CHICAGO, Jan. 10. - Wheat started
with bounce today, and closed &c
higher for May. Export sales reported
from st. Louis, small receipts, liberal
buying and bulish Cincinnati Price
Current summary all acted i'll the aid of
advance. May corn closed &c higher,
and May oats &c higher, but provisions
finished at declines.
The market for wheat started with
jump. The Cincinnati Price Current
said that the quantity of wheat in farm
erS' hands was from $4,000, 900 to 60,000.-
600 bu smaller than at the correspond
ing time of last year. and the figures as
cribed to Thoman, pointing to dia-
metrically opposite condition of affairs,
were at once relegated to the oblivion
of an exploded fake. The price of May,
which was 571ac at the close Yester~
day. rose to 5S3g@5S15c as soon
as the market opened and there seemed
to be but little disposition Oh the part of
the shorts to increase their lines at the
advance. Some covering of the shorts
helped TO give spirit to the opening
jump. The receipts were again small,
smaller than ever, the total of the pri-
mary markets being only $4,000 blu.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 207
cars at the two places, compared with
291 cars last year. Liverpool was quoted
firm and I'd higher at the close after all
easy opening. Berlin quoted rise of
from q mark to mark, due to further
unfaVorable adviceS regarding this Ar
gentine crop. A piece of bullsh news
reported rivers in Argentina overflow
ing their banks from excessive rains.
Export clearances Of wheat and flour
from Atlantic ports aggregated $50, 600
blu. The market held its opening adj
vance substantially throughout the Ses-
sion, and closed at 5S$s @5S15c for May.
Corn took its cue from the wheat mar
ket, and acted strong, with an increas-
ing tendency throughout. The May
option started at 475s94Sc, and main
tanned this advance. 1t did not drop
below 47Sl@478c, and closed at 1870
4S1c bid. Receipts were only PAS cars
against estimates of 80. The poor con-
dition of country roads was suggestive
of smaller receipts in the near futures,
and a better demand was observable
for car lots through-biIled. No. 3 yell
ION, WuiCH was olOW VI odlC yColCluoy
at 391@395Sc. was in good demand at
40c during the greater part of the Ses-
sion, only few cars being picked up
at 5000. The demand for carloads to
60 to store was also better today.
Business in oats was only of fair vol
ume and price fluctuations were narrow,
influenced somewhat by the movements
OF corn. There was only small incllna-
ton to get rid of stuff and quite all ur-
gent disposition to buy, principally from
shorts. May opened &c up from yes
terday's last quotation at 81 sc, sold up
to and closed at Size.
The provision market was dull and
without special feature except that
the packers appeared willing to take
advantage of the stimulating effect of
stronger grain markets. The tendency
was downward after short period of
frmness near the opening. May PORK
touched Sl2 for second. but closed at
s11 .S219 as against Sl1.95 yesterday.
Lard closed at decline of nc and ribs
