CHICAGO, Jan. THE markets on Change
were very quiet at the opening this morning;
| the talk in the wheat pit was that the local
crowd was pretty nearly even, but were afraid
to sell the market short Local traders were to
| some extent deferred from going short over
| Sunday lest the expected cold snap should do
| serious damage to winter wheat before Mon
| days market opens Wheat started at a slight
| advance with May at 85c. Fluctuations for the
| first hour were between S45sGBS5c, but the
| greater portion of the time the market was
| steady at &34dDS47sc. May wheat broke down
| once to $3.50 before the close but enough buy
| ing orders were brought out to firm It up to
! size, where it closed. Corn opened with May
at $3.50 5434c, was absolutely featureless and
| closed with May at 543sC. Provisions, owing TO
light receipts of hogs at the yards, were slightly
| higher at the opening. May pork started at
| SIS As. an advance of 501716c. During the first
| nOur tfaulng was on a lllllueu SCdle anu Inc
market nervous, fluctuating between $l5 II and
| S15 3712 for May pork. Local operators traded
with a fair degree of freedom, packers selling
| pork quite literally at times and the country
| were buyers of small lots. Shorts were more
| disposed to cover and last sales were at an adj
vance over yesterday of 1Oc on pork, 216@g5c on
| lard and short ribs. May pork closed al SIS 50;
May lard sold at 81 s71a@7 % and closed at
