CHICAGO. Jan. 18.— For the third day in
succession wheat was influenced almost en
tirely by Liverpool. The sharp advance in
that market as a result of unfavorable Argen- 1
tine and India news caused an opening ad- 1
vancc here of %c in May. and that advance j
•was also shown at the close. A feature was ;
the buying of July by the bull clique brokers
and an advance of %c in that option. Corn
and oats were dull and a shade lower. Pro
visions made small advance and had the
best trade in a week.
Wheat got a good send-off from the early J
csble news. May was- warned at from 91% C
to 91c at the opening, against 90%(H91c at
the close of the previous day. The Liverpool
quotations were advanced %d per cental
over night, and the reason given for it com
prised several items of considerable impor
tance. The poorer crop prospects in India
were mentioned as the chief item. Heavy
rains in Argentina were reported to be un
favorable for wheat, and the continent was !
Baid to be takeing the arrived cargoes off j
coast in the United Kingdom. London car. i
goes on passage and off coast, 3@4d higher.
The only discord in the foreign music was
thai Paris reported 5 centimes reduction in
the price of flour and 10 centimes in wheat.
Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 350
cars, against 366 the week before, and 26S j
the similar day of 1897. Chicago got 62 cars, I
two of which were contract. Advices from the \
Northwest were to ;he effect that with splen
did roads farmers were delivering very little
and country elevators were being gradually ;
emptied by inducements being offered in the I
way of premiums for cash wheat over fu
tures. Considerable activity was imparted to
the dealings in July by the buying of that
future by Allen-Greer against sales for May.
The operation was supposed to represent the
taking in of spreads for a group of St. Louis '
speculators. July opened at Sic and was ad- j
vanced to S2%c by the undoing of the St. j
Louis spreads, and May, which did not get
above 91%@91\c, dropped back to 91 %c,
while July was making the rise. Bradstreet's '
report of the world's visible made a decrease
of I Q.V.'Ki bu In stn<.v s east ot tne Kocfcjes
and 300,000 bu decrease in and afloat for
Europe. The reduction on the corresponding
day week of last year was 4,000,000 bu. The
market weakned on that showing of small i
reduction in Europe, notwithstanding the
diminishing world's shipments during the last
few weeks The Liverpool market closed
with some of its early advance wiped out,
and that also helped to undo the bullish sen
timent that had ruled the proceedings up to
12 o'clock. Primary market receipts were 346,
--670 bu, against 205,383 bu the year before.
Atlantic seaboard clearances of wheat and
flour were equal to 427,000 bu. July sold at
82% cat the close, and May, after dropping
to 9i,f4c, rallied and closed at 91%<&91%e.
Corn was dull and prices late in the day
were inclined to drag. The market early
was firm at a slight advance, due princi
pally to sympathy with wheat. The exceed
ingly light business and the big visible in
crease, 2.287,000 bu. caused some decline and
the market closed weak. New York reported
a fair shipping demand. May ranged from
%£r£< 2S%<S ' 2 * %c - and closed c lower, at
283ifi2^%c. Oats kept within a very nar
row range. The market was firm during the
early part of the session, but reacted later
and closed easy. Sympathy with wheat and
the visible increase of 769,0fX) bu were factors
Elevator people were fair buyers of May'
Mafcy ranged from 23?4@'23%c to 23% c and
closed a shade lower at 28%e
A good trade was done in provisions, espe
cially during the morning. A small run of
bogs encouraged buyers, and the higher open
ing prices caused covering by heavy shorts
Packers were good buyers. There was some
flecline from the high points on' realizing
but the close was steady. May pork BflffuTc

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 18.— A little higher
price level and then a standstill for the sel
aion about represents the situation as i it
was today There was an unexpected spur
in July wheat which brought in July shorts
and narrowed the May-July difference a half
cent This had effect on May, aSd on the
opening, or directly after, the' price locally
was %c higher than yesterday's close The
news was generally favorable to the bull's
The market generally was bare of any new
feature. Local sentiment is less bearish in
View of the strength shown by wheat The
predicted breaks do not appear and instead
there is a firm tendency, with very narrow >
market, however.
May wheat opened at 90c and advanced
to 50m7?00%r\ dropping back to 90c again
and closing at 90% c, against 89%f>89%c yes
terday and 77\4c a year ago. July wheat
opmed at 88% c. Fold at SS% C and closed at
SS?i?. against 88%@8SV4c yesterday and 78% c
a year ago.
The firmer tone of the future wheat mar
hot brought out good tone in the cash mar
ket. No. 1 northern sold at a premium of
Sc over May, and fancy cars at 2%@3%c over.
Ottiiiifs of No. 1 northern to arrive were
lighter than the demand. A buyer for one
of the large milling firms said he would take
150,000 bu of good No. 1 northern to arrive
at 2c over May. A few sales were made
on this basis. No. 2 northern was in moder
ate demand at 2%@3c under May. Sales of
No. 3 wheat were occasionally made at 6®
6%e under May, the supply being somewhat
heavier than the demand. Low grades were
inclined to drag. Outside of the demand
from mixers little was sold.

MINNEAPOLIS MARKET.
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 18.— Butter mled
steady at prices unchanged from yesterday
with the exception of roll and print, which
is %c lower. The demand for creamery ex
tras from retailers is of good proportion and
although the jobbing call is light, sellers are
disposing of the bulk of the arrivals without
much delay. Firsts and seconds in creamer
ies are in rather heavy supply, while the
demand is moderate. Dairy extras are mov
ing well at quotations, with but few coming
in. The call for medium and low grade dair
ies is light and stocks show some accumula
tion. Roll and print is weaker and %c lower.
Ladles are moving moderately well. Packing
stock is steady. Strictly fresh eggs are in
light receipt, while the call from retailers Is
sufficient to absorb all coming in. Jobbing de
mand is light. Freeh held eggs rule slow.
Storage stock is in moderate demand.

SLAUGHTER STOCKS
SHARES THAT HAVE PROFITED BY
RECENT APPRECIATION HURT
THE WORST.
THE RUMOR MONGERS ACTIVE.
REALIZING LENT ITS ASSISTANCE
TO THE RAID BY THE
BEARS.
A MARKED CHANGE IN THE TONE.
Early Trading, In Part Manipula
tive, Indicated an Undertone of
Strength In the List.
NEW YORK, Jan. 18.— Prices were slaught
ered in the afternoon trading on the stock
exchange today, especially those properties,
including local traction lines, which were
most benefitted by the market's buoyancy
yesterday. Prices o-pened with fractional ap
preciations in sympathy with London, which
traded moderately both ways, but buying
slightly more than they sold. Large opera
tors were not very active in the local market
until the last trading. There appeared to be
a general undertone of strength in the early
transactions, but the temper gradually changed
and rumor mongers were- not idle. Among
other efforts to depress the market there was
circulated an unfounded story that the L'ni:
ed States minister to Spain had sought the
protection of the British cmabssy at Madrid.
Realizations of profits by large interests aid
ed the bar rail, uncovering sto-p loss orders,
and the market closed at or near the lowest
and very weak. Manhattan Elevated and
Metropolitan Street Railway ad van -ed early
on manipulation, but the interests that
engineered the advance in these securities
seemed later to have changed their position.
Sales under the rule today for the arccuut of
the brokors, who suspended yesterday, de
pressed Brooklyn Rapid Transi:, Cleveland,
Lorain & Wheeling, and Tennessee Coal &
Iron and some of the grangers.
The senate finance committee's approval
of the resolution declaring for the payment
of government bonds in either gold or silver
was used by traders as a bear card. The
resolution presented in the house in the
form of an amendment for the recognition of
Cuban belligerency was not known until near
the closing hour. In the general list, the
decline from the high point ranged from 1
to 2 points, but the net losses in nio-st cases
were fractional. The net losses over a point
were as follows: Burlington. 1%; Manhat
tan, 1%; Michigan Central, 1* ; Mobile &
Ohio, 1%; New Jersey Central, I*4; New
York, Chicago & St. Louis, second preferred,
2; P. C, C. & St. L. pfd, 1%; Tennessee
Coal & Iron, 1%. Among the gains were:
American Spirits pfd, 1: Denver & Rio Grande
pfd, 1, and National Starch, Ist pfd, 5. Easy
money and favorable statements of railway
earnings had little influence on prices.
The bond market was well held, despite
the heavy liquidation in the stock market.
In the issues which have been conspicuous in
the dealings of late continued to vibrate
violently. Total sales, $3,840,000.
Government bonds showed some hesitancy
with quotations for the fives shaded.

FOREIGN FINANCIAL.
NEW YORK. Jan. 18.— Evening Post's Lon
don financial cablegram: Sir Michael Hicks-
Beach's speech at Swansea last night, declar
ing that England would have her rights in
China, even at the cost of war, although ap
proved here, had some effect in checking the
market acti\ity, and, except for Grand j
Trunks and Americans, prices for all stocks, !
including consols, were generally lower. The j
markets, especially mines, were also ad- I
! versely affected by the Paris flatness. Amer
icans, after a period of firmness, closed duller.
I Germany again bought Northern Pacific but !
1 sold Canadian Pacific. New York absorbed I
: New York Central. Grand Trunks were boom
j Ing on largely increased business. I under
! stand that Illinois Central bonds have gone
well. The Paris bourse was flat on the anti-
Semite riots. The Berlin market was steady.
I have reason to believe that the Bank of Ger
many may lower the rate of discount tomor
row to 4 per cent. I believe that the finan
cial position in Vienna is far from satis
factory. There was released from the bank
today £250,000 Japanese money.

Contest for the Control of the Seat
tie & KaMi-rn.
NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-The contest
! for the control of the Seattle, Lake
; bnore & Eastern railway bonds, now in '
progress in Wall street, is the sharpest I
fight of the kind that has occurred in '<
several years In the financial district.
That neither side is confident of its po
sition, is made apparent by the very
sharp advance that has already tak-ii
place in tht price of the certificates.
In two years the certificates have re
mained dormant in investors' homes
without income, and with little or no
value, beyond what the distant future
mig-ht have for them. A week ago Sac
urday they sold at 45, while yesterday
they changed hands as high as 72 al
though the last sale of the day was at
The secret of the present value of the
certificates i B found in the terms of the
reorganization of the old Seattle, Lake
Shore & Eastern road in 1896.' The
road had been constructed by the
Northern Pacific, through a guaranty
of its bonds, but, when the Northern
Pacific itself became insolvent, its
gvaranty was worthless. A receiver
ship of the Seattle road followed, and, ■
in the reorganization its properties •
and franchises were divided up between i
new corporations— the Seattle & Inter- '■
national and the Spokane & Seattle, it
was provided, however, that, should
the trustees of the stocks and bonds
of the two new corporations wish to i
sell, lease or consolidate the roads, they
should first secure the assent of 60 per
cent of the certificates representing the !
old Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern
bonds, which were deposited with the j
Manhattan Trust company, at the time I
of the reorganization.
It is the certificates issued on the de
posit of the bonds which are now in de
mand.
In view of the discovery of gold in
Alaska, and the Yukon country, traffic
between Seattle and the north is ex
pected to be large, and the Canadian
Pacific apparently recognizes the ad
vantage which would accrue to it
through the control of the Seattle &
International, which runs almost
straight north from Seattle to Sumas,
where it connects with the Canadian
Pacific.
The agents of the Canadian Pacific I
have been at work quietly for ten days
or more gathering in consents, but so
far as can be learned they have not
succeeded to any very great extent.
