CHICAGO. Jan. 3o.-wheat got a weak start
and for q few minutes it looked RS IL there
might be q repetition Of yesterdays unloading
OF bull holdings. Long Wheat did no. come
cut however. The Liverpool market was
shade stsadier at K advs nee but on she other
hand the Northwestern receipts for the day
were heavier than they were on the CORE
'sponding day last year an the Berlin market
was one mark lower. An impression III 1t con-
gross would have to do so methins in line with
the presidents recomu 'sndatton was largely
helpful The total receiI Is At primary markets
were only I6S, 900 buslels compared with
l23I 900 bushels week ago 1t was reported
that very heavy purchases for axp ort were
made yesterday at the sea board, the New York
tskings amounting to 5, 100000 bushels At
Chicago 100 carlosds OF ri red was reported
Ito have been sod yesterday afternoon for rail
shipment to the seaboard- When, later in the
day 1t was wired from New York that Secretary
Carlisle about to arrange Tor the placing of
Si00, 900, 600 of bonds aC once to relieve the
present depleted state of the treasury, the
market becsme firm and sold up to 535s for
May about an hour from the close. The omen.
ing price was from 525h to 53z1 az against 521s
bid at the close yestsrday. 1t advanced 70 53c,
sold off again to 521ic. improved to o3ss and
was quiet but steady at 533k9 ct tue close:
due to the slump in the beginning made by
wheat. The former was the first to show re-
Ii
the first half hour of the session. lhe openin g
price of May was very irregular, there being
sales simultaneously at 431s and 4S@c, princi-
y,ally at the lower quotation. 1t gradually
hardened until just as the m arket was closing
44044llc was paid. 1t closed with 44c as he
nominal trading figure.
The receipts were light today and estimates
small for tomorrow.
The general impression among the pit ira
ders WAS that liquidation by country holders
has ceased and that the chances in tn. near
future were in favor OF buying on soft spots.
Oats started nrmer and remained 50 during the
entire session, excepting at one time just after
tine opening when the price fell r. The
market closed with the high prices prevailing.
Business throughout was active sympathy
duential In creating some hrmness May
started ut from 2S5sl92S31c, sold down to 2S1a
and up to 29c, where 1T closed.
The provision market was overwhelmed at
the beginning by the news from the yards. In
stead OF 36 600 hogs as estimated, 44,0oO was
given as the day run and $4,000 as the esi-
mates for tomorrow. The opening prices were
at from 5 to 15o below the closing prices of the
day before but the rates made at tine begin
ming were at the bottom nearly so, of the
days range. In the end pork and lard com
pared with the closing prices yesterday, was
unchanged and ribs 2}ac lower.
