Y., Jan. 22.—While business at the Stock Exchange showed no material im provement in volume, the undertose of the mar- ket was distinctly better. The advance in was the direct result of advices from London indi- cating a peaceful solution of the Venezuelan ques- tion. London became a buyer of stocks which led | to an advance of anywhere from 14 to 13;. In the case of General Electric, the stock was influenced by rumors from ¢ the old deai with the | Westinghou The stock rose to | Tobacco and Chi- e, Tobacco falling as {0 637 trom 65. sday. E 10 767 from 7 The decline in Tobacco was auributed to the closing Of the transfer-books, for the aunual elec- tlon practically wiped out the premium, so far as borrowing purposes are goucerned. The refusal of the Secretary of State of IIinois to accept the Teorganization papers of the Chicago Gas people weakened this stock. After an early and sharp ad- vance the railway list droppea into dullness and the market for these specialties continued quiet | until the last half hour of business, when a num: ber of buying orders made their appearanc Nickel-plate stocks were the f>atures at_this time, the common rising 114, second preferred 3 to 29 | and the first preferred 855 to 80. | This rise was due to the declaration of a5 per | cent dividend on the first preferred stock.

The strength occasioned surprise, from the fact that it was of such great force, seem- ing to take possession of the market in a decisive manner and uot growing gradually as most gen- erally is the case, The falling off in the movement in the Northwest aitracted much attention this amprning, and iL_may be ssid that that was the Pprimary caise of the sirengtb. There were dis- couraging reports on the Argentine crop received, but tiey were fa line with the previous intelli: ence. ® Minocepotis and Duluth received 265 cars to-day <1410 lust Wednesday and 169 on the corre- | closed 35c bigher than yesterday. 301,@3055¢. do shoulders, 5¢; do hams, 833 | @1815¢; do factory, | sponding day a vear ago.

PROVISIONS—On adecline of 5c in hog prices &t the yards the impulse of product at the opening was to recede, but the strong upward inclination of wheat checked the weakness and exerted sufli- clent influence to cause & recovery. The Orange Judd Farmer issued a report on the number and values of farm animals to January 1. In reference to hogs it stated: The total number of Logs is less than 2 per cent smaller than a year ago, loss from sickness in some districts being offset by substan- tial increase in others, notably the South and the May, | districts that suffered a corn failure in 1894.” May pork closed 10c lower than yesterday: May lard 714@10c lower, and May ribs 5@7Yac lower.
