The New York stock market yesterday developed little feature and there as a decided absence of news bearing on the general situation aside from the announcement that an agreement had been arrived at by the Ohio soft coal roads to be operative for one year. The news did not exert as much influence as Its Importance would appear to warrant, owing to the demoralization that has resulted from the savage and long-continued cutting of rates and prices. Hocking Valley scored decided improvement, however. The common rose l?i to 10U, and ' the general mortgage fives Vi per cent to 75. The other securities of the road were not dealt In, but substantial advances occurred in the bid quotations. The general market eympathlzed to a moderate extent. London prices came higher and foreigners exhibited a disposition to purchase small amounts of low-priced stocks, particularly Northern Pacific common and preferred, which were stronger and more active than for ?ome time past. The traders appeared inclined toward the bull side in view of the assumed fairly la xe proportions of the hort interest, wh',ch has recently made a strong play against the coal stocks to facilitate covering purchases In the general list. Satisfaction was expressed by the bulls over the continued increases noted in bank clearings and Improvement in the tratlic earnings reported. The declaration of the initial dividend on Omaha common proved to have been temporarily discounted as far as the price of the company's securities was concerned. The anthracite coal stocks were helped by covering during the greater part of the day. but sagged fractionally toward the close in sympathy with concessions in the general list due to realizations. The market vas very dull at intervals, but the 'light aggregate of transactions were fairly well distributed. In the Inactive spells occasional demonstrations were made by the bears against the high-prid specialties. Manhattan loomed into prominence in the late session and receded 1 per cent, on the circulation of rumors, afterwards olliclally denied, of tne probability of a large Issue of bonds. The recent acquisition of the Second-avenue surface line by practically Metropolitan Traction interests was also advanced as a bear argument. Transactions In the Inactive stocks wejje attended by some wide fluctuations, particularly in ljong Island, which fell 2 per cent, to 44. The grangers and high-priced industrials moved within a narrow range. Dealings in speculative bonds were on a. Utrhter kIa than usual recently. The exceptions included Atchison adjustment fours, and Northern Pacific general threes. The last mentioned securities were taken largely fqr foreign account at Improved prices. The market closed heavy at unimportant fractional net changes. The bond market displayed aggressive strength, especially in the gilt-edged issues. The movement was well distributed and advances wcro scored ranging from 1 to 1U per cent. Government bonds were quiet but strong Jn tone on sales of 5.10.000. The following table, rrepared by 1 W.

To Indiana Farmers: The committee appointed by, the Farmeis National Congress to Investlg-ate and promote the beet-sugar industry respectfully recommend to the farmers of Indiana who have any considerable amount of black, rich land to make a. test of the same by the gTowth of a small plat, say half an aero or less, in sugar beets, weighing and keeping an account of the number of tons their land will produce to tlio acre, selecting an average sample and sending the same to Purdue University for analysis. There will be no waste of money or timo involved in making this experiment, as the beets produced will fcupply tho best and cheapest possible food for stock and especially for milch cows. When these tests are made by the farmers of the State and their result made public we can know whethei our land3 are well adapted to the production of sugar beets, and. if so. we can secure the location and building of FUgar-bect factories. None but the imported German or French seed should be used. The average product of beets per acre should bo ten to twelve tons, and the price paid by the factories is $5 per ton, giving the farmer $50 to $G0 gross and $30 to $40 net per acre for his land. The cost of tho beet-sugar factory 1.4 very great, not less than $:XiU,0C0 for a factory that can be operated at a profit, and such Investment cannot bo secured In such plant until the proposed experiment has been made and it has been thoroughly demonstrated that our land and climate is adapted to the production of beets of sufficient sweetness and in sufficient quantity to render the location of a largo factory profitable. The . United States is paying France and Germany about $13),0,(XjO annually for ?ugar, for the production of which their farmers are receiving $50 to $40 per acre for their land, while we are selling them our wheat and corn at a price which, yields us but $r to per acre for our land. The newspapers of the State are requested to give publicity to this and to urge upon all farmers of the State who have black, rich land to join In this experiment E. F. MARTIN DALE. Member of Committee for Indiana. PORCH CLIMBERS SENTENCED. Terre llnute Denln with the Trio That Worked This City. A dispatch from Terre Haute announces tho conviction and sentence there of the three porchclimbers arrested in November for the robbery of tho house of (7. A. Schaal. The men are known as William Vrigh4. alias Watson; George Evans, alias Jack Frey, and II. Martin, alias James Martin. They were arrested on the morning after they had stolen $s00 in money and jewelry from Schaal's residence and as they were preparing to come to this city. They had already expressed a box containing their stealings to this city in care of the Denison House, and the box was recovered at tho hotel. The men are supposed to have worked Indianapolis quite extensively about the time of the fall election. There were many robberies reported at the time. When there was a public demonstration down town there would be several houxes. where the people were away, entered and plundered. There was also some porchclimbing. The detectives remembered seeing the men hanging about the Denison House about tho time of the election and were about to arrest them at one time, but had no evidence against them. The dispatch from Terre Haute states that the men were not to have been tried yesterday, but an attempt to break, jail hastened the trial. The night before they sawed through fourteen inches of steel, which they softened by an improvised alcohol lamp. This made the authorities anxious to get lid of them and they were taken into court yesterday and later in the day to Jeffersonville. Wright and Evans were given four years each. Martin, who Is dying with consumption and who was not actually engaged in the Schaal robbery, was given only two years. VITAL STflTlSTlCS-JflN. 28. Deaths. Frank E.

BEARS CONTROL WHEAT

ANOTHER 1 3-IC KNOCKED FROM PI1ICK OF 3IAY AT CHICAGO. All tho News Favors the Hulls, and the Weakness Unexplained Provisions Scored Losses. CHICAGO, Jan. 2S. Wheat got below 73c to-day for the first time In many weeks and closed at a decline of lic for the day. Tho news rather favored buying instead of selling, but liquidation and short selling was heavy nevertheless and brought about tho decline. Corn and oats were comparatively lirm, but declined about c each. Provisions lost 2,.2t7Vic Wheat opened rather firmer than it closed yesterday, though at substantially unchanged prices, the additional strength coming from the first Liverpool cablegrams, which quoted that market steady. A private cable said the previous decline had brought out buyers. Buying was pretty general at the start, May advancing in the first half hour's trading from 7G!?iS7Gic. the starting point, to 77c. Besides the firmness of the cables the small receipts at Chicago and In the Northwest tended to strengthen the hands of holders. Receipts here were 23 carloads, against 115 a year ago, and Minneapolis and Duluth received 182 cars, compared with 232 on tho corresponding day of the week before and 491 cars last year. After tho early buyers had been satisfied, however, the market turned weak, although there was no apparent reason for it. the news which came in during the day being decidedly of a bullish character. New l'ork reported some continental demand for wheat and San Francisco reported sales of wheat for France and flour for Australia. One hundred and fifty thousand bushels No. 3 spring were sold here for prompt rail shipment to Baltimore, and New York wired that 150.UOO bushels Manitoba spring wheat had sola mere for export at May or June shipment. In the face of this May steadily declined, reaching 7514c about half an hour from the close. Then liquidation on a large scale set in. During the closing moments a number of stop-loss orders were caught, depressing the price to 74?bc, where it closed. Trade in corn was comparatively heavy and a general covering of short lines held the market in the face of heavy selling caused by the weakness in wheat. The aggregate of the short corn covered would be difficult to estimate, but it was so universal that the quantity must have amounted to several millions of bushels, exports from Atlantic ports being heavy, the quantity being 596,709 bushels. May opened unchanged at 23"sc, advanced to 24Vic and declined to 233i'?i 2374c, where it closed. Oats were fairly active from start to finish. Shorts were urgent buyers during the early part of tho session, but tho sharp slump in wheat changed the feeling and the early buyers became sellers. May opened unchanged tit 17'17?ic sold to 177se and dropped off to Kc, which was the closing price. Provisions enjoyed a fair amount of business. Prices at tho start were a shade firmer on the lighter receipts of hogs than expected. During the last hour, however, liquidation on quite an extensive scale broko prices sharply. At the close May pork was 7c lower at l.lli'. May lard unchanged at $3.9of 3.97V2. and May ribs about lower at $3.I7Vr4.
