CHICAGO, Jan. 28.— Wheat today made the
best prices on this crop for cash, the Janu
nary option being bid up to $1.10, and clos
ing at $1.08. The top price was a cent above
the highest figure reached during the re
cent bulge in December. December sold up
to 98% c, after a weak opening, but closed
unchanged. Heavy Argentine shipments were
against the market at first, but later strong
foreign news and the usual "pushing" by
the Leitor people, sent prices soaring. Corn
and oats followed wheat and closed unchang
ed. Provisions declined 2*»@-sc.
It looked at the opening in wheat as If
the long-looked-for reaction was about to
take place. For the first time in two weeks
news really favored the bears, and a do
cline in prices at once ensued. May, which
closed yesterday at 97%@97i4c, opened today
et 96@9G%c, and July, in which option, how
ever, there was not much trading, opened
%@lc lower. There was plenty of selling
at those figures by heavy holders, and May
was down to 96e, and July to 85% c before
any support of consequence materialized.
Traders were somewhat staggered by the
weakness at Liverpool. That market opened
%@H4d higher, but a large slice of this ad
vance had been lost when 1:30 p. m. cables
came In. This weakness was explained by
Argentine shipments for the week — 864,000 bu.
This was more than twice as much as dur
ing the previous week. Northwest receipts
too were liberal. Minneapolis and Duluth re
ported 394 cars, against 358 last week and
194 a year ago. The impression caused by
the Argentine shipments and the Liverpool
decline lasted about half an hour, when a
covering movement resulted in an advance
in May to 9"Vie, when another spell of un
loading carried the price back to 96>4c. The
market then gradually recovered, but held
firm but dull at about 96% c for some time.
After midday the market began to develop
Borne of the bull snap of yesterday. The
principal reason for the renewal of bullish
energy was the strength shown by Ant
werp, when that market was heard from. It
■howed an advance equal to 2^o per bu for
American red, and l^c for Walla Walla.
Paris was a.so higher by about %c. The
next reason was the very heavy clearances
of wheat and flour for the day from Atlantic
ports. The latter amounted to 790,000 bu, in
cluding of 60,780 bbls of flour from Newport
News.
The strength first developed in May. Bids
for that delivery brought few responses and
prices slowly climbed until one of the Leiter
brokers commenced bidding for January in
an attempt to buy 70,000 bu. He succeeded
In getting but 20.CC0 bu of this amount, the
price in the meantime jumping with its
usually rapidity to $1.10, the highest point
yet reached for this season's crop. This also
created an active demand for May from all
quarters and the price soared to 98% c. At the
top price* immense quantities were offered
which the crowd took eagerly for a time, but
about ten minutes from the close the mar
ket broke under the pressure, May dropping
to 96% c and January to $1.08. That was the
closing price for January. May closed at
97% c, and July at b6%c.
Corn was easier with wheat at the start
and again strong when the latter showed its
midday bullishness. Trading was of moderate
volume, St. Louis and shorts leading the buy
ing. There was considerable realizing during
the morning. May ranged from 29% cto 29% c,
and closed a shade lower at 29%@29%c. Oats
were quite active. There was heavy buying
by shipping and commission houses, the sell
ing being principally by elevator Interests
and "longs." The export demand was very
urgent, and this and wheat were the con
trolling influences. May ranged from 24V&C
to 24c, and closed a shade higher at 24^4@
Provisions were fairly active, but became
dull later on in the session. Heavy hog re
ceipts and the weakness in wheat started
the market easy at the small declines. These
were speedily recovered under good support,
all offerings being readily absorbed, and the
market ruled steady until near the close,
When the reaction in wheat was reflected
in provisions and some decline ensued. At
the close. May pork was 5c lower at $10
May lard 2 ] ,4c lower at $4.90 and May ribs
6c lower at $4.92 I .A. Estimates for Saturday

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 28.— From the course
Of our market today it is evident that Mr.
Leiter did not get up quite so early this
morning as yesterday. This is either an over-
Bight of Mr. Leit«r or a lapse to ease for
■while he was Indulging in a morning 'nap
the enemy had crept in, the result being a
drop of IV4 cents for May wheat at the first
shot of the morning session. There was a
quick reaction, however, and by 10:30 a. m.
the entire loss had been recovered to be fol
lowed by another reaction of a half cent after
■Which the market, may be called strong but
not active. The news of the day was rather
meager, being confined largely to foreign ca
bles. There was much made of the Argentine
ehipments of 880,000 bushels for the week
which would probably meet the consumptive
requirements of Europe for two-fifths of one
day. California reports complain of a lack
of rain and that the position of the crop is
getting serious.
May wheat opened at 93% c against 94%@
•6c yesterday, advanced sharply to 94%@94%c
sold at 94 1 / 4@94%c, jumped to 94% c, declined
to 84Vic and by 11:50 a. m. held at 95c. July
wheat opened at 94c, being %c under yester
day, lost %c, firmed up to 94% c, lost %c and
by noon held at 95V4c.
The demand for cash wheat was good for
all grades. Offerings were fairly liberal, but
all well taken long before noon. Prices were
much mixed according to the fluctuations in
the May future. No. 1 northern sold mostly at
2 cents 'over May, but other grades were rel
atively better. Receipts here were 320 cars
and shipments out, 38 cars.
We have the same kind of a sequel to the
course of the market as experienced yester
day. A gentle squeeze by the clique. Liverpool
closing cables said that the advance today
had choked off millers. The outlook is that
they will recover and come In again at a
higher range. Clearances were about 797,000
bu. A lot of long wheat came out In
Chicago just before the close, causing the
slump. January wheat closed at 96V4c; May at
84%@94%c and July at 9414 c.

Cattle — Steady; there was proctically no
change in anything from yesterday; although
prices were lower, .except on good cows and
heifers, than at the beginning of the week,
although the market dragged, owing to the
light receipts and the shortage of buyers
on that account, a good clearance was made
at the close.

market locally. The print cloth market shows
continued gains in all counts. The sales of
the week have been quite heavy, both in ex

LINDSAY DENOUNCED.
Kentucky Senate Also Calls on Him
to, Resign.
LOUISVILLE, Jan, 28.— A special to
the Post from Frankfort, Ky., says-
The resolution requesting the Immediate
resignation of United States Senator
William Lindsay, came up in the Ken
tucky senate this morning, having been
passed yesterday by the house. The
resolution was also adopted by the sen
ate by a vote of 25 to 1 10, Senator John
son, of Clinton, beln£ the only Demo
crat voting against the resolution, and
only nine Republicans voting against.
The temperature of the senate chamber
was decidedly -warme* than that of the
bouse yesterday, when the resolution
came up, and ttot speeches were made
by Senators Bronstocf; Alexander, Jones
and others. Seiiator Charles J. Bron
ston, of Fayette, said that Lindsay
should be branded as a traitor; that all
might know him; that he did not repre
sent the Democratic party, nor any part
of it, and that if he was an honest man,
he would come home, resign and retire
to the shades of private life where his
treacherous course bad relegated him.
Senator Jones also made a strong
speech, arraigning Senator Lindsay's
course in the most severe terms. Great
enthusiasm was manifested when the
resolution was passed by euoh an over

ONLY ONE OF THE RECENT SPEC
ULATIVE FAVORITES TO HOLD
ITS OWN.
THE BULL EFFORTS DIVIDED.
STRUGGLE TO TAKE OLE PROFITS
AND SUPPORT THE LIST
AS WELL.
CAMPAIGN FAIRLY SUCCESSFUL.
Declines Not Sufficient to Uncover
Any Amount of Stop Loss
Orders— Bonds Active.
NEW YORK, Jan. 28.— Today's stock mar
ket showed signs of a struggle by the bulls
to sustain prices, while they were taking Eheir
profits. They were moderately successful,
and sold large blocks of the stock which have
been recent speculative favorites without pro
ducing any marked decline elsewhere In the
list. Northern Pacific pfd is the only one
of the recent favorites which showed a net
gain for today, but the declines in the others
were not sufficient to uncover any large
number of stop lose orders. The sharp gains
in special stock at different times during the
day was evidently due to manipulation for the
purpose of sustaining the general market.
This, together with the higher range of
prices reported from London this morning,
kept stocks well above last night's level
during the early part of the day, but the
closing showed an easy tone with prices
generally at the lowest. New York Central
was conspicuous under realizing pressure
after the opening, and closed 1% lower than
the day's high point. Kansas & Texas pfd
showed an extreme decline of 1% and Rock
Island one of a full point. Heaviness of the
granger • group was an additional factor in
the decline, the December statements of St.
Paul and Burlington, with the small increase
shown in net earnings, having an unfavorable
influence on the general list.
London sold, on balance in this market,
several thousand shares of stock, especially
of New York Central. This added to the
heavy tone to quite a marked extent. Still
another factor on the side of the reactionists
was the weakness in the anthracite group,
declines in some of its members reaching
a point. The local New York group added
the weight of its weakness to the burden of
the bulls. The sudden spurts of strength
shown by Northwest, Louisville, Denver pfd,
and a few other stocks, proved unavailing
to counteract the general lower tendency.
Exchange hardened for demand in response
to London's continued selling of storks here,
The announcement of the withdrawal of £10,0x>
in gold from the Bank of England for ship
ment to the United States was without any
effect here. Reports from London during the
earlier dealings here showed prices for
Americans higher, and the market quite ac
tive, the speech of the president last night
being assigned as the cause. The anticipa
tion of this speech has boen used for several
days by the bulls in Wall street, and the
realising today after its delivery was in its
accordance with the usual practice of pro
fessional traders.
The business in the bond market ontlnued
on a remarkably heavy scale and prices gen
erally are higher. There were single trans
actions in par values of $150,000, and $75,000
of the Union Pacific purchase certificates;

FOREIGX FINANCIAL.
NEW YORK, Jan. 28.— Evening Post's Lon
don financial cablegram: The stock mar
kets here were irregular today. Americans
and Argentines were buoyant, but other se
curities were idle to dull. There was more
general dealing here in Americans than
since the rise began. At the same time as
a natural result, the buying was somewhat
ragged. A setback for a short time was fol
lowed finally by a rally to near the best.
Thero has been a sharp rise in rupee paper
on reports that the gold standard in India
was imminent. The best Informed disregard
these reports and the soundest monometal
lißts doubt the wisdom of such a change at
present.
