these ud. The market continue* very firm, but quiet. Tho situation in Hops . shows little change Growers and buyers continue apart In their views, and there, is not much going on at the moment .The growers, as a rule, are firm holders.

NEW YORK. Jan. 13.— The stock market mada a further reaction to-day,, but made some lecovery during the last hour and clos:d Ir regular. The heaviness of the market had no better explanation than yesterday. Money ad vanced Jrom I't per cent at the opening to j per cent, but no difficulty was experienced in getting it and little attention t>cemed to be paid to the money Kituatlon by the opera tors fn stocks. This was not true, however, d the fortlun exchange market and the anx iety felt !n regard to thct development was Cue. of coun-e, to the probable effect on money. Ktor'ing was in quite strong demand to-day, in *pite of ye^terdaj*'*: heavy engagement 01' grain for export and good hopes of a contin uance of this outgo. London's operations in stocks here were not en a large scale and did not influence exchange. It Is believed that some bills are about maturing that represent borrowings abroad for New York account dur ing the money stringency here last month. There is a likelihood also that there is fome accumulation of exchange to provide, payment for French rentes, for which there is said to be S'lrr.e present demand on account of the American Insurance companies. The effect in Berlin yesterday of the foreshadowing of a German loan was duplicated in London to-day by the expectation of an early announcement of a Transvaal loan. These Government oper ations are probably ¦ the true explanation of the hardening of. foreign money rates, and It is believed that our obligations to foreign money - centers are, etlll sufficient to permit them to draw gold from us In cass of need. This prospect would have a natural -tendency to check wholesale commitment* In specula tion for a rl»e In New York. But yesterday's disappointing response from the general pub lic to last week's considerable and Inviting rise served to admonltih the managers of : the advance that little was to b* hoped-for yet from the public in the way of absorbing' se curities which still remain In the ' hands ot syndicates and promoters. Renewed strength of the Erie and St. Paul this morning and vig orous support of Reading seemed to be de- EASTERN MARKETS. Provisions.
