Chicago, Jan. 15.-st. Louis began COW
erng short wheat In this market at noon
yesterday, and continued doing so until
about the same hour to-day, prices re-
spending moderately TO the buying but,
when that demand ceased, weakening
and declining followed. Liverpool cables
did not fully reflect the advance Of one
cent on this side yesterday. that fact oc-
casioning disappointment and causing a
weak and lower market at the opening.
Anticipation Of bullish report then in
nuenced the feeling for the better, but
when II was ascertained that the report
would not be forthcoming to-day. the
tone became depressed. May wheat open
ed from S0l2dSO3sc, sold between 81 and
797kc. closing at SOc--1aaSsc under yester-
day. Cash wheat was irregular closing
weak and re lower.
There was nothing doing in the corn
market. few professional scalpers
hung around and a stray order in com
mission mems hands were noticeable,
but Il was difficult to trade. there being
so little interest shown. May corn open
ed at 2fsc, advanced to 25c, declined to
and closed at 2l%-l4d2sc under yester-
day. Cash corn was firm at unchanged
prices, closing nomlnally easy.
As has recently been the case, more
business was transacted in oats than in
corn. but II was mainly local, and evil
denced the professional sentiment. which
was gagged by that OF wheat. May oats
closed ak@lzc under yesterday. Cash
oats were firm, whilst trading was under
way. but the nominal close was weak
with the futures.
