Lamson Bros. & Co.'S Chicago market
letter by private wire to 4. +. Johnson,
broker ProVdent building:
Chicago, Jan. 2l.-The advance to SIC
to-day was largely caused by further
covering on the part of prominent shorts,
nut as soon as this came on, II caused the
market to decline, and there seemed to be
a general inclination OF holders to realize.
The concenSus of opinion seems TO be that
the advance IN grain, and provisions. has
been little too rapid, to be maintained.
The worlds shipments prove not very
large. 100000 bushels. Receipts, both at
primary points and In the northwest, were
small although advices from Minneapo-
lis state that wheat to arrive is being Of
fored very freely on this advance. Brad
street made a decrease I'm the worlds visit
BILE Of 1900 900 bushels. Some of the trade
had figured on a larger decrease than
this, and became sellers, when the ng-
ures were known. Gables quoted foreign
markets higher. There was free buying
OF corn by commission houses the fore
part of the session, causing a strong mar
ket, but prices subsequently became cas-
Ter, with the decline In wheat. Receipts
of hogs were about as estimated, though
prices were up, with good demand; pro-
visions opened strong on this, reacted
slightly, then advanced under liberal pur-
chases on the part OF packers"
