STOCK MARKET OPENING WEAK Most Stocks Regain Early Losses After Initial Hour. NEW TORK. Jan. 14.—There were declines In many issues at the opening of the stock market today, hut after the first few minutes there was evidence of the same absorption that lias been in progress for three weeks and it was not lone before many of the early losses were turned into gains. A feature of the early trading was that many stocks that sold ex-dividend were under pressure. Crucible was ex-divident 2 per cent, nnd after opening at 02 was offered down to 90a loss of over 2 points. Republic was ex-dividend 1% per cent and opened at 6S, a loss of 14. Sears-Roebuck had a test as to the strength of its position, the action of the directors in making the dividend payable in scrip instead of cash being need as a reason for concentrated selling on which it declined over 2 points to 88%, but this loss was quickly recovered. Steel common was quiet, selling at £2%, a net gain of % of a point. Although the majority of the list showed a strong tone during the greater part of the forenoon, there were some weak features, chief among them being American Hide and leather preferred, which fell nearly 4 points to 43%. Leading issues, however, were generally in good demand. Sears-Roebuck. after selling down to 68Mi, rose to 01%. Reading was most active of the rails, selling up nearly 2 points to 85%. Republic Steel recovered its dividend, advancing from 68 to 69. Crucible Steel rallied from 90% to 92% and Baldwin was in good demand at close to yesterday’s final price. Mexican Petroleum, after selling up to 161%, dropped to 159 V. and then rallied to 161. (By Thomson & McKinnon) —Jan. 14— We have had a fairly active market, with values fluctuating within a Ulieral range, and presenting a very noticeable feature, a tendency toward dullness on the bulges. This is usually a fairly good indicator that urgent buying has ceased, and this is entirely in order, since we have had an immense amount of buying of the urgent kind, presumably a covering of short commitments. And since the advance has been a liberal one its perfectly natural that new buyers should hesitate. . So far as we- are able to Judge there has been no change in the friendly market sentiment that has developed during the last couple of weeks, but technically the market has been weakened and this is a rnightv good reason for a little cantlon. In the rails the demand is spasmodic, but considering the slowing down in business and the disappointing earnings, the rail market has given n very good account of itself. During the immediate future we anticipate less violence in market swings. We expect more or less irregularity with s reasonable setback from the recent advance. and on the declines, if t materializes. stocks should again be accumulated. twenty stocks average. NEW YORK, Jan. 14.— Twenty 'n,ustrlal stocks averaged .4.4,, off Per cent. Twenty active rails averaged . 6.t<5. off .63 per cent. CLEARING HOI SF. STATEMENT.

To some extent the report of the Censua Bureau, showing consumption of 294,851 running bales in December, may have influenced the market, and it was also affected by reports of large shipments from New Orleans. Notices of 21,000 bales were issued this morning.

Medium, heavy and mixed hogs were generally 25c, but there were cases of sales fullv 50c higher. However, the number of sales this much higher were scattered and few. Good heavy hogs generally sold at $9.50979 75. mixed and mediums at $9.73(g) 10: pigs. $9.50@10, and roughs were close to steadv at $7.50<?i8 25. Receipts for rhe day were close to 15.000 fresh hogs nnd approximately 1,500 left over from the Thursday market. There was an active demand by both the local packers and the eastern ship pers. and indications at an early hour would lead one to believe that there would be but few stale hogs left over for the closing day of the week. There was a good, strong tone to the trading in the cattle market, but prices were no more than steady generally, although there were a few scattered sales ut slightly higher prices on some goon cattle. Asa rule the quality was poor, but there was a [tart load of fancy tmlfers that, although they were not sold at an early hour, would bring higher prices, it was said. Receipts for the day were close to 700 fresh cattle and probably 200 stale cattle in the pens. There was an active tone to trade in calves, with prices steady. The top of $15.50, which has prevailed for th* last lew days, was maintained and the bulk of the choice calves sold at $14@15. There was a weak period in the calf market at the close of the Thursday market, in some cases selling as low as $1 lower. There were about 450 calves on the market. The sheep market was irregular, with steady prices on most of the sheep, but a few fancy lambs were $1 higher with a top of $lO. Sheep generally sold at $l<S35O Receipts for the day approximated 300.

GRAIN FUTURES TRADE SLOW Fractional Fluctuations Featured Entire Market Trade. CHICAGO. Jan. 14.—Grain prices fluctuated fractionally in trading on the Chicago Board of Trade today. After a weak opening, some strength developed, due to considerable local buying and covering by local shorts. No great interest was displayed in trading. Provisions were lower. March wheat opened at $1.7810, off % of a cent, but regained % a cent before the close of trade. May wheat opened off % of a cent at $1.70, advancing % a cent later. May corn opened at 74%e, off %c, but advanced %c before the close of the market. July corn was off %c at the opening of 75%c, nnd held that figure tn later trading. After opening %c lower at 48%0, May oats advanced %e. July oats opened at 47%e, off %c, and gained %c subsequently. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —J an. 14 — Wheat —A cessation of foreign buying of wheat nnd reported resale of one cargo by Italy gave an easy tone to the wheat market. Foreign buyers seem to be pursuing their usual policy of refits lng to enter the market when prices are advancing. Therefore, the slowing down of export business yesterday should not be construed as a permanent withdrawal of foreign buyers from North America. It is understood that a tax of 6%c per bushel will be recommended to the Government on Monday next, at the present time, Argentine wheat is quoted abroad at 5 to 0 below wheat from the United States, but this will not. prevent a further demand for our wheat for the reason that it is in better favor with the foreign trade, and usually commands a fairly good premium. It is noticeable that a broad investment demand does not prevail in this market. Therefore, with the export business more or less intermittent, there may be a further decline, although we are of the Idea that sufficient expert business has already been (lone to make it difficult for domestic millers to supply their wants and therefore feel that prices will recover from all depressions. Corn—A rather liberal export demand underlie* the corn market, but beyond this there is no prominent buying power. Bids from abroad were on a slightly better basis but still show a very small profit to the Western shipper. Offerings from the country yesterday were not particularly heavy, nut every advance brings out inquiries from the country dealers. If not actual offerings. This condition, together with the known enormous size of the crop, pievents any ideas of important advance in prices. Oats—lt is not possible to say anything new of the oats situation The market Is neglected from every angle except possibly that elevator interests are sellers whenever market advances moderately. Provisions—A little more Interest is shown in products, with fresh meats lirm and higher. As yet, there Is no improvement in the export situation. CHICAGO GRAIN. —Jan. 14— WHEAT — Open High. Low.

In 1915 he produced 126 bushels of oats an acre on 1.075 acres, and In 1016. 54,230 bushels of wheat on 1,000 acres. The latter yield established a world’s record 1,000-acre average for wheat. The Noble Foundation farm comprises 33,000 acres, of which 30,000 are under cultivation, it is divided into two tracts one of 10,200 acres surrounding the village of Nobleford, and 23,800 acres known as the Cameron estate, ten miles from Chin, on the Canadian Pacific Railway. A large portion of the land has been summerfallowed and 3,000 acres are planted to Rosen rye, anew vraiety introduced into Alberta by the company.

RUSS REPORTED CONSIDERING 3 NEW WAR DRIVES P London Foreign Office Discovers Effort to Regain Balkan Boundaries. OTHER MOVES OUTLINED LONDON, Jan. 14—Three military campaign*, one of them affecting Great Britain directly, have been under consideration by the Russian government, according to reports today to the British foreign office. The three possible theaters, outlined by an official of the foreign office are; The Baltic states, through Roumanla to Constantinople or through the Caucasus to India. Accustomed to war scares which never materialized, the foreign office investigated carefully after the first reports of Bolshevist plans emanated from Parts. It was found that an extensive movement has been started fdr the Baldly, drive to reclaim the pre-war Russian lines. Dispatches from Athens today lent color to reports of the Russian purpose to claim Constantinople. These reports eald hundreds of Bolshevik agents had appeared in the Turkish capital to work among remnants of the Wrangel army there. The Wrangelttes, according to these reports, were urged to execute a coup d'etat, seize the city, proclaim a Red government nnd enter an immediate alliance with Moscow. Foreign office Investigations cause the belief, however, that the first Russian attack will be launched at the Baltic territories. Lately, it was reported to the foreign office, Russia has been using her influence to prevent Lithuania from receiving the mixed troops sent by the League of Nations to supervise the Vilna plebiscite. It was expected that still I larger Red concentrations might be effected on the Lithuanian boundary to frighten the country Into barring the league’s force.

The head of a family will then have to recapitulate the names and nationality, etc., of ail persons who lived in bis or flat during that night. In that it is hoped not only to have figures as to population, but also to be able to trace all those who have so far escaped paying taxes of all descriptions, of which there are now thousands in France. The last census taken in France was In 1911 and showed that at that time there were 45,165,337 inhabitants in France and In Algeria. One million one hundred thousand foreigners registered. In the next census and despite war losses the figures are expected to be much higher by the return of Alcase Lorraine to France, whereas, the number of foreigners is expected to be in excess of former figures due largely to the anticipated number of tourists.
