NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The news that General Buller had crossed the Tugela River in force caused a confident open- ing at the Stock Exchange here to-day, but the falure of the public to respond to the encouraging tidings caused prices to stick after midday. The action of the Bank of England directors in reducing the minimum discount rate from 7 to 4% per cent hoisted consols, but in some quarters it was looked upon as paving the way for a fresh Government loan. Americans opened at an advance, but there was no buying and prices sagged on New York supplics of stock. The Argentine Republic took gold to the amount of £10,000. The strength of the Bank of England's week- Iy returns is due to the seasonable inflow of money from the provinces. Money and bills were again weak. Discount houses have re- duced deposit rates % to 2% per cent, calls o 2% per cent with notices. Forelgn exchange rates to-day were: Parls, 25.20; Berlin, 20.45%. Silver was firm at & lower level.

T S A T S gy CHICAGO, Jan. 18.—The scanty array of news to-day served its daily purpose of em- | phasizing the fact that the supply of wheat §s away over the present demand. The ses- ston was dull with put and call transactions eliminated, as per the Board of Trade edlct | of yesterday, with a steady stream of wheat going out weakened prices save toward the close. At the opening with Liverpool lower, crop reports favorable and the Argentine with | an alleged exportable surplus of 72,000,000 | bushels, May at 6:32@@%c showed a loss over | night of %@%c. A little buying early ad- vanced the market to 8%@6i%c. From that the price generally sank with occasional fits | of steadiness to 64%c for May. Near the end of the session a private cablegram brought confirmation of the report of damage to the French crop by frost.

The corn market had its usual supply of supporting news at command, ~wet weather, small offerings and steady cables—but the in- fluence of a_ weak wheat market was just strong enough to hold the price dowm y Closed stepdy, %c under yesterday. The oats market was sluggish, May closing %g depressed. "Ihe significant feature of the provision mar- ket was the dullness of trade.
