last Wednesday they have been unloading.
selling what they csuld without break.
Wheat held up in fine shape to-day, not
withstanding the panic in corn. The mar
ket was fairly active and weak early in the
day, but later became stronger and i'm
proved about 1c. January was 15c higher
than it closed yesterday; February 1ac
higher, March $sc higher, and May Sse
higher. At the opening the feeling was
heavy, with little demand and quite lot
of selling orders. On the market prices
eased off some, but later under an increas-
ing demand the market improved
and the shorts became liberal buyers and
sold up 10 11Sc leased off, again improved,
fucuated some and closed steady. During
the afternoon hardly anything was doing,
but prices were fully maintained.
The -four market was more quiet and
trading lighter, with the heavy snow max
ing great difference in the movement
and preventing the usual shipments. There
has been another influence that has made
a big difference in the business, in that
much higher asking for the -four and
the refusal on the part of
millers to accept the bids, has led to a
withdrawal of buyers, or of all but such as
were needed for immediate wants, and
will curtail business for some time. Mil
lers report a scarcity of desirable wheat
already, and throughout the milling dis
tricts a large proportion of the available
wheat is in, and these parties are not car
ing to sell, and have placed high limit on
their property and are not willing to force
a sale at present. The home trade had fair
stocks Oh hand and were not on the mar
ket to purchase, or at least to
pay the advance demanded, while very
little went outside, or particularly on ex-
port account, with shippers reporting over
stocked markets in England and only a
fair demand from the continent. Rye -four
was less called for, or hardly as firm.
Buckwheat flour sold slow and lower, with
little call and more of desire to SELL
Bran and all mill stuffs were going out
only fairly, with the demand and supply
light.
Oats were more quiet and easier, with the
weakness in corn and heavy receipts of
oats giving depressed condition to this
trade and an average reduction of about
Ic per bushel. No. cash sold at $500
and in quite fair request at this price,
while sample lots were going out slow and
at lower prices, and only the better and
brighter cars went off with any freedom.
Future deliveries were quiet and prices
were somewhat lower. Some frmness was
shown in the afternoon delivery.
Rye was neglected and dull, and with
lower prices ruling with fair call for cash
at Bc reduction, but more
than this for the longer options.
No. cash sold fairly at 62c, and samples
at relative price. This market has been
more than usually changeable for the past
two weeks, working up rapidly for the
week ending Saturday, Jan. 20, and drop
ping back as heavily and about as rapidly
for the week ending to-day, with the par
ties buying the week previous as anxious
to sell the past week. This trade is sub
ject to the one-man power, End although
his throne is on the back of chair and
rather sharp seat atAthat, still he has
been sharp enough to make everybody
interfering with what he calls his spe-
cialty lose money. The offerings were
larger of cash and the demand for the
same light, and this helped to the decline.
Barley was more than usually quiet, and
for No. 3, lower prices were ruling, with
few sellers and very little demand. No.
2 cash was firm at SAC; while No. 3 was
offered at 52c, and SOC the best bid, while
market the trading failed to exhibit any
thing like the usual activity.
Operators were in fair attendance, but
there was no disposition upon any side to
branch out, and consequently the move
ment dragged somewhat, the days busi-
ness being only moderate in volume. The
feeling, however, was quite steady, and
Saturdays range of prices was well sus-
tanned. The fluctuations upward were con-
fined to a small limit. The receipts of
hogs were only moderate for Monday.
Product was in light shipping and con-
sumptive demand.
Pork was steady, strong and
so far as prices were con-
cerned, without much change from
Saturday. The trading was little slow
and the session passed without any unusual
development. The late futures traded in
were regarded with the greatest amount of
interest. Cash pork was quiet.
Lard was only moderately active.
Traders of all classes seemed to be little
reluctant to take hold with any particular
freedom, and the days trading was conse-
quently little slow. Prices fuctuated
within Saturdays range, and closed about
sc higher. Cash and January were quiet.
Both held firm through the afternoon ex-
citement.
About 10000 hogs we're received to-day.
The market was active and strong with
prices shade better.
