Wheat Opens Ealf a Cent Higher, but Ends the Day with arXet Decline. Corn Advances and Holds a Part of Its GainOats Steady to Finn Ilog Products Bhow Slight Irregular Changes. MONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS. The Market Rather Feverish, with a Strong Undertone Fractional Gains. NEW YORK, Jan. 7. Money oncallwas easy, ranging from 3 to 4 per cenL, the last loan being made at 3 per cent, closing ottered at 22 per cent Prime mercantile paper, T'SS1 percent. Sterling exchange active and strong at $4.82 U for sixt j-day bills and ti. for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day were 232,721 shares, including the following: Atchison, 13.CC0; Lackawanna, 4,13S; Louisville &, Nashville, 18,459; Manhattan, S.2G0; Missouri Pacific, 4, 1.7); North American, 13,754; Northern Pacific, 11,170; Northern Pacific preferred, 12,3)0: Reading, 4,624; Richmond & West Point, 5.9S0; St. Paul. 23,910; Union Pacific, 21.7K5. The stock market to-day 'was strong throughout, with a decided increase in orders executed by commission houses. Time money loaned at 5 per cent., and on the whole the outlook for the continuance of the upward movement is very favorable. The feature of the market to-day, however, was the change in front, apparent or real, of the foreigners, aod where they have been sellers of stocks steadily for the past four or five days, there was to-day an effort to get back those stocks without advancing prices. The announcement that the Louisville &. Nashvilla had declared a dividend, and that it was 2 per cent, in cash, had a most salutary eflect upon that stock in the early trading, making it the feature of the dealings throughout the forenoon. There were sales of it by the German houses, bowever, and the traders were bearishly inclined still, and some vigorous etlorta were made at times to get certain stocks down. The bearish fraternity were also much concerned over the possibility of a meeting tomorrow, but the general public, which is now in the market to a limited extent, allowed no apprehension but that everything would proceed as smoothly as may le desired. The pressure of short stocks upon the market prevented any material idvance in the general list, and gavo the market . a feverish tone which ' lasted throughout the entire session.- A strong undertone, however, asserted itself, and little or no impression was made upon the list. Louisville & Nashville had a spurt of activity and strength in the early trading, and was followed later by Pacific Mail. Sugar Refineries also displayed marked strength, wt'ch was found to be due to the covering of a large short-line in the stock. Jersey Central also made a sharp upward spurt in the later dealings, but lost a portion of the improvement in tho final dealings. The market, if anything, was narrower than that of yesterday, the bulk of the trading being confined more than usually to the few leading shares. The best prices were reached before 2 p.m., and, while some reaction was seen from tho highest points, the close was quiet and firm. The final changes are generally fractional gaius, but the only ones of importance were advances of 1 per cent., each, in Louisville, Union Pacific and Wheeling fc Lake Erie preferred, while Jersey Central is up 3 per cent. TJ a Hi-oar! l.nnHi TFro tint iniAA iii as yesterday, the sales reaching $2,197,000. but the same strength was displayed, and most of the final changes are in the direction of higher prices, with a few.losseshere and there. The active issues were again Atchison incomes and Northern Pacific Government bonds were dull and steady. State bonds were entirely neglected.

Wheat Opens High hat Declines Corn a Little Higher Oatt Steady. CHICAGO. Jan. 7. Wheat was firmer at the opening this morning than it closed on Tuesday afternoon, and the chan ge was ratherunaccountable. May wheat opened at 97 140 bid, with very little for sale at that price, and then trading was almost at the same instant at 17 c. As an explanation it may be assumed that some heavy "shorts" had concluded to cover their lines, for the advance was assuredly not the result of any heavy buyin g for the long account. The price worked back until it touched 9tf7gc, when a reaction to l7c took place. . During the period covered by the foreign fluctuations there were mauy iterua of news presented for the consideration of the traders, some of which favored a continuation of the advance, while others encouraged an opposite tendency. The points having a bearish tendency were the earliest to crop up and were as follows: There were reports of more Pacific coast wheat seeking a market here and it was being ottered at 11340 pr bu under price of regular New York No. 2 for May. Uradstreet's estimate of the change in the stocks in the elevators east of the Rocky mountains, during last week, showed an increase of C47.O00 bu. The stocks of wheat at Odessa, according to a dispatch received here from New xork, amount to 8,000,000 bu less than they were at the corresponding time lr.st year. There was nothing in the matters here referred to which could be coLstrued in a bullish sense, and the decline to 96?tto already referred to took place in consequence. The items which took on the other side of the market and under which the price once more worked up to 9739c, were the reports from Paris of the injury done to the winter wheat plant in that country by the severe frosv aud the danger of a similar disaster here from the predictions sent out from the Signal Service office that a cold wave was approaching. The prices kept well up for a time, touching V738'29734C on two occasions, but in the last half the market weakened and sold down rather rapidly in the end to 0t34C. and closed at that bid. The "straw that broke the back of the market was Bradstreet's figures showing the Pacitio stocks to he 12.944.000 this week compared with 11,200,000 bn on the week previous. The corn market opened strong on the small receipts. This caused prices to start at an advance of 14 to 3fcc, the first sales being at 52Va &c. There was trading at 5o8C for a short time, but as the call proceeded selling against privileges caused a reaction to 5-c The principal business of the day was done between 32"$ and 53c, with one dip to 52S4C The closing price for May was 52V253c. which is 14'33wo advance upon yesterday's final prices. There was a fair trade in oats, the market working steady and showing fluctuations only in the active future. May sold on the opening at 4.":,4C Thence the market went to 457.c. to 4.VVC, to 43 vc, theuce to 45340on the close. The provision market opened weak aud a shade lower on the heavy receipts of hogs and the lower prices reported from the yards. Some of the strength which was developed later came from the firmer tone to the corn market and some was due to purchases by Armour and other packers, who are naturally iudisposed to see their present magnificent manufacturing profits diminish for the want of a little judicious support May pork opened at 811.25, ranged Sioo, 51L20 to 11.43 and closed at $lLi.

Lard opened .Oc lower than it closed yesterday, but recovered the decline and closed . unchanged for May. Kits gained .022fi for May. Ihe leading futures ranged as follows:

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 7,-In nearly all departments to-day there was a good deal of activity, and it was an unusually good business day for the dry goodsmen.boot and shoe dealers and the grocers for so early in the year. But a brisk trade was looked for, as in December most of the retail merchants reduced their stocks to a minimum, and with the beginning" of the year they are disposed to replenish them quite liberally. In prices there were no important fluctuations. Su gars were steady at the reduction of Tuesday. A stronger coflee market is indicated. Canned goods and driedJruits are moving fairly. Still to bring about a more active demand a lower range of prices will needs be established. The produce men are busy. They are experiencing more trouble in getting the produce to rill orders than in selling it. Everything in the vegetable line sells readily at quotations, which are 50 to 100 per cent, higher than last year in January. The wool market East is in much stronger position, but there ia little wool to sell in this immediate territory. The Hour market is more active and prices, although not qnotably higher, are firmer. Other markets are without special feature. GRAIN. The local market carries a firm, steady tone, prices on some grades being slightly higher thau on Tuesday, wheat. No. 2 red. advaucing to 90c.

THE JOURNAL

In the various editions of the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL Home and Foreign Events of all descriptions are treated with a fullness and completeness not attempted by any other newspaper in Indiana. Among tho newspapers of the Stat it is preeminently the best, and Indiana readers can nowhere else find what they want in the way of State and local news. It circulates largely in every county in Indiana, and has correspondents in every town and village pf importance. This feature of the Journal, during the ensuing year, will be kept up to itc present high standard of promptness and accuracy, and the ervice will bo improved wherever it may be needed. The Journal's market reports are prepared with the greatest care possible and no pains or expense are spared to make them accurate and absolutely reliable. The Journal is the only newspaper in, the State owning and publishing all the news furnished by the two great press associations (the Western Associated Press and the United Press), in addition to which it furnishes an abundance of special service from all the principal cities of the country. It has been, and will in the future be, the aim of the publishers of the iNDiANAroLis Journal to furnish a perfect and complete newspaper, deficient in no department or particular. No Indiana reader, certainly no Indiana Republican, hould be without tho Journal.
