THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS, TUESDAY. JANUARY
NEW YORK SPECIAL.
Heavy Increase in Earnings of Some
Texas Lines--L. & N. Div-
idend Declared.
NO TARIFF LEGISLATION.
Prominent Republicans Say the Tariff. W
Be Let Alone—Cotton Was in a Rut.
Sterling Quiet
New York, Jan. 7.—(Special.)—The earn
ing;s of the Missouri, Kansas anil Texas
for the fourth week of December increase,
$71,238, and from July 1, $025,000. The Louis
ville and Nashville is earning 2Ms per cent
on Its stock. An effort will be made to
hold the Southern passenger association
together. The declaration of the regular
dividend by the Jersey Central was a sur-
prise, but it was considered a mistake, as
it was far from being earned. Sam Sloan,
who did not gO to the meeting, said after
ward that he supposed the board was dis
posed to discount a better future. The
stock sold up to W/-2, or 5% above its low-
est last week. Gas also declared its full
dividend and advanced to 75, closing at
73^4. Missouri Pacific further declined
per cent to 22%, but the balance of the
market was steady to firm, hopes of cur.
rency legislation and -the pooling bill hav
ing a favorable effect.
Bonds steady. Atchison fours, 64; sec
onds, 17%; Missouri, Kansas and Texas
fours, 81; seconds, 47V4; Texas and Pacific
seconds, 24%; International thirds, 29.
Prominent republican members wired
that there would be no tariff legislation
of any kind.
Silver Is more active; sales 250,000 ounces
around 60c.
Sterling quiet but dear; sixties, $4.87%
net; short, $4.8894. less commission; cables,
$4.89, less commission; documents, $4.86%<9>
4.87; choice acceptances sold above $4.871£,
Rather a big lot of outside bids came
but they didn't count up much.
Cotton was in a rut. Very fair Liverpool
advices were offset by the receipts, and an
easy feeling prevailed without being pro-
nouncedly bearish. Gruner thought prices
would go lower and that the crop would
be about 10,000,000 bales. Latham & Pey
ton considered cotton cheap enough. The
market closed neglected at about Satur-
day's prices.

THE POST'S CABLEGRAM.
New York, Jan. 7.—The Evening Post'
London cablegram says: The markets
were uncertain to-day. The rumored res
ignation of Sir William Vernon Harcourt
and of complication in the cabinet had
no effect on stocks, however. Americans
had a strong spurt on small buying in
the bear market on rumors about cur-
rency proposals by President Cleveland
and a possible issue of the United States
3 per cent bonds. Very little stock changed
hands, the buying was not influential and
there was a prompt set-back after hours,
The closing was dull. The trade returns
lrom December are not encouraging. Im-
ports decreased 3,500,000 pounds and ex
ports increased 233.000 pounds. Gold still
goes to P'rance from the open market.
NEW YORK DRY GOODS.
New York, Jan. 7.—It has been a slow
day in all departments of trade and little
business was done except in Indigo blue
prints and shirting prints, all the result
of reduced prices. Manufacturers have re
duced American indigo blue to 4^c; shirt
ints, 3V£c, Merrima<; B. indigo blue to 7Vjc
and shirtings to 6%c. Printing cloths dull
at 2%c, less per cent bid for 64-squnres,
and no sales. Agents are getting ready
to open heavyweight dyed worsteds,
serges, clays and mixtures.
GRAIN VISIBLE.
New York, Jan. 7.—The visible supply of
grain on Saturday, January 5, as com/piled
by the New York produce exchange is m
follows: Wheat, 87,886,000 bushels; de-
crease, 676,000. Corn, 10,627,000; increase,
1,042,000. Oats, 8,826,000; decrease, 236,000.
Rye, 450,000; increase, 5000. Barley, 2,881,-

Jlan- 7-—The number of good
fat 1200 to 1600 pound steers in the market
to-day was comparatively small and that
sort sold at about steady prices, but or-
dinary 1000 to 1300 pound steers and the
commoner grades of butchers' and can-
ners stock was weaker. Sales were re-
ported all the way from $1.25 to $1.50 for
cows to $5.50$ 5.75 for steers of extra
quality. The bulk of the stuff was weighed
at $3.75&a.00 for steers and at $2.00@3.00 for
cows and bulls. Hogs consisted for the
most part of light and medium weights,
and the demand was principally for heavy
hogs, but the market was not active. It
was hard work to get $4.20 for anything
less than 200 pounds and the greater part
of the light stuffs sold at prices ranging
downward from $4.15. Very decent 150 to
180 pound hogs sold at $4.00@4.05 and there
were many sales of common light at $3.55
J/3.90. Heavy weights were salable at
$4.60^4.70. Shippers 'bought freely. Sheep:
At the opening there was trading at
steadier prices, but there was a noticeable
softening later and the average of the day
was a trifle under last week's closing
price, the weaker, turn being the result
of large receipts. The close was at $1.25
to $3.50 for poor to choice sneep and at
$2.25^4.25 for limbs. Receipts: Cattle 18,000,
calves 300, hogs 43,000, sheep 18,000.

NEW YORK STOCK EXOHAiNGE.
New York, Jan. 7.—The declaration to-
day of the regular quarterly dividends of V2
per cent in Chicago gas and 1% per cent in
New Jersey Central, while not entirely
unexpected, were factors for strength in
these stocks and helped to strengthen the
general market. Another favorable influ-
ence was the good market for American se-
curities on the London exchange, which
had moved prices up so that arbitrage
buying was possible at a profit. Thiis for-
eign buying, supplemented by purchasing
by local traders, Imparted a strong tone
to the opening deals. (Missouri Pacific
about noon fell off about 1% from the
highest price of the mor-iDlng. Toward 2
o'clock the trading assumed a strong tone.
In the late dealings the entire market
gave away a fraction, and the market
closed heavy, but in most instances at an
advance on Saturday's final sales of 3'/2
per cent, the tatter in Northwestern pre-
ferred. The grangers were up %(&>% iper

MARKET* liY TKLEGIIAPH.
Chicago. 111., Jan. 7.-Despite the fact
that there was much bullish news to-day,
holders of wheat were anxious to sell and,
led by New York speculators, dumped
their grain upon the market in large lots.
As a consequence, May closed %c lower;
May oats closed %e lower, and provisions
finished with but little change. Wheat
began with signs of abatement in the de-
mand, compared with t'hat prevailing al
the close on Saturday. The majority held
May wheat for sale at 58%c, when the
market opened, and continued to press it
for about twenty minutes, at which time,
it had declined to 58%((/58%c. it was the
impression at the time that the visible sup-
ply would show a decline of not exceeding
250,000 bushels. Other news, statistical and
otherwise, was of a mixed Character, but
on the whole more favorable to the buying
than to the selling aide of the market.
The chief exception was the heavy Rus-
sian shipments, and as the visible supply
began to give further Indications of de-
creasing to a heavier extent than had been
expected, the market stiffened. May ad-
vanced to 58%c. The visible wheat showed
a decrease of 675,000 bushels, but the New
York speculators sold heavily, causing a
reaction. May closed at 58c.
Corn wan quiet and averaged weak. At
times when wheat was strong corn showed
some vim, but the selling was pretty free
as a rule, ;»i\d the tendency downward.
May sold at 4704c at the opening, closing
at 47%e.
Oats were quite active, yet the feeling
was easy and prices fell off, partly due
to sympathy with corn, and helped con-
siderably by free offerings, with a slack
disposition to buy. May started at 31c and
closed at 30%c.
Provisions started ea»y and the heavy
receipts of live hogs made trade dull. When
It was learned t'hat the quality of the ho;r
receipts was low, a reaction from the low
prices occurred and May pork closed un-
changed. May lard closer! 2%c higher and
May ribs unchanged.
