W YORK, Jan. 12.—To-day's market for the same character as The vrincipal interest was cen- fon Pacific and a number of its panies and in Northern Pacific, were the leading factors of strenxth, while on the other hand Sugar continuec under a welght of depression, as was the case yes- terday. A new feature of special strength w, Chezapeake and Ohlo, which advanced a point on heavy buying. Transactions were on a very large scale, and the heavy dealings of large operators, backed by the powerful interests, were manifest all through the market. These large operations attracted a considerable fol- lowing both among the smaller traders and from outside sources. Commiseion house busi- ness was, in fact, quite noticeable in the day's trading. It was obvious, however, that realiz- ing on a large scale was going on in differcnt parts of the list colncidentally with the strength in other parts. A striking example of this process was seen in the two Northern Pa- cific stocks, the common being advanced over a point, while realizing in the specified carried it before the close below last night's last sale. The grangers, outside of St. Paul, will also be seen to refiect a supply of stock fully equal to the demand. Union Pacific Tose at one time over two points, but recent buyers commenced to profit as soon as a report was published that the new company had secured control of the Oregon Short Line. The stock reacted over a point. The recent strength of the stocks ©of the disintegrated portions of the old Union Pacific system is fully explained by to-day’s announcement. This buying was evidently founded on a belief in far-reaching plans of combination and extension, which, according to some prevalent rumors. will embrace one_vast system from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Much was made in the market on a reported bond dasue by the Chesapeake and Ohio, though | Hocking Val icinity—Fair Thursday; | the view of benefits to accrue seemed to be somewhat exaggerated regarding the amount of transactions. Advices from the London and continental | markets showed the tone of American securi- tles in the foreign financial markets to be ex- cellent. London bought in this market no less than 20,000 shares of the favorite international Atocks arked strength of Union P: cific, Denver and Rio Srande preferred and Northern Pacific were directly attributable to this demand. The weakness in Sugar seemed to be connected with the annual meeting of di- rectors in progress to-day, though no news re- garding the company reached the house. Money | declined to yield to-day below 21 per cent, | but the tone of the market reflected the prev: lent feeling that rates will vield in the near future. Large amounts of money also found their way Into investment and spaculation t day. The available possibility of relief to the money market was indicated by the fall of 4 in posted rates, the decline not being pre- vented by the expected arrival to-morrow at San Francisco of another $1,000,000 in gold from Australia. The par vaiue of to-day’s transactions {n bonds 1s not as large as that of yesterday, but business was remarkably well distributed all through the list. Gains mere the rule. but there were gome declines. Total sales, $4,775,000. United States old 4s coupon and the 2s were ¢ higher bid to-day. There was a sale of the new 4s coupon at 1203, which is the highest on record Total sales of stocks to-day were 490.400 shares, including: ~Atchison preferred 8o6d, | Chesapeake and Ohio 20,762, Burlington 19,772, Louisville and Nashville 16.315.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: There was less activity in Grand Trunks and Canadlan Pacifics in the stock market here to-day, and increased anfmation and strength in Ameri. cans and Argentines, particularly Argentine ratls. Mines were neglected. Americans are still mainly supported by New York and the continent. There were increased dealings here, but entirely by professional speculators. Denver and Rio Grande preferred has risen sharply on professional clique buy- ing. Union Pacifics were etrong on buying from New York and the continent. Prices generally closed strong. It is reported, but I cannot in any way confirm it, that the pur- chaser of Manitoba and Western bonds is the Northern Pacific Company. Gold is in increased demand for Germany. It is nominally quoted at 77s 10%d, but it is really much higher. You may entirely discredit the rumors of Anglo-German China loans. The negotiations, whether completed or not, are on the lines already cabled. CLOSING STOCKS. Atchison .. . 12% St P & Om Do pret . 3%/ Do pret Balt & Ohlo 13% St P M & Can Pac . 8§7% So Pacific .

CHICAGO, Jan. 12.—At the opening option prices for wheat showed a slight decline, May starting at 9%@%0%c as compared with yes- terday’s close of 9ic. This was because Liv- erpool showed a very small advance in re- sponse to the gain here yesterday and Paris ppened lower. Northwest receipts were again | | Kansas City t00 heavy to be a comfort to the bulls, and smaller receipts here were the only circum- stance’ that they could claim in thelr _favor. Trading was restrict ishness of the speculative crowd, which pre- vented them from buying, and their timidity at the same time of being caught short under the well-known threatening local conditions that now exist. For a ghort time after the opening the market did show some strength Brokers for the Leiter interests were fair buy- ers at %%c, and their example in this respect was followed by some of the small fr: price as a resuit advancing to 9i%c. Rumors that the French duty on grain was about to be reduced were persistently circulated at the opening and helped in the advance. Denials soon became so unanimous, however, that the crowd dropped the tariff reduction as mo- tive for the decline at Paris, and the market here eased off from that time. The receipts at Western primary markets were 420.000 bushels, against 230,000 bushels the | corresponding day of the year before. Liver- pool's advance was_only %d .per cental and Paris opened from 5 centimes to 15 centimes lower. Beerhohm cabled that Argentine wheat sold at 33s 6d, or the equivalent of $1 00, and that cargoes of that wheat were being freely offered to arrive. On the other hand, the Minneapolis dispatches reiterated their con- ;anl theme of coming scarcity in that re- on. The export clearances of wheat and flour from the Atlantic ports amounted to 445,000 bushels. Closing cables brought lower quota- tions from Continental markets, while Liver- pool closed about kd lower for next crop fu- tures, September showing %d advance. Paris quoted flour for this month's delivery 45 cen- times lower, and for March-May 15 centimes higher, Wheat 5 centimes lower for both Im- mediate and remote deliveries; Antwerp, 25 centimes lower for American red and 123 cen- times lower for Walla Walla. The price of May fluctuated between $0%c and 91c for the greater part of the gession and at 1 o'clock was selling at %0%c. In the last fifteen minutes of the session support had en- tirely disappeared and operators who had be- come “long’’ on the early French rumors had considerable difficulty in unloading. May de- clined rapidly in consequence and was quoted at_9K@%Yc at the close. Corn was very quiet. The market was easy at the opening with wh It turned firm on the prospects of a cold wave, but turned easy ®gain as wheat declined, and showed weak- ness for the rest of the session. The market for oats was slow. Some firm- ness was shown at the opening, but later prices fell off with wheat and corn. Provisions were strong throughout. , Much lighter receipts of hogs than expected started the market at small advances all around. The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles. Open. High. Low.

Notwithstand- ing this fact the market Is possessed of more interesting features now than then. Though much less active, it is a broader market. Where a short time since a halt dozen gigantic mills were absorbing all atten- tion by reason of their eagerness to pick up round amounts of staple territory, there fs now a ‘widespread inquiry from mills of every class for wool of a great manv diiferent grades and better inquiry Is highly Indicative of an active market in a very &hort time.
