The offerings have been a little better the past
close OF our last review. But the frmness then
was of a speculative character. resulting from a free
buying by shorts. The cash market. continues mar
most of the week. Friday just before the adjourn
ment for the new year holidays an advance Of
&c under the influence OF very light arrivals was
established, but there was no general buying. Only
local dealers and a few nearby order men taking
hold at the improvement. Exporters still holding
aloof. as prices continue beyond their reach. Tues
day. a break in Chicago Of lc in May deliveries and
better offerings than for some days and a reported
decrease in the visible supply in the United States
and Canada of 426. 600 bushels caused buyers to hold
back and trading light and prices generally &c lower
and the close was at the low point Of the day. 1t is
thought a number of the heavy longs in Chicago
have sold out and this has caused much of the

days speculative decline and broke a good &c. ana
demand slow at this reduction. That is, mixed. Re
ceipts were better and outside buyers wanted moth
ing. White in light supply and what few samples
IN brought about steady prices. But only its scarcity
prevented 1t breaking with mixed. which sold down
as low as 34I4c Just before the close. Some holders

There continues q want Of interest in this market.
Arrivals still light, only about enough coming In TO
supply the home and nearby order trade. Under the
influence of scarcity values were held about steady.
Buying. however, was hand to mouth throughout the
week. values being too high for any outside move
ment and are held up solely by the light receipts.
Futures in Chicago broke Tuesday. but the declins
there was without noticeable infunce upon the cash
market here. which was wholly controlled BY the re-

ceipts. A few holdover cars were all the offerings
and they sold a little higher and without trouble.
