he advances Indifferently held.
There was come disposition to attribute this
ffect to a third widely expected event, name-.
the resumption of tbo campaign by pub-
lahed advertisement against the prices of
locks. There was not. In fact, any very pow-
rjul evidence of the dire effects threatened

CHICAGO. Jan. 3. The greatest strength .of
the wlieat market -was at -tba Immediate "'epea
lng. Initial Quotations in .Ma deliverr showed
a gain' of fliCc, at $1.15 to Sl.lWi.' The-prM-
clpal source of strength lay la the weekly
statistics. "World's shipments were 3.500.000
bushel smaller than the previous week. Fur
thermore, the quantity ef ocean shipments de
creased 7,326,000 bushels. In addition. - the
weather In Arrentina was unfavorable to. bar-
vesUng operations, being wet la all four prov
inces. The domestic eltuatlcn also was con
strued as favorable for the bulls, the arrivals
In the Northwest being much, smaller than J
those,: of last week. Late In Ihe day a rumor
that the visible supplies haj Increased nearly
2. 000, COO bushels caused a decided conunotloa
In the pit. For a time offerings were much In
excess of the demand. The result was a harpj
break In prices. May dropped to $1.13-
Offlclcl figure, however, failed to confirm the
sensational report, tbe Increase being esti
mated at only 001.000 bushels. The market
recovered a portion of the Iocs in -consequence,
of fair buying brought out by the more bull
ish aspect of the statistics, and closed easy,
with May c off at $1.14.
In consequence of the bearish character of
weekly statistics, the corn market exhibited
considerable weakness. May closed SSc
down at 44yjc.
The decline In corn had a depressing effect
on tbe oats market, prices showing a -slight
Iocs. May closed at 31C31c.
Considering a decline of 10c In prices of
bog?, tbe. provision market displayed Srmness.
At tbe close May . perk and lard were un
changed at $12.80 and'$7.02V7.C5 respective

Sewlng-Jil2chine Agents Strike
NEW TORK. Jan. 3. Sewing-machine
agents to the number of SCO have started
to inaugurate a strike here. Nothing; of
the kind has ever occurred before in tbe

KccenfV the agents determined that
their grievances were In need of adjust
ment. and called a meeting which result

the restoration of commlfstons recently
abolished, and readjustment of the sys

the company when dishonest purchasers
buy machines on the Installment plan
and then leave for parts unknown,
the machines only partly paid for.
