CHICAGO. Jan. 20.-1n wheat Liverpool
was again the factor at the opening. That
market opened I'd lower, which was not ut
all commensurate with yesterdays local
decline and cables showed this loss recov-
cred. Opening quotations for May were
1914 and sold at once to 19B0S0. Although
the Liverpool market opened at Ad de-
cline, May here started shade iirmer than
1t closed yesterday The opening business
was at from 791a479% and before II soic
below the lower OF these prices II brousnt
u more than the highest. 1T then gradu-
ally declined again TO 1919 and even to 1898
for few seconds, sold later under the IN
fuence. What appeared from st. Louis
about demand for cash wheat there ana
the quantity sold yesterday afternoon at
the same place, the price had sudden rise
to s0ls before the sellers again outnumber-
ed the buyers. The first decline after the
comparative strength at the start was oW-
ing 10 reports OF renewal of yesterdays
weakness at the local stock exchange. The
chief interest centered around the amount
OF wheat sold at st. Louis TO go TO southern
mills. The last report concerning 1t was
that during yesterdays session 6O000 BUSH
els were sold and before the close of the
session 250.G00 bushels more. In addition
10 COO bushels were sold today making II
total of 42O bushels and il was reported all
of 1t was TO millers in the south. Chicago
receipts were 30 cars against 20 last year.
Northwestern receipts were 2l2 cars COM
pdTeu WITH Elo last Wcch anu -po last year.
May, which in the meantime had declined
again TO 97lh advanced TO Syll@ SOS, closing
at S0lsIS0A. Corn was fairly active and
steady with but few sales in large lots.
Oats were firm early in sympathy with
wheat and with some country buying.
Heavy offerings by the short contingent
caused some decline which was recovered
later when covering set in In provisions
the smaller receipts of hogs than expected
caused firm opening at some improve
ment in prices. The market received
enough support to advance prices still
more.
