ALEXANDER G. McADIE, | | 0. Forecast Official. EASTERN MARKETS. \ New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—There was a con- siderable disturbance of speculative sentiment in the stock market to-day and the movement to sell gained increasing force. The weakness became rather acute in the final hour, when the | heaviest selling of the day was done, and the market closed active and weak and generaily at the lowest, net losses running all the way | from 1 to 6 points for the principal stosks. “There were some Special causes of Weakness of individual stocks, wnich amected tne gen- eral market by sympathy to some extent, out the movement as a Whoie Was due to general | causes. wnicn have been gaining an inuuence | for several aays paet. Al mumor dilerences of interpretation over the standing of the case aganst the Northern Securities Company are £3nK- in the general consideration that tne le- gality of the combination is to be submitted 10 determination ‘by the courts, and that the value of its securities is to be in abeyance during a probable prolonged litigation. ‘Ine | Learing of the decision on other combinations not only those made but some others in con templation, makes the decision of this case of vast importance to the whole cecurities mar- ket. The difficulties developed in the several industrial combinations which have suffercd from impaired credit have given rise to a much more conservative spirit among _lenders o | money and buyers or securitics. To-day’s up- | set in the grain markets resulting from over commitments in speculation, brought some li. quidation directly on the stock market. N sides these general considerations, Wail Street had rumors that a new bond issue by the Erie Railroad Company was imminent and on these stocks of the company declined 1% and 2% per cent. The Atchisons were heavily sold on continuing dissatisfaction over the debenture bond issue. Aside from these instances, the selling was pretty well distributed. Thre was | a period of some strength in the morning, led by Manhattan with a rise of 1%, but that stock fell with the rest of the market. Glu- cose rose 3% in the face of the general decline. | Sterling exchange was somewhat easler, lead- | ing to the supposition that gold may not be ex- | ported, after all, this week, but the market was little affected by this deévelopment and by the liberal gains of cash on sub-Treasury ope- rations. The payment to-day of §600,000 In re. demption of the Hawalian loan assumed by the United States will accrue to the bemefit of the: market. Active bonds were weak in sympathy with stocks, but some less active issues held early gains.’ Total sales, par value. $3,675,000. United States bonds were ail unchanged on the last call. The announcement this morning that a prom- inent grain trader had failed to meet his obli- gations, having been caught heavily long on wheat, ‘corn and rve, on_country account, aroused great excitement for & time on the | Produse Exchange. which was attended by a | { decided break in prices. May wheat dropped over 1c a bushel and corn %c. BIg stop-loss orders were reached on the decline and through- out the day nervousness prevailed in wheat and corn. The country was an especially big seller, bhaving been a persistent bull for the last month | or so on slender margins. One local trader covered 100,000 bushels of rye in Chicago at 60 cents, the lowest price it has touched. In the afternoon exporters came in and bought about thirty-five loads of wheat, with rumors that upward of seventy loads would be worked before the day Wwas out.- This rallied the late market Joc and closed it steady.

ES - * CHICAGO, Jan. 14.—There was tumpit to- day in the grain pits, For a time a panic of depression threatened everything. All cther news was subordinate to the fallure of George H. Phillips to advance margins on his deals and the consequent unloading many millions of bushels of cereals. After the early wide and rapid fluctuations and a heavily short market had absorbed the Phil- lips stuff, to the profit of many & bear, the markets ‘quieted and gradually came under usual influences. The close was much better than had been expected. May wheat suffered a net loss of Y5c, May corn %@%¢c, May oats %@%c and rye 8¢, Provisions closed independent, 10g123c to 15@17%c higher. When just before the opening of the board the motice was posted at the request of Phil- lips that houses having open deals Wwith him close them out at once, traders became badly frightened. Late last night it was known that Phillips was in a tight pinch to make good his margins because of the small raid on his rye deals inade yesterday. Bears in the wheat pit began augmenting the size of the load of long wheat which rumor credited him with. Bulls who had been wavering for the past few days became frightened, and the result was that when the starting gong sound- «d May wheat was selling 1c to 1%3@1%c down at 80%4@80c. Such prices were bargains to the heavily short bear crowd and everywhere covering was the feature. But liquidation both by longs and the Philiips houses kept up at a tremendous rate. The Phillips stuff was estimated at five and a half millions, almost | all of which was put out at the very start. The large short accouit is credited with hav- ing saved the market from a panic. Cover- ing and some late bull support put the price for May up again to 8llic, but the effect of the failure was still felt, and the market sagged to 80%c. By the noon hour the usual conditions began to have their effect and the market quieted down. The slightly lower cables which were overlooked at the opening showed but a small reflection of the weak- ness in the market yesterday and the con- tinued reports of no moisture in the winter wheat belt helped press prices upward again. Some bulls came into the market at the low prices and May closed barely weak, %c down, at B1@81ikc. 3 Corn opened weak and lower. The selling for the Phillips account was estimated jat half a million bushels. Reactions were the same &= jn wheat. May opened 1%@1%c to %@%c down at 64i4@6bc. Selling orders were much in evidence throughout the session. The cash situation was dull and the salvation of the pit rested almost entirely on the covering of the heavy short accounts. After the opening slump there was a sharp reaction to 85%e. slightly above vesterday's close. The advance was lost, however, when wheat weakened again. There was some attempt at bulling and late in the session the reaction brought a close only slightly weak, %@%c lower at 65%c. Oats had the same troubles to contend against as the other pits. There were about 600,000 bushels sold here to close the Phil- lips deals. As In other markets, shorts were This pit, however, showed a considerable_importance at the opening. May started %@7%e lower at 45c, slumped to 44%4c, but jumped back quickly to 48%c, %e higher than yesterday. A good many traders who sold short at the opening were caught for losses, but after the early excitement trade quieted down and eased materially. Bulls did not attempt much support to this mar- ket. May closed steady, »*@%c lower, at 45%c. Rye, the pit which caused all the trouble, had the hardest day of all. Yesterday the ““fancy” deal which Phillips is said to have started was ralded by one or two elevator concerns and at one time there was 3c depres- sion. Support had buoyed prices up, but brokers became afraid of the Phillips deals and had demanded the full 10 per cent mar- gin. He was understood to be over 1.000.000 bushels long and when his closing notice was posted at the opening May prices were 4%@ 5%c down at 62@6lc. The heavy liquidation that began at once was more than this usual- Iy emall pit could stand, and May dropped even to 60c. At this figure short covering and long buying by a prominent house which absorbed nearly all the Phillips stuff brought a reaction to 65c. The close was weak, 3¢ lower, at 63%ec. Provisions showed marked strength and in- Gependence immediatelv after the opening. At the start there was a depression on the grain slump, but outside buying and an fm- proved hog market buoyed prices to a firm close. May pork closed 15@17lic up; lard 7%@10c higher, and rib8 10@12%c advanced. The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles— Open. High. Low.

BOSTON, Jan. 14—With a falr demand noted and prices strong in the wool market here the outlook is very favorable. Manufac- turers are keeping in close touch with the mar- ket and are taking fair lines from time to time at present prices.

Phillips on the Chicago Board of Trade was the sen- sation yesterday and lowered prices all over the world, though the decline was slight, as powerful interests stood under the market, ‘and the large lines of shorts out prevented a panic. Rye caused Phillips' downfall. He tried to transfer his holdings of Rye to, Armour, and 1t he could have done so might have weathered the crisis, but after some negotiation with Armour the latter declined to take the Rye, which at that time was 60c. Phillips ~was accordingly forced to throw up his hands, Rye dropped to 60c, the failure was formally an- nounced and Armour took in the Rye at 60c. ‘There were =old for Phillips’ account 5,500,000 bushels of wheat, 1,250,000 bushels of rye, 400,000 bushels of corn, 600,000 bushels of .oats and 8000 barrels of pork. Wheat, of course, as very nervous and excited under the fail- ure, but there were more buyers than sellers at the decline, and the Northwest bought freely. Bradstreet's gave the world's supply as fol- lows: East of the Rockies, a decrease of 1,328,000 bushels; Europe and afloat, an in- crease of 800,000; net decrease, 525,000 bushels. Liquidation was the feature at New York. This market was active on call at unchanged prices, but shipping grades advanced a frac- on.
