CHICAGO, January 2i.-The usual Saturday
quiet prevailed az the opening OF the board To-
day, though provisions gave some evidence Of
strength. Wheat was stupidity duh from the
start to Tire finish. May wheat opened at a shade
on at Sifc There was a general eyening-up
by scalpers during the session. but the prices re-
manned between Sa634c.. and May closed at
80 e. Corn was quiet az the start but did not re-
main 80 long. May opened at 53sSc. Several pro-
Ininent houses began picking up all Of tho corn
that was offered around the opening, and this
soon frightened the shorts into covering. and
May was rushed up 70 531Sc In q very short time.
Corn continued active and nfm all through the
session, and there was practically no re-
action FROM the early advance, although
there was some selling az top figures.
May closed at 53Ic. Oats started ia with good,
brisk trade In May options. and there was al.
vance Of katc over yesterdays closing prices.
The drmness was due 20 sympathy with the corn
market aud loernl buying by prominent ope-
rator. In provisions considerable interest was
manifested and the feeling was very firm In a
general way. Speculative offerings were not very
large. While the local aud outside demand was
fairly active the shorts purchased moderately.
