CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-Wheat continued it's
record-breaking slide for oblivion to-day,
touching 527sc for May and closing sc
lower than yesterday. Better cables caused
an early advance, but free selling wiped it
out May corn closed 1sc lower May oats
unchanged and provisions slightly higher
The wheat market opened in a manner
to encourage the hope that liquidation had
run it's course. May, which closed yester-
day at 535s, opened at 53c bid with sales at
541sc at the same time After hanging
around sac for while It gradually weak
ened and about IL o'clock it was down
to 1885, which was it's previous lowest
point The OF the recovery at the
opening was unexpected gain of 1ad
in the price of futures of American red
winter wheat at Liverpool. That started
some local buying, but as soon as that
ceased the dark view of the future again
predominated and the decline reported was
the result. Chicago receipts for the day
were forty-eight cars, against hfty-five a
year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth received
together go cars, against 1856 last Saturday
and 149 a year ago. Bradstreet made the
weeks exports of wheat and flour from
both coasts $4,000 blu, compared with
1864, 900 bu on the week before and 2947,OO0
blu a year ago. Primary market receipts

week amount to $4,000 blu. Selling became
liberal the session advanced, May clos

record at 527sc.
The corn market, compared with wheat,
was firm on fair buying although in the end
lower than yesterdays closea May started
strong at 45ssc, or sc Improvement over last
night. Owing to the heavineSS of wheat and
some stacking up in the demand for ship
ment the opening advance could not be
maintained The close for May was 1850

Fair business was transacted in oats
values at the start were somewhat hrmer
and gradually eased off, closing a shade
lower, but within a very small fraction of
yesterdays last prices. The steadiness of the
stock were reported the causes of the
early firmness and sympathy with wheat in
fiuenced the decline. May sold from 29Hc
the opening price, to 2S11c and closed at
297k@295sc.
The provision market was steadied by the
