TOOK ANOTHER SLUMP SOMEWHAT OF A PAJfICKY FEEL ING DEVEIjOPED IN THE CHI CAGO WHEAT PIT HOLDERS WERE ALARMED Made Frantic Efforts to Sell, and as ■i H«-»ut< the Active Option Lost lUore Tlmn a Cent—There Was No Check to the Donnwaiil Move ment Once It Was Inaugurated— Corn Ruled Steady Throughout. Prey. . Close, day. May wheat, Minneapolis 62%-% 64% May wheat, Chicago 65%-% 66% May wheat, New York 71% 73 May wheat, Duluth 64% 66V* CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-Frantic efforts to dispose of holdings on the board of trade greeted Eradstreefs announcement of a heavy increase in the world's visible to day. May wheat declined l%c without check and closed weak, 1%3-I%c under yesterday. Corn closed a shade higher, and oats unchanged. Provisions, affected by the wheat break and heavy realizing, closefi weak, May pork 12%@15c, May lard 121/j.c and May ribs 7%<§loc lower. Two days' business—or lack of it—has cost May wheat 2%Q2%c on the local board of trade. The slump of yesterday received new impetus today from the in crease in the visible of 4,040,000. A mod erate increase would have occasioned lit tle agitation, but the magnitude of the week's gain announced by Bradstreefs about noon had a bomb-like effect in chattering bull expectations. The market had opened rather heavy, in sympathy with Liverpool decline, May opened at 66%ff{6G%c. Foreign houses and a few locals sold moderately, and some wheat had come cut on stop orders. The^e offerings had been well taken and at the decline the market steadied and advanc ed, possibly in sympathy with corn. May had touched 66% c. Business up to noon had been quiet. Then came the explosion from Bradstreefs. Holders joined the crowd of sellers, adding concession to concession to rid themselves of an arti cle the supply of which was evidently so much greater than the demand. The close was at the bottom, May 1%@1%C under yesterday at 651,4(§65%c. It was explained that the unexpected magnitude of the increase in the visible was due to a correction of Odessa's stocks. Primary receipts were o55.00") bushels, against 635,000 last year. Minne apolis and Duluth reported 296 cars, com pared with 365 last week, and 4SS a year ago. Receipts here were 32 cars, none of which graded contract. Clearances were only 170 bushels. Seaboard exports of wheat were 608,000 bushels. New York reported 15 loads taken for export. Corn was steady throughout the session, and the close, in view of the wheat break, fairly firm. Trade was l'airly active the greater part of the session. Supporting influences were light receipts, small coun try offerings, and the announcement that the government report, which was ex pected to be bearish, will not be issued this month. Corn that had been let out on this expectation was taken in again, occasioning an advance, which, however, was lost later, in sympathy with the wheat break. Local receipts, 4!.»1 cars. Cash business amounting to 3r0,(0J bushel? was done late yesterday. May solJ fro;n 83iic to 33% c, closing a shade over yes teniay at 33 1,i'&33%c. Oats dragged, but were fairly steady with corn. Receipts here were 316 cars and clearances 119.000 bushels. May rang ed from 237/ a c to 2-}%c, closing unchanged at 27% c. The provisions market was irregular, with the tone easy most of the time on heavy realizing, the receipts of hogs over the estimates weakened prices at the yards. Predictions of future liberal receipts were freely made. May pork ranged from $10.96 to $11.10011.l'^i. a"d closed 12V-<slsc under yesterday at $10.95.

DIKING TUB DAY DULLNESS SEEMS GENERAL Other Speculative Centers Ontnldc New York Shared in the Geneirnl Depression — Money ('outfit lons Continue Easy—Market, However, Is Absolutely LUtlews—Bond Deal- Ings Showed Increase. Prey. Close. Day. Bar silver, New York 59% 59% Call money, New York 3% 3% NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Professional op erations In stocks fell away considerably today, and as there is no other interest in the market the dealings made further progress towards a condition of stagna tion. There was some slight speculation in Sugar, Tobacco and the local trac tions, but this represented little more than "swapping jack knives" among the board room traders, as may be judged from the day's small net.changes. These speculative favorites are higher on the day after various fluctuations. There is no better explanation of their having gone up than that they went down yes terday. There was evidence on the part of shorts to cover in Tobacco, which pulled it up shortly In the late dealing and the rest of the market with it. It was emphatically a waiting market, and was by no means clear what It was waitine for. The fact that the dullness was shared by the other, great speculative centers of the world gives point to the supposi tion that the development of conditions in South Africa is what is awaited. Money conditions continue to make progress towards greater ease all over the world, without the slightest effect on speculation. A period of stagnation after so drastic liquidation as that of last month is by no means unique or ab normal, without counting the South Af rican situation. It is very generally be lieved that a British success there would cause a sharp rally in prices, if for no other reason than from the covering made by,the bears, who have sold the market in a spirit of skepticism over any early change In the situation. It would be necessary* to go back two years to the time of uncertainty preced ing our war with Spain to find a parallel for the absolute listless or apparent waiting which are the characteristics of the current stock market. Rates for time money were shaded below 5 per cent on choice collateral, under the influence of the large accumulation of reserves, which Is coming into the New York banks. Dealings in bonds were on a larger scale than those in stocks and prices were more firmly held. Occasional large individual transactions reflect the con tinued flow of capital Into fixed invest ments. Total sales, par vahie, $1,565,000.

Holbert & Son, bankers and brokers, 341 Robert street, National German-American Bank building, St. Paul. Strong, Sturgis & Co. wire us: "We have nothing of much in terest to report, and market gives no evi dence of material change or fluctuation. The gossip had with reference to the State Trust company is dying cut. and with the evidence turnished of strength and solvency the attacks are at an end. It is probable that the episode has left some unpleasant impressions, but we are not disposed to think that they will be last ing. The selling has been mainly of a local character, as evidenced by the re duced volume of the commission business and the activity of certain operators upon the floor of the exchange. We have a trader's market, and we are not going to have any very decided change, in our opinion, until news of a decisive nature comes from South Africa. We look for a better market during February ana March, unless British reverses occur and turn the tide." Bartlett, Frazier & Co., Chicago, tele graphed the following to Edwards & Bedell, stock brokers and commission merchants, 110 Endioott Arcade, St. Paul, Minn.: Wortley—"There seems to be a little covering going on, and, as there is j no pressure to sell, the market goes up rather easily. Wormser bought 1.000. Sell ing scattered, largely by traders. Mar ket very dull, with pronounced weakness in local traction stocks. The selling of Metropolitan thought to be liquidation to a large extent." Morse—"This Is the dull est market of tho season. There has been no interest In any quarter, and every one seems to be waiting for foreign newa. I have heard a Tumor of some British re verses f:Om two sources, and the arbitrage housss have been to!d not to lr»ry stocks, as there is no market in London. The buying power In the market has been very small, but the supply of stocks offering Is also light. The market would mo&e, sharply either way on foreign new?," but the uncertainty of the Sugar dividend will make any rise of moderate proportions. On the curb today theTe Is some sign or liquidation in Whitney syndicate stock." B. F. & Co.—"The annual meeMng of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad will be held in Baltimore tomorrow, and the annual report will be rendered. It Is expected that Pennsylvania representatives will bo admitted to the board of directors, and that action will be taken on a merger of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern" Van Schaick—"Tfiink market sill hangs on the turn of affairs in the Transvaal but if stocks go off would buy for a turn." B. F. & Co.—"Chainaan Gates, of the American Steel and Wire company, says: 'Our company has not to exceed 400 men in the Cleveland district asking for an advance of 10 per cent. These men will probably cause us to suspend opera tions in three rod mills, and possibly three wbe mills ' " FOREIGN FINANCIAL—New York Jan. 16.—The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says: The markets here were idle aiid featureless pending the breaking of Gen. Buller's mysterious silence. The tone was firm. Americans were stagnant and the slight est disposition to buy In them told oh prices, owing to the scarcity of stock An illustration was afforded by the spurt of % of a point in Norfolk & Western pre ferred on the purchase of a few hundred shares.

RIO JANEIRO, Jan. 16.—Over 20,000 drivers of all kinds of vehicles went on strike yesterday. A small faction or Monarchists, headed by Cure Presto, a brother of Carlos Alfonso, and Malvlno Reie, attempted to take advantage of the situation. Numerous groups attack ed different points, tearing up the street car rails and doing other damv age. Several thousand rioters in front of the president* palace raised cries of "Long live the "Death to the Republic." A. small force of cavalry dispersed the rioters with difficulty. The city today has appearance of mar tial law having", been proclaimed. The horse cars and other vehicles are partly working. The ppliqe, during the first hours of the disturbance, were extremely weak and ineffiofenj:, but were reinforc ed by regular troops, especially cavalry, and order was re-established promptly.

MIDWAY HORSE MARKET—Minne sota Transfer, St. Paul—Barrett & Z'm merraan's report: The advanced prices on good heavy farm horses since a year ago is checking the trade considerable on the wholesale market. The dealers of North Dakota and Manitoba are not fully aware of the high country prices on horses and a little time will elapse before the real situation of the present values of horses will be observed by buyers. Demand for logging horses was of an urgent nature, but as the trade on such horses will be of a short duration, and the supplies of that class of horses are large, prices had a dropping tend3ncy. ffifeTcholce : »00|H0 Drafters, common to good wo w-i Farm horses, choice ■• *5® liS Farm horses, common to good — 4O(g> to CHICAGO, Jan. 16.—Cattle—Choice cat tle steady; others slow; weak; Texans steady; top sales, $4.90; good butchers and stockers steady; inferior weak; calves a shade lower; feeders quiet; good tp choice $5.3i<&6.40; poor to medium, $4.50@5; mixed stookers. $3.25#3.55; selected feeders, $4.2j @4 75- good choice cows, $3.50^1.60; heifers, $340#4 75; canners, $2.25@3; bulls $2.00@ 1:60; calves. $4.50@4.70; fed Texas beeves, $4 10@5.25.

The home trade absorbed the bulk of greasy, and sllpes ruled in buyers' favor, with lower; ™ quantities occasionally selling at 5 pee cent decline. Cape of Good Hope an(t Natal greasy was In large supply, and showed a decline of 6 per cent, although most of this class was withdrawn. Thd prices realized for scoureds showed lit-' >, tie change.
