CHICAGO, Jan. 3.—lrresponsive cables
were a depressing factor in the wheat
market today, May closing %@%c under
yesterday. Corn ci'osed %c, and oats a
ishade lower. Provisions, affected by
heavy hog receipts and persistent profit
taking closed under yesterday, May pork
12% c, May lard 10c and May ribs 6@7%c
lower.
May wheat opened Vie under yesterday
at ?oe, a loss attributed to the irrespons
ive attitude of the Liverpool market,
Which, receiving free offerings of arriv
ing cargoes from Argentina, ignored tho
advance or %<&% c here yesterday. Trade
Was dull throughout the session and the
Volume of business light; The, break was
checked temporarily on Bradstreefs an
nouncement of a decrease in the visible
Of 1,141,000 bu, and the small primary re
ceipts, May advancing to 70% c. The
general lack of demand and selling or
ders from London drew away the sup
port later, ar.d the market slumped un
der puts, May to 89% c. The close was %@
lower at 69%®697fcC the market having
reacted a bit on buying against privileges
and scattered covering by shorts.
Primary receipts were 382,000 bu, against
f.97,000 bu the corresponding day last year.
Local receipts for two days were 118 cars,
none of which was graded contract. Min
neapolis and Duluth reported 261 cars,
compared with 320 last week, and 584 a
year ago. New York reported 250 loads
taken for export. Seaboard clearances
were 480,000 bu.
Corn was fairly steady in the face of
the break in the wheat and provisions
market. Liberal receipts and reports of
freer country offerings this side the Mis
sissippi had a depressing tendency. Liqui
dation was generaly early, though not
large. The firmness of Liverpool for spot
and rumors of an urgent export demand,
pome good sales for shipment and the re
ports that country stocks are very light
had a steadying influence, and later in
the session many early sellers became
buyers. Receipts for trro days, 1,021 cars.
Clearances, 69U.000 hu. May ranged from
BS@33^c to 33% c, closing %c under yester
day at 33 J/fec.
Oats were steadied by export sales.
400,000 bu being reported by some people.
Cash people were buyers of future. The
market was rather dull. Receipts, 408
cars. May ranged 23%(fr24c to 24% c, and
closed a shade down at 23%@24c.
Provisions were generally weak, but
barely steady at the decline. The influ
ences were large hog receipts and lower
prices at the yard. This influenced con
siderable heavy realizing and the mar
ket declined in consequence. May option
closed: Pork, 12% c down at $10.65; May
lard, *C.90. 10c lower; ribs, 5<&7%c down at
$5.65. At times the market was fairly ac
tive, but the volume of business was not
as large as yesterday.
Estimates tomorrow: Wheat, 45 cars;
corn, blO cars; oats, 175 cars; hogs, 41,000

NEW YORK, Jan. B.—The stock mar
ket was unable today to resist the fac
tors working towards reaction, and clos
ed at losses both for specialties and In
the railroads, running from 1 to 3 points.
Depression was manifest from the open
ing, in sympathy with early declines in
the London market, but the downward
tendency was resisted. A number of the
Industrial stocks advanced in a some
what excited manner in the lirst hour,
and Induced a sympathetic hardening of
prices all through the list. Consolidated
Gas jumped 8 points on the report of
absorption of an electric lighting com
pany and Incidental advantages in the
local gas war. American Tobacco rose
an extreme 5 points, and the Continental
Tobaccos were strong. Sugar showed a
disposition to continue its advance, and
some of the iron and steel stocks main
tained yesterday's show of strength in the
group. Later In the day there was a
vigorous upward movement in New York
Central, with a slight sympathetic re
sponse in other Vandeibllt stocks. The
isolated points of strength in the mar
ket, however, proved entirely insuffi
cient to maintain prices In the face of
the constant dribbling of sales for for
eign account, and those for local ac
count, ' Which were sentimentally influ
enced by the weakness abroad.
A rumor circulated that Ladysmith had
capitulated to the Boers. The effect was
significant of what may be expected
from the security market in case of fur
ther reverses to the British arms in South
Africa, for traders who were iong of
stock hastened to take their profits In
face of the possibility involved.
The later news of the day made It clear
that the real source of the day's weak
ness was Berlin. Selling from that cen
ter in London and of American securities
in New York was on a very large scale.
It was based on the weekly return of the
German Imperial bank, which showed a
loss of &10,500,0G0 in cash, a loan ex
pansion In face of this drain of $12,800,000,
and an addition to the notes in circula
tion of upwards of ♦39,000.000, was an ex
hibit of pressure for credits in Germany
which served rather to startle tho finan
cial world. The effect was not apparent,
however, in the Berlin discount market,
and sterling exchange advanced at Ber
lin in spite of a further decline in Inter
est rates In London. Berlin exchange
in New York, however, rose a sharp frac
tion.
Those stocks which were strongest yes
terday did not entirely lose their gains
of yesterday, but in the case of the Balti
more & Ohio 9tocks, the Pacifies and a
number of Southern stocks, large inroads
were made upon values. Conditions in the
local money market were undisturbed.
The bond market showed a yielding
tendency in sympathy with stocks. Total
sales, par value, $1,973,000. United States
new 4s registered advanced 9», and United
States new 4s coupons %; the 3s and old
4s y* in the bid price.

wire us: 'This market opened with a
good speculative demand, and prices
would probably have remained firm but
for the rumors that came of further re
r.cenr a Ses ™lhe Britlsh forces In South Af
h,??' M Thls, not onl^ checked the buying,
but caused a good, many sales. of Ion?
stock by parties wha-were ab!e to lighten
their load without loss. It has to our
!£» I s « X a PPearances natural to a
market that has first suffered a eeriouj
decline, and then enjoyed too rapid and
prom scuous a recovery. We see nothing
In all this to Intimidate the holders of
good securities, but, on the contrary re
g«,,these reactions as inevitable," and
affording excellent opportunities for pur
chases. We have had our liquidation here
and largely in London, and while money
must needs continue active, no one now
should be forced to sell. The buying- has
been recently of the best, and' a vast
amount 01' good stocks have left Wall
street, probably not to return. Thia is
certain to have a most healthy influence
and buying Is judicious of New" York Cen
tral, which is earning 11 per cent, Oi'
Union Pacific and Atch'son preferred, and
also of the good steel shares."
Bartlett, Frazier & Co., of Chicago, tel
egraphed the following to Edwards & Be
dell, stock brokers and commission mer
chants, 110 Endtaott Arcade, St. Paul
Minn.—Hudson: "There is a splendid op
portunity to take profits. You will never
get poor doing so."-^—B., F. & Co.: "The
general London market closed steady.
Consols 1-16 easier for money. Amer
icans firm, with one or two exceptions
Mining market inactive, but steady." -
Morse: "Foreign sales and the absentee
of good buying power in the industrials
made the market feverish, and at times,
weak, this morning. It was not a mar
ket to encourage investment buying, and
the average outsider seemed anxious to
get his profits. The advance in Consoli
dated Gas. Tobac'cd and Leather did not
generally improve the general tone. The
market has, however,'been benefited by
th execution of stop orders and the
stocks of all the Vanderbilts is a good
sign. The railroad list, ought to rally be
fore the close. 'IJhere "was an unconfirm
ed rumor that there had been a bad Brit
ish repulse." Dow Jones: "We are in
formed that the Consolidated Gas com
pany has secured control of the New
York Gas and Electric Light, Heat and
Power company." Wortley: "Traders
sold in the market on the story that
Ladysmith had fallen and the room was
Inclined to believe the story, because Lon
don was a heavy seller, nutting out about
30,003 shares. London nouses say they
know noth'ner about the story of the fall
of Ladysmith."
