EASTERN MARKETS. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—The market for stocks to-day impraved in tone and activity as the day wore on, and at the close the general list showed fractional improvements, while in some cases there was a rise of from 1 to 21 points. The close was strong at the best prices of the day. The extreme ease of money, call loans being made as low as 1%, was a potential in- fluence in the market's late strength. There were several other beneficial features In the | news of the day, the weekly earnings of rafl- ways In nearly every case were net increases, running up to $20,000 in Chesapeake and Ohio and $30,000 in Louisville and Nashville.

Northern Pacific left off at 1% advance on hopeful expressions regarding the eurnings by friends of the property. The bond market maintained a fair degree of strength, with transactions largely centered in the speculative lines. The aggregate sales were 3,430,000. Government bonds showed an easler tendency. The sales of stocks to-day were 267,600 shares, including: C. & O., 3215: Baltimore and Ohlo, 3500: Louixville and Nashville, 2000: Manhattan, 23,95 Metropolitan, 7750; Hawalfian, 3557; Mis- sourl’ Pacific, 5620/ New York Central, 7285 Northern Pacific.

As usual, the opening was greatly Influenced by Liverpool, and the action of that market on this occasion was a disap- pointment to the bulls. Liverpool opened %@ %d higher, but by opening time here that ad- vance had nearly all been lost.

A great deal of the early buying of July was credited to the | Teiter people, which had the effect of not only | driving local shorts to cover, but outside shorts as well, as for a time the trading in that | option was decidedly warm. The advance that followed the opening de- cline was in _the face of a good deal of hearish information brought in over the wires. Besides the early loss at Liverpool, Flour at Paris was reported 20 centimes lowér for March-June The July option was the fea- It opened at S1%@ cabled that French duties were {mmovable, s for next harvest was mag- nificent and that the requirements of foreign Wheat In that country from now to July 1 Afterward | the closing cables from Paris quoted both Wheat and Flour from 1 to 15 centimes higher, and from Antwerp a rise of 123 centimes was | advised. Liverpool closed %d higher for the dny for March Wheat and %4d lower for May. Clearances from Atlantic and- Gulf ports were ual in Wheat and Flour to 325.500 bushels. wocal recelpts were 17 cars, against 2 the similar day of the year before. Realizing by local longs became quite free in the afternoon, in both the May aud July options, and slight declines ensued. The ex- treme dullness which set in during the last half hour also had its influence, and the mar- ket was weak at the close, May at 91%c and July at g2%c. There was some improvement in the trade in Corn. The market was weak on general sell- lng by room traders. May from 23¢ to 28%@28%c, and closed a shade higher at 28%c.

BOSTON, Jan. 19.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow of the wool market: A more featureless week in the wool market has not been witnessed in a very long time. Last year at this time the market was very active. The difference in the situa- | tion is shown in the fact that a week ago the sales of wool since January 1, 1398, were 10,956,000 pounds, against 7,165,600 pounds in 1557, whereas the sales to the present time are 14,335,000 pounds, ngainst 13,696,700 pounds last year. A% a matter of fact the present volume of business would a few years ago have been con- sactions which characterized the tariff ye have made the earller perlod seem quite re- mote. Some persons, however, are now awakening to the fact that the market is at present in about what may be truthfully called a normal condition. A feeling of confidence exists on all sides and the demand for wool has been of a gen- eral character the past week. Prices are firmly maintained and it would be difficult to out a locality where concessions lkely to be made. LONDON WOOL SALES.
