WHERE EGGS ARE HUM
PRICES BOOMING IX THE SAX
FRAXCISCO 3IARKET.
Advances of From Two to Three
Cents All Along the Iiinc Grain
Dealings More Active.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 20. (Special.)
Eggs furnished some excitement In the dairy
products market. The demand for fresh goods
greatly exceeded the supply, and prices
boomed. California ranch selected and firsts
advanced 3 cents, all grades of California
etore 24 cents and all grades of Eastern
oold-storage 2 cents, the whole market clos
ing strong. Butter was steadier, but un
changed. California fancy cheese In flat de
clined 4 cent. All grades of California cold'
utorage che are nominal. Receipts, 37.500
pounds butter, 3S00 pounds cheese, 20.430
dozen eggs.
Grain speculative dealings were more ac
tive Wheat and barley options, chiefly De
cember deliveries, had a lively advance on
short covering and the natural reaction from
the recent dVcllne. Cash price for these and
other cereals were steady. Wheat receipts
from tho north were heavy, but the bulk had
ben sold ahead.
Hops are firmly held, but prices are' no
higher, though holders ask alwve current
rate, which are still 7 to 11 cents.
As expected,, receipts of oranges, chlrfly
for the open market, had a large increase.
but prices remained firm under a good de
mand. Only two carloads were available for
the auction where fancy navel told at $1.7r9
2.20 and choice at $1.7691:00. Other citrus
fruits were stead). Fancy apple were firm.
Bananas were abundant and easy.
Potatoes were quiet and weak, except for
fancy. Five carloads of Oregon, mostly poor
stock, arrived. Receipts of onions Included two
carloads of Oregon and three Southern. The
market was weaker. Fancy Oregon sold at
$1.30.

UMBLE IN STOCKS
Declines Are General in the
New York Market.
NO SUPPORT FORTHCOMING
List Is Closely Affected in Sympathy
AVI th Course of Reading Close
Is Almost Demoralized and -Losses
Arc Heavy.
NEW YORK. Jan. 23. The mixed tone of
peculation on today gave place in the late
dealings to another sharp selling movement,
leading, up to the weak and disorderly clos
ing. The support accorded the market dur
ing the early part of the day had some ef
fect In reaasurlne sentiment and in dtMlpat-
lng the effect of the forced liquidation of
Saturday In a few of the most speculative
stocks. It became evident as the day prog
ressed that the cessation of the acute pres
sure of Saturday was not resultant of any
large renewal of speculative demand for
stocks. The wavering fluctuation or tne
day were followed by general declines under
the pressure of widely extended liquidation.
The motive for the buying In the late stages
of the mcst sensational advances in the mar
ket have been almost enttrely limited to the
belief that there was other buying on a
large ecale. Last week's determination,
which was clinched by. the sharp drop on
Saturday, that Important selling Instead of
buying was going on, deprived the specula
tive enthutlasm of Its principal motive
With the reaction fairly In force, attention
was readily given by the speculative element
to suggestions of an unfavorable purport
which have passed unheeded for many weeks.
although quite aa obvious as they are today.
For Instance there was a sudden recrudescence
of apprehension over threatened legislation
and legislative investigations. The move to
Investigate the state banking department at
Albany was dres-ed out with many alarming
possibilities In Its effect on the banking po
sition in New York City. A fear waa ex
pressed that a contraction of credits will fol
low. The resolution In the House of Repre
sentatives at Washington to Investigate the
combination of subsidiary railways under the
eentrol of the Pennsylvania had a similar effect.
The tone of the reports from railroad traf
fic officials was slightly more conservative
than of late the ealng of the car situation
being admitted. The expanding tendency of
the loan account of New lork banks ana
the seeming Imminence of an outward move
ment of gold caused some effect on the re
cently prevailing confidence over the eaclng
tendency of the money market. Interior banks,
which placed loans In New York on their own
account during the money stringency, arc
now calling these loans for redeposlt In New
York banks, and this Is. said to be a prim
faetor In the large expansion last week of the
loan account of the New York banks.
The stock market was cloeely affected In
sympathy with the course of Reading. Whll
that sr&ck was strong, the general list held
well, and Union Paclflc. St. Paul. Amalgam
ated Copper and the Rock Island Issues made
Mine anrresslve show of strength, the last
named on the favorable report of net earnings
for December. When the lightness of the
speculative demand for stocks had been dem
onstrated and the downward course or prices
establlsh-d. the decline became rapid. Stop
loss orders were uncovered and speculative
holdings were thrown over with precipitation.
The market closed In a state of peml-demor-
aMzarton and at net declines running between"
2 and ever 6 point for all of the most prom!
n'eni stocks.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value.
$3.2S,OU0. United States 2s declined !l per

General Selling at Start on Sharp
Decline at Liverpool Later News
Proved to Bc In Favor
of the Bulls.
CHICAGO, Jan. 29. The wheat market
opened extremely weak under a general sell
ing pressure. Initial quotations on May were
4Hc lower, at 844S44c The cause of
the decline was the sharp falling off In the
price of wheat at Liverpool, because of the
unexpectedly large volume of world's ship
ments, the total movement for the week be
ing 10.120.000 bushels, against S.3O4.0OO buah
ela for the last week. At the end of the
first hour the news of the day became more
favorable to the bulls. A report from Minne
apolis declared that stocks of wheat at that
point had Increased only 50.000 bushels during
the last two days and the demand for cash
wheat was said to be excellent. The visible
supply statement showed an Increase of but
42.000 bushels, when an Increase of 500.000
to 1.000,000 bushels had been generally ex
pected. Active coverings by shorts com
menced and commission houses bought freely
during the last halt of the session. These
things caused a complete recovery from the
early loss. The highest point of the day for
May wheat was reached at 844385c. The
market closed steady with May off a shade
at S4ii&4tic
After a weak opening the corn market be
came steady. May opened 4Uc lower, at
134644c. sold up to 444c and closed eteaaj
and a shade lower, at 44444c.
There was much profit-taking in oats eariy
in. the day. and the market was weak. The
decline brought about a lively demand.
which resulted In a steadier feeling. May
opentd 44c lower, at 3040304c sold up
to 304c and closed at the highest point.
Provision had a strong undertone. Receipts
of hogs were below the estimate and the
weekly exports of lard were double these
