Chicago, January 24.-Bullish in
! luences galore were attendant upon
/ hNOS
day. Liverpool was the chief factor
with opening advances ranging from
| IA TO 1Md. The worlds shipment OF
/ 5,174,000 bushels were comparatively
| small, being made so by the RUSSIAN
! and Danubian shipments, T6S,000 bush
/ els being reported by the former ana
| only $4,000 by the latter which in both
/ instances was less than half as Mucn
I as last year. The Italian wheat duty
| was reduced 1928 cents per bushel Tor
ninety days. Liverpool stocks were
| also much smaller, which was given as
! one of the reasons for the advance III
that market The more general cX-
/ nlanation offered, however, for the
| continued strength abroad in tf2 taco
| Of the apathy in cur speculative mar
kets. was the inability to obtain prop
critics at the ruling prices as fast as
they are required. This state of affairs
ouestifes the question, What has be-
| iusti6es the question, what has be-
! only bear factor was the northwest re-
CENTS. which amounted to 425 cars,
AGAINST 1S5 a year ago; although last
| Mondays aggregated $50. Notwlth-
standing the sharp opening advance
of SAC. trading was dull. There was
! some selling against calls. but after
a slight recession a full recovery en-
sued Continental wheat stocks are
smaller than year ago. Total at 40
| different centres on January l, were
40 COO 600 bushels, an increase Of 3,OOO,-
| GOO bushels during December. A year
ago there were 100000 bushels. Over
half the present stock is in Russia.
Odessa has 100000 bushels, against
| 10 400 900 year ago. After noon trad,
ers realized. and in its quietness the
market became easier, although imme-
diately before the close a good de-
mand and covering by shorts resulted
in !. cent advance. The coarser grains
were quiet and heavy, despite the
| strength in wheat. Provisions we're
helped by light hog receipts and fair
! demand.
