The New York stock market yesterday, generally speaking, reflected the efforts of powerful financial interests to neutralize the effect of the reduction of the Delaware & Hudson dividend. Manipulation .was evident In the higher-priced stocks for effect on the general list. A tendency towards a higher level was apparent at the outset, which was Influenced by foreign buying In this market and the execution of orders for commission account. The expectation of Improvement In Impending railway traffic returns stimulated an inquiry for the leading railroad stocks. The traders disregard a stronger market for foreign exchange, owing to the more reassuring vtasmngton advices regarding the Cuban question, and made decided efforts to advance prices. Burlington rose a point on purchases for Boston account and there was fair buying of the lowpriced shares on orders principally from the West. Controlling interests in some of the specialties contributed support to the upward movement. The exception to the general trend of prices was the anthracite coal group, which displayed heaviness. The strength of the exchange market was due. to iarg purchases of bills by prominent lower Wall-street interests and the light offerings were subsequently supplemented by supplies of recently hoarded exchange. Actual rates rose slightly, but the advance In posted figures was more noteworthy. Chesapeake & Ohio was in grood Inquiry, advancing to IS on orders for foreign account, induced by the recent more favorable traffic returns and gossip of the probable declaration of a small dividend. The upward movement was checked soon after the end of the first hour by a vigorous drive at the high-priced industrials and a renewal of liquidation in the coalers. Business was less active on the decline, but the pressure was very persistent and eventually material losses were recorded in a number of stocks. Chicago Gas sold oft 2 and Leather preferred fell 2 iercent. on rumors of a probable discouraging annual report- and uncertainty regarding the disposition of the holdings of the late president of the company. Consolidated Gas yielded 3 per cent, to 111 and sharp declines occurred in Sugar and Tobacco. Delaware & Hudson was very erratic at the outset, but eventually dropped 2; per cent, to 110ft. rallying later to 112U. New Jersey Central sagged 14 per cent, in sympathy, but Reading lost only a fraction. The railway shares were well supported and rallied easily, partly on covering. The closing was steady, with the new changed unimportant, aside from the specialties. The bond market was strong and higher In most instances, some of the inactive issues excepted. Chicago & Northern Pacific firsts, trust receipts, developed activity and strength after long-continued neglect and re 2 per cent, to 42. The sales were $1.KO.Orttj. The principal advances ranged from Vz to Z per cent., the last in Louisville & Nashville. R. & A., firsts. The more noteworthy declines extended from 1 to 3 Ict cent., the last named in Ohio Southern fours. Government bonds ruled generally firm on transactions of J7.."WiO. State securities were dull, but a shade higher on sales of $10,000. Trie following taMe. prepared by L. W. Louis, j iom ii. ioaru vi iraue. snows the range ot quoiaupns; Opening.

vided between thirty-two commission houses. There are now some choice apples on the market, but they will not bring over $1.75 per barrel. Cabbages are not as plentiful and are firmer; also onions, but there are hundreds of bushels of io-taio-s on the market that have been touched with the frost, and are really unsalable. The connmlfsion men. however, are trying to work them off. Receipts of oranges are larger and the quality better, and prices have now dropped to where there Is wme money to the retail merchant in handling them. Poultry, eggs and butter are all firm at quotations. The local grain market is rather quiet, transactions are few and receipts quite liberals .Track bids yesterday ruled as follows: Wheat No. 2 red.

WHEAT BECAME FIRMER

EARLY WKAKM2SS OVliUCOMK AXD A CSA1X OF A CKXT SCORED. Market Snld to He . Largely Oversold nntl Higher Trice Inspected on Crop Damnge Reports). CHICAGO, Jan. 7. Wheat opened strong and closed at an improvement. for the day of 1 cent per bushel after an intermediate early decline to 8c below the lowest it sold at yesterday. Some of the shorts covered, but many more are still out in the frigid weather. A great deal of the strength came from the heavy export engagements reported from Boston. Other markets were extremely dull, but steady. Corn closed a shade higher, oats He higher and provisions 3c higher. Wheat had recovered from the extremity of yesterday's depression by the time of beginning the operations of another day. It started with a rise of 4c, or at from SITs to 82 cents for May. Only for a short time, however, did the fair opening promise for the bull contingent, and they had to suffer another bad half hour before the bull news became strong enough to change the tone of the market. In half an hour from the start May wheat had dropped to 8H4o. In the course of the next hour It had recovered to 82?8c. The firm opening was caused by the opening strength of Liverpool and the small local and Northwest receipts. The Ohio State crop report, which gave the condition of wheat at SS, compared with 101 Dec. 1, also contributed slightly to the opening advance. Liverpool, while noting a decline there of ?4d per cental to start with, ascribed it entirely to sympathy with the previous day's depression here. Chicago received ten carloads, compared with fifty-one a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth got only 209 cars, against 2C1 a week ago, and 53S on the corresponding day of the previous year. The temporary decline which followed the opening advance so quickly was partly because of second cablegrams quoting a further decline at Liverpool, and partly owing to the bearish tone of the Cincinnati Price Current's remarks concerning the condition of fall-sown wheat. Evidences of continuing demand for wheat from the United Kingdom then came in and turned the course of the market. Telegrams from New York and Buffalo reported vessels engaged at the former place for great quantities of grain for the United Kingdom; in fact, all the available ocean freight room until April. Buffalo said 750,000 bushels of wheat were under orders to go thence to Boston, and a New York message reported that a good deal of the Boston vessel room was taken for wheat from Chicago. About a half hour from tho close May was bringing 82c, and it closed at 82V2C sellers. Corn was inanimate. notwithstanding some disturbing rumors about immense quantities of hot corn In railroad cars at New Orleans and Galveston, which were, however, officially contradicted from both places. The business in the pit was very small and the fluctuations In prices narrow. May opened at 25sc. declined to 25ric, recovered to and closed at 25Vc. Receipts were only eighty cars. Oats were a shade firmer, as the break yesterday seems to have started considerable buying both to cover shorts and for the long account. Trading was extremely narrow, what little business there was being in small lots. A rumor from Boston to the effect that charters of oats for three days amounted to 1.000.000 bushels assisted materially in the late advance. May opened Mc higher at W'TtlOc, sold back to 1STc and recovered to lSVsC, at which price it closed. Trading in provisions fell almost to nothing to-day. not a single transaction being recorded in the first half hour. Opening prices were nominally a shade higher In sympathy with a lighter run of hogs than expected. When trading did commence this advance was maintained and a little more added to it, aided perhaps by the strength of wheat. At the close May pork was rc higher at May lard about 5c higher at $3.97' iu 4.00, .and May ribs about ac nigner at 4.ir. Estimated receipts .'for" Friday Wheat.

The Si4Ktker nnd III Andlenee. Lloyd Brice, in North American Review. The most singular phenomenon about Western meetings is the disproportion between their size and the town that produces them. Why. they not only often seem to embrace the whole population of the town, but of several towns conjointly, and one. might almost Infer that their extent Is In inverse ratio to the population they had to draw upon. A curious psychological study they offer, too. these .ast gatherings. I have often imagined the emotions of individuals are in' nsified by their combined number. Victor liugo in his? lectures used to address himself always to the most stolid countenance among his hearers, feeling that if he could make an Impression on him the rest would follow. Dion Roucicault. the actor, assured me he alwaj's addressed himself to the occupants of the galleries, who. beinpr drawn from the poor and consequently less conventional elements of society, were quicker to respond, and. consequently, to encourage him. A popular lecturer whom I know regards his audience as one huge, conglomerate pink face thp.t smiles, that frowns, that weeps, that quivers as a species of living composite photograph of the whole. A clever stump speaker. In explaining his success, attributed it to the fact that he always regarded his hearers as children, and couched his remarks In language that the juvenile mind would grasp. "An audience is a woman," a great French orator, now deceased, once observed to me. "subject to the same general rules that apply to the fickle sex. At one time It must be persuaded, at another caressed, at another bullied. It Is full of moods." There is certainly something feminine in the quickness of it crowd's emotions. The Intonation of a word may cause your audience to fawn upon you. or. on the other hand, to turn around and rend you. Perhaps It is half woman, half titer.
