6 FINANCE AND TRADE, Stocks Irregular, Feverish, and Uncer- tain—Operators Bearish by 8 Large Majority. Governments Dull—The Currency Movement—Local Fi+ nances. The Produce Markets Generally ; Quiet, and Tending 3 Downward, ‘A Weak Feeling in the Afterneon— Wheat, Pork, and Lard Quite Weak. FINANCIAL. Everybody apparently hos turned bear on stocks. Chicago brokers and operators believe in lower prices by a large majority. All the ad- vices received from New York point to a de- cline in values. The insiders reiterate the opin- fonin season and out that stocks are too bigh. ‘The assurances that the mecting of the trunk- Yine pool would be harmonious had no effect on the tone of the market. It was stated on good authority that a dispatch was reccived by the representatives of the trunk-lincs from the four Presidents directing them to make no break in Tutes on account of the competition of the Grand Trank. But this news apparently made no bulls. Nearly everybody believes prices will ultimate- ly go higher, but also regard present quotations 6s too high, and are consequently looking for a serious break in the whole list. Those who do not think stocks inflated -at their present figures expect a tumble no less than the others, because they be- ; lieve the big fish want it, in order tolond up for * another rise, and what the big fish want they are generally ableto get. The weak point in all ' these vaticinations of the future is that it is not the expected that happens. Apartfrom the Louisville & Nashville and Washville & Chattanooga stocks, which no one pays much attention to, the strongest stocks ‘were the coalers and Columbus, Chicago & In- diana Central. The latter advanced 1:6, to 23: onthe report that the Pennsylvania Railro: ‘would not wait for the decision of the Supreme Court, but would settle its indebtedness at once. ‘The coal stocks were strong on their merits, and are believed likely to go down only, if at all, in -sympathy with the rest of the market.‘ Dela- ware & Hudson made X, to 76x, after veclling at 7%; Lackawanna , to. 0%, after selling at 9143; Jersey Central }, to 86%.

There is an increase of 22.7 per cent in the value of the imports, and 19.1 per cent in the value of the exports, compared with January, 1879. In January, 1879, bowerer, the trade account showed considerable’ decreases. Imports were then lower by about 14 per cent and exports by about: § per cent compared with the values for Janua- ry, 1878. But, allowing for that, there is a very substantial increase in the figures for this year, and for the first time the “ revival” really ceases to be one-sided. It will be seen that the increase in the exports extend to prices as well as quan- tities in most instances. This favorable change isas yet by no means universal, coal and iron,” linen yarn, wool, and woolen goods ali indicat- ing values lower than they stood at 2 year ago in the comparison of quantities and prices; but considerable progress has been made in other directions, and the enlarged shipments have only to continue to bring prices up all around.

Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, New Yorx, Feb. 2.—The market opened strong, but soon became weak, with the excep- tion of coal stocks, which were strong until very near the close, making a decided advance for the day. About noon prices stiffened along the line, and at 2 o'clock again steam was applied, but within afew minutes of the close the whole list suddenly grew weak, and closed at an aver- age lower than they were depressed in Gould's raid of Tuesday last. The stock market acts tired, and it is believed that operators are more anxious to sell their stocks without depressing the market than to advance prices. The growing activity of money within the past fewdayshas had much todo ‘with this altered state of things. It is true that the purchase of $2,000,000 of bonds by the Gov- ermment gave a hopeful turn to tne market; yesterday, but on the same day nifie’ steamers arriving from Europe afforded occasion for the payment of Some $2,000,000 for duties. The balance of trade iS working against us, and the shipment of specie is likely soon to begin, while there is 2 a: drain from the West. These facta, and the unwarranted height to which very many securi- ties that afford no possible chance for dividends have been pushed, make it advisable for those dealing in stocks ‘to act with extreme caution, and ceperialls as Gould and Sage, two of the most powerful operators, after selling out their Bolalags, huve suddenly changed front and are every day assuiling the stocks, Con} stocks, as wes intimated in this column, have had a handsome rise, and will eventually sell much higher on an improved condition, but have already ‘advanced considerably and a re- action is not unlikely.

The leading produce markets were rather slow yesterday, and again steady, the changes in prices being small and not numerous. The stiff- ness in ocean freights put an embargo on the shipping movement, both of gTiin and meats, and the feeling was further dulled in breadstuffs by the unexpected decline in wheat and corn in Liverpool.. The drop there was probably due to the belief that the High Joints would decide on a reduction in rail freights to the seaboard,— a matter about which people here were not at all certain. There was, however, enough of uncertainty in regard to the probable action to make a good many people hold off from trading, and this in part accounted for the slowness ob- servable in most departments, though holders of property were not generally disposed to sell at lower prices. A rather large proportion of the business that was dono was simply changes from one month to another, in’ preparation for the deliveries to be made next Monday on.-March contracts. In the . afternoon the markets turned rather heavily downwards; wheat was depressed by rumors of large short sales by exporters on the scaboard, and both grain and provisions were weakened by the sup- position that rail freights, like the married folks alluded to by Hamlet, “Shai! remain as thoy are.” Mess pork closed 2c lower, at $11.70@ 11.72% for seller March and $11.874@U1.90 for April. Lard closed 15¢ lower, at $7.124@7.15 for new seller March, and $7.22%@7.25 for April. Short ribs closed at $6.45 for April. Spring wheat closed 2c lower, at $1.23 for March and $1.24 for April. Corn closed 3¢c lower, at Sic for February, and 4134¢ May. Oats closed ¥o lower, at 354{@35Xe for May. Rye was steady at ‘W5c cash, and 73%6c for seller March. Barley was quoted weak at Sie sellers for March extra 3, and WTe April No. 2. Hogs were quiet and firm at $4.30@4.40 for light and at $4.25@i.05 for heavy. Cattle were dull and unchanged with sales at A good and daily improving demand for staple and fancy dry goods is reported.. Prices aro sustained with unabated firmness. Groceries were in fair request at unchanged prices. Coffees were moving freely and were strong at the late advance. Sugars were steadier than for some days previous. Rice, spices, and sirups were unchanged. The demand for dried fruits shows some improvement, but prices continue rather easy. Fish were activo and firm as last quoted. 1n the markt for dairy products there were no changes. Olls were quiet at steady figures. The market for bagging was without now features, the demand continuing -fair at advancing prices. Coal, leather, and pig-iron were quiet. ‘ Lumber was in request and steady. Shipping orders are numerous, and local buyers are tak- ing a considerable quantity. Hardware and nails continue in fair demand und, generally steady. Wool was quoted firm and fairly active. Nochange was noted in broom-corn or hay. Hides were stronger, the improvement being in sound stock. a few orders for which were re- ceived, and the offerings werelight. Seeds were in fair demand and firmer, though timothy weakened from the highest point touched be- fore the close. The sales of green fruits were fair and prices were unchanged, though in- creased receipts created a weaker feeling in eapples. Poultry was dull and easier. Rail freights were reported steady on the basis of 40c per 100 Ibs on grain to New York, and sic on boxed meats to do... Through freights to Liv- erpool were 78X¢ on meats and lurd, and d5c on flour; do to Glasgow 68Xc, and lard and meats to Hamburg Sic. = ‘The receipts of wheat at Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Toledo, and Detroit, reported yeater- day, aggregated 122,000 bu, and shipments 49,000.
