| CUMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL | PMiligs Fails to Advance the Margins en Deals ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF GRAIN UNLOADED Mény Milllon Bushels of kets and P Threatens Everything. There was tumult AGO L 1 R For a time a panic jay in the grain pi N eprossion threatened e yihing. Al her news was subordinate to the fallure ot George H. Phillips to advance margins on his deals and the consequent unloading of many million bushels of cereals on the aiready weakening markets, After the early wide and rapid fluctuations and a heavy short market had absorbed the Phil- lips #tuff to the profit of many a bear the markets quleted and gradually came under Usual influences. The close was much bet- ter than had been expected. May wheat suftered a net loss of Yo, May corn %@lc, @c and May rve de. Provi- independent,” 124@16c to 16@ 17gc higher. When' just before the opening of the board, the notlce was posted at the request of Phillips that houses having open deals with him close them out at once, triders became badly frightened. Late last night it was known that Phillips was in a tight pinch to make good his margins because of the small rald on his rye deals made yes- terdiy. Hears in the wheat pit began aug- menting the size of the load of long wheat which rumor credited him with. Bulls who had been averaging for the last few days became frightened and the result was that when the starting gong sounded May wheat was selling 1o to 1%@1%c down at s04as0c. Buch prices were bargains to the heavily short bear crowd and everywhere covering was the feature. But liquidations both by longs and the Phillips houses kept up at a tremendous rate. The Phillips stuff Wis estimated at 5,600,000 bushels, all of which was put out almost at the start of the market. The large extent of the short accounts iy credited with having saved th market from a panic. Covering and some bull support put the price for May up again to Slize, but the fact of the fallure was still feit and the market sagged again to 80%c. By the noon hour the usual cor ditions began to hav r effect and th market quieted dow slightly lower cubles, which were overlooked at the open- ing, showed by a small reflection of “the weikness yesterday in this market, and the continued reports of no molsture in the winter belt helped press prices upward agaln. Some bulls came the low pri o down, at S1asiiye. ¢ars, two of contract grade; M and Wi total for [ against 384 last week and 474 a Primary receipts were 57,000 bushel fared with 866,000 bushels & year ago. Sea- hoard ~ clearances ‘n wheat and flour equalled 537,000 bushels. The world's vis- ible supply decrensed 528,000 bushels. Corn opened weak and lower. The sell tng_for the Phillips account was estima at 500,000 bushels. In general the reactl were ‘the same as in wheat. May op 1@%e to Ha%e down at e to 6. Bolling orders Were much in evidence ghroughout the session. The cash situation was dull aud the salvation of the pit rested almost entirely on the covering of the heavy short accounts. After the open- ing slump there was a sharp reaction (o e, slightly above yesterday's close. The ‘advance was lost when wheat wes ened again. There was some attempt at ulling and late in the session the reaction rought a close only slightly weak, H@bse jower, at 65%c. Recelpts were 171 cars Oats had the same troubles to contend spgainst us the other pits. There were about 600,000 bushels sold here to close the Phillips deals. As in other markets shorts were the buyers. This pit shows a con- erable independence ‘at the opening. M Muy started Moo lower at e, slumped to , but jumped back quickly to \C, e higher than yesterday. A good many traders were sold short at the opening and ‘were caught for losses, but after the early excitement trade quieted down and eased materinily. Bulls did not attempt much wupport to this market. May closed steady, 34We lower, at 45%c. Recelpts were 203 cars: Rye, the pit which caused all the trouble, had the hardest dl{l of all. Early the “fancy” deal which Philiips In #ald to have started, was rajded by one or two elevator concern: and at one time there was 3c depress| Support had buoyed up_ prices, but brokers became afrald of the Phillips deals and demanded the full deal. He was understood to be over 1,000,000 bushels long, and when his closing notice was ted at the opening May prices were #%@ike down at e, "The heavy lquidation that be- gan at once was more than the usually fmall pit could stand and May dropped down even to 6c. At this figure short cov- ering and lnng buying by a prominent house which absorbed: nearly all' the Phil- 1) stuff brought a reaction to §oe. ‘he closing was weak, 3c lower, at 63%c. Provisions showed marked strength and- ndependence immediately aftor the open- ing. At the start there was a_depression on the grain slump, but outside buying and an_improved hog market buoyed price to & firm close.

CORN—g3c MOVEMENTS OF CKS AND BONDS, Market Becomes Wenk and Sell Movement Becomes General. NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—There was con- slderable disturbance of speculative senti- ment in the stock market today and the movement to sell galned Increaaing force. | The weakness became rather acute in the final hour, when the heaviest selling of the day was done, and the market closed ac- tive and weak and generally at the lowest net losses, running all the way from 1 to § points for'the principal stocks. There were %ome mpecial causes of weakness of In. dividual stocks, which affected the general market by sympathy to some extent, but the movement as # whole was due to'gen- eral causes, which have been gaining an influence for several days past. All minor differences of interpretation over the stand- ing of the case against the Northern Se- curlties company are sunk in the general consideration that the legality of the com- bination 18 to be submitted to determination by the courts, and that the value of Its securities dre 'to be In abeyance’ during a probable prolonged litigation. The bearing of the decision in other combinations, not only those made, but some others in'con- templation, makes the decision of this case of vast importance to the securities mar- ket. The difficulties developed in the sev- eral Industrial combinations which have suffered from Impaired credit have given rise to a much more conservative spirit among lenders of money and buyers of se- curities. Today's upset in the grain mar- kets, resulting from over-commitments in speculation, brought some liquidation alrectly tpon the stock market. Besides these general considerations Wall street had.rumors that a new bond issue by a rail- road company was imminent, and on these the stocks of the company declined 1% and 3 points. The remurks by President Thomas in the last annual report that it “would seem as though the day is now ap- proaching when arrangements for new capital can be profitably made,” was re- garded 8s a substantial basis’ for these rumors. The cut In the prices of refined Kugars cost that speclalty 3 points. There was noticeable weakness in a_group of stocks {f which there has been speculation on hopes ot dividend increases or the be- inning of dlvidends. There were fea that these hopes would be disappointe The New York, Chicago & St. Louls stocks, the 8t. Louls & San Francisco stocks, Lak Erle & Western and United States Express might be included In this category. The Atchisons were heavily sold on continuing Qissatistaction over the debenture bond is- sue. Aside from these instances the selling Was pretty well distributed. There was a rlod of some strength in the morning, fod by Manhattan, with a rise of 1%, but that stock fell with the rest of the market. Glucose rose 3%, in the face of the generai decline, Sterling exchange was somewhat easier, leading to the supposition that gold may hot be exported after all this week, but the market was little affected by this development and by the liberal gafns ‘of cash on subtreasury operations. The pay- ment today of $600,000 in redemption of the Hawallan loan _assumed the United States will accrue to the benefit of the market. Active bonds weakened in sym- pathy with stocks, but somewhat active lssues had early gains. Total sales, par value, $3,075,000. ' United States. bonds were all_unchanged on the last call. The Commercial Advertiser's London financlal cablegram says: The stock mare ket today was brisker and cheerful, es- ectally @t the close, on reports that nego- lations looking toward _peace in South Africa are in progress. Home rails were strong; American stocks were narrow and uninteresting, although there was good Dutch buying of Baltimore & Ohio and Unitea Btates Steel, while New York boosted Union Pacific. Rio Tintos recov- ered on local buying. Double option at the end of the month is quoted at 1% per cent. Clopper #0ld at _£45 10s. Parls exchange is S5hols: Berlin, 20.45.
