Chicago, January 1S.-For the third
day in succession wheat was Influenced
almost entirely by Liverpool. The
sharp advance in that market as a re-
suit Of unfavorable Argentine and IL
dla news caused an opening advance
Of 14c in May and that advance was
also shown at the close. A feature was
the buying Of July by the Dull ri Que
brokers and an advance Of &c in that
option. Corn and cats were duh ana
closed a shade lower. Provisions
made small advances am: had the
best trade in a week.
Wheat got a good scnd-oif from the
early cable news. May was wanted
at from 91asc to 911ac at the opening,
against SOS oslo at the close the pre-
vious day. The Liverpool quotations
were advanced ed per cci-tal over
night, and reason given fer it COM
prised several items OF considerable
importance. The. poorer crop pros
poets in India were mentiohGl as tho
chief item. Heavy rains in Argentina
were reported TO be unfaforebie for
wheat, and the continent vas sail to
be taking the arrival cargoei eff coast
in the United Kingdom. London
qucteG cargoes on passage and off coast

weie to the eite,t That with splcnlid
roads farmers wero delivering .ery
little and country elevators were be-
ing gradually emptied by the induce
ments being offered in the way of
premiums for cash wheat over futures.
Considerable activity was impaired
TO the dealings in July by the buying
of that future by Allen Grier against
sales for May. The operation was
supposed to represent the taking in of
spreads for the group OF st. Louis
spectators. July opened at SIC and
was advanced to 92Ac by the undoing
of the St Louis spread; and May,
which did not get above 918s sac,
dropped back to 91aSe, while July was
making the rise. Bradstreet's report
Of the worlds visible made decrease
Of 1851 900 bushels in stocks east OF
the Rockies and 100000 bushels de-
crease in and afoat for Europe. The
reduction on the corresponding week
Of last year was 100000 bushels. The
