LONDON MARKET. TW YORK, Jan. 26.—The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: Politics re- | stricted all stock markets here to-day, except February the belt of calms and variables be- tween the trades mav be expected to be nar- | TOWw, S0 narrow in some places that a vessel may pass from one trade wind into another St e s North of the { thirty-fifth parellel frequent westerly gales, accompanied by rain or snow, may be ex-| pected ‘‘During this month occasional dangerous gales may be expe d on the American coast north of the fortieth parallel. Oc sional squalls may be expected In the vicinity of the Hawalian Islands. ““Typhoons are usually infrequent during February. The northeast monsoon on the coast of China may be expected to continue to_blow steadlly during the month. ““Occasional fog will be found along the American coast, though not sufficient to war- rant its probable limits being shown on the chart. W HUGHE: Lieutenant U. S. EASTERN MARKETS. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—If the strength in yesterday's stock market was to be attributed to a natural recovery from the scare caused by the Maine's departure for Havana there could be no doubt of the underlying strength and breadth of to-day's market for securities. The Maine incident has, In fact, been convert ed into an actual bull factor in the stock market, the exchange of courtesies at Havana being Jooked upon as promising more towards smoothing relations between the two. coun. tries thau anything that has yet occurred. The movements of to-day's market were broad and deep, and left no room to doubt that large in- terests were absorbing securities with great confidence, and on a very heavy scale, Heavy purchases’ of 1000 share ‘blocks were frequent in leading stocks and all through the list, and there were a number of transactions in bonds in which $100,000 par value changed hands in one block. Almost every group of railway properties in’ the market was represented in the advance. The group ot New York corporations was an exception and showed signs of heaviness, London continued a large factor, though its purchases were probably not as large in this market as was the case yesterday. The exchange reflected the further effect of its development with a sharp drop of % in the actual rate for demand sterling, bringing it down to $4 84%. This is the point which has started the two last import movements of gold and there was talk in the street to-day of gold imports. This would be the more remarkable in view of the hardening tendency of money rates abroad and the continued ease here. The locad money market showed no effect from to- day's surrender by New York banks of the first 10 per cent of the instaliment of the Gov- ernment deposit on account of the Union Pa- cific sale. This transaction resulted in prac. tically wiping out the Sub-Treasury's debit balance at the clearing house to-day, Which has been running recently from over half a million to nearly a million dollars a day. Dealings in bonds was large and prices gen- | i | vator with 250,000 bushels Americans, which rose steadily and gulet at the best, almost entirely on New York | cupport. New York Central and Ontarlo and Western led the rise. Other markets were featureless. Spanish se- curities were dull. Money rates are tighten- ing still further and more was borrowed to-day from the Bank of England. The East Indian Railway was offered £600,000 of 2% per cent debentures at only 97. Only £9%,000 was ap- plied for, an indication showing the way which money rates are perhaps tending. NEW YORK GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.—The opening in wheat was firm, May starting at S4%@MYc, an ad- vance of %@%e. while July was %@%c higher at 85@85%c. This partly due to the firmness at Liverpool, where %d advance was shown The destruction of the East St. Louls ele wheat also had some effect, as it was expected to cause buy- ing from there. The contrary proved to be the case. New York reported good forelgn de- mand with the May price up %c. Against this was the big snowfall, and the bearishness this caused was especially marked in July. There were no signs of a renewal of the Leiter bidding for January, which ran the price of that delivery up to $i yesterday, but never- theless the sudden advance in prices which that maneuver caused yesterday made the bears rather timid, and each attack on May was followed by 'a rally. Toward midday, however, the market was allowed to sag. May had touched S3%c and reacted to S4ige several times, but about 12 o'clock the price had gradually declined to 98%@%3%c. The fluctuations were . apparently the result of scalping, as no mews of fmportance came in. To-day's clearances from Atlantie ports were equal to 415,000 bushels. Liverpool closed %d higher for futures; Paris from § centimes o 10 centimes higher for wheat and flour and Antwerp 121 centimes higher. About ten minutes from the close the pit suddenly took on a scene of activity. Jenu had been practically nominal at about 9%6c day, but betore the Leiter people got throu t cl {L with it the price was $1 01. osed at May responded to this rally much more readily than it did yesterday. The market had been rather oversold anyway, and the jump in January, coming just after fresh war news in the shape of & report that a British gunboat had seized a steamer loaded with arms and ammunition in the gulf of Oman and con- slkmed to Russian houses, garted shorts on a urr unt for cover.

The high | rates were maintained, and in some cases the highness of the limits caused withdrawals. Fine Port Phillip fleace washed sold at ex- treme prices to the home trade, lambs' Wool reaching 2s 10. American purchasers and the home trade operated spiritedly for fine greasles, the latter securing the bulk of the offerings of this sort. Five thousand bales were taken for America. A fair quantity of cross-bred slips sold readily at full rates. German buyers were eager for scoured, pay- ing 1s 814, and French purchasers were more active. The better sorts of Cape of Good Hope and Natal sold at an advance of 10 per cent, to the home trade. Thus far in the available 84,700 bales.
