THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS, A War Rumor Causes a Slight Advance in Wheat. But the Fictitious Boom Boon Col- lapses, and the Market Rules Quite Dull-Oats Fal Ac- tive—General Quotations. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Cnicaco, Jan. 30.—[Special Telegram to thie Ber.]—The wheat market was quite dull and there was but one incident of sufficient fmpoatance to influence prices. yThat was a re- port that in an encounter upon the frontier be- tween small bodies of Russian and Prussian soldiers, one of the latter had been killed and another captured. This was worth an advance of %c in the price of wheat. The report was denied and the c was lost. Then came a supposed confirmation of the report by way of Milwaukee, and the price advanced again, but it was only worth i@3c this time. Upon the next denial this small advance was lost. This was the history of the morning session. The announcement of # decrease in the visible supply of 600,000 bushels had no effect upon prices. May wheat opened at 813¢e and gradually fell to 81%c, but lingered about 81%c until, on receipt of the ‘‘war news" wbove mentioned, it advanced sharply to S2ic, then hung between 8lj¢c and SI@sc for a long time, dropped 81 rencwal of the war story advanced to 82@ 823ge, fell to S1%c and closed th o'clock. February wheat opened at sold up to 76c, and closed nominally at at 1 o'clock. ‘There was light speculative b the corn pit and the markct was with- out especial interest. Prices, which seemed to follow the fluctuations in wheat very closely, were weak early in sympathy with wheat, advanced on the “‘war news” and fell away when that news was dis- credited. Here, as in wheat, guessers had come quite near the mark in their pre- dictions as to the visible supply, and the in- creased 454,000 bushels was not unexpected, and had no effect on the market. May corn opened at b2l so0ld down early to B2 advanced to B@53lc, lost this advanco later, and closed at 1 o'clock at 52lc. February corn opened at 473c, sold up to 48¢, and l]n\\‘n to the lust named price at 1 o'clock. There was a fair trade in oats in n specula- tive way, nearly all in May delivery. Ite ceipts of outs in this market hav increasing lately, and this has been of some assistance to the'bears, May oats opencd at B3¢ to-day, and directly sold down to but luter, in sympathy with other grain mar- kets, advanced to 831yc, then declined to” the 1 0'clock close, which w In provisions the day rather moderate showi the influ- ence of a *'good run’ of hogs, trade opened with the prospects of a_bear movement, and the initial sales showed a decline from Saturday's closing of 2@, in short ribs and lard, and 10c in pork.

The general quality of the stock on sale was the poorest for any Monday for a long time. Buyers who had orders for cattle good enough to export declared there ‘were not ten loads of such among the ar- rivals. The great bulk consisted of half-fat. tenea, plain and medium natives, and such sold lower—in some cases 10 15¢ lower—than on Friday, yetnot so much lower than on Saturday. Anything that had fat sold equally as well as last Monday. Low grade native butchers’ stock sold 10@15¢ lower, and native canning stock drpp) 10@t5e, There were more common old cows and rough stock among the arrivuls than for many & day. The Northwestern road brought about 225 cars of cattle, 80 per cent of which were old cows and common native steers. There was little or nothing doing in stockers and feeders.

The general quality of hogs was poor and shipping orders were light. Pack- ers were bearish and a big run is looked for to-morrow. Shippers were out on account of the snow blockade on the New York Central and New England roads. A large share of the stock sent last week was, as late as Sat- urday, held by a snow storm around Niagara Falls and Buffalo. Prices were strong at 10¢ lower all around, gnd in some cases 15¢ lower, the top being #.75, with a rumored sale at £5.80, against §.80@@5.95 on Saturday.

NEw York, Jan. -[Special Telegram to the Bee|-—Stocks—The firm closing of stocks Saturday made traders mostly bull- ish and the market opened firm, with frac- tional advances that were interpreted as meaning a further rise. London bought fai ly. Gould was credited with buying some Missour: Pacific stock last week and was ex- pected to buy more. man houses were also reported as absorbing Texas Pacifie. The market was expected to breaden as it ad- vunced, as is generally the case on an active bull movement when bonds are active and advancing and money plenty and cheap. The greatest advance was in Delaware & Hud son,which showed a jump of 13¢per cent over Saturday’s close, touching 1lg per cent, “The appreciation was too much for the bulls to stand, and those who had profits took ad vantage of the aetivity and began selling freely. Long stocks began to come out with such freedom that the upward tendency was checked and sharp declines of 1@1% per cent followed, and before 1 o'clock about all the early advance had been lost. There was little news to effect values except that com- Peting roads had decided to meet the cut made by the “Soo" route. The last hour was churucterized by fair trading but a very ir- regular movement. Goods that were notad- Receipts dressed vanced too rapidly during the morning, re- mained firm, while others were: weak. The close, however, shiowee morp strength than weakness and recoreed advances of ‘W@’ per cent. The only declines of importance were 1% points on Missouri Pacific, 3§ on Louisville and Nashville, i on Lackawana, and i on Erie. The latter was due to the lust quarterly statement showing & decrease in the net carnings. Chicago stock houses had a better business, the majority being sellers of stocks.
