1 6 THE PUZZLE IN PORK. A Sharp and Decided Advance, Oausinar Uneasiness Among Dealers in Provision Pits. Wheat Also Shows an Advance, but the Bears Profess to be Satisfied With the Result. But There in a Growlnjr Belief that "Wheat Is a Good Thing to Go "Lone" On. An Inactive Opening Followed by a Sharp Bear Drive In the Wall •Street Market. Chicago Grain and Provisions. Special to the Globe. Chicago, Jan. 10.— Both sides have had a severe shaking up during the week, but the bulls have bad decidedly the worst of it, ami along about Friday noon they were a very battered looking set. During the week the wheat market his witnessed a bulge and a break. There were but two days, how ever, when the marked ■ > quotably strong. Tin; prevailing tone was weak, with prices closing an even 4c lower than on the Friday previous. The real standing of the market has been clearly illustrated by the abort dis tance the purchase of a few million bushels advances the price, and by the Cat greater distance the sale of a like amount puts the price down. In other words, it bulls a great deal harder than it bean. While the figures show a decline, it must be acknowl edged that the causes bringing about these results have been composed largely of "win.!,"' and reports . having no actnal foundation in fact. Among this class of minors has been the talk of gold exports. Twice during the week the market has been seriously depressed by fallacious reports of this kind. There has not only not been any exports of gold, but it is improbable that there will be. Such, at least, is the view taken by a leading Chicago banker. Kis a noteworthy fact that these rumored exports have been regularly denied on the clay following their systematic production. The only logical conclusion is that reports are originated in the East to Influence con gressional legislation and sent West for ef fect on the grain market. The big pur chases of the week have been principally on "short" account, quantities of this kind of wheat being taken at bottom prices. Sales have been jointly on "short'! account and of ":.o •a;"' WHEAT, on which margins bad become about ex hausted. All over the country small hold ers have been shaken out. On Thursday it was reported that the bears were after the BcaJp of Crosby, one of the millers 1 associa tion leading lights and a holder of several hundred thousand bushels of wheat, but they could not freeze him out, and now he will keep his wheat .until it pleases his own Sweet Will to let it go. The class who be lieve that higher prices are about to be the order of the day are receiving numerous ac cessions to their ranks. The ground work is made Of the visible supply and the unus ual weather conditions. '1 he former, it is claimed, will show next week a decrease of about 1,000,000 bushels. The other argu ment is that the warm weather is taking nil the snow off the winter wheat. leaving it covered with water, which, with a little cold weather, will turn to ice and result in incalculable damage to the crops. A portion of this argument is worthy of more or less credence. Having been bearish on wheat all the way down from Si, it seems improbable that the decline will be of very much longer duration. An advance is dependent on three things: A steadily decreasing visible supply, damage to winter heat and foreign war. Any one of these three would advance the price, but the third cause is by no means as likely to occur as the two former. A concentration of speculation on either side, however, would be of greater moment to the trade than anything else, all well-regulated guesses made by manipulation excepted. Notwithstanding its price wheat is still about 15c above a practical export basis, though wheat can be EXPORTED ON PAPER and no money lost by the operation. Pork Is being industriously bulled, and higher prices are probable. The week has wit nessed an advance of about 35®45c per barrel. To-day not less than 100^000 bar rels were traded in. Wheat develoi>ed firmness, and staying qualities to-day not anticipated by the bears. The market opened about where it PBOted last evening, and h desire to get a little ofjthe staff mani fested itself in all parts of the pit. JNobody appeared anxious to bull the market, for on every bulge the buyers drew out sad waited for prices to recede before completing pur chases. Booses representing New York and the Northwest were among the i and steadiest buyers. The improvement was attributed very largely to the anticipated increase in the visible for the week of nearly tf not quite 1,000,000 bushels. The sculping elements Beized upon this legitimate feature of cliiUiL/vd conditions as a good excuse for a decisive speculative reaction, and the mer chant class had a good4sal* to say in the same general line. The deal was, as usual. confined principally to May. which opened c sold down to s4"|,-, advanced to [Uently easing off and closing at h.">3,rc. On the curb at 2 o'clock there was a break of Jtfc in wheat. May selling at 85c. There waiv rumors of grain failures abroad. In the pork crowd the purchases by Stone \esterday are still the talk of the brokers and speculators. The purchase of 20,000 to 'J5.000 barrels of pork by a broker who, heretofore, has done his business in 350 barrel lots, and then the Riving ui< of the name of a man who never in his life was known to have a dollar's interest in pork were also puzzlers. Kent & Favorite smile so significantly when asked about the transaction that those who do ask them set it down to Mr. Armour and Mr. Kent, and the big purchases are XO PUZZLE AT ALL. This morning 0. EL Adams & Co. took short 6.000 barrels for May at from 81 0.85 up to 510.90, presumably for Armour & Co. Before the day was over the $11 point had been reached for May, and most of those in the crowd who had been un decided made up their minds pork was going to boom and they had better catch on. Houses near to Kent are getting bull ish in their advice to customers. This is significant, because Sid Kent has been pre sumably leading the fight on ti»e advance in pork. Bo far as the trade go, this is about the proper time to bull the pit. The houses have now been under way on "regu lar" pork two and one-half months, and the cellars must be pretty well filled if they evor will be. The stocks are large and the manufacturers ought to be in a sell ing mood. If they are. they will be found manipulating in advance. Trade conditions, however, about the pork pit have been disturbed since "Old Hutch"' left off packing and began to harass his old partners as an outsider. Then, too, remarkable as it may appear, the packing crowd has been very much mixed and at variance all this winter. Allerton has been a bull. The big New Emrland concern, the Inter national, has been bullish. Armour and the Chicago Packing company. Vent. Cudaby and the others have been bears. There may not be much of an advance in pork after all. with even the traditions forcing it. The trading crowd is divided between two opinions on the meiits of the provision deal. One story is that the heavy packers, who have been extenaUa sellers for future delivery against the product of their establishments, have been induced by mncxracTßD bhuhkaoi of receipts of hogs and the prevalence of cholera to shift their positions, and that they have gotten under the Backet, Armour and Kent leading off and the small packers following. The other theory is they have taken oil the pressure from on top and com bined to puff prices higher in order to sell their actual property at better figures, the covering of shorts by the Eldredge crowd and other strong bears affording the manu facturers of product a good chance to whoop up things, induce outside trading, realize v profit on the up turn and a correspondingly greater profit on a decline later. There were features in to-day's business to justify a suspicion of artificial stimulation, but brok ei-s and commission houses who were get : tine the orders "weren't saying a word.'' | The close was away up at 5 10. 70 for Jan- I vary. $10.7:J>£ for February, 810.80 for March and 311 for May pork; 50.15 for an uary and February. $6.20 for March and 56.32K for May lard; 35.30 for February. 55.37 X for March and 50. 50 for May short ribs.

New York, Jan. 16.— The stock market was less active to-day than for several days, in terest centering 1 principally in Pacific Mail. This stock opened at about yesterday's clos ingr, but was steadily hammered until a de cline of 1% points had been secured, the gen eral market remaining in the meantime about steady. The story was that a big bear pool had been formed in the stock about a week ago, and the heavy decline since then was at tributed to selling for account of this pool. The bottom to-day appeared to have been reached and a fractional rally was said to have besn caused by purchases to cover shorts for the pool. The coal stocks were comparatively quiet and were on the whole strong-. The trunk lines and grangers were not sold short to any extent. Kansas & Texas, which for some time has been inactive, spurted into prominence In an attempt of longs to realize, under which the stock de clined one point, reacting on fair purchases later. During the afternoon a fierce drive was made at the market, a drop of 1 •!'., points resulting in the whole list. Union Pa cific and Pacific Mail were about the weakest stocks, though after the break there was a fractional rally. It was said the represent ative of Drexel. Morgan & Co. was in con ference with the more & Ohio and Penu sylvania officials, and that a settlement of the trunk-line troubles might be expected at any moment, but up to the closing of the stock exchange nothing definite had been heard.

Half of the day's business was in Lackawanna, St. Paul, Pacific Mail and Lake Shore. The most conspicuous feature of the day's opera tions was the dealings in the coal stock and Pacific MaiL It is stated officially that no effort is now being made to bring about a set tlement of existing differences between the coal roads, and the belief ir very general that certain coal company officials are working in harmony with prominent Wall street specu lators for a decline in the prices of coal stocks before a combination is formed for the cur rent year.
