EASTERN MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK, Feb. 4. — Transactions in stocks fell to the point of stag
nation today. There was a light demand during the early part of the day,
centering in a few stocks and coming from only a few brokerage houses
which have been active sellers for the last few days, supposedly on the short
tide of the market. The slight effect on prices produced by the develop
ments which are regarded as unavoidable recently prompted the bears to
cover their short contracts. There was at the same time a cessation of the acute
\u25a0weakness in special stocks which has proved disquieting recently, and also
of the reports current to explain this weakness and which alleged trouble
some features regarding the finances of the companies. No more was heard
of the talk of the intended receivership for the Rock Island and the securi
ties of that company enjoyed a substantial recovery. There was not much
in the news of the day to afford positive grounds. Statistics of the American
railway association on idle cars in "the United States and Canada on Janu
ary 22 placed the number at 335,000, or 15 per cent of the total equipment.
The inference is that some 8,000 locomotives are also idle and the valuation
of the property thus earning no revenue may be computed at hundreds of
millions of dollars. Another source of embarrassment to the economies
planned by the railroads is the large cost of moving empty cars, which is
prompted by the heavy penalties attached to retaining cars of other com
panies which were put in force at the time of the car famines.
The falling off in activity of bonds was as marked fts in stocks. The
tone was irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,486,000. United States bonds
were unchanged on call. \

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain and Provisions
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.— Sentiment in the wheat
pit was bullish all day and prices adTanced
nearly 2c from the low point of the session.
Commission bouses were liberal buyers, .. while
shorts covered freely. An lmproTed export de
mand was one of the chief incentives to buyers.
Smaller primary ' receipts and a decrease of
1.250,000 bushels in the world's risible supply,
compared with an increase of 2,216,000 bushels
for the corresponding time last year, were addi
tional bullish influences. The market closed
strong. May opened unchanged to 14c lower at
05T6<ft96c, advanced to 97%®97?ic and closed at
97%@9794c.
Corn was strong all day on baying by shorts
and bulls. A decreased movement, an improve
ment in spring demand and an official forecast
of unsettled weather for the corn belt were the
chief reasons for demand. May opened un
changed to Vie higber at 69% c, advanced to
6114 c and closed at 61c. •
The oats market was strong, although the busi
ness was In small volume. The upturn was
due to good demand by longs and the covering
by shorts. Offerings came mainly from holders.
May opened *£c higher at Slric, advanced to
S3%c and closed at 53'gc. -
Provisions were easy early In the day becauso
of 'selling by local packers, but later the market
rallied in sympathy with grains. At the close
May pork was up 20c, lard was up 12{£c and
ribs were 15c higher.

' 'Potatoes,, Onions and Vegetables
The market for. table potatoes has again set
tled into a groove. Retailers and Jobbers, being |
well supplied against immediate wants, hare no
incentive to purchase freely, and with stocks far ;
in excess ;of \u25a0 the ' demand the market is weak,
with: some sellers ready to cut prices to effect
Clearances. Seed kinds,' particularly the early
rose and garnet chile varieties, are in good re
quest and quite firm, with supplies limited. The
onion market rules strong »a light and Irregular
receipts. Oregon • lots are passing out of first
hands almost as fast . aa received, most of them
going at the . outside quotation, while eastern
stock finds ready sale when offered at $2.85- a i
cental.
Arrivals of vegetables were extremely small
yesterday, even for Tuesday, which la almost al
ways a day of light receipts. Prices for southern
summer descriptions showed but little Improve
ment, however, as there was quite a carry over
from the preceding day and the demand was lim
ited anyhow. Mushrooms were suddenly scarce,
only 35 boxes arriving during the day. and prices
> took a Jump. A 40 pound box of choice aspara
gus came In from the river and sold at 40c a

and Game
Three more cars of chickens were at hand
from the middle west yesterday, making five cars
from that source in two days; These arrivals,
together with what was carried over from last
week, kept the market liberally supplied, and as
buyers were well stocked . up the feeling amocg
sellers was decidedly weak. Arrivals of native
chickens were/llght, and for that reastn prices
were fairly well maintained, but the only de
scriptions to show the least firmness were "broil
ers and fryers. Geese, ducks and pigeons con
tinued to sell fairly at. the old quotations, and
what few turkeys were offering found buyers at
tbe prices established on the preceding day. Ar
rivals of game were only . 08 sacks, consisting
chiefly of geese. and hare, which sold at the old
quotations, while most kinds of wild ducks were
higher.

Butter, Cheese and Eegs
Owing to the I recent storms * there has been a
run of light receipts In the egg market, and with
the daily arrivals insufficient to satisfy the In
creased demand caused by low prices at retail,
wholesale rates have strengthened considerably
since last week. Prices have been improving
slowly for some days, but yesterday, 9 when an
actual shortage developed, -there was a sudden
Jump, extras advancing 3c to 26c a dozen, while
firsts were lc and seconds l%c higher. It was
purely a weather market, however, and a return
to lower prices was confidently expected. . ,
. Stocks of strictly fine fresh butter are none too
large, and, while it . is generally conceded that
the price Is rather low, no one seems inclined to
boost the market. ... In fact, the feeling among
receivers Is one of weakness, as, despite the fact
that ; Los Angeles Is quoting higher prices than
rule here, sellers In - that region are shipping
their : surplus this way. This makes. for general
weakness, as it is believed that a break in values
in -the south would' divert shipments direct from
creameries to this market.
Cheese is. weak, in sympatHy with butter, and
new Young Americas and Oregon storage I goods
are %c a pound lower. ,
The only transaction on the exchange was a
6ale of 20 cases of fresh extra eggs at the new
quotation, .which was bid for . more up to the
close of the call.;- Tb« quotation was bid for the
best fresh butter,. but there were no sales, \ with
buyers and sellers apart In their views on
cheese. •
Receipts were 23,000 pounds butter, 3,600
pounds cheese and 662 cases eggs.
M The following are official quotations as estab
lished by sales, bids and offers on the floor of
the dairy exchange. Prices on the street, while
governed by the exchange quotations, generally
range from l%c to 2c higher, owing to the vari
