WILLSON, Local Forecast Offictal, EASTERN MARKETS, NEW YORK STOCK MARKET, NEW YORK, Jan, 10.—For the first time in :“the history of the Stock Exchange there w. tlf!dln’_' in over a million shares on two suc- céssive days, to-day being the fifth million share day in fifteen days. Practically all the Thilivays except Atchison preferred showed gains of a point at one time or another in the day. In the late selling movement, when the specialties were hammered, some of the ad. vances were lost, and in speclal cases, as in Missourl Pacific and Kansas and Texas pre- ferred, ‘the entire gain was wiped out. Most of the grangers touched the highest prices yet reached in the current movement. The most consplcuous advances among the rallways were the Great Northern preferred, which made an extreme gain of 6%, and Manhattan over 3 and Readings 2 each. The extreme rise among the speclalties was that of New York Alrbrake, 10%, while Standard Distilling, Standard Rope and Federal Steel lost ground. There' was a tone of confidence at the opening, although there was evidence of much forelgn and do- mestic recessions which, however, were quickly recovered general The prices of most inter- national stocks were shaded, and it was esti- mated that London sold some 60,000 shares, mostly Atchisons, while there were some pur- chases from that quarter of Chesapeake and | Ohlo and Southern Railway. Altogether, it is estimated that the arbitrage business of yes- terday and to-day footed up to 190,000 shares. Total sales of stocks to-day, 1,030,600 shares, including 59,820 Atchison; 39,620 do preferred: 8500 Central Pacific; 26,810 Chesapeake and Ohlo; 12,260 Burlington: 6385 Denver and Rio Grande preferred; 5130 Great Northern re- ferred: 34,450 Loulsville and Nashvilie; 19,550 Reading preferred; 44,670 Missouri Pacific; 27,637 Northern Pacific, 835 ‘do preferred; 12,270 Reading; 14,640 Rock Island; 16,90 Union Pa- cific; 36,310 St. Paul; 18,687 Southern; 30,310 do referred; 7600 Texas and Pacific; 11,5600 Union Pactfic; 10,700 Tobacco, 25,200 Steel; 6400 do pre- ferred: 29,000 People’s Gas; 5400 Colorado Fuel ;;d" Izm; 1_(31-’!3 General lectric; all; ope and Twine. 00 Sugar; 11, Leather; 11,300 do preferred; €800 Rub{er; E& Bt.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The markets here were dull at the opening, fearing sales from Paris, but prices there were firm, though there was less business. Amer- icans again occupled the chief attention. Lon- don bought from the start. Brokers' business was not very large, but there was heavy house trading. New York was inclined to ell at the start, but later sought big blocks and the close was excited at the top. Morgan interests led all day. Heavy options were offered in Cen- tral Pacific and Atchison preferred, the latter at half for the single option to end Wwith the month. Copper shares wi strong. Tintos made a fresh record at Anacondas were 66%. Part of the gold engaged vesterday was taken by the Lazards, part by the Rothchilds, intended for St. Petersburg. Gold is in good demand at T7s 10%d.

Senti- ment from the start was bullishly inclined, | and at the close offerings were very light, even at the higher level, with buyers almost panic stricken by the remarkable firmness ap- parent on all sides. News from the West and abroad was fully as good as holders here had anticipated and was no small factor in induc- ing sellers to further advance asking rates.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.—Weakness and lower quotations at~ Liverpool, notwithstanding the firmness displayed here yestetrday, started wheat a trifie Jower. There were a few buy- ing orders at the start, however, and as there was very little wheat for sale, May, which opened 3@%c lower at 70%@70%, climbed slow- Iy and laborlously to 7i%c. When the initial buying orders were out of the way, prices be- gan_to weaken, and May sank irregularly to Ti@70%c. Heavy arrivals were given as the cause of a decline of }@lc at Liverpool. Speculative activity from the outside was sadly and conspicuously absent, and even the local crowd appeared tired of trying to guess the next vagary of a market swayed alternately by a dull shipping demand and certain pos: bilities connected with European dependen on this country for supplies. Russian stockl of wheat were reported at 19,334,000 bushels, against 14,600,000 bushels December 1 and 16, 000,000 bushels a year ago. More favorabi weather was reported from Argentina and th crop situation there was said to have greatl: improved, with prospects of a large export from that country, The market was de- pressed by the average bearishness of _the information, and May declined to M0R@Mi4c and closed at 70%e. A poor cash demand and a large accumula- tion of stocks weakened corn. Puts yvesterday were close to the market, and they tended to revent any important break. ay closed c lower. With no selling pressurs and a scattered out- side demand for July, oats ruled firm. May closed a shade iower An improved export demand for meats and higher prices for hogs strengthened pro- visions. The early advance was modified some- what by the heaviness of grains, but some of the day's gains were still adhering to the market at the close of the session.
