WHEAT STRONG And HIGHER.
MAY SOLD BELOW soc FOR A TIME,
BUT CLOSED AT so Use.
Liverpool Firm, in Spite of Mondays
Drop in ChicasO-Corn and Oats
Each Gain 1-4c-PrOVisions
Weak and Lower.

Chicago. Jan. 12.-Wheat sold below Soc
to-day, but rallied later, and closed strong
at 85sc, or &c above the closing figures of
yesterday. Good cash business and renewed
reports of the Argentine crop failure were
features in the advance Corn and oats
followed wheat. making advances of &c
each Provisions were weak, and lost
5a10c.
In wheat Liverpool opened only lG1kd
lower than it closed the day before, not
withstancling the 12sc drop here. Because
OF such relative firmness abroad the mar
ket here opened firm at from S02sc to SOI1c
Tor May; or from &c to sc above the point
Northwest ern receipts gave indications of
increasing, the foreign news was not found
the vgoroL selling with which Il was i'm
Inediately attacked. May yielded slowly
but surely until il reached soc, and then
dropped ano ther &c to 7924c in about half
q minute, the lowest price it has sold at
for some til ne. That was the turning
point, howeve r, for, as the first selling fur
~ ceased, the news of the day began TO
have its effect and the price recovered a
other way. ONE of the strong factors was
an Argentine cilble from the representative
of the Deering Harvester Company in Ar
gentlne, who reported that the crop there
was a failure, and that the export surplus
would not exceed 12,0OO.0OO and would prob
ably not be more than 1000 bushels
Another encourag ing factor was the sale of
100000 bushels OF cash wheat here for
prompt Shipment to the Seaboard by rail
well as the repetition of crop damage
news from Europe. This was influential
enough TO put the price up to size by II 80
o'clock. There was some reaction after
that on realizing, but. in the main, prices
were firmly held to the close of the session
May finally sold to S05sc, and closed at that
figure.
Corn was firm. but dull. the strength
coming principally from the advance in
wheat. The seaboard clearances were
aGain liberal. amounting to 4I6 760 bushels
The only bearish item was the local re-
