advices, but in the absence of any decided
selling pressure prices rallied and slowly
advanced, closing slightly higher, at about
the highest figures of the day. Liverpool
rallied before the close, the receipts at the
ports and the interior towns W’ere light,
the southern spot markets were firm, the
local spot market was higher and more
active and shorts covered, while there was
a some new investment buying. The ral
ly in Liverpool was due to small estimates
of the quantity to come into sight cabled
from this side. The trading was quiet,
and local, and devoid of new features.”
DRY GOODS.
New York, Jan. 19.—The Journal of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, in
its weekly review of the dry goods trade,
says; “Although there have been no im
portant developments in the market here
during the past week in cotton goods, the
tendency has been tow.ard an improved
business, and at the close the general
tone shows a slight gain in cheerfulness.
Buyers have been in very fair attendance,
helping business along somewhat on the
spot at first hands and imparting a more
active appearance to the jobbing trade,
whilst the orders coming to hand by mail
have overrun recent averages. It is note
worthy that the gain has been made en
tirely in the way of small to quite moder
ate transactions, there being no disposi
tion evinced on the part of buyers to in
dulge in fuller individual operations in
any direction. It is clear that the general
run of cotton goods buyers are working
on close stocks and an expanding busi
ness under such conditions is an encour
aging indication of a considerable dis
tribution in progress throughout the coun
try. Although more cheerful in senti
ment, the market is not actually any
firmer than a week ago.

New York, Jan. i9.—Advances In the
stock market were quite general to-day.
The reactionary tendency on yesterday,
due to extensive realizations and sales
for the short account, ended abruptly with
the opening of business this morning. The
business of the London market, the re
duction of the discount rate of the Im
perial Bank of Germany and advices from
Washington that the Cameron resolutions
on the Cuban question would be shelved,
al) contributed to the strength of local
reputation. Before the expiration of the
first half hour of business, Sugar ran oft
a point on the announcement of a reduc
tion of l-16@%c in the prices of refined
sugarsi, and the general list receded %@
4 per cent, in sympathy, but the decline
was soon recovered, and as the day wore
along, material advances on the figures of
yesterday were recorded. The recogniz
ed bulls gave their specialties effective
support and commission houses generally
reported numerous outside orders, the de
mand being stimulated by the reaction
of %@1 per cent., and the inability of the
bears to shake out long stock. The con
tinued low rates for money also exerted
an important influence on the security
markets. Consolidated Gas led the up
ward movement, rising 3% per cent, on
rumors that the efforts making at Al
bany to reduce the price of gas from
$1.25 to sl, will result in a compromise.
Manhattan and Spirits jumped about 2
points. Chicago Gas rose 1% per cent.
There has been heavy inside buying of
this stock for some days on the belief that
the board will permit the constituent com
panies to consolidate in the near future.
The dealings aggregated 227,331 shares, and
were well distributed. Speculation closed
firm in tone at a small reaction from the
highest. Net changes show advances of
%@l% per cent., Sugar leading. In the
specialties. Consolidated Gas gained 3%
per cent. The bond market was firm. The
transactions aggregated $2,237,000.

Chicago, 111., Jan. 18.—If there was any
feature to the wheat market to-day, tt
was the Insufferable dullness which ex
isted. Until within a few minutes of the
close, there was scarcely an opportunity
to make either side a profitable play, the
margin being so narrow that buyers or
sellers could do nothing. The complaint
of the absence of orders was unanimous,
the large houses as well as the small,
finding nothing. May wheat opened from
75%n, sold 80%c@79‘/4c, closed at the in
ajite—%<- under yesterday. Cash wheat
was weak and 14 cent per bushel lower.
The feeling In corn was a little better
than yesterday’s weakness would lead the
trade to expect. The selling was In excess
of what discretion should have suggested,
and In restoring themselves to a position
that consistent with the general specula
tive situation in this grain, operators
were forced to accord support to prices.
