CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-The strength Of
yesterday was not apparent in any of to-day's
markets, and, after the first general equalizing
IN the wheat pit, early in the day. things were
very quiet. May wheat started in at 86!c, in
spite of the efforts of several strong parties, who
attempted. through holding it up on the curb, to
start 1T at S6Sc. The object seemingly, in Civ
ing the market a good start was apparent when
the session opened, for these people Immediately
began to offer large lots from all sides
down to s5.c, where buying checked
the market for short time, and large influx
or outside orders coming in at this juncture, sent
the price back again to 854c This latter buying
was caused by reports of big export demand at
New York. Later advices dwindled the reports
down to the chartering of three boat loads, and
prices dropped down to S5sc, where the market
closed for the day In the corn pit the market
opened firm, with May at 41c, and
after the opening, but the big drop in wheat,
together with heavy sales and the heavy
receipts. pulled the figure down to 40ac, where it
remained quiet In the oats crowd, the course
