CHICAGO, J«ui. 11— Covering by shorts was
the principal fea-ure In ai'i vi t£e markets
on 'change today. In wheat this wfiS of
sufficient volume to overcome the effect of
rather bearish news. May closed at an ad
vence of %c Corn gained %<\ oats, V4c, and
provisions clcsrd 2%@5c higher. Trading was
light in all the pits.
There were supporting orders in wheat at
the opening, and also enough buying of sh'jrt
wheat at the s?.iiit' time to make firmness
quickly follow a quick opening. First trades
In May were at from W^c to 93Vic. compared
with 9OM>e yeßterday. Beyond a %d dec-line
it Liverpool, no reason was apparent for the
opening decline. Some weakness was d?
veloped on yesterday's cu:t>, and anti ipatior.s
of a moderate raid today probably had its
lnnuene-e at the start. The price slowly
improved during the next hour, but the
height of its forenoon bulge was 90% c. The
only notable feature of that '-c rise from the
lowest point at the opening, were the dull
ness and Email extent of the business that
accompanied it. Or'.e ritber heivy local oper
ator bought a&KHIt 250,000 bu he had previous
ry sold at a higher 1 rice, and the most of
the other buyers in the first two hours was
by the local scalpers, who kt appeared, must
have very generally gone home short yester
day. Northwest receipts wore 378 cars
against 330 the year before, and 405 a week
ago. Chicago' insper'tlun showed receipts of
100 cars, against 4iK the corresponding day
of last year. Of today's receipts 22 cars
were contract. Cables from Liverpool re
ported the continent reselling cargoes of CaH
fornia wheat and Argentine cargoes bringing
equal to J1.00% for January-February ship
ment, and being offered for later delivery
from 99c to 97% c delivered. The news from
the continent was of a similarly brairlsh
character, and tbe 25,0C0,0C0 to 40.O0O.CO:) bu
Argentina le expected to hive for export was
the text for all th<'ir dispatches. Bradstreefs
made the world's vlkible supply show an
Increase of 633,000 against a d?crease the
similar week in 1807 of 1,650,0C0 bu. New
York reported 100,000 bu No. 1 Manitoba
wheat, sf-ld for export at 12% c premium over
May. Exports from Atlantic ports were
equal, in wheat and flour, to 36">.000 bu. Clos
ing foreign markers were from %d to %d
lower at Liverpool, from 15 centimes to 50
centimes decline in flc-ur and 5 centimes to
Bo centimes in wheat at Paris, with Antwerp
unchanged. During the afteroon the market
developed marked strength. The Lelter
party, though selling some, certainly bought
a good deal more than they disposed of. A
good many of the smaller shorts covered
Tery freely toward the close, and the market
responded quickly to the buying. May ad
vanced to 91% c, and waa bringing 91c at
the colse.
Corn was firm although the market was
very dull throughout the session. Shorts were
inclined to cover and offerings were small,
particularly from the country. The rainy
weather influenced the price somewhat as it
was believed lighter receipts would result
therefrom. The firmness of wheat after its
weak opening was also a help. May ranged
from 29%@28%c to 28%@29c, and closed %c
higher at 29% c, Oats, with the exception
of the immediate opening, wfre firm all day.
The market was very quiet and outside of a
general inclination of Shorts to cover lacked
feature. The firmness of wheat and corn
waa mainly responsible for the strenigth in
oats. May rauged from 23% cto 2i%(g)23%c,
and closed %c higher at 23% c.
There was a small market in provision*.
Prices were firm and ruled at a slight ad
vance, although opening lower on large hog
receipts. Shorts were inclined to cover
and there wera no offerings from
packers. At tha close, May
pork was no higher at $9.37%; May lard a
shade higher, at $4.80. and May ribe 2%c
higher, at $4.70. Estimates for Wednesday —
Wheat, 40 cars; corn, 350 cars; oats, 146 cars;
hogs. 41,000 head.

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 11.— WTieat opened
fractionally lower this morning, In sym
pathy with eiM-ly cables from Liverpool and
London. At the same time it was noticeable
that the undertone, or market sentiment, was
much stronger thau yesterday, and later de
velopments proved it. The early news of the
day was bearish from nearly all quarters.
Later home news was bullish, elevator com
panies generally reporting the closing of
oountry houses for lack of offerings from
farmers, and that their country elevators were
swept clean of stock.
May wheait opened at SS%c. against 88%@
E9c yes-lerday, gained %c, sold at BS%@SS%c,
advanced to S9 1 ; i 'gß:)i4c, lost %c, again sold
at 69%&S9Vic. lost %c by 11:45 a. m., and
by noon held at 89% c. July wheat opened
at 87% c, being 14c under yesterday, lost Me
by 10 a. m.. and stood at that figure, with
no trading in it up to noon. The demand
for cash wheat was very good early in the
cession, with No. 1 northern going at I%@
2%c over the May price. Sellers, however,
who overstood the market had difficulty in
disposing of their grades later, and by noon
some were still seeking purchasers. Some
choice No. 1 northern sold at 3c over Mey.
Low grade :s were well taken care of. On
the whole, the day was not as satisfactory as
yesterday. Receipts here were 260 cars, and
shipments 47 cars.
Th© market ruled very quiet during the
greater part of the noon hour, scarcely any
trading being done, January wheat closed
at 9flHr. May wheat at 89%<g'S9%c, and July
at 87% c.

NEW JTORKJ DRY GOODS.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11.— Conditions continue
dull in all lin^y of cotton goods. The usual
Tuesday's dullness is accentuated by the fact
that the dealers^ in staple cottons are inclined
to take matters- easy, pending some action in
the Eastern mill strike situation. A review
of the situation in all lines of staple cottons
is unnecessary. The situation is unchanged.
The demand for all lines of staple cottons is
quiet, whether brown, bleached or coarse col
ored goods are considered.

LONDON ON THE SIDE OF BULLS.
New York Prices Did Not Respond
Fully to tlie Day's Rise In
Europe.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11.— London operators in
American securities had apparently recov
ered some of their confidence in the future
of values in this country today, after the
alarm they had manifested yescerday over
our political future. Some sharp gains were
recorded for Americans on the London ex
change before the opening hour. In fact the
London bullishness outran the local opinion,
and New York prices did not respond fully
to the rise in London. The market all
day was one difficult of understanding on
account of its unevenness. There were points
of notable strength and others of the marked
weakness in the list, and neither was alto
gether effective in giving tone to the market.
Sugar was the special point of weakness and
influence on the list. The grangers were
also heavy in the early dealings, though a
subsequent recovery brought their prices a
fraction above yesterday's close. The coalers
were centers of depression, on account of the
condition of trade and the unseasonable
mildness of the weather.
On the other hand, there was very strik
ing activity and strength in the Northern
Pacific stocks and in Union Pacific. This
strength seemed to extend also to allied and
connecting railroads in the West and North
west. Thus not only are Northern Pacific
and Union Pacific from 1 to 2 points higher,
but Denver & Rio Grande preferred. Union
Pacific, Denver & Gulf, Oregon Navigation,
Oregon Short Line and Oregon Improvement
show gains, ranging up to 2% points in Ore
gon Navigation. These stocks were strong
on anticipation of increased traffic from the
expected move to the Klondike. They were
helped also by the decision of the interstate
commerce commission to continue the sus
pension of the long and short haul clause on
traffic In competition with Canadian railroads.
The dealings in the stocks of these trans
continental lines were very heavy and trans
fers of blocks of several thousand shares,
individual transactions, were quite frequent
all day.
Manhattan was another feature of the mar
ket, on the authoritative announcement of
an intention to change to electric motive
power. People's Gas 6cored a sharp rise.
The Ohio soft coal roads showed a continu
ance of their recent strength and newly
awakened activity. Consolidated Gas moved
up 3 points and then fell back 4, and Metro
politan Street Railway closed at last night's
figures.
Money yielded slightly, but most of the
business of the day was done at 3 per cent.
In the time money market, however, rates
were down to 2% per cent for sixty days,
and from 3 to 3Vz per cent for three to seven
months. There was an active demand for
commercial paper, but the supply was good.
Among the notable movements of the day
were the decline of % in Baltimore & Ohio
and a rise of 2 points in the common and
preferred stock of Susquehanna & Western. .
The boud market was very active and the
high grade issues all showed higher prices.
There were several transactions of par vaJue
of $100,000. Dealings were well distributed,
but the Atchison, Union Pacific, Texas and
Pacific and Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf
Issues led in point of activity. Total sales,
$0,500,000. United States old 4s, registered,
are 14 higher, and the new 4s % bid higher.
Total sales of stocks today were 3")0,000
shares, including: 3,200 Atchison preferred,

The bonrd of prison managers met at the

exception of M. O. Hail, of Duluth, who is
in the South.
Owing to the illness of Judge Wlllist.on, of

which amount $3,037 was received from th>>
Union Shoe and Leather company for convict
labor and $1.4, 35S was received from coil* !

One of KrueK«T'» Investments.
President Krucge-r has once more shown
his keen eye for business. Four thousand
Irish donkeys were shipped at Waterford for
Durban, Insured at £10 each. Twelve hun
dred of them never reached the shores of
Africa at all, and of the remainder only an
Indigent minority were chosen by the Trans
vaal government. This occasioned much
heart burning and litgation between the con
tractor and the bank which had. advanced
money on the cargo, but President Krueger
had the best of them, and, with his well
known accuracy in making up a balance
sheet, he has, no doubt, secured an admira
ble bargain. But we should like to know
what those donkeys were for, and why from
Ireland. — London St. James Gazette.
