THAT CEREAL CLOSED A FRACTION HIGHER First Depressing News Was a [eavy For- elgn Cabte—Corn Wis Helped by the Strength 1o Wheat but Suf- fered Later. fter a weak opening, caused by foreign cable, wheat ad vanced today on liberal export clearances, Hight receipts and hght foreign shipments and closed e higher than yestorday. May corn gained ic; May oats but pro visions suffered heavily from the increased movement of hogs. Wheat scarted ata 8¢ lower at G40, T depression was the dis nging the foreien markets and the conscquent liberal offerings. The export clearances put an end to the decline and started o lar advance. Clearances from the seaboard in cluded 453,000 bu, of wheat and 56,000 bbls. of flour 1 10 700,000 bu. of wheat.

On this showing pric declined for a time, but at the close a_slight rise in the price of wheat and flour was re ported from Paris and reports were circu Jated of a_heavy shipment from St. Louis of wheat for export.

Yonr, Jan. 3.—At the opening of business on the Stock exchange today a de- termined effort wus made by shorts to de- press stocks, which was partially successfut in the early dealngs. The bear campaign was not, however, of long duration, for the conditions did not seem to be eutirely favor- able, and many shorts turned tail and began to cover when they found that the market was strongly supported. Yesterday's disquieting rumors were not revived and the air seemed to be cleared when it was announced that the Holland Trust company the financial rumors yesterday reo- ferred to as going into liquidation had assets to meet all its oblig tions. The weakuess of the London market for American sccurities was a factor i the early depression here, and there were sales of St. Paul for the London account, which, however, decline in these shares of only 1y at, which was s00n recovered, and the final sales were 1y per cent above yesterday's close.
