Lamson Bros. & Co.'S Chicago market
letter, by private wire TO 4. f. John
son, broker, Provident Building:
Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 20.-The general
strength, noted at the close on Saturday
was reiterated to-day, and a substantial
advance has been recorded in both grain
no encouragement in the news, and there
was large covering on the part of this
however, continued selling on the part of
some professionals, but their offerings
were well absorbed, buying being general
both by the country and local bulls Early
cables reported foreign markets higher
Northwestern receipts, 572 cars were 1852
less than a week ago. 1t was also report
ed that the worlds wheat shipments TO
Europe would amount TO only about $780,
coo bushels, or 10000 less than the theo-
retical requirement. This was considered
more bullish, from the fact that the to-
tai shipments last week were only a trihe
over 100000, which suggests that foreign
exporting countries are either not dis
posed to sell at present figures, or their
reserve Will not permit them to do So
the latter theory is given credence by
those who have kept close observation on
the situation abroad. The news on corn
large. and commission houses were large
buyers. Pork at one time showed an adj
vance Of 60 cents per barrel, lard and
ribs from 20 to Is cents per 100 pounds
over Saturdays closing figures, finally
showing a slight reaction.
