Chicago, Jan. 26.-The long wheat
which has been changing hands all the
week was up for sale to-day again ana
there was no evidence at the close of the
session that it had gone into any stronger
hands than previously held it. The condi-
lions remain unaltered and a suming up
gives no new ground for hope that q
change for the better is, as yet probable.
The large stocks do not diminish with any
rapidly, the growing crop outlook con-
tinues favorable, there is no improvement
in the export inquiry and the big drain in
the gold reserve still keeps up with con-
tinued shipments of that valuable metal
to foreign countries. The bulls found a
ray of hope in the fact that Liverpool ca
bles We're quarter of a penny higher
this morning, notwithstanding our decline
OF yesterday, and on that slight adVan-
tage, succeeded in securing a very moder-
ate advance, but the enCoura cement was
short lived and before the close the
pressure TO sell was again too powerful to
permit of even steadiness, another break
taking place. May wheat opened at 541sc
sold at sac, declined to 525s053c and clos
ed al 53C-9s0%ic under yesterday. Cash
wheat was i40i2c lower than yesterday
Corn-It was said to-day that corn would
have shown important Improvement had
it not been for the influence for weakness
that wheat communicated. The cash de-
mand for corn past, present and pros
pectiVe, leads traders to believe that better
prices are not improbable and the snow
blockade with its eXpectant reduction
tended to infuse confidence to-day. May
corn opened a 457sc, declined to 453yc: clos
ing at the latter being i of a cent under
yesterday. Cash corn was firm and Lc
higher early, but became easier when the
futures declined.
A fair buying of oats near the close
steadied that grain about the time it was
feeling the effect of weaker wheat and
corn prices. Early there was nothing no.
tably to the business, sympa thy with the
other markets controlling the action. Nav
oats closed shade lower than yesterday
Cash oats We're firm
Provisions-No difference from the usual
market product was seen to-day. The bus
mess was barren of feature. Higher prices
for hogs gave firmness to the opening and
early trade, and scarcity for orders per-
mitted prices to hang around to quotations

the last few minutes on the loss i'm wheat
