Very little of interest or Importance occurred in the New York market yesterday. Speculation was at a low ebb, and the trading was confined chiefly to the covering of ehorj contracts. A firm tone prevail ;d at. the opening and the first prices made were generally a fraction higher. Except for a flight reaction about 10:15 o'clock, the market was a rising one during the forenoon, but the volume of business was very light. Leading In the upward movement was Chicago Gas which rose 1V4 per cent, on hea'vy purchases credited to Inside interests which, it is claimed, are endeavoring to force the covering of shorts. Canada Pacific sold up Bay State Gas, 1; Consolidated Gas, JVi, and Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, 1 per cent. In the remainder of the list the gain was merely fractional.

Bav State Gas broke 1 per cent; Chicago Gas reacted , but rallied V, making a net gain of 7 per cent. New Jersey Central was in fairly good buying up to 1 o'clock, at which time an advance had , been established of VA per cent v m yesterday's closing figures. The purchases were made by belated shorts, and, when they ceased, the stock sagged off 1 per cent., leaving only an improvement of i,4 per cent.

The volume of business doing in pretty nearly every line of business is fully up to the expectations of dealers. Retailers have hardly finished taking account of the business of the past year and got their bearing for their future course, and as a consequence the diminished business incident to the advent of a new year has not been, fully recovered from. Dry-goods men re disposing of a liberal amount of goods, but 'find very little profit in the business. Trices of many staples have been cut to the quick, and one cannot see where any profit can be made on the goods from the manufacturer to the retailer. Even the grower of the cotton and wool is making no profit now. Grocers report remarkable almost phenomenal shading In prices of all staples, with a liberal amount passing into consumption. The business on Commission row is without special feature. The cooler weather will have a tendency to chtvk shipments of fine table goods and may advance prices if continued some days. On 'Change there was little show of animation. Wheat is dull, with no change in quotations. Corn is stronger, with ui a.lvance of c in bids. Ous are quiet.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS CISSED YESTERDAY. DISState Fair the Main Topic Considered Mayor Denny's Address Wool Growers In Session. The State Board of Agriculture commenced its forty-third annual convention at the Statehouse yesterday with an exceptionally large attendance. At the morning session President James M. Sankey made an address which was largely devoted to the State fair. He said the last fair was the most successful ever held, financially and otherwise, the gross receipts having been $31,507. Mr. Sankey feels that some help should be received from the State for the maintenance of this institution. Secretary Charles F. Kennedy and Treasurer E. J. Robinson made annual reports, which were accepted. The programme for the afternoon session included an address by Governor Claude Matthews, but when President James M. Sankey called the meeting to order at 2:30 o'clock he said he regretted very much to announce that Governor Matthews had found it absolutely impossible to spare even a few minutes from the preparation of his message to the Legislature. Mayor Denny was then Introduced. His subject was "The State Fair What It Was; What It Is, and What It Should and Will Be." Mr. Denny told of his first visit to the State fair in 186!. His next was in 1870, since which time he has missed attending the fair, but two or three years. He said that to be candid he was compelled to say that prior to the last year the general attractions were behind the times, but that better exhibits could have been secured under stronger encouragement. The location of the old grounds was unsuitable and should have been abandoned long before it was. The Mayor said that for years he had advocated a change in location. He complimented the board on its present beautiful site, and said that last year's fair marks the beginning of a new era in the history of the board. But he felt that there could always be at least four good days during the fair week at the grounds If the proper attractions are furnished. Those who bring exhibits from a distance can illy afford to do so for the advertise ment tney get in one or two days. The Mayor said the securing of the spectacular drama "Last Days of Pompeii" was an excellent plan, and some such attraction should be secured each year. In the address Mayor Denny made reference to the excellency of the St. Louis fair, and said that good racing is required these days to secure a large crowd. Robert Mitchell, of Knox county, -who has been a member of the board for twenty years, took exception to this sentiment, and expressed his thoughts in strong terms. He said the St. Louis fair is a small county fair by tne side of the Indiana fair. He said that wherever racing is encouarged, all kinds of gambling devices are to toe found, and the consequence is that the fair is no longer an educational exhibition, but a money-making scheme. The members of the board did not wholly agree with Mr. Mitchel, and a motion to have the Mayor's address spread upon the records of the asSDCiation was carried. A resolution petitioning the Legislature to pass some very rigid laws regulating the sale or all imitations of butter and cream was referred to a committee to report this morning. After a long discussion as to the best management for a fair association, the meeting adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning. THE GROWERS OF WOOL. The Economy of Sheep-RnlslnK the Point of Discussion. The ninth annual convention of the Indiana Wool Growers' Association met in Room 11 at the Statehouse yesterday afternoon, with the largest attendance in the history of the association, the interest in the proceedings being such that many wool growers not members of the association were present, and through the courtesy of the association txk an active part in the dicussion. The o ncers of the association are J. F. Tomlinson, of Fairland, president; Cal Darnell, of Indianapolis, vice president; J. W. Robe, of Greencastle, secretary, and J. L. Thompson, of Marion, treasurer. The first paper of the afternoon was by H. B. Howland, of Rowland, on "What Has Cross-breeding Done for the Sheep Business in Indiana ?' Mr. Howland approved, of systematic cross-breeding, stating that he had found the best wool came from a cross between the Cotswoid and the merino He also stated he had found that cross-bri sheep took better care of themselves than the pure breed. This paper brought out a lengthy discussion on the merits of crossbred and pure bred shgep, in which the fact developed that those sheep raisers who had devoted their attention to the raising of mutton rather than wool had cnade more money than the wool growers. "The Best Mode for the Common Farmer to Handle Sheep" was presented in a paper by J. M. Harshbarger, of Ladoga. He urged that every farmer cultivating forty acres or more should keep a flock of from ten to forty sheep. He had found that sheep were always profitable, and they were the best gleaners known. He could, he asserted, take the gleanings and the manure, burn the wool and still make money. Good grade ewes bred to a pure bred ram were money makers. Marion Williams, of lluncie. read a paper on "Little Things In Flock Management," the substance of which was "take care of the little lambs and the 'big ones will take care of themselves." He also discussed sheep raising under the following heads: Stock, husbandry, selection, breeding, wintering and shearing. In his paper, "What Advantage Did You Find in Handling Pure Over Cross-bred Sheep?" Sid Conger, of Flatrock, insisted on the superiority of the pure bred sheep as a wool raiser and money maker under favorable conditions. . "Is the Formation of Grade Flocks Practical at This Time?" was discussed in the affirmative by T. C. Phelps, of New Castle. He thought that the time was soon coming when the sheep raising industry would revive, and that no farmer could be successful without a flock of sheep. There were eleven papers on the programme, but owing to the lateness of the hour the last four were laid over until this morning's session, and the last paper read was by W. A. Guthrie, of Dupont, on the subject, "In What Way Do You Care for and Feed Your Flock?" A cross-bred with a little merino blood was no objection to him. He culled out all defective lambs and kept them separate from those he offered for sale. Before breeding he put his sheep on the poorest pasture he could find for a short time, and then transferred them to the best result being that they fattened quickly and by September. were in good condition and more likely to breed twins. He allowed the rams to remain with the sheep five weeks. As regards feeding he relied mostly on good pasturage and plenty of pure water. The Chair then appointed a committee on programme and a committee on expert judges to report at this morning's session, as tollows: Committee on Programme T. C. Phelps, New Castle; J. I:. Harkness, Knightstown! and W. A. Guthrie, Dupont. Committee on Hxpert Judges John L. Thompson, Gas City; S. W. Dugan, Franklin, and Marion Williams. Muncie. The association will hold its final session in Koom 11 thU morning, at 9 o'clock, when yesterday's programme will be completed and the election of officers for the ensuing year be held. liiiildlngr Permits.

CEEEALS UNCHANGED

CLOSED AT CHICAGO LAST NIGHT SAME AS ON MONDAY. Wheat Sold l"p l--c During: the Day on Reported Decrease of the Visible, hut Fell Off Again. CHICAGO, Jan. 8. After selling up lie in the expectation of a decrease in the world's visible supply, small receipts and fair exports, wheat lost Its advance on realizing to-day, May closing unchanged. Maycorn and oats also closed unchanged. Provisions finished slightly higher. There was nothing very encouraging for the bulls in the early news regarding the wheat situation, and yet the sentiment had turned in favor of the holders. With the English markets easier, Liverpool quoted from i,4d to Vid lower, and the Northwestern receipts, although light, still slightly in excess of those of last year, the market here was firmer at the opening and gathered (more strength as trading progressed. The total of the receipts at primary markets was 231,000 bushels, against 261,000 on the similar week a year ago. Export clearances were 214,000 bushels of wheat and the equivalent of 172,000 bushels in the shape of flour. The exporting countries of the world, including the United States and Canada, put afloat 7,996,000 bushels last week. Continental markets were quoted firm and somewhat higher at the opening, and were a shade stronger at the close. Liverpool also closed firm and with an upward tendency, according to a private cablegram. Some business for export was reported at St. Louis and some little at New York, but the telegram from the latter city said that spot wheat was hard to get and was bringing c premium over May for No. 2 red. which restricted business. The most favorable Item to the bulls was the expectation of a decrease in the world's visible. These constituted the principal items of the day's news, on which the heavy scalpers alternately bought and .sold. Business of any other sort was light. The price of May hung around 58c, 57c and 58V&C for half an hour at the start, gradually improved to 580.) but by 12:15 o'clock had worked down again to 58VsC There was free realizing near the linish, and May sold down to 58c, where it closed. Corn was very dull, and for the most part worked up or down, according as wheat was strong or weak. It opened a shade under the value it closed at yesterday, at 47 47c for May, and after declining to 47c for a second or two it improved by about the middle of the session to 47c. Later In the day. when wheat became weak, corn followed the funeral in a mourning coach and returned to about its starting point The receipts were 554 cars, but for tomorrow 250 are all that are looked for, and the latter expectation prevented the market from going as far in a bearish direction as wheat encouraged it to go. The closing price for May was 47MsC, which was bid. , Oats were only fairly active and fell off a. shade in value, owing to quite free offerings and a continued disposition on the part of buyers to hold Jack. Later, however, the developing strength in corn created a similar feeling In oats. The demand improved considerably, with a great many buying orders from the outside. The market remained firm right up to the close. May started at 30304c, sold at 30c, up to 31c. and closed at 30'4c bid. Provisions were in the main firm, sustained by good speculative buying. The opening was at slight declines on liberal hog receipts, and after narrow fluctuations May pok showed a gain at the finish of 7c. May lard a loss of ,02'c, and May ribs closed unchanged.
