The . stock market yesterday cut loose from the foreign Influences that have recently affected It. The speculation was decidedly less feverish than heretofore, and Che volume of business showed diminished activity by the bear leaders. Previous to the opening London cables reported increased tension in European political circles and fractional declines in American securities at that center. Nevertheless, home prices moved sharply upward durjng the first hour of business, with the appreciation most na.rK.ra m me grangers, iouisviiie en isasnMill n rl I ka Vi i i I . ri , Imliipliil nl rtrk.s nit; aii'i nit uisn-iJiiivu iimuii iai ritaics. The market was strencthened by the re ported deposit of $50O,000 in gold In exchange lor greenbacks by a national bank. It developed later that the gold was simply deposited for examination, and would not figure In the treasury reserve. The absence of applications for clearing-house loan certificates by the banks, and an easy condition of the call money market,, al?o had a favorable effect. The market received a settick after 11 o'clock on selling for both accounts, but the Lulls soon reasserted them-pc-Ives, and the upward movement was returned, around 1 o'clock, under the stimulus of sharp advances In the anthracite coalers. The improvement in this group was inspired by the formal announcement that the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company would maintain the 7-per-cent. annual dividend rate on the stock in the current year. It is officially stated that the company earned in l5Wi about tii per cent., and that the deficiency will be" made up out of surplus earnings. The stock rose an Extreme 3 per cent. 3t had been alleged that the company referred to. In common with the other coalers, would, on account of the poor condition of the anthracite Industry last vear, fall severely below the normal dividend amount. 3t is understood that the largely increased earnings of the railroad almost counterbalanced the falling off in revenue in the coal department. In ordinary years the results would Ik? reversed. Sugar was manipulated upwards, partly in connection with a resolution of the stockholders at the annual meeting to-day, ratifying the policy of the manailment. Aside from the coalers, the improvements in the active; shares ranged from 1 to 2 per cent. The grangers were bought freely for local and Sv Paul and other hares for foreign account on reports of a freer movement of corn. A feature of the jjKiiivrt. icnuiiig sircngm was a revived sharp inquiry for Investment bonds. No gold was engaged for export on Saturday, but $2ti0,' in coin was withdrawn, presumably for Canadian account. The total amount of gold deposited at the subtrea.-ntry was $700 -0 none of which, as far as can be learned, .as fcr treasury reserve account. In the late dealings there was a sharp reaction, in which liquidation in Manhattan caused a rop of per cent., to 97. The other losses extended to Pi per cent, in Lackawanna. The close was heavy, but at general net advances. The railway bond market showed decided strength throughout the day, liberal gains being noted in many issues. The Reading c.asses wore the leaders in activity and improvement, figuring for l,07r,roo out of a total of $2.1V).W for the day. Southern fives improved 1 per cent., hut subsequently reacted li on foreign offerings. The gains extended to.2'4 per cent, la Chesapeake & Ohio four-and-a-halfs. Government bonds were Arm. State bonds Were dull. Thtf following table, prepared by James E. F.erry. Room 16. Roard of Trade, Ehows ths rung of quotations: Open- High- Low- CIo. lng. est. est. lag.

Trade Grudaally Improving EgK, Poultry nnd SuRiirit Louer, On the wholesale streets, sine the new year, each day has shown some Improvement In business. Still, through this month and early February no great volume of trade is looked for. The steadiness to prices Is a feature. In staple groceries only sugars are unsettled. Dry goods, provisions, drugs, iron and leather rule steady. The hide market has an advancing tendency still. On Commission row prices rule much as for some day4 past. Eggs drop back to 18c on !arg receipts, and poultry, with the exception of turkeys, is weak In tone on increasing receipts. Other markets are without feature.

THE BULLS J10UTED

BOTH LOCAL AND FOREIGN NCAVS TENDED TO DEPRESS WHEAT. Corn in Better Demand nnd Slight Gain ScoredProvisions Strong, All Lines Advancing." CHICAGO, Jan. 8, There was heavier trading in the grain markets to-day than for some time past and fluctuations were rapid. The sombre foreign stock outlook at lirst exercised a powerful influence, but as later news was more pacific, the markets yielded more to ordinary influences and eased off. Wheat opened irregularly at Clli CO-Tic sold to 61 He and closed at G0H 6014c, a loss of c compared with last night. Corn held Its strength better and closed Uc higher at 291&c, while oats .lost its early gain and closed practically unchanged at 19'4c. Provisions made substantial gains. Pork showed an advance of Ztc. lard .05 and ribs, 12c. Wheat opened strong, but very irregularly and under some little excitement. The first transactions In May were made over a range of lc per bu. or at from 60c up to 6IV2C. Only one or two trades were effected at the top and bottom prices, the bulk of the transactions during the first few seconds having been at C0c. The price rose and fell for an hour in mighty swells of active trading between eOUtlc, but after the first fifteen minutes of the session the tendency for the remainder of the hour was generally downward. The opening strength was the expression of the doubt In tho minds of the operators regarding the possibility of an Anglo-German war. After the opening struggle around 60v861c, there, was a gradual decline to 6'Jc and that was followed by a recovery, to 61c again, due to a report issued by Statistician Thoman, which gave the condition of the winter wheat plant in the six States which grow it most largely at 78.1, against 84.4 on Dec. 1, and adding that 78.1 Is the lowest statu of the plant ever recorded in the month of January. But the upward movement roused some of the big shorts to make a hot fight against the advance and a great volume of long wheat came on the market and the advance was checked. The news, too, turned less bullish; consols recovered all the early decline and the later cables quoted wheat lower and the Argentlne advices reported clearing weather and said that Argentine wheat was offered in London to arrive at lower prices. With this the market here soon became heavy and many of the early buyers began to sell out and it did not take long for the price to go off lc from the top and Jc below the close last night. The market was quiet, but steady during the last hour, May holding at 60 600. but without much business and closed at 60H'g6014c. Corn openid strong under the continuation of the warlike political situation in Europe. It acted very nervously for about two hours and fluctuated rather wildly. May, which closed yesterday at 28Tc, started at from 29c up to 29UC and rose excitedly to 29c. Calls, for the day came into play at the advance and selling against those privileges brought about a gradual, but irregular decline. The bulk of the selling after 12 o'clock was at from 2914'&29-c, and it closed at 29,4&23,,4c. Cash corn brought c a bu more than It did yesterday. - r Oats were strong In sympathy with the better feeling in corn, but most of the early gain was lost. May sold from 20j 20c and off to 19-igl9Tic split. Provisions started .firm and maintained that condition all day The same influences which had started wheat and corn were at work in the hog products market and, unlike the traders in grain, the provision men kept up the good demand with which they inaugurated the business of tho day until the session was over. r Hog receipts were even heavier than the heavy number estimated yesterday for today, but the reports from the yards were that every one wanted hoga at yesterday's prices. The day's run was 44,000 head and 45,000 is the estimate, for to-morrow. Offerings of products were light and that was a feature of the entire day's trading. The day's advance in pork was 2527130; in lard. .05.074c: ribs, .12a Estimated for to-morrow Wheat, 63 cars: corn. 375 cars; oats. 135 cars; hogs, 45,000 head.

A comparatively quiet week was to be expected after the remarkable activity of Christmas week, there has, however been a very fair amount of business done. A fair demand exists for most kind3 of domestic and foreign wool and the market is from every point of view as strong as It was on the last day of December. In Boston the sales this week have amounted to 3,000,000 pounds, of which 1,318.800 pounds were domestic. The sales in the corresponding period of 1895 were 2,354.950 pounds.

JURY SECURED IS TUB HOOKER MURDER TRIAL. Prosecutor TViltsle Opens the Case for the State with an Outline of What lie Will Prove. The first evidence In the case of Alonzo Rooker, on trial In the Criminal Court for the murder of his wife, Margaret Rooker,' will be taken this morning. Late yesterday afternoon the attorneys settled on the twelve men who are to try the case. It required two days and a half to finally select the jury. An attorney, who has been present In the court room since tbe case was called Monday morning, said yesterday that at least three excellent juries could have been determined upon In half the time. Both sides examined nearly a hundred men before they could agree upon a Jury. Fifteen peremptory challenges were had on each side,' the law allowing twenty. The men who are to try the case are: Louis G. Twente, Jacob S. Wood, Thomas F. Brown, George J. Miller, Chris Milburn, Allle J. Campbell, William R. Wycoff, Millard F. Connett. Alphonso N. Catton, Richard Sellers, John F. Craft and Charles Roberson. The Jury was accepted at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. All day the court room was packed with a morbid crowd of listeners. The crowd is a strange mixture of classes. Until yesterday afternoon the crowd was composed mostly of men. After dinner the south gallery was thrown open to the women, and the chairs were quickly filled. Many of the women were well dressed. They pressed close to the balustrade and gazed curiously at the wife murderer, seated with his attorneys below. "You bet the women always come to court when a man's on trial for killing his wife," observed a gallery bailiff as he let in a new delegation of femininity. State's Attorney Wiltsie began with his opening statement of the case soon after the jury had been impaneled. He put the case strongly and clearly before the Jurors. After defining the crimes of murder and manslaughter, he launched into the details of the Rooker tragedy. " The accused listened intently to the words of the prosecutor, but was apparently unmoved. Mr. Wiltsie followed the lives of the Rockers from the time of their marriage down to the night of the tragedy and the subsequent arrest of the murderer. He dramatically pictured the scenes in the little Rhode Islandstreet house where Rooker murderously attacked his wife and her friend, Emma Pees. The State will show, the prosecutor said, that Rooker was not insane when he committed the deed; that the murder was premeditated and emanated from a heart full of anger, passion and revenge; that Mrs. Rooker left her husband to keep the wolf from the door, and that the accused had time and again gone to her home after their separation and was supplied with food purchased with her hard-earnd funds. Mr. Wiltsle's opening statement was not conclued until after 5 o'clock, the hour of adjournment. IIORTON DAMAGE CASE. Plea In Abatement, Claiming Settlement, Overruled.
