By private 'wire to Murphy & Oo.
New York, Jan. 13. The stock mar
ket today drifted downward throughout
the session on scattered liquidation
through the list, there were no develop
tmenits in the (monetary situation to ac
count tfor the 'weakness but there con
tinued to be apprehension of gold ex
ports. The uncertainty with regard to
the decision of the U. S. Supreme court
on the application of the State of Min
esota to file suit 'against the Northern
Securities company Was a bearish in
fluence which was not lessened toy the
postponement of the argument on the
application for two weeks. (Congress
uncertainties and the apprehension
aroused by recent western failures were
also dwelt upon effectively by the bears.
The declines were very general and in
numerous instances exceeded 1 per
cent. The weakest issues 'were .St.
Paul, Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific,
Baltimore and Ohio and North West
ern, in the Railway list. Atchison com
mon was sold down sharply on criticism
of the new "bond issue, but later the
stock received considerable support. In
'the (industrial list Sugar suffered from
profit taking and lost two per cent.
Tennessee Coal & Iron lost over 2
points tout United States Steels declined
with reluctance. Amalgamated was
well absorbed by the pool in it for a
time, but it finally ibroke 2 1-8 and
closed substantially at bottom prices.
There were frequent and narrow
changes in Salt preferred, covering a
range of a:bout 3 per cent. In the local
tractions there were sharp reactions due
to profit taking. The market closed
weak.

New York, Jan. 13. There was quite
an active trade in wheat again and
prices after opening up turned weak
and lost the advance, selling below Sat
urday's figures. Caibles were steady
but this seemed to be without influence
and for a while there was considerable
wheat for sale. Later prices steadied
with less activity. 'Northwest receipts
were large and there was some selling
on this account. Winter wheat received
markets report steady and the weather
continues cold and clear in the winter
wheat states and the Northwest, with
no snow in the winter wheat States.
Foreign statistics showed but little
change in the amount on passage, but
Australian exports were large. Wheat
was irregular in the afternoon with at
times considerably selling, closing
weak.
CORN There was good trade in corn,
the market opening quiet and steady
then turned heaivy and showed a drag
ging disposition during- the morning, in
fluenced possibly by the heaviness in
wheat. Caibles were quiet with Russian
exports of only 603,000 'bushels. The
receipts continue good at the west, and
demand is reported (moderate. Corn
was very firm at midday partially re
acting at the close.
Provisions quiet and steady.
