THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. |? The Board of Trade Blection the Principal Attraction. IN THE VISIBLE. Corn Barren of Interest With Very Light Business—A Strong Feeling Holds Control in Provisions— Ge A DECREASE CHICAGO PRODU Ciicaco, Jan, [Special Telegram to the B —As was anticipated, the board of trade election to-day was a greater attraction than the speculative pits, and as a result business was generally dull, though there was consid- erable animation in wheat at the opening. May wheat opened at 83%e and very soon de- clined to &%c, udvancing to #4c, declined to 83%c, advanced to K4ige, fell to 83 advanced to 841 @sdigc and dropped to S5%c, which was the 1 o'clock closing. February wheat opened at 7714c, which was the lowest point that future touched. The nominal high point was 17%¢ and the 1 o'clock close 3 The decrease of 565,000 bushels in the visible supply of wheat was, although not expected, very encouraging to the buils, and another strengthening feature was the unusually large exports, clearances of 147,000 bushels of wheat being reported from New York, 08,000 bushels from Baltimore and 25,000 bushels from Philadelphia. The shipments of flour, however, were small. Receipts at primary markets contin , these at the eight principal rumu. clusive of olis, from which city no report was re aggregating but 89,000 bushels, The corn market was bar There was unusually light busin appeared to be ubout all local, Pr slowly and the opening were the highest, und the closing the lowest of the session. Am in- crease in the visible supply of 168,000 bushels was a small surprise, us a little decrease had been expec May corn opened at and for some time held between that and 5ic, then gradually dropped to 5 Which was the § 0'clock close.

Ciicaco, Jan, S.—|Special Telegram to 1-—-CaTTLE—There were far too many medium, plain and common steers for the demand, and such sold lower, perhaps lower than any time last week, There were twenty-one loads of Texans on sale, mostly cows and common steers, that sold as high s last week. Low grade natives, canning stock and thin old cows, lean bulls and scrubby steers are down as low as at any time, and slow at that, Nice fat cows and heifers are in fair demand and steady. The stocker and feeder trade had not fair opened when this report closed. Yard deal- ers anticipate a good demand for heavy feed- ers, but also say light little things are slow with an_unreliable demand.

London was also strong and mded the bulls in their efforts to advance prices in ‘Wall street. Although commission houses were not particularly busy, they had more orders than on any day last week, and, not- withstanding the fact that professionals were the principal leaders, sales to noon reached 150,000 shares—more than the average daily transactions last weck. The bond market continues firm and is having its effect on shares. Many operators who have been bear- ish for months have cither withdrawn from the market or turned bulls and are vredict ing a better market. Conservative operators say it is unwise to follow ordinary indications when 80 uncertain a body as congress has so much power over the conditions that affect prices. Heavy trading was noticed in Read- ing and Lackawanna. The strike on the former, howe is & barrier to o large ad- vance. Should the company grant the 8 per cent advance asked by the miners it woula necessitate the payment of §750,000 additios annually, The general market shows vances of % @2 points, Louisy ville went up 1!4 per cent on the renewal of the report of the probuble payment of a scrip dividend.
