I G WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. I The Men About the Pork Pit Want to Get at Mr. Plankinton's At titude. 3oth "Wheat and Pork Believed to be a Good Investment at Present Figures, A. Typical Saturday Market, Prices Fluctuating but Little, Clos-s Ing Low. The Situation In Railway Stocks at New York Getting Very Bear ish. Indeed. Chicago Grain and Provisions. Special to the Globe. Chicago, Jan. 23.— situation in the wheat market probably presents a better showing than at any time for several months. Prices have trot down to some where near the proper figure and an ad vance may be looked for, not a large or sodden advance, but a steady, healthy rise in values. This view of the case is based on the consumptive demand which may reasonably be expectdkl from the American people, and leaves the export feature out of the question entirely. The stock of wheat and Hour in the country at the pres ent time, it is only reasonable to suppose,' will be pretty well used up before j the next crop can be made j available, taking it for granted that the I next crop will be a complete success when it comes. When the export feature is taken into consideration it is only fair to presume there will be some portion of our present supply taken by foreign countries. Austra lian and Indian wheat is well enough in its way; and. allowing that them is a large exportable surplus in those countries, the fact still remains that American wheat will Mill be taken, as the wheat from those countries will not stand the ocean voyage and be lit for use as flour WITHOUT BEING MIXED with the good hard and reliable American article, If the stuff does not go to export in the Corn of wheat it will in the form of Hour, for the fact remains that they must have it, Belgian legislation to the contrary notwithstanding. Again, it is not certain Ihe next crop will be a success, and though that time is still far in the distance, it is safe to say that, with several months of winter weather ahead, the crop is liable to sume risks. At any rate this feature will But some figure in the manip ulation of the next few months, and prices will at times probably show a figure much above their real value ;>n this account, but outside of this an ad vance is not probable but to a certain de gree certain. Price" have got to a point Where they cannot go much lower, and the visible supply of grain has not only got to a point where it cannot go higher, but has begun to go the other way. After the first week of decrease in the visible the great bulk now showing will dwindle away very fast, and as that has heretofore been the great, black cloud obscuring the light in TIIK COMMERCIAL SKY, its removal will bring with it a returning hope and cheer to the many dealers who have been long hoping for an era of higher prices. The course of the price of wheat will depend largely during the next week on Chicago's visible supply figures. Wheat certainly is not going abroad. Only two boatloads were taken to-day, and less than 600,000 bushels went out of -New York last week, It is claimed, however, that the de mand from the interior points for wheat is so sharp that the present huge visible supply will from this on be rapidly depleted. It is a little remarkable that the prices of winter wheat at Toledo, Detroit and St. Louis should be as high or higher than at New York, and this partly sustains the assertions of this extraordinary home and interior demand. The visible supply figures Monday will show how sharp and bow general this demand is. If there is a decrease of 100.000 bushels or more the market is likely to be jiretty well sustained. Wheat dropped to-day, and about lc of the advance was lost. The opening was firm at last evening's closing prices, and Hutchinson began BITTING IX LARGE BLOCKS. at the market. The crowd very generally looked for higher prices, but the sight of a head stuck up conspicuously was too great a temptation, and with Donnybrook in stinct the traders went at it. Schwartz & Dupee led oft with tremendous offerings and others followed. The scalpers, who had been following the market up, closed out their trades and went the other way, and these professionals who were naturally bearish joined in and sold. The buyers were brought to a standstill and the screws were put on with redoubled force, pressing the market du«vu from B6J{eto B.V.|C for May. A reaction carried the price back to 85*£e, but it subsequently dropped to 85J^o and closed at 85^@85J^c Public market cables were quoted as steady and dull. Some private advices quoted an advance of 3d. and gave the additional in formation that the advance had stopped business. The very latest news from across the water was that Liverpool had softened on the early break here, but these "latest" morsels from abroad do not weigh sixteen ounces to the pound quite. Com eased off to-day In sympathy with wheat, selling down ?^c under heavy selling of May by A. M. Wright & Co. and David DOWS. OATS WERE STRONG, and higher early, but the advance was sub sequently lost. All hog product was lower. Pork sold off 10(o>12><c and lard and ribs Be, as compared with yesterday. The mar ket was weaker to-day than it has been for some time past. It had little solid support from any quarter apparently. Speculators about the provision pit would like to be able to settle whether to-day's drop in pork was Simply a little easing upon the "shorts" to invite more selling, or a sort of collapse of a deal which has always been in the hands of outsiders and was started by outsiders. There were no new developments to-day. The bulls .be lieve that Plankinton is at the head of the bulls; that he has cleverly spread around his orders so as all the time to give the im pression that it was an outsiders' bull move ment. The facts wont be known to a dead certainty, of course, until the price is a good deal higher or a good deal lower than they are now. The market acts peculiarly — at times seems to bear out one and at times to bear out the other assumption. peter tiehket. Pres. F. W. AxnETtsov, Cashier. C. W. GRIGGS, V. Fres. A. C. Axdkkson', Asst.

Jan. 23.— The stock market was dull again to-day, with the interest cen tering principally in St. Paul and Union Pa cific. The opening throughout the entire list was at a sharp docline from last night's ' closing. St. Paul opened with a drop ot 1 j point. The talk was that something unfavor- , able to the stock would be done before the directors adjourned. People in Chicago who claim to have lnsido information were very bearish and predicted a drop to 85. The stock sold down to 92, and was heavily traded in around that figure. It was rumored that 11 big bull pool had been formed in Union Pa cific. ii was said that purchases of 50,000 to 100.000 slimes would be made, but the stock sold off in the face of all this bull talk. It was said that an attempt would bo mode in congress to compel the Pacific Mail company ' to refund to tho government the amount of j the subsidy paid by the Union and Central I Pacific, on the ground that these roads, being : indebted to the government, bad no right to ; make such disposition 01 their earnings. The ■took sold ex-dividend and was decidedly weak. Lake Shore and the rest of tho Van derliilts Hold off with tho general market, east bound shipments were light, but the de ficiency la this regard, it whs Mild, was more 1 than made up by the increased local business. i On the whole the market could be best de scribed as inactive and hoavy. Western Union was particularly heavy late in the day. i Other securities exhibits! little change, though the tendency was unmistakably down ward. The failure of the managers of the Southwestern roads to accomplish anything ! and the adjournment of the St. Paul directors until next week without doing anything were , construed as unfavorable to tbe market. The close was very weak, particularly in St. Paul, which recorded a decline of about 1J a points during the day. BANK OF MINNESOTA. Paid Up Capital $600,000; Surplus $50,000. Wm. Daweun, J'r«*. Rout.

After opening at 92J-8, and selling early % higher, it broke to Mi's, rallied again to 92%, and after tho announcement that the board of directors that has been in session for two days, considering the ques tion of providing for the extension of lines i to Kansas City und elsewhere, had adjourned until Wednesday next, a decided weakness was developed and it closed at 91, a net loss of 2*4.

Continued rumors of adverse legislation affecting Pacific Mail and reports that the government was likely to in stitute proceedings to recover part of the subsidy paid to Pacific Mall by the Pacific rail roads led to f urtner weakness in that stock, and It closed with a loss of 1%.
