sN Chicago, Jan. 14.-The favorable effect
produced by extraordinarily large export
clearances of wheat and flour at the sea-
board caused covering of Short" wheat
to-day, and resulted In a fair recovery to
prices. 1t is doubtful, however, If there
was encouragement enough derived from
these shipments to prompt much If any
investment buying. The ease with which
the recent decline was achieved has inn
bued the bears with confidence, although.
as yet, they act with considerable eau
ton. Early the tone of the market was
irregular. Later, trade was dull, and the
direction of prices irregular, but finally,

than yesterday. Cash oats were steady.
Provisions-The product market had
quite a little boom during the morning,
fair all round advance in prices taking
place. Higher prices at the yards was pri-
marily the consideration. An estimated
falling off in the packing to March l, as
per the Cincinnati Price Current, also
helped values. May pork closed 22}ac
higher; May lard 10c higher; May ribs 100
12l5c higher.
