Chicago, Jan. 13.-Liquidation Of long
wheat brought about a decline in that
| commodity. Conviction grows that war
between England and Germany is only a
remote possibility and large quantities of
wheat bought last week IN the belief that
| trouble was imminent. changed hands and
was bought other by the shorts or less
enthusiastic bulls. There was a short
period of firmness in the morning on q
large decrease in New York stocks, and
on large export clcarances, but these fig
ures were forgotten when the final foot
ings of the visible were made public, a net
decrease of SJ7, 900 being unsatisfactory to
holders and Initiating a selling movement
which eliminated in a loss Of &c from
the outside quotations of the day. May
wheat opened from 20 to 53M to $3.50 sold
between 597s459Ac, and 5s7sG59c closing
at 593sc. 1c under Saturday. Cash wheat
quiet and steady, thes weakest period Of
the session being subsequent to the an
nouncemeDt estimate Tor tomorrow, SO
cars.
Corn.-The movement of this grain is
apparently approaching the heaviest and
the sentiment grows weaker as it en-
larges. The weakness Of wheat during the
last hour of trading wass also an import
ant consideration and helped the prices
on the down grade. There was TEMPORARY
steadiness during the morning but prices
were at no time higher than at the close
Of Saturday. May corn opened at 2sIkc
sold between 2sibd2Sssc and 2sIle. CLOSING
at the inside, hmssc under Saturday. cash
corn was i4c under SATURDAY..
Oats were quiet and declined through
force of pressure of weakness exhibited
by the other grains. May cats closed &c
lower than Saturday. Cash cats were
unchanged.
Provisions-Not to be outdone by grain.
provisions moved in q downward course
