NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—There was increased metivity in the stock market to-day, but the dealings did not rise much over half a million shares and were largely congested in the few stocks which were favorites in speculation. Professional manipulation had not a little to do with the advance in prices at some points ®&nd the movement was clearly directed against the short interest, which had been accumulat- ng during the downward course of prices this week. The recovery from a recent illness of ® leading operator who is commonly credited with the leadership of the active forces of the market on the bull side was believed to explain an important part of to-day’s transac- tions. The factors which accounted for the rise were partly in the shape of value intima- tions and general aspirations and general sertions. rather than of explicit information. Thus, statements were circulated as to the phenomenal earnings of the anthracite carriers, which were asserted to reach 13 and 20 per cent for the leading high-priced stocks. There was no difficulty found in marking up these stocks and there was a very heavy demand at seme time for the lower priced stocks in the group, especially the Readings. There were t‘sumn: advances in Lackawanna of 11 points, ew Jersey Central, ex-dividend, 3, Readi vg’ and other members of the group 1 to te. The movement was extended in some meuun by Dympathy to some of the soft coslers. There was continued strength in the Eouthwestern raiiroads as a group at advances gf1to 3 points The Industrials were Strong, ated Copper. General Electric g the Jocal tractions showing gains of 1 to 2 . American Tobacco gained another 35 points to-day, selling at 235, with e later bid @t 245. This stock is exchangeable for 200 of Consolidated Tobacco 4s. There%ie satd o be less than 5 per cent of the stock still outstanding. Very glowing accounts were put out of the rate of expansion of the tobacco business. American Tobacco ferred gained € points. Late in the day St. Paul was bid up quickly nearly 2 points and other and Pacifics hardened in sympathy. This late movement was the effective factor in keeping the closing firm. as a vuverln‘ tendency hld g:\del;lnved"l l';!ffl;'! St. "‘PIIH ‘s rise.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: There .was a,pause in activity on the Stock Exchange to-day and enthusiasm was damp- ened by Lord Salisbury’s denial that negotia- tions looking to the termination of the Boer war were on foot. Consols fell 3% to 94 on the issue of £2,000,000 local loans on 3 per cent stock at 99, but that money is plentiful is shown by tiie result of the Cape Loan which has been subscribed twice over. _American ocke wers Gull and 1die all day, bt in the Btreet New York bid up the coalers and Union Pacific- a_point. Copper was steady at 46% the ton. Money is easy and the bank may re- duce the discount to 8% per cent if the next return is good. The present rate is 4 per cent, with the market demand weak at 3 per cent. This tends to keep the bank idle. New York Money Market.

Un- satisfactory wheat crop advices, not enough molsture being reported at the West and Southwest, were the sustaining features later, but the main element seems to have been the teawakening of a better export demand for wheat at the lower levels. Flour acted in sym- pathy with wheat and here also a better ex- port demand appears to have been evoked. Corn and ‘Dats went off in sympathy, but these cereals are sti]l above export levels. Wheat, \peliding flour, exporte fof the week aggregate 4,690, bushels, as against 3,507,- 710 bushels' last week, and 3,336,054 busheis in this week last year. wenihsat exports, July 1 to date (twenty.nine eeks), aggregate 158,004,473 bushels, as against 106 m'.im buahem Jast season, Corn exports' ageregate 298,093 bushels, againt 16575 boanels Just weok and 5,166,164 bushels last year.

Dun & Co.'s Weekly Trade Review to-morrow = will : Readjustment of prices continued during the second week of January, and the general aver- age reached a much lower point than prevatled when the year opened, Nothing has transpired to disturb the' bright outlook In the iron and steel industry. Footwear producers have at last made & gen- eral advance of from 2% @5 cents. Wholesalers bave not altered lists. , Hides are weaker, which is natural at this season. ‘Woolen goods opened lower than expected, and purchases were enlarged rather than stim- ulated by the declines. Changes were few and small, yet there had been such confidence in a higher level that the trade hesitated. Woolen and worsted yarns tend upward, Grain reacted sharply From the high point and a large Western operator was caught with more than he could carry. ed_liquidation ot this" long account fasilit the work of manipulators for a decline. Another unsatls- factory feature was the recent falling off in foreign demand, official figures for December showing smaller exports of wheat than for any month of the calendar year, although for six months of the crop vear the ap- Dokes o wain ot aboue 0,000,000 beshels’ oyor The Corresponding months. of 1600 or 1500, This week expbrts were 4,348,431 bushels, against 3,- 408,725 bushels a year ago. Corn _declined sharply, but still remains about 20 cents a bushel above the price last year...Exports In December were only about 3 per cent of the outgo in the same month of 1900, while for the week Atlantic ports sent out 138,674 bush- els, against 4,695,330 bushels a year ago. Pro- visions - weakened slightly in sympathy with grain, yet the higher level of prices in Decem- ber established a new monthly record in value of exports. Great activity occurred at the Coffee exchange, where speculators for o de- cline were successful, aided by enormous re- ceipts at Brazil ports and American stocks 150 per cent larger than were held a year ago. Failures for the week numbered 334 in the United States, against 325 last year, and 40 in Canada, against 43 last year. * New York Grain and Produce.

The local crowd seemed to have s0ld themselves to a standstill, and the de- mand was steadily broadening. The North- western Miller sald that there was a good de- mand in the winter wheat belt for Cuba and the South, but a poor demand for the Fast. It also said that the condition of winter wheat was improving under milder weather. Against this report, however, was the prediction by the Weather Bureau of rain or snow in the belt, accompanied by zero temperatures at some ol and this brought out a lot of long Wheat. New York reported less export busi- ness, with forelgn bids lower and out of line. The ‘same condition prevailed in the flour busi- ness, there being a falr demand for export, but at bids which were too low. This market was very dull at unchanged quo- tations.
