CHICAGO, Jan. 15.—A formidable array
of bearish statistics and news and lack
of demand gave wheat another shove on
Its way downward today, May closing lc
under Saturday. Corn closed %@%c and
oats %c lower. Provisions closed 2 J,i@ioc
higher.
Liquidation ruled In the wheat pit
throughout a session which brought noth
ing but gloom for such bull hopes as may
have survived recent reverses. There
was a little demand against puts, but its
steadying influence very close to the bot
tom was only momentary. Throughout
there was selling of long wheat and of
les-ser lines, not large In volume, but too
heavy for the .Invalid market. Trading
was dull and the tone heavy as lead.
Early news showed a decline at Liver,
pool, an increase in world's shipments,
and in the amount on ocean passage.
■May wheat thus influenced, opened %@'M:c
under Saturday at 67%@C7%ci. This was
high point for the day. The close was at
the bottom, May lc under Saturday at
tiß'^c, lator news being as bearish in tone
as that received earlier.
Receipts were large and clearances
small, while a Liverpool cable announced
the Argentine wheat was for sale in the
English markets at prices under Ameri
can offerings. Primary receipts were 796,
--060 against 917,000 last year. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported 717 cars, compared
with 506 last week, ?>nd 786 a year ago.
Local receipts were 71 cars, one of con
tract grade. Clearances were 138,000.
New York reported 35 loads taken for
export.
Taking into consideration the slump in
wheat, the corn market exhibited con
siderable independence. Sympathy with
the major market combined with ieceipt?
here of 72 cars over the estimate-resulted
in a fractional loss. The expectation of
a bearish government report exerted
some downward pressure, but the worst
which can be paid of the market is that
It. is easy. Light country offerings aa
usual were the chief support. Local bulls
wtre the best sellers. Some purchases
were made by the provisions people.
Trade was quiet. The local stock in
creased 645,000 bu. Receipts here were
447 cars. May ranged from 33% cto 33V,jC,
closing %(§Vac down at 33% c.
In the oats market the feeling was
easier with wheat and corn, the volume
of business small and .the demand scat
tered. Some liquidation was actuated by
four of a bearish government report.
Local receipts were 219 cars. May sold
from 23% cto 24c, closing %c depressed at
23 fee.
The provisions market, after exhibiting
some tendency to weaken, turned strong
and closed firm, at an advance. Initial
figures showed small gains from Satur
day, the result of hog receipts under
the estimate and better prices at the
yards. Outside selling influenced by the
weakness of wheat, and some profit-tak
ing by local longs, resulted in a decline
of s<a7 I,i>c.1,i>c. The demand was good, sorno
of it from exporting people, and holders
were chary about selling at the reduced
figures, in consequence of which the mar
ket held steady. Late in the session an
influential concern purchased 15,000 tierces
of lard. On the strength of this, the
whole list went up. May pork sold from
H0.97% to $11.17%. and closed 7%@10c over
Saturday, at $11.12%<§-11.15; May lard from
$6.06 to $Cl 5, with the close at $0.15, and
Mt.y ribs from $5.80 to $5.90, closing at
$5.87%&5.<J0.
Estimates tomorrow: Wheat, 45 cars;
corn, 510 cars; oats, 330 cars; hogs, 36,000
head.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—Except where a
stock was under the Influence of particu
lar causes the market today was almost
at a standstill. No outside Interest was
manifested, and operations were entirely
in the hands of professional board room
traders. Individual causes which affected
special stocks were for the most part de
pressing ones, and the tone of the gen
eral market was towards lower prices.
The most conspicuous movement of the
day was in Metropolitan Street Railway,
which was affected by the reported con
dition of a prominent trust company.
This publication served to explain Vast
week's depression in Metropolitan and a
group of industrials, and served also to
renew it. Metropolitan, Brooklyn Tran
sit and the Tobacco stocks were all af
fected. Metropolitan fell an extreme 6>,4.
An announcement of the bidders for the
New York rapid transit tunnel contract
rallied the stock slightly above the last
night's level on the belief that Metro
politan interests were concerned in the
bidding.
An example of the kind of motives that
influenced trading was that assigned for
the buying of Sugar. One of the large
selling orders cam^ from a brokerage
house which handles money loans for
the American Sugar Refining company.
The traders argued that open selling by
insiders indicated a desire to induce sell
ing by others, upon which sapient con
clusion they bought Sugar.
London seemed to take a cheerful view
of the military developments In South
Africa, but with little effect in this mar
ket. Reports of a strike depressed Amer
ican Steel and Wire and some other metal
stocks by sympathy.
The money market continued to work
easier under the influence of continued
gains from, the interior and from the
subtreasury. Time money was readily
obtained at 5 per cent on railroad stocks.
Call 1 loans were in small demand at 'iVz to
4^ per cent. The increasing supply of
loanable funds seems to offer no incite
ment to speculation.
Last week's sales of stocks were 2,6b4,
--071 shares. In. the corresponding week
of la«t year there were sold 5,830,WU
shares. Last week's sates of railroad
bonds were of a par value of $8,583,000.
Jn the corresponding week last year they
were of a par value of $32,343,000. But,
as it 1-= aptly observed, easy money does
not mean easy borrowing. Money lenders
and capitalists, as well as speculators, suf
fered from the collapse in values in the
December smash, and there are many se
curities upon which no loans can be ne
gotiated. The prevalent dullness of spec
ulation may be attributed to that wis
dom which even the burnt child is pro
verbially said to attain by experience.
There were some heavy individual trans
actions in bonds and tho market was
mainly firm, but there were sufficient de
clines to give it an irregular appearance.
Total -alls, par value, $1,615,000. United
States 5s and old 4s regular advanced %,

WALL STREET GOSSIP—New York
stock gossip, reported by H. Holbert &
Son, bankers and brokers, 341 Robert
street, National German-American Bank
building, St. Paul—Strong, Sturgis & Co.
wire us: "We anticipated that we might
see evidence of considerable weakness in
the stock market today owing to the per
sistent attacks made upon a quite prom
inent trust company and all the ramlflca- i
tions connected therewith, but we are
happy to say that while the market has
shown no particular degree of strength
except in a few cases, the general tone
has been one of steadiness. There is really
nothing we can say to you about the
speculative situation. It Is a waiting
market with traders scalping and playing
for turns. We are inclined to think that
we shall see a better range of prices for
some stocks here and very considerably
I better should we get any favorable Eu
ropean news, because a rally is due in the
market. Meanwhile as far as the com
mission business goes it is practically at
a standstill and we hesitate to advise our
customers to do anything while so much
uncertainty as to the future exists."
Bartlett, Frazier & Co., Chicago, tele
! graphed the following to Edwards &
Bedell, stock brokers and commission
merchants, 110 Endicott Arcade, St. Paul,
Minn.—Dow Jones: "The directors of
Tennessee Coal & Iron are expected to
take action in regard to a distribution of
the profits earned during the year 1898
very soon after the completion of the ac
counts of that year. The surplus after
fixed charges of the net" earnings for 1899
will be approximately $1,400,000, while for
I 1898 it was about $253,000." J. W. Davis:
I "The decline in wire is flue to rumors of
i"a kes amon" employes." J. W. Duvis:
I Sugar is without support except from
! shorts and hurts w-hole market " J W
j Davis: "The buying of Sugar Is consid
ered better than the selling."—Adams-
I it Is stated that both bids on Rapid
j Transit system are in the interests of
Metropolitan Traction company."
Wortley: "Market looks as if it hail been
sold to a standstill, stocks are not coming
I out and any endeavor to cover would
j cause a very sharp rally. Wormser
bought Metropolitan." Hudson: "We
believe in advances in Sugar and believe
in selling only on good advances." ■
