Wheat Goel TJp on Warlike News, Then Recedes on Peaceful Knmors, and Strengthens Aain on the Tone or the President's Messajre Corn and Oats Weak. CHICAGO Wheat started strong and higher tills morning. There was consider able speculative DuyinaOn the Chilean situa tion, and shorts were covering for tho same reason. Another bullish feature was tho supposition that tho visible snnply would show a decreaso of about 1,500,000 bushels. May started at S393c, against 320 at tho close Saturday. Then the market weakened and became quiet Private messages re ceived from Washington say that President Harrison would be satisfied with a proposi tion from Chile to arbitrate, which caused the market to-become weaker still, aud then the posting of the visible supply 'showing a decidodlv smaller decrease than had been looked for, caused a slump, May going down to 91Jc. Mora strength was shown late In the ses sion on the tone of tho President's message and a report that there was an error in tho visible supplv statement, and on the strength in provision1-: there wero several fluctuations within the established ranjfe, and the inai ket closed steady at 92"c. .Com firmer and slightly higher early, in sympathy with wheat, but weakened with it later and closed with a loss of 4c on May, though the near futures wero relatively firmer. O.tts followed corn. Iloa products strong and higher on the moderate receipts of hogs. The active buy ing by shippers weakened the market som, but towaid the close grew excited and ad vanced sharply owing to covering by shorts on an unconfirmed rumor that the Govern ment was buying pork. The close was at about the best figures of the day and at a material advance. The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor rected li John M.

Strong Position of the Market En couraging to Operators. SOME OP THE LATEST MOVEMENTS. Building Statistics and New Corporations Involving Millions. FEATURES OP MONET AND SPECULATION If ot for months has there been such a de mand for real estate or so many significant transactions as at the present time. These show a full measure of confidence in the continued prosperity of the city. "What with no end of plans for downtown im provements, building projects in the sub urbs, schemes for new subdivisions wlier- ever acreage can be secured and large sales, the situation is surely encouragiug enough to give comfort to all operators in realty. Tho Latest Movements. A number of transactions came to the surface yesterday. The Boatman's Insur-, ance Company property on "Wood street changed ownership for $58,000. The pur chaser is the new Guarantee Trust Company, chartered a few days ago. The lot isl9JxC0, with a three-story brick building. Rumor, had it that the sale was made by Black & Baird, but it was too late to see them for verification. Joseph P. Reed sold his South Highland residence lot 60x140, with a good two-story brick house to Mr. "Wolf, ot the Hostetter Coke Company, for 513,000. The place will be occupied by the purchaser. Pittsburg agents completed the sale to Nicola Bros., for George D. Riddle and others, of a tract of "West yjrginia oak and poplar timber land. The tract is in Roane county, near Spencer, contains over 2,000 acres and is said to be as fine as any in the State. Land is quoted at abont 510 an acre in that locality. Paul H. Hacke sold to Edwin Lare a lot, 22x110, on Penn avenue. Fourth ward, be tween Third and Fourth streets, upon which there is a large and substantial brick stable, for 16,000. The purchaser will convert the building into a warehouse for his personal use. The"$50,000 mortgage put on record last week, and referred to at the'time, was to se cure deferred payments on the lot in the Baumplan, purchased some time ago by the trustees of Christ Church as a site for the new building. The two downtown deals which have been discussed and written up and down for two or three months were reported yesterday to be in good shape, with prospects of being brought to a head this week. Building In the West. Building statistics of New York and Philadelphia, recently given in this column, showed that results fell hort of expecta tions. "Western cities fared better. Oper ations in St. Louis last year involved nearly as great an expenditure as in 1890, while the number of buildings erected was larger. Permits were issued calling for an outlay of 13,262,170. Milwaukee, in proportion to size and population, did better than St. Louis, expending more than 10,000,000 in new structures. Next to Chicago, St. Louis and Milwaukee, of all "Western cities, made a growth that should be gratifying to their citizens and property owners. The effects of the tight money market were felt more or less all over the country. A tVepk'g Corporation Record.

HOME SECURITIES. LAST -WEEK'S BULGE OP ACTIVITY MOKE THAN 31AINTAINED. The Market StUl Full or Good Features' . Central Traction Shows Backbone Phil adelphia Gas and New York and Cleve land Gas Coal Move Up. Proverbial blue Monday had no standing on the Stock Exchange yesterday. The in terest of lat week was not only maintained but intensified. There were several new and Intel estlns features. Central Traction scored a Dig advance on a good buying demand based on expecta tions of a favorable decision In the High street case and expectations of a good state ment at the ensuing meeting. It held the improvement to the close, with orders un filled. Philadelphia Gas was tho subject of re newed interest and was in good demand at a fraction above S.itnrdaj' s last quotation. Some of tho orders were said to be of home conception, hut the bulk, as on former occa sions, were nodoubt of Eastern origin. Wheeling was conspicuously wek. Birmingham and Duquesno Tractions were Interesting, as they have been lor some time, hut neither of them made an advance on Saturday's prices. In fact, they were a sliade weaker. Luster braced up a little under a rally by its friends. Switch and Signal opened strong anU higher, but weakened and finished at the lowest point of the day. New Yoik and Cleveland Gas Coal advanced to 50 bid and Chartiers Block Coal to 40. Tho rest of the list was featureless.

THE M4BKET RULES WEAK "WITHOUT THE HELP O T CHILE. Professionals Knlo tho Share List A Period of Strength Sandwiched IJetweea Two Heavy Drives Hailroaa Bonds Qoiet "With Quite a Fair Ktninrsi. New York, Jan. 25. The stock market to day was almost entirely in tho hands of tho professional element, and their efforts re sulted in a generally lower market, though most stocks show only fractional losses. Tho whole list was under the hammer from time to time, especially in the first and last hours, and the short interest now in the market is very heavy considering the size of the mar ket. The lower prices to-day were almost entirely dne to the efforts at depression, and when the pressure was removed dullness and firmness marked the dealings. The renewal of war news on the Chilean situation was again used to make a scare, I but had, apparently, little effect, and it is tne opinion ot the heaviest ana most con servative financiers that the effect of a war would be to make active business and ad Vance prices in Wall street. On the strength of the threatening aspect of affairs, how ever, the market was opened from ya to 1 per cent lower than Saturday's final prices, but while Lackawanna showed the extreme loss at tho opening, it could not be kept down, as there wjere rumors of a corner and some buying for cash, while it loaned at a premium of 1-64, and it shot up neaily 2 per cent. There was more success in the In dustrials, however, and Sugar dropped 2 per cent, and Distillers', on vague rumors, lost almost an ot its advance 01 saturaay. Tho cessation of the pressure and the cov ering of shorts rallied the list to beyond the level of first prices. The strength in Man hattan on the late decision in favor of the company, helped to place prices on a mate rially higher level. Dullness became the principal feature, and late in the afternoon prices again yielded when a renewal of tho morning's pressure was made, and every thing ran off rapidly except Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred. The losses sustained in addition to those of the opening wero marked in most of the leading active shares, Louisville, C. G, C. & St. L., Burlington and Lacka wanna being specially weak at the time. The market closed active and weak under the pre-sure, at about the lowest prices of tho day in most cases. The final losses of note include Wheeling and Lake Erie and Louisville, each 1: Rock Island, IV; Sugar, G, G, C. & St. L., Burlington, Distillers, and Wabash preferied, each 1, and Northwest ern, 1 per cent. The total sales of stocks to-day were 307, 512 shares, including: Atchison, 9,200; Chi cago Gas, 22,810; Delaware. Lackawanna and Western, 8,720; Erie. 8,S25; Louisville and Nashville, 10.850; Missouri Pacific, 3,171; Northwestern, 5,933; Northern Pacific pre ferred, 12,757: Beading, 16,540; Richmond and' West Point, J2.99S; St. Paul, 14,310: St. Paul and Omaha, 9,300: Union Pacific, 7,480. Railroad bonds were more quiet than usual of late, but a fair business was trans acted and the demand kept a firm temper tn the market, despite the weakness in the share list. Tho Chicago and Erie incomes, South Carolina incomes ana Union Pacific notes were the active specialties, furnishing 167.000, 213,000, and 335,000 respectively, to the day's total of 2,394,000.
