The New York stock market got away from the bears in the later dealings yesterday, and closed buoyant and very active, in part because of the rush of the shorts to cover. Some of the specialties were strong throughout the day, but there was a period in the early session when the reactions seemed to have gained control, some of the Southern and Southwestern stocks being sold down a point or over. The bears also attempted to utilize the introduction at Albany of hills directed against combinations of capital, but the effect of these bills was confined to Consolidated Gae, which fell over a point. Some heaviness early was manifested also in other prominent railroad stocks, which may have been due to sympathy with the depression in the same stocks in London and on European exchanges. This was notably the case with the New York Central jstook and Northern Pacific preferred. The forced covering of shorts and the later buoyancy of the market brought the exereme advances in some of the most prominent stocks to nearly 2 points or over, and net gains of a point or over were very frequent throughout the list. The failure of the bears to effect declines encouraged aggressiveness in the bulls. There was a growing feeling, also, that recent utterances by railway officials pointing to poor returns, on account of low rates and rate cutting, were not fully warranted, and were designed to influence public opinion and the action of Congress. The day’s report of railway earnings came to reinforce this View'. St. Paul’s earnings for the last week of the year were second only to those of 1892 for the corresponding period. Missouri Pacific shows an Increase in gross earnings for the last week of December of $154,009. Chesapeake & Ohio of $93,645 and Kansas & Texas of $56,607. The detailed statement for October of the Cleveland, Tx>rain & Wheeling started active buying of that stock in the final hour, which carried the price up to 1594. compared with recent bids of 13. Finally the Union Pacific reorganization committee presented its check to the assistant treasurer for $8,538,401, whicli is the final payment on account of the Union Pacific sale. The consummation of this operation, which has been a disturbing factor in the money market for over a month, and the absence of Hurry in the money market on account of it yesterday, were viewed with relief by Wall-streeters. The future ease of the money market now seems assured, as far as government operations are concerned. This encouraging combination of circumstances served to put an end to the bear campaign and turned the tide in favor of the bulls, though the day’s business was still largely confined to the professional trading element. Brooklyn Transit led the market both in point of activity and in extent of gain, which was 2% per cent. The bond market took on Increased activity and strength in sympathy with stocks and prices were generally higher. Total sales, $2.175 000. United States new' fours were V higher bid; the fives, registered, % higher, and the old fours, registered, and the fives, coupon. % higher. The following table, prepared by L. W.

HEAVY WHEAT MARKET FEAR OF LEITER ALL THAT PREVENTED GENERAL UNLOADING. News for the Cash Trade Was Strong, but Option* Scored Declines— Provisions Advunccd. CHICAGO, Jan. 5. Wheat was rather heavy to-day. and if the local talent had not been afraid of being caught by the Leiter party the %<&%c decline which marked the close in May might have widened into a heavier loss. Cash news was strong, but speculative news was weak. Corn did not move enough to be worthy of notice and closed unchanged. Oats declined %c. Provisions were the strong market of the floor and showed a closing advance of 7(&13c. Wheat started easy at about %c under the closing figures of the day before. May opened at from 91c to 91%e, and July from 826ic to 83c. It acted irregularly within a narrow compass for an hour, May playing during that time between 91%c and 91c. The slightly easier feeling with which trading commenced wasin part due to Thoman’s crop report, which made the acreage planted with winter wheat 11.4 per cent, larger than the area harvested last season. It also reported the condition now as 87, against 84.1 on Dec. 1, and estimated the quantity in farmers’ hands at 24<),0(X),000 bu, or 41.31 per cent, of last year's crop, and that there is available for export in the next six months 100,000,600 bu. Jt was also a matter of some disappointment to the bulls that the Minneapolis and Duiuth receipts were not reduced more materially than as shown by 358 carloads at the two places to-day, as against 441 a week ago and 120 carloads the corresponding day of last year. Chicago made some amends, however, only twenty-six cars being returned, as against estimates made the day before for seventy-five, and compared with 185 the similar day of last week and thirty-seven a year ago. Liverpool was about Vgd lower to begin with and dropped another %and later in the day. The first thing the bulls got any additional comfort from was the sale by Armour & Cos. of 40,000 bu No. 2 spring wheat for export at once by rail to the seaboard and a rumored sale of 32,000 bu. The price was said to be 4*/ac below the May price. New York confirmed the taking for export yesterday of eightyfour boatloads—496.o,o bu there and 176,000 bu at The export clearances from Atlantic ports were again liberal, amounting in w heat and flour to 500,000 bu. That was a sustaining factor, but when about two hours of the session had gone and the foreign markets were found to have closed weak confidence began to desert the early buyers and they became more anxious to avoid a loss during the following half hour than they had been before to secure a profit. Liverpool closed %and lower for the day, Paris at a decline of from 10 centimes to 15 centimes in flour and 10 centimes in w'heat, while Antwerp, in addition to a drop of 12*/2 centimes for red American the day before, reported a further decline of a like extent for both red winter and white Californian. Those features of the midday news caused a break to 90%c for May shortly after their receipt. Leiter’s agents were quite active sellers on the decline and the bull crowd was apparently playing for a break. Nevertheless it had the effect of keeping the smaller fry out, and after those who had bought in the morning had liquidated at a loss there was little trade of consequence besides the Leiter transactions, the local crowd evidently being afraid of being caught. A short time before the close May reacted to 91%c, which proved the final figures.

Corn was very quiet and price changes extremely narrow. The market was inclined to firmness, about the only really bearish feature being the extreme dullness of trade, which was mostly of a small scalping nature. No features of interest developed. May ranged from to 29e, and closed unchanged at 29* 8 e. Oats were almost as inative as corn, and fluctuations were even narrower. There was a little scattered commission-house selling of May. which, in tlje absence of support, was sufficient to depress prices a little. The pressure on January so prominent yesterday had almost disappeared. May ranged from 23%c to 23Vgc, closing %c lower at 23%c. In provisions quite a good business was done. The feature early was free selling by Cudahy. This and the weakness of the hog market caused prices to sag for a while. Quite active commission-house buying started later and the market became decidedJv strong. A bullish feature was the day’s shipments, which were again enormous. The close was at the high points of the day. May pork was 15c higher, at $9.35; May lard 7Vzc higher, at $4.90, and May ribs 7%5Y10c higher, at $4.70fu4.72 , / 2 - Estimated receipts for Thursday—Wheat, 80 cars; corn, 550 cars; oats, 300 cars; hogs, 44.000 head.

Jan. s.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow of the wool market: Most persons in the wool market have the impression that this has been a quiet week, whereas the sales In Boston have amounted to 7,050,000 los, or 254,00 c lbs more than the previous week. This is an extraordinary showing for the first week in the year. Below we give ttie showing for the past week, as compared with the corresponding period for a number of years: Ix9B, 7,650,0ii0 lbs; 1897. 3,800,000; 1896. 3.000,000; 189... 756,000, 1894, J. 814,500: 1893. 3,009,000; 1892, 1,857,000; 1891, 2.427,1X10. We sec from this that the sales last week were about 147 per cent, larger than in any corresponding period in the last seven years. A consideration of such facts as these has increased the hopefulness which has been witnessed on even- side regarding tne future of the market. It Is judged that, owing to the shortage in tne Australian clip and the detective character of the wool, goou staple wool will not be easily obtained during coming months. Consequently, the large mills have been continued heavy purchasers ot domestic staple. Nominal quotations have not been advanced but it is now much easier to obtain the prices which dealers have been holding for ever since the ••boom” culminated in October. Consignees have placc-d new restrictions on Eastern holders of wool. Staple territory cannot be bought under 52c clean, and some ask 58c. Pine and tine medium wools are worth fully 50c, and medium is quoted at 45c. In foreign wools, Australian c-ross-breds have been a feature, some half-bloods selling at 34c in the grease. NEW YORK, Jan. s.—The fifth auction of wool was held to-da.v at tiie Wool Exchange. Representatives of the wool trade® from all parts of the countrv were present. The catalogues consisted of over 1,300,000 ins of wool on a greased basis, and which realized over $250,000. About 6 lei cent, of the wools wer domestic. Boston, Providence, Hartford and Philadelphia were well represented by buyers. Batter, Eggs and Clee*e. NEW YORK.

Jan. s.—The dry goods market shows scarcely increased activity to-day. rne quota of buyers in the market is still small, although there have been many arrivals during the last few days. The mail order totals are not heavy, either, and except in one or two divisions which shine as notable exceptions to the rule, the situation is a dull one. Jobbers locally are moving some soecial lines of goods, but on the whole are not doing a heavy business. There is universal trouble about the arrangement of displays. In woolen and worsted dress goods, both plain and mixtures, the demand is fairly well sustained, while men's wear fabrics are in the main satisfactory. FALL RIVER, Jan. s.—The cloth market for near-by futures tool; another drop to-day and- - sale, rumored to be 2.000 pieces weekly, was made for January. February and March delivery at 2 3-160, a decline of l-16c. It is also reported that spots were sold at the same figure, but this cannot be verified.

GOOD STORY OF \A I*OLEO He Liberated a Scotchman at Obcrknini>f*M Retinest. Household World. Napoleon had at one time many admirers in England, especially' among the commercial classes, who suffered deeply from the war, but he alienated the sympathies of all such by his cruel arrest of the English who were in France at the time of the rupture of the peace of Amiens, in 1803. Some twelve thousand English, of either sex, were thus detained in irksome captivity till the close; of the war, and hardly a family irt the middle and upper classes but had to bewail the absence of some? friend or connection. Yet, in individual cases, Napoleon showed some; magnanimity. A young Scotchman, one Robert Hendry, from Glasgow, a scientific dyer and chemist, had taken advantage of the peace to visit the g 1 eat manufacturing houses of France, anei he was staying at Jouy, where Oberkampf had established a huge cotton printing factory, when war suddenly broke out. Hendry was thereupon constituted a prisoner by the authorities, but allowed to remain on parole at Jouy. Napoleon one day visited the factory unexpectedly, accompanied by Josephine; he made a rapid progress through the works; villagers and work people, the latter numbering 1,400, assembled to witness his departure, cheering the cortege, and cheering still louder when the Emperor was seen to take the cross from his own breast and affix it to that of the modest Oberkampf. Isabey painted the scene, and the picture is still to be found upon the walls of Versailles. But Oberkampf had still something to ask. Napoleon smiled propitiously, but made a wry face when he heard the petition, which was for the release of the prisoner. “An Englishman!” No, sire, a Scotchman! His mother—his sisters depend on his labors.” "Well, he shall be free, then!” said the Emperor. Fuels About IMPS. Pittsburg Dispatch. The year 1898 began and will end on Saturday.
