EASTERN MARKETS. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—The market was irreg- ular to-day, but left off strong with fractional gains in most shares with larger gains in other stocks where interest largely centered. Initial prices were generally higher, but subsequent speculation was somewhat reactory and Lon- don sold some 30,000 shares, partly on the Philippine incident and renewed talk of trouble between France and England. Profit-taking | sales caused some of the railways to recede | from the early best figures, New York Central | | being especially weak, although it subsequentiy | recovered most of its loss. American Steel and | Wire shares after opening with improvements were raided and the common declined 5 points and the preferred lost 16 and then rallied 3 and 12 points, respectively. In the afternoon rise there was an increase in the volume of trading. The favorable November statement of Louisville started an upward movement in that stock of % and a better tone spread to the rest of the list. Western Union and Kansas | and Texas preferred also displayed strength. Improvement in the anthracite trade because of the cold weather was assigned a reason for the | rise in these stocks, although the advance in the price of coal predicted for the begin- ning of the vear failed to materialize. The in- crense in eastbound shipment and the reported restoration of trunk line freight rates were sup- | porting factors in the stock concerned. Ameri- can Sugar was hammered from time to time an the unsettled conditions of the trade and lost 2 per cent. Railway bond prices forged upward to-day on heavy purchases. Total sales, $6,101,000. United States fours declined % and the old fours coupon advanced 3 in the bid price.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.—Wheat at the opening and for a few moments following showed com- parative firmness, though not so much as had been expected from the strong curb markets prevalling since Friday. Opening unchanged at TI%@T71%c, a very moderate buying demfind, most of which came from the outside, sufficed to advance the price to 72%c. That was the turning point. Liverpool was only %d higher. Paris was reported 55 centimes lower. Argen- tine crop reports were favorable, although the advices were to the effect the harvest would be late. There was nothing oppressively bearish in the news, but shortly after the opening it became evident that most of the heavy bull traders were convinced that a reaction was due and that the ruling prices justified profit- taking. There was also the selling of wheat | by the class of speculators who invariably put | out short lines after January 1. Bull news was plentiful later in the session, but in the meantime the selling movement had- become general, professional short sellers adding not a little to the weakness the market developed by pounding it vigorously. Before noon a very material decline had taken place. May reached T0%c shortly after noon. The weakness that veloped In corn was given a good deal of on by wheat traders, and aifected prices Expectations in regard to the decrease were realized, the figures howing a decrease of 1,890,000 bushels. This adled the market. ar the close May rallied to 70%@70%c and closed at that price. Corn was active and weak. Cables were The feature was the closing out of a large line of long corn, showing good profits, and caused a sharp break in prices. May closed at %@lc The market for oats reflected corn in every particular. There was heavy liquidation and the market was weak from the start. May c. Provisions late in the day showed a good deal of firmnes The market finally broke in sympathy w the close support again developed and part of the decline was recovered.
