Yesterday’s New York stock market showed signs of a struggle by the bulls to sustain prices whiio they were taking their profits. They were moderately successful and sold, large blocks of the stocks which have been recent speculative favorites without producing any marked decline elsewhere in the list. Northern Pacific preferred is the only one of the recent favorites which shows a net gain for the day, but the declines jo the others were not sufficient to uncover any large number of stop-loss orders. The sharp gains in special stocks at different times during the day were evidently due to manipulation for the purpose of sustaining the general market. This together with the higher range of prices reported from London in the morning kept stocks well above Thursday night’s level during the early part of the day, but closing showed an easy tone, with prices generally at the lowest. New York Central was conspicuous under realising pressure after the opening and closed 1% lower than the day’s high point. Kansas & Texas preferred showed an extreme Recline of 1% and Rock Island one of a full per cent. Heaviness of the grangers was an additional factor in the decline, the December statements of St. Paul and Burlington with the small increase shown in net earnings having an unfavorable influence on the general list. London sold on balance In this market several thousand shares of stocks, especially of New York Central. This added to the heavy tone to quite a marked extent. Still another factor on the side of the reactionists was the weakness In the anthracite group, declines in some of its members reaching a point. The local New York group added the weight of its weakness to the burden of the bulls. The sudden spurts of strength shown by Northwest, Louisvillo, Denver preferred and a few other stocks proved unavailing to counteract the general lower tendency. Exchange hardened a fraction for demand in response to London's continued selling of stocks on this side. The announcement of the withdrawal of £IO,OOO pounds in gold from the Bank of England for shipment to the United States was without any effect here. Reports from London during the earlier dealings showed prices for Americans higher and the market quite active, the speech of the President last night being assigned as the cause. The anticipation of this Speech has been used for several days by the bulls in Wall street and the realizing the day after its delivery was in accordance with the usual practice of professional traders. The business in the bond market continued on a remarkably heavy scale and prices generally are higher. There were single transactions In par value of $150,000 and $75,000 of the Union Pacific purchase certificates, of $125,000 of Atchison adjustment fours and of SIOO,OOO of Erie prior fours. Total sales, $5,300,000. United States old fours registered were % higher bid; the new fours % higher bid and the old fours, coupon, and the fives % higher. The following table, prepared by L. W.

The Late Gen. Nathan Kimball. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The announcement in the news columns of the Journal of the death of Gen. Nathan Kimball recalls to my memory recollections of him during the months of January and February, 1861. He was then a practicing physician and the proprietor of a drug store at Loogootee, Martin county, Indiana, a straggling village on the line of the O. & M. Railrcad. His store was a convenient place for the transaction of the business in which I was then engaged with the many farmers who made his store their headquarters while in town. In this way I often came in social contact with the general. The question of the dissolution of the Union and the duty each citizen owed zo the national Union was the all-absorbing topic of discussion. Kimball was a Democrat of the Douglas mold, while the farmers were generally the followers of Breckinridge, all typical “butternuts,” both in dress and opinions. His was a positive nature. He was in no sense a temporizer, but sincere and aggressive. The integrity of the Union was a theme from which he would not shirk. He was a bold and impressive advocate of it, and when these rural “butternuts” would indorse the eoflrse of the Southern tire-eaters in his presence it would bring forth from him such a flow of invective and burst of oratory that marked him at once a patriot and a leader among men. 1 was then in my "teens,” and knew little about the pending struggle, or really what patriotism consisted of or what it meant, but with frequent intercourse with General Kimball at that period 1 was not left in doubt, so plain, so forcible, so convincing were his utterances. As I now recall his gallant stand for patriotism in the presence of those "butternuts.” with his natural moral, mental and physical attainments, taken as a whole, in which he was so much the superior of his fellows, I am not surprised that Governor Morton had confidence in him and that he made one of the most trusted and efficient officers of the late war, and since that time one of the best citizens of our country. Such men as Kimball saved Indiana to the Union and the integrity of all the States. J. R. M’BRIDE. Washington, D. C., Jan. 27. Building Permits. J. Efroyson, repairs, 336 Sinker street, $149. W. J.

WHEATON THE RAMPAGE LEITEK SEND* PRICE OF JANUARY TO *l.lO AND MAN TO S> 8-Be. Weakness In Cable News Qniekly Overcome by Demand—Other Grain Unchanged—Pork Lower. — ♦ CHICAGO. Jan. 28.—Wheat to-day made the best prices on this crop, the January option being bid up to sl.lO and closing at SI.OB. The top price was lc above the highest figure reached during the recent bulge in December. May sold up to 98%c after a weak opening, but closed unchanged. Heavy Argentine shipments were against the market at first, but later strong foreign news and the usual ‘'pushing” by the Leiter people sent prices soaring. Corn and oats followed wheat and closed unchanged. Provisions declined 2%®5c. It looked at the opening in wheat as if the long-looked-for reaction was about to tako place. For the first time in.two weeks news really favored the bears, and a decline in prices at once ensued. May, which closed yesterday at 97%®97%c, opened today at 96 1 / i&96%c, and July, in which option, however, there was not much trading, opened %®lc lower at 86®86%c. There was plenty of selling at those figures by heavy holders, and May was down to 96c and July to 85%c before any supsxirt of consequence materialized. Traders were somewhat staggered by the weakness at Liverpool. That market opened ■JiSPid higher, but a large slice of this advance had been lost when 1:30 p. m. cables came in. This weakness was explained by the Argentine shipments for the week, 364,900 bushels. This was more than twice as much as during the previous week. Northwest receipts were liberal. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 394 cars, against 358 last week and 194 a year ago. The impression caused by the Argentine shipments and the Liverpool decline lasted about an hour, when a covering movement resulted in an advance in May to 97c, when another spell of unloading carried the price back to 96%c. The market then gradually recovered and held firm but dull at about 96%c for some time. After midday the market began to develop some of the bull snap of yesterday. The principal reason for the renewal of bullish energy was the strength shown by Antwerp when that market was heard from. It showed an advance equal to 2%c a bushel for American red andil%c for Walla Walla. Paris was also higher by about %c. The next was the very heavy clearances of wheat and flour for the day from Atlantic ports. The latter amounted to 790,000 bushels, inclusive of 60,780 barrels of flour from Newport News. The strength first developed in May. Bids for that delivery brought few responses, and prices slowly climbed until one of the Leiter brokers commenced bidding for January in an attempt to buy 70,000 bushels. He succeeded in getting but 20,000 bushels at this price, in the meantime jumping with its usual rapidity to sl.lO, the highest point yet reached for this season's crop. This also created an active demand for May from all quarters, and the price soared to 98%e. At the top prices immense quantities were offered, which the crowd took eagerly for a time, but about ten minutes from the close the market broke under the pressure, May dropping to 9674 c and January to SI.OB. That was the closing price for January. May closed at 97%c and July at 86%c. Corn was easier with wheat at the start, and again strong when the latter showed its midday bullishness. Trading was of moderate volume, St. Louis and shorts leading the buying. There was considerable realizing during the morning. May ranged from 29%c to 29%c and elosed a shade lower at 29%®29%c. Oats were quite active. There was heavy buying by shipping and commission houses, the selling being principally by elevator interests and longs. The export demand was very urgent, and this and wheat were the controlling influences. May ranged from 24%>e to 24c and closed a shade higher at 2474 <U 24%c. Provisions were fairly active early, but became dull later in the session. Heavy hog receipts and the weakness in wheat started the market easy at small declines. These were speedily recovered under good support, all offerings being readily absorbed, and the market ruled steady until near the close, when the reaction in wheat was reflected in provisions, and some decline ensued. At the close May pork was 5c lower, at $10; May lard 2%c lower, at $4.90, and May ribs 5c lower, at $4.92%.

LONDON, Jan. 28.—There was the usual large attendance at the wool auction sales to-day. The offerings aggregated 14.487 bales, including choice Victorian greasy, which were keenly competed for by the home trade and American buyers. The latter buyers purchased 350 bales; sometimes they could not reach the sellers’ limits. Good Australian merinos easily realized late rates. New" South Wales w-001, especially high scoured, was strongly competed for, the continental buyers paying two shillings for choice New South Wales stock. The home trade paid Is 7'Ad for Port Philip scoured. Locks and pieces sold extremely well under an increasetfcGerman demand. Better cross-breds sold chiefly Tor the home trade. Medium wools ruled firm and inferior stock irregular. A small lot of Cape of Good Hope and Natal wool was offered and sold at unchanged prices.
