Lamson Bros. 4 Co.'S Chicago market
letter, by private wire, TO T. F. Johnson,
Droker, PrOEldent building:
Chicago, Jan. 1s.-During the past week
there has developed a marked increase,
and interest in the speculative commod1-
ues, especially provisions, and the lethargy
which for the past four months has been
noted feature in our markets, is being
snow more interest, and country orders
have been on an increased scale. The con-
dltions surrounding the market seem of n
bullish nature, reports from abroad tend
TO indicate that the wheat crop in Argen-
tine and India IS below an average, and
that these countries will not be competi-
tors 10 a large extent in an exporting
way, which VIII neceSsitate a larger with
draWal on American supplies. Our visl-
bic supply has increased only about 20
per cent. of what it did for the same
period last year thus indicating that some
30OO0,OOO bushels of wheat has gone in
to consumption, more than last season,
consequently the increase in receipts is
rather bullish than beaTish. The mar
ket to-day has had a strong undertOne,
shorts being good buyers. Corn has
awakened from its dull state, and trading
has been on a large scale. The strength
in hog products and liberal export de-
mand, together with large buying by
shorts, who sold around CSC, has been
the factors. We feel very friendly to May
and July corn on any declines from pres
ent figures. The country has been a large
buyer of provision the past week, and
gained control of the market. Receipts
of hogs show a falling off, and the for
eign demand seems large"
