A Chicago market report of Jan. 81,
says that wheat received rather an I'M
expected setback to day, opening a
cent or SO below Saturdays close, and
during most of the session it was weak,
selling down to IS cents for May half
an hour before the close. This reac-
ton of 81 cents from the high point of
last week is not looked upon by the
friends Of wheat as being in any way
indicative of the final figures which
the May option will attain, but rather
as natural recession due to the re-
alizing of profits by several large op-
orators who began buying wheat
around 80 cents. January wheat,
which event out" to-day, was also off
in price, selling at Sl.O3 before the
session was half over, thus showing
that the shorts were all in. The men
who are still ranged on the bull side
of wheat are more confident than ever
of the strength of their position, and
say that for the future the scene of &C.
ton will be in this country rather than
Europe, claiming that far more than
the natural exportable surplus has al
ready been shipped abroad, and that
when this fact is fully appreciated
there will be scarcity of wheat in

was weaker to-day, a natural reaction
after the sharp advance of last Satur-
day.
