duce Markets.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. gath.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. gath.
The question now before the public is, VIII
Wheat ever stop going up? An old-time boom
has struck the market. May Wheat sold at
81 165z on the regular session, against
81 141s during the early session.
Country orders came into the market in
great shape to-day. Brokers were made glad
as il the outsiders had read the tide of mat
tiers fully as well as the professionals, and
were now reaping their reward.
The Australian demand for California
Wheat appears as brisk as ever. Liverpool
is awakening to the factthat American Wheat
is cheap, and with all the war clouds around,
it may be well to refill their bins. European
atocks were never lighter.
The crop conditions abroad are not at all
favorable. Our export demand is the greatest
for years, showing conclusively that stocks
abroad are short and must be filled from
America.
The Argentine crop has proved very dis-
appointing. Europe expected to be able 10
draw heavily from that country. It is claimed
the Argentine crop is smaller than last years,
which was an exceedingly small one.
